Chapter 6
He posted a photo of Noah and me.
Then, he made a phone call to me.
The wind howled on the other end of the phone.
“Did you pack up and go home just because of that man?”
“Just because he had money. Donna, why are you so despicable!”
“I knew you were upset, but if you come back now, I can also give you a wedding.”
I looked up and saw the moon outside the window.
Silver–white, it looked cold.
“Yes, it’s because he had money, a hundred times better than you.”
Salvador’s breathing was loud as if he was restraining the wild beast within him.
His tone was sharp.
“Heh, does he still not know? I slept with you for seven years, and you have three of my children. If he knew about this, would he still want you?”
“Donna, you could only be mine!”
My chest ached and my eyes felt hot.
For a long time, I couldn’t say a word.
And Salvador seemed to have sensed something too.
The tone softens down.
“Donna, was our relationship of so many years all fake?”
He seemed to have something else to say.
But a girl’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Salvador, the switch of the bathtub was broken, come in and take a look…”
I couldn’t help but laugh and hung up the phone.
And then the account was completely deactivated.
The cheeks were cool, and when touched, the hands were full of tears.
Chapter 6
1/4
I approached Salvador because of a promise.
But if I had a chance to do it again, I would not agree.
Salvador’s mother used to be my neighbor.
At that time, I had just escaped and was not yet accustomed to life outside.
Salvador’s mother treated me well and sometimes taught me life experiences.
It was because of her that I met Salvador.
At that time, Salvador was eighteen years old.
Very rebellious, did not like to read.
My relationship with him was not close.
Until Salvador’s mother became seriously ill.
She knew that her life was coming to an end.
On my deathbed, I pleaded with them to spare some time to visit Salvador whenever they were free.
I agreed.
I entered Salvador’s life and touched that rebellious teenager.
And then, I was deeply immersed for nine years.
I felt that I had exceeded the “task” already.
“Donna, what are you thinking? You should have gone out.”
Mom gently tapped my shoulder.
Because of my return and the marriage with the Patton family, my father hosted a banquet.
The dazzling crystal chandelier dazzled me, making it difficult for me to see the expressions of the people below.
Goblets clinked and crossed, while camera flashes kept on flickering.
I turned to the side to hide, but Noah blocked me before I could.
He turned back and smiled at me.
Noah seemed like a decent person.
If it had been him that I had met at the beginning, maybe things would have been different.

2/4
There were too many strangers, so I didn’t dare to drink much at the party.
I could only pretend to be drunk and hide outside to get some fresh air.
The thin clouds in the night sky have dispersed, revealing a cold moon and a few stars.
By the moonlight, I only saw someone walking towards me.
It was Salvador.
He seemed to have lost some weight.
Elisa’s gown shimmered as she clung to his arm.
“Come back with me,” Salvador’s tone was noncommittal.
