Chapter 24

Author: Lucky Hit
By the time Mia showed up at the hotel, several of the items had already sold.

“Daniel, what exactly are you doing?”

The door opened, revealing a room now crowded with cardboard boxes.

Daniel sat at the desk with the resale site open on his laptop, checking the information on a shipping label. He glanced up at Mia, then went back to what he was doing.

Mia stopped in the doorway and looked around.

Three sealed boxes sat against the wall. Several pieces of clothing were spread across the bed,

    Several people in the hotel lobby had started looking over.Mia stood there holding the phone, but she didn’t argue.The sound of Daniel retching behind the bathroom door the night before came rushing back to her.He had been in there for a long time, and she hadn’t even opened the door.She had just made one cold remark and walked away.She had thought he was putting on an act because she had rejected him.But now Daniel was sitting right in front of her, his lips pale and the back of his shirt damp with cold sweat.No one could fake looking this sick.“Ethan.”Daniel opened his eyes and reached for the phone.“I’m fine.”“You always say you’re fine!”“I took my medication.”“Go back to the hospital!”“The doctor told me to come back in three days.”“That was assuming you’d actually rest!” Ethan snapped. “How is hauling your laptop to the law firm supposed to count as resting? Is Chloe really going to lose the case if you stay away for two hours?”Daniel was silent for

    “Mia, did I mess up again?”Zion’s voice came through the phone while Mia was still standing in the hotel room.She didn’t answer right away.She just stared at the empty doorway.Daniel was already gone. The door had long since closed behind him, leaving only the boxes waiting to be shipped and the sales list still lying on the desk.“I already deleted the post,” Zion said after a pause, his voice more cautious now. “But I heard Daniel’s planning to leave Cloud City. Is he leaving because of me?”“Who told you that?”“Mutual friends are talking about it. Someone even asked me if you two are getting divorced.”Mia picked up the sales list and scanned the items already marked sold.Watches.Tie clips.Cuff links.Suits.He had barely kept anything.“This has nothing to do with you.”“How can it not?” Zion’s voice trembled. “If I hadn’t come back, Daniel never would’ve gotten the wrong idea about us. Mia, maybe I should talk to him and explain.”“Don’t!”The other end we

    But Mia refused to admit it.She called Zion.The phone rang for a long time before he finally picked up.“Mia.”His voice was rough with sleep.“Delete the post.”There was a brief pause on the other end.“Why?”“I said delete it.”“Did Daniel see it?”“This has nothing to do with him.”“But I only made one post. I didn’t mention your name, and I never said you gave me the watch.”Zion sounded hurt.“Did I cause trouble for you again? If Daniel’s upset because of this, I can apologize to him.”“Don’t.”“Mia…”“Delete it.”“Okay,” Zion said quickly. “Don’t be mad. I’ll take it down right now.”The call ended.When Mia refreshed her feed, the post was already gone.She lowered her phone and turned back to Daniel.“It’s gone.”“Okay.”“That’s all you have to say?”“Yeah.”“Daniel, do you think I’m ridiculous right now?”Daniel finished gathering his documents and slipped his laptop into his bag.“You already know the answer to that.”“Can’t you at least give m

    She hadn’t knocked on the door.She hadn’t called a doctor.She had simply thought he was being difficult.Looking back now, even Mia couldn’t explain why she had been so cold.“I didn’t know you were sick.”“You could’ve asked.”“I did. You wouldn’t tell me anything.”“Because I knew you wouldn’t stay.”Mia stared at him.Her eyes didn’t redden, but the color slowly drained from her face.“How can you decide that for me?”“Because for five years, you’ve made the same choice every time.”“I have a job.”“I know.”“Zion needs me too.”“I know that too.”“Then why can’t you understand?”Daniel turned away, his voice low.“I’ve been understanding for five years.”“Then what do you want me to do?”“Nothing.”He walked over and took the scissors back from her.Mia didn’t stop him. She just watched as he put the scissors back on the desk.“If you like the watch, keep wearing it,” Daniel said. “I don’t care about it anymore.”“What did you say?”“I said I’m done guess

    “When did you get that watch?”Mia followed his gaze and looked down at her wrist.“Yesterday.”“Who gave it to you?”“I bought it myself.”Daniel didn’t ask anything else.He walked over to the desk, pulled up a photo on his phone, and held it out to her.Zion had sent it to him a few days earlier.In the photo, Zion was sitting by the window of a cafe with his wrist resting on the table, deliberately showing off a limited-edition watch.He wore a faint smile.The caption read, “It’s nice when someone remembers.”Daniel hadn’t responded or saved the photo. But later that night, Ethan had forwarded it to him, so it was still in their chat.Only now did Daniel notice the connection.Zion’s watch and the one on Mia’s wrist were from the same collection.Even the subtle detailing around the edges of the faces was identical.Mia’s expression darkened when she saw the photo.“What are you trying to say?”“Nothing.”“You think Zion gave me this watch?”“No.”“Then why are

    But because Daniel had almost never pushed back before, Mia had gotten used to being the one who called the shots.Now that he was finally laying everything out in the open, she was the one who couldn’t handle it.“I already had someone clean up Clearwater Heights and put everything back in order.” She changed the subject. “When are you coming home?”“I’m not.”“How long are you planning to live out of a hotel?”“As long as I want.”“You don’t have a steady job, and now you’re having health problems. How far are you planning to take this?”Daniel looked up at her.“Whether I have a job is none of your business.”“I’m worried about you.”“You don’t need to be.”“Daniel!”Mia’s voice rose.Daniel didn’t back down.“You’re not worried about me. You’re worried about what happens to your life after I leave. You’re worried people will find out we’re getting divorced. You’re worried Zion won’t like it.”“That’s not true!”“Then look at me.”Mia did.Daniel was still pale, wi
