He walked towards the meeting room,
casually instructing his subordinate, “Buy
some new designer bags and jewelry.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll arrange it now, and send them to
Ms. Jenny’s place.”
He stopped, rubbing his temples, “Send them
to the old Smith house.”
He assumed I could only be at the old Smith
house.
One night, a week later.
He came home to a woman in a silk
nightgown curled up on the sofa.
“Sarah, I’ve told you countless times, I’ll come
home after I’m done, you don’t have to…”
Seeing it was Jenny, his words stopped.
Stared at by him, Jenny shivered, looking both
aggrieved and pitiful, “Ethan, Mrs. Smith
hasn’t come back. I sent her many apologies,
but she ignored them. Should I move out?”
Seeing her about to cry, he frowned and
L
hugged her.
He perfunctorily kissed her forehead, telling her to take care of herself, not to overthink.
“Regardless of Sarah’s acceptance, this will be your and the baby’s home from now on.” Thirty minutes later, he leaned on the balcony
smoking.
He hadn’t smoked in a long time, but he
couldn’t resist.
He accidentally saw my number at the bottom
of his contacts.
His thumb hovered over the call button for a
long time.
After two cigarettes, instead of calling, he
sent a warning text:
[Sarah, it’s Grandfather’s 80th birthday
tomorrow. Don’t cause trouble for Jenny and
the baby.】
On his grandfather’s birthday, he and Jenny
made a grand appearance.
く
Only when his grandfather arrived did he let
go of Jenny’s hand, going to greet important
guests.
“Why isn’t Sarah here?”
He rarely defended me, “Sorry, Grandpa.
She’s been busy preparing a gift. I let her
rest, she’ll be here later.”

Two hours passed quickly.
The anniversary dinner reached the gift-
giving segment, but I still hadn’t appeared.
Suppressing my growing unease, Ethan went
to a corner, pulled out his phone, and called
- me.
[“The number you have dialed is currently
unavailable…“]
He tried again, but only got the same
mechanical voice.
く
A delivery man entered the hall.
He delivered the three gifts I’d sent.
Under curious gazes, Grandpa Smith happily
opened the first gift.
