Chapter 1451 The truth The last time, Anthony shouted at her, telling her not to be so lowly anymore.
She was holding another womanâs clothes, slowly squatting down by the bed.
She remembered that she didnât cry at that moment, she just asked him, âDo you really not love me anymore?â
When she got the answer, she finally woke up, realizing that once someoneâs heart changes, they canât truly come backâ¦
After that, she locked herself up, trying to convince herself to let go while hoping he would come and see her.
Eventually, in such days, she gradually developed depression.
How did she manage to get through it?
Through countless fantasies, self-redemption, and the companionship of her parentsâ¦
That road was so long and painful, every time Edith thought back, her heart would ache.
She warned herself not to try that pain again.
Luckily, as time went by, slowly, the pain faded awayâ¦
She knew then that she had completely moved on.
Looking at the lonely figure in the distance, she softly said, âAnthony, make it clear. This way, you can let go, and I can find peace.â
He had been chasing after her, just wanting to explain what happened back then. After all, itâs hard to accept the separation when it was against their will.
By venting out this dissatisfaction, he would find peace, just like she did. Even someone who had loved so deeply was able to let go, right?
Anthonyâs steps slowed down, but he didnât turn around. Through tear-filled eyes, his gaze fixated on the silhouettes projected on the ground by the streetlights.
âDo you remember when you asked me before why someone as young as me would wander among clubs?â
âYeah, I remember.â
As a high school student, it was abnormal to spend day and night in various entertainment places.
She was curious and asked him softly many times while holding his arm, but he never told her the answer.
âMy stepmother made me go.â
Because she was a stepmother, she was afraid he would obstruct her sonâs path and take away their fatherâs love. So she forced him to become a playboy, and his father would give the inheritance to Jonny.
âDidnât you resist?â
Anthony turned back and smiled at Edith.
âI had no power to resist when I was young.â
Seeing Anthonyâs carefree smile, Edith didnât say anything and quietly waited for him to continue.
âDuring the two years after graduation, I begged your mother on my knees, hoping she wouldnât despise my status.â/
Edith was stunned, not expecting it was her mother who forced Anthony to break up with her.
âBut at that time, your mother still looked down on me.â
