Jeffrey likely saw that I was no longer outside the door after he said that.
I used to kneel at the door to appease this family, even if they intended to push me out. To get their sympathies and maintain their acceptance of me. But I was
exhausted and did not want to waste time with anyone. I had to go after my dream
now.
Marco led me to an apartment after dinner. He claimed he got it for me so that I could work with confidence in the future. I thanked him and headed upstairs since I was extremely grateful.
I focused all of my thoughts on my job during the next few days. I was either working or talking to Marco about work- related issues. I was able to momentarily ignore the agony because of my hectic schedule and life started to become exciting and satisfying. Because the

apartment was too huge, I raised a cat and a dog and walked them every day after work to relieve my loneliness.
It was a simple, enjoyable life.
Jeffrey contacted me many times throughout this time, but I didn’t pick up, so he continued to text me.
“Madeline, you are really something! You dare not pick up my phone, huh? I believed we could think about getting married again if you were obedient. Now it seems that it is no longer needed. If you keep acting just like this, don’t ask me to reconcile again!”
Looking at his message, I couldn’t help but sneer. I didn’t expect that in his eyes, I was that lowly.
However, in addition to Jeffrey, Hilton also started to harass me. He knew that his previous number was blocked by me, so he changed his number. When he called for the first time, I thought it was a customer’s call and answered it.

“Madeline, the doctor sent me your

physical examination report. It turns out that you really have asthma. I thought you were pretending before…”
When the asthma attack occurred that day, the doctor asked me to fill in the emergency contact. I put Hilton’s name on it. It was not surprising that the examination report was sent to him.
I nodded calmly, “Oh, then I’ll hang up first.”
Hearing that I was going to hang up, Hilton was a little anxious and quickly added, “I called you today just to say sorry. I should have stopped Jeffrey at that time. After we left that day, did your asthma attack again? Did you feel very uncomfortable or something?”
I didn’t know the meaning of Hilton’s words to me, I just felt very annoyed, “This has nothing to do with you. Bye.”
I hung up the phone and blocked this

ever again.
That night, Jeffrey got the news from somewhere and sent me several messages in a row.
“You have asthma, so it’s real? Why didn’t you tell me? I thought you just wanted to steal everyone’s attention.”
I laughed. At that time, I almost threw the report in his face. How could I not have said it any better?
Without getting a response, Jeffrey sent another message.
“I blamed you entirely that day. Also, what I said that day was just angry words. I said that because I couldn’t stand you and
Daisie being jealous. Actually, I still like you…”

Angry words?
In fact, even if he didn’t say those words that day, I knew that he loved Daisie and
