"No," I refused flatly. "That apartment is mine now. She agreed to give it to me. According to the law, no one can take them."There was a long silence on the other end of the line."Jared, how could you be so heartless?" Jenny's tone changed, becoming icy. "You were married to Christine, and now, you're just gonna watch her end up on the streets?"What I said was the truth. "It was her own decision to give up everything. I never asked her to. Besides, doesn't she still have Scott? Isn't Scott going to be a father? She can go live with Scott."Jenny suddenly cursed. "Scott? That kept man! Now that he knows Christine has no money, his attitude has changed. The other day when I went to see Christine, I happened to run into him. The way he talked to me was as if I owed him a fortune. He also said that he might not really want this baby, and he would have to wait and see how Christine behaves."She became more and more agitated. "What does he mean by 'seeing how she behaves'?

Felix grunted. "By the way, I've found you a house. It’s in a great neighborhood, with a private 430-square-foot yard. Fully renovated and move-in ready.

The yard was paved with anti-corrosion wood flooring, with an osmanthus tree planted in the corner, and there was also a small flower bed beside it, with some flowers that I could not name."This is the one," I said.Felix and the real estate agent looked at me at the same time."You don't wanna take a look

"Perhaps it's because I now truly understand how important money is. Before, I didn't have a sense of urgency because Christine was there to support me. Now that it's just me, I have to be responsible for myself." I sat next to Felix and spoke seriously.Felix looked at me with complex emotions in his eyes. "Jared, you've become so mature.""It might be because of pressure." I chuckled. "People grow up. Some people become adults at 18, while others don't grow up until 30. I guess I'm the latter.""But at least you've grown up." Felix patted my shoulder. "Much better than those who will never grow up."On the first night of moving into the new house, I had trouble sleeping.The big house I used to live in was quiet too, but it was a kind of empty, nerve-racking quiet. This small house's silence was reassuring and comfortable. It felt like being wrapped in something, very safe.I lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
