Chapter 6

Penulis: Anonymous
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Justine snapped out of her reverie and suddenly felt a flicker of nervousness.

After composing herself, she opened the door again.

It was Jack Titterington, my close friend.

Jack dropped a heavy box right in front of Justine, then clapped his hands.

"These are all things Craig told me to give you. Take a look and see what's inside.

"Oh, and he asked me to get a cloth doll from you. Said it was crafted by his father, and he only plans to give it to the one he loves."

Jack's face was unreadable, even a little annoyed.

"Hurry up. Craig's waiting for me to send them back."

Justine crouched down and opened the box, her eyes widening in surprise as she saw it was filled with gifts she had given me over the years.

All kinds of things, big and small.

Truth be told, most of these gifts were bought after the occasions, nothing really heartfelt.

But even the envelopes from fifteen years ago were still intact, just a little yellowed with age. It was clear I

  • My Final Happiness   Chapter 9

    After ten years, I had long forgotten what it felt like to love Justine.Hearing the heavy sighs from Bernard and Sally stirred a flicker of sadness in me as well.After the celebration banquet, I ran into Justine by the door.She looked pale and gaunt, completely changed from the vibrant girl I once knew.If Bernard and Sally hadn't quickly rushed over to steady her, I wouldn't have even recognized her.She leaned on a cane, trembling and unsteady.When she saw me, tears suddenly spilled from her eyes."Craig…"Her voice was rougher than I remembered.I never expected someone who once cared so much about her appearance to become like this.I gently pulled my hand away and said, "Maybe you should go back and get some rest."Justine shook her head."No, it's too late for that. I know my time is running out. I've been tormented by illness all these years. Maybe it's some kind of punishment from God, turning me into this."I look so awful. I used to think that after ten years

    Bernard's years of authority only made his anger burn hotter."Do it, or I'll freeze your cards."Though Justine was still bitter, she didn't dare defy her father.Reluctantly, she dug it out and handed it to Bernard.Seeing my father's garments, Bernard couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.Then he looked at Justine and asked, "After all these years, do you really have no feelings for Craig at all?"Justine leaned against the doorframe with a sneer. "What, did he send you as his messenger? Tell him if he wants to make things right, he can come here and apologize on his knees.""You're hopeless!" Bernard slapped her square in the face. "He's going to contribute to the country someday! Unlike you—still living off your family's money after all this time. When will you ever stand on your own?"Justine covered her face, completely stunned. "He's clearly talking nonsense—""Nonsense?"Bernard called me right in front of Justine.By then, I had joined the organization, and my

    Justine finally said, "If you want the doll, come get it yourself. No need for all this mess. You can just take the doll and go.""No, thanks. Just tell Jack to toss it out since no one wants it.""What… That doll is the only keepsake your dad left you!""So, you know that's the only thing my dad left me!" I shouted into the phone. "If you know that, then why can't you give it to Jack? Let him return it to my mom! What exactly do you want to do by keeping it?"Heavy breathing came from the other side before she snapped, "You're actually yelling at me? Well, I don't care. You gave me that doll, so it belongs to me. If you want it back, come get it yourself!"I heard the crack in her voice.Then the call ended.Jack messaged me, asking what to do next.I just felt my frustration boiling over. If I had known back then, I wouldn't have given it to her!I took a deep breath.[Never mind. Just wait. I'm sure she'll give it back. If she refuses, we'll get her parents or my mom invol

  • My Final Happiness   Chapter 5

    I went back inside to grab my confidentiality agreement without even glancing at Justine.That night, right before my flight, my phone buzzed nonstop with messages from her.[I'm confident you can't cut me out of your life.[I'll be waiting for you to come back in a few days.]I snorted coldly and immediately blocked her, deleting every message.It didn't matter. Time would prove I was serious about this.Meanwhile, Justine stared helplessly at her phone as each message failed to send.Growing frustrated, she kept trying over and over, sending the exact same words again and again.But everyone ended with a single tick, indicating I had blocked her.She had already moved out and was living with Wayne now.After his shower, Wayne called softly, "Justine."Tonight, Wayne was shirtless, wearing only a towel around his waist.His hair was damp, half-dried, and he radiated that fresh, just-out-of-the-shower scent.He leaned over and wrapped his arms around Justine."It's so lat

    Bernard and Sally stood up and leaned in to look, their faces lighting up with delight."Well, this is good news!"Others gathered around, curious."So, it's confirmed?""That's Mr. Russell—Craig wouldn't dare fake this, unless he doesn't care about living anymore.""Wow, congratulations, Justine. Looks like your patience is finally paying off.""Exactly. You hate Craig so much—now he can finally stay far away from you."For once in all these years, I actually heard words from them that I wanted to hear.I still had a few hours before my flight.I glanced at my phone and said simply, "If there's nothing else, I'm heading out."I reassured my mother, telling her to eat well.Justine tried to follow me, but Wayne gently held her hand.His voice was soft. "I know you're reluctant, but come back soon. I'll be waiting."He seemed so composed and generous—nothing like me, who used to throw tantrums and cause scenes.No wonder Justine preferred him.She jogged outside.The sun
