Teresa Gardner, my girlfriend, is thrilled when I hand over the design drafts I spent so long working on to Quentin Solomon, her first love. She is so happy that she agrees to travel to Jarevon with me. Yet the moment we reach the airport, Quentin calls her. "I got into an accident. I really want to see you right now. Please don't leave with him, Teresa!" Teresa, who is usually so level-headed, panics and desperately pleads with me to let her go see Quentin. In the end, even as our friends keep sending us well wishes for our trip to Jarevon in the group chat, I can only smile as I release Teresa's hand and let her go to Quentin. Teresa's eyes well up with tears the moment she sees how thoughtful and understanding I am, as always. "I swear this will be the last time. I'll come back and marry you once I've checked on Quentin's condition, Aaron." I remind myself it's the 96th time I've done this for Teresa. I muse that perhaps I just have to hold on a little longer. If fulfilling these last three requests doesn't fix things between us, I'll walk away completely—Teresa and I will go our separate ways and never cross paths again.

Three Promises Left Before I Walk Away Chapter 11
Aaron's and Quentin's voices rang out from the voice recorder. "What do you mean by that?""You're the one who broke your promise first, so today I'm going to teach you a lesson, Aaron.""Teresa won't let you off the hook for this!""Do you actually think she'll believe you?"Teresa remembered this was recorded the day Aaron got hurt. Why would Quentin say something like that? Had she misheard? She couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise as she continued listening. She could never mistake this voice—it was definitely Quentin."Where should I begin? How about this hand of yours—the one you use to draw your designs?""How long do you think you can keep your scheme under wraps? You won't get off the hook so easily if anything happens to me, Quentin!""No one's ever going to find out. Who gives a damn about a mere plagiarist anyway? Teresa won't even give you the time of day once you're crippled, Aaron!"Hold him down and keep hitting him—don't stop!"Hadn't Quentin sai

On several occasions, Aaron had looked at Teresa with intense longing and expectation. She, however, had never paid it any attention. These gifts were all the things she had left of him at this moment.She noticed a line of small, delicate handwriting on the bottom of the ring box Aaron had left her. She soon realized that every gift box had the same wish written on the bottom.Teresa looked at the same wish repeated on every gift, feeling a pang in her chest. Aaron had given her so many gifts and asked for nothing but the chance to stay with her forever. On the other hand, she had hurt him repeatedly for Quentin's sake. She had gone back on their promise to travel to Jarevon together, taken his design drafts, and forced him to ghostwrite for Quentin.She felt an agonizing pain in her chest whenever she remembered Aaron covered in blood and lying in the dirt, waiting for her for who knows how long. She never realized just how much her coldness had hurt him. She was consumed by

Teresa had brushed it off as a joke back then and even teased Aaron with a smile, "You're being so secretive, huh? You've got me really curious now! I really want to know what you prepared for me now, Aaron!"Yet in that moment, everything had become a thing of the past, with only the weighty sketchbook left behind. Teresa finally understood how she really felt, but it was already too late. Aaron had already vanished from her life before he could ever reveal his secret.She still had no idea what the numbers meant, though. She stood by the desk and pondered for a long time until the cleaner's voice suddenly came from the doorway. "I can't get one of the cabinets to open, Ms. Gardner."It was a cabinet located in the storage room, a place packed with clutter year-round that nobody usually went into.Teresa got up to take a look and found a new lock on the cabinet, which was impossible to open without the passcode. She called the best locksmith, but cracking it would still take t

The HR manager replied, "He was here just five minutes ago. He was wearing a black coat and a black hat when he came by to handle Aaron's resignation."Teresa ran out without another word, ignoring the HR manager's surprised look. She had just stepped out of the company when she spotted a young man in black, wearing a black hat and covering himself completely. She chased him down three blocks before finally stopping him at the entrance to an alley. "Where exactly is Aaron? You'd better not make me ask you a second time."Harrison finally turned around and revealed himself. Teresa's attitude clearly angered him as he snapped, "Aaron has already let go of you! You'll never be able to find him again, Teresa!"With that, he angrily shook off her hand and strode away.Teresa didn't chase after him this time. She recalled what Aaron had said to her that day. "Teresa, this is the last time. I think it's time for me to let go."She had assumed he was just speaking out of anger, never
