But he didn't know that the reason why I didn't agree to his proposal was that I wanted him to be more mature.
Before this business trip, I thought about getting married.
I would agree if he proposed again after I come back from my business trip.
However, reality was often cruel.
People like him didn't deserve to be loved at all!
I thought about it again and finally understood.
I was very capable at work.
I could help him a lot at work.
Other than his so-called love, this was probably another reason for him to do so.
I didn't reply to him.
He was anxious.
He began to call me.
I still didn't pick it up.
Even if I didn't see him in person, I could guess how anxious he was at this time.
But all of this was nothing compared to what he had done.
I didn't answer his calls or reply to his messages.
He still hadn't come back to our house.
After staying at home for two days, I went to meet the real estate agent.
The real estate agent I found this time is very reliable. The houses he showed me around were all to my liking.
After seeing several houses, I chose one to rent.
My new home was not far from the company, only a few minutes' drive.
As soon as I signed the agreement with the real estate agent, my mother suddenly called.
After answering the phone, I didn't have time to speak.
She said, "Vivi, what are you doing? Why didn't you answer Carter's call? He’s worried."
My mother's tone was full of complaints as she urged me to call back as soon as possible.
"Mom, I'm busy. I'll contact him when I'm free. Don't interfere."
"No matter how busy you are, you have to reply to him. But don't forget that your Uncle Leo is treating you to dinner this weekend. Be there on time. Don't be late."
Mr. and Mrs. Carter were very nice to me. They wanted me to be with Carter.
After knowing that we were really together, she treated me as their own daughter.
They looked forward to our marriage more than Carter did.
To put it bluntly, this treat was to urge us to get married.
But it was completely impossible for me to be with Carter.
I had to make it clear to them.
I thought about it and agreed.
Carter came back on the day I packed my luggage and was about to move.
He was stunned when he saw me.
He quickly put down his things and pounced on me.
"Vivi, you're finally back. I missed you so much."
As he approached, I smelled a faint perfume that I never used.
I furrowed my eyebrows and pushed him away.
