Unbeknownst to Eliza, Sean noticed the bandages on her hand, and he frowned. Something in him sensed something was off. He was just about to ask when Yvette began talking about her father again, so he reluctantly pulled his attention back to her.
Still, he secretly planned to take Eliza to dinner later and ask about her situation. He’d even agree to meet her parents. Knowing her, she always softened eventually and never stayed angry long.
The whole afternoon, he felt strangely excited. He even left work early to buy a bouquet of pretty flowers.
Right before the end of the workday, he parked his car at the construction site gate to wait for Eliza.
Soon, the building lights went out, but for a long time, no one came out.
Finally, a few figures walked through the doors. But when he looked carefully, he realized it wasn’t just her—two men were walking beside her.
He frowned and nearly got out of the car to ask what was going on. But reason held him back. No one could know about their relationship—not yet.
After struggling with himself for a long moment, he finally sent a message.
[I’m in the car across the street. I booked dinner for us. We need to talk.]
[About us.]
Eliza's POV
But the time Sean's message came in, I was already checking into the airport, escorted by the security team I had hired.
When I read the words “about us,” I couldn’t help but laugh.
I was about to respond when the boarding announcement echoed overhead.
Forget it. Everything between us ended here.
While running toward the gate, I just sent him one last message.
[I hope you find someone good soon. Goodbye.]
Then I deleted his number and blocked him. And as I stepped onto the jet bridge, I pulled out my SIM card for this city and threw it away.
Seven years of chasing love stopped right there.
Sean, from this moment on, you and I have nothing left to do with each other.
