Chapter 1451
The last time, Anthony shouted at her, telling her not to be so lowly anymore.
She was holding another woman’s clothes, slowly squatting down by the bed.
She remembered that she didn’t cry at that moment, she just asked him, “Do you really not love me
anymore?”
When she got the answer, she finally woke up, realizing that once someone’s heart changes, they can’t
truly come back…
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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow did she manage to get through it?
Through countless fantasies, self-redemption, and the companionship of her parents…
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 away…
She knew then that she had completely moved on.
Looking at the lonely figure in the distance, she softly said, “Anthony, make it clear. This way, you can
let go, and I can find peace.”
He had been chasing after her, just wanting to explain what happened back then. After all, it’s 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?

the silhouettes projected on the ground by the streetlights.
“Do you remember when you asked me before why someone as young as me would wander among

“Yeah, I remember.”
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.
“My stepmother made me go.”
Because she was a stepmother, she was afraid he would

his father would give the inheritance to Johnny.
“Didn’t you resist?”
Anthony turned back and smiled at Edith.
“I had no power to resist when I was young.”
Seeing Anthony’s carefree smile, Edith didn’t say anything and quietly waited for him to continue.
“During the two years after graduation, I begged your mother on my knees, hoping she wouldn’t
despise my status.”
Edith was stunned, not expecting it was her mother who forced Anthony to break up with her.
“But at that time, your mother still looked down on me.”
