I love being alone

Chapter 2

I watched them leave and fell, unable to resist the pain from my foot.

I wasn't thinking about whether Henny would be kind, but realised he didn't love me.

I pushed away the photos. "I'm not responsible."

The man opposite was surprised. "Aren't you afraid of not being able to sit in Mrs. Henny's position?"

I was calm.

The other servants were worried.

"Madam, this concerns the Jiang family's reputation. You can't act on impulse."

"Madam, if Henny comes back and knows you didn't handle it, he'll blame you."

I raised my hand again.

"I don't care."

"Show them out."

I went back to bed.

Martha brought hot water, wanting to speak.

I understood and smiled.

"I'm not sad."

"I just want to be alone."

I always handled everything for him with a glimmer of hope.

In three years, did he really not have any heart for me?

I was a joke in my own emotional life.

If he had a heart, how could he let me be harassed by Salinla's fans?

If he had a heart, how could he leave me alone to deal with the accident scene?

I got up, took the divorce agreement from the cloakroom.

The paper was three years old.

The only difference was that I still thought I could melt stone.

The moving company came to the villa the next day and packed up my belongings.

They were efficient and I watched and directed.

"Pack these ornaments too."

"Pack these plants too." The other servants were confused.

The villa door opened before I could speak.

Henny, in a black windcoat and looking tired, was surprised by what she saw.

"What's this about?"

"Sir, Madam suddenly said today that she wanted to move..."

He frowned. "Elsa, stop making trouble."

I looked at the face I'd seen for three years.

His eyebrows were cold.

I said, "I've set up the divorce, we agreed on the property three years ago, I don't want anything more." I put the divorce agreement in the file bag.

Henny's frown could kill mosquitoes.

"Elsa, this isn't a good tactic."

He thought I was using marriage to force him to compromise?

I left.

It was a sunny day.

I moved to a big house by the lake.

I couldn't sleep at night because I was new to the area.

I got up to tidy the items sent by the moving company.

I found a diary with thoughts from my teenage years.

Once, Henny and Salinla were in love.

One was aloof but willing to be tender, the other gave up their career for love.

Two people with the same pride couldn't be together.

They broke up.
