Chapter 7
“If she can’t sleep, then let her find a class. Didn’t she say she was poor and couldn’t afford food? A job would solve both her food and lodging problems at once,” Winona replied coldly.
“Winona! How can you say something like that?” Felix turned around angrily.
The items in his hands, without a doubt, belonged to Yumiko.
He was trying to use this to force her to go to the hospital and apologize, knowing full well that she hated making him angry.
In the past, whenever he got upset, she would be the first to chase after him and comfort him. She would do anything for him.
But this time, he shouldn’t use their old habits to push her to apologize to another woman.
“Not going to chase after him?” The seller hesitated, looking at her.
“No need. Just wait for the agent to finalize the contract,” Winona smiled and dismissed the seller’s
concerns.
In the afternoon, the contract for the sale was signed, and the buyer agreed to give her three more days to move out. The house was officially sold.
“We’re not in a hurry. Waiting another half month is fine,” the buyer said, trying to give her more
time.
Winona shook her head. “Three days is enough. I need to go back and get married.”
The buyer didn’t insist any longer.
With the house sold and most of her belongings packed, Winona took the gifts she had prepared for
her uncle and went to his house.
Aunt knew she was coming, so she prepared a full table of dishes.
The family was harmonious, and after dinner, Winona spoke about the matters she needed to address with the company after leaving. She felt at ease handing everything over to her uncle.
“Wino, you’re being so decisive in your arrangements, does it really mean you have no attachment sit to B city?” Aunt couldn’t help but ask.

“There’s nothing left. My dreams have been realized, and it’s time to go back and take over the family business.” Winona smiled.
“But these two boys have been chasing you for so many years, how can you just let go like that?” Aunt was still worried.
“Aunt, they have someone new now. I’m just the old one who should step aside,” Winona said, smiling in a very free–spirited way.
The events of these past few days had helped her come to a clear understanding.
Although she hadn’t spent much time with Luke, he was the person her grandfather had chosen for her. His background and abilities were top–notch.
Marry first, love later–that was something she, Winona, could accept.
Uncle motioned for Aunt to stop asking, and for the rest of the night, she stayed at her uncle’s place, chatting.
During that time, her phone was completely silent. No messages came through.
Yes, both of them were angry, so they no longer shared every little thing with her as they had before.
Come to think of it, ever since Yumiko came into the picture, their conversations had grown quieter.
People’s desire to share doesn’t just suddenly disappear. It’s just that when they share more with someone else, naturally, there’s less left to talk about with her.
“Have you bought the tickets? Do you need me to help?” Uncle interrupted Winona’s thoughts.
“I’ve bought them. I’m leaving at dawn the day after tomorrow.”
“I’ve packed everything, sold the house, and now all that’s left is to say goodbye to friends here,” Winona said with a smile, telling her uncle all the details.
“Good,” Uncle nodded, saying no more.
For the next two days, both Felix and Jacob didn’t come home.
. But from their social media, it was clear that they were enjoying themselves.
They posted photos of themselves at a murder mystery game, an escape room, and an amusement park–every place with group photos of the three of them.

‘They shared their beautiful pictures and their moods.
One post had the caption: “Turns out, we can be this handsome too.”
Winona silently liked the post.
She hadn’t been good at taking photos in the past, but Felix and Jacob still enjoyed having their pictures taken by her.
They’d said, “It doesn’t matter if you’re not good at it. We just like the photos you take for us.”
“Take more! I don’t believe there’s not a good shot among them.”
he had gone from taking a lot of useless shots to gradually becoming nearly as skilled as a photographer.
Winona placed the box she had packed at her neighbor’s door and told the property management not to clean it up or take it away.
She closed the door, grabbed her black suitcase, and took a taxi to the airport. It was time to say goodbye to the city she had lived in for the past four years.
On the way to the airport, a notification popped up on her phone.
She opened it to find a tag from Yumiko in her posts.
