“So, you can’t even afford a meal, almost copsing on the street, yet you gave all your money to them!”


    Jamie deliberately lowered his voice, and I could sense care in his reproachful words.


    The car came to a stop on the side of the road, and Jamie handed me the 100, 000 yuan he had just received.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    “This was your money. I shouldn’t interfere, but I think you must return it back.”


    “If you want to escape from your current life, you need to learn to love yourself!”


    I looked at him, tears streaming down my face. “Who are you to lecture me? Who are you to me?” My face turned red, and something I had carefully maintained over the years seems to have been pierced by a needle.


    My body had been touched by the dirty hands of many men, and I felt nothing, but at this moment, I felt a bruise on my self-esteem.


    The man in front of me, mature and intelligent, seemed like apletely different person from the young delivery boy I had seen before.


    We weren’t really familiar, but he seemed to understand me very well.


    Without waiting for my questions, Jamie told me a lot of things that night in the parked car by the roadside.


    The first time he saw me rushing towards him like a frightened little rabbit, he fell in love with me at that moment.


    I didn’t even nce at him and hurriedly ran away.


    Out of curiosity and an inexplicable attraction, he wanted to get to know me, understand me.


    He traced where I worked and knew that I ordered takeout almost every night.


    He applied for delivery orders specifically for the route I took, just to let me see him more often.


    He noticed that I always threw away the flowers from the middle-aged man who drove me home but left behind the red roses.


    He started pre-ordering roses for me, sending them every three days.


    He thought I was a money-hungry woman until that night when I was about to faint from hunger.


    “I got close to Kelly just to get closer to you. I thought you only liked rich men, but I’m just a poor guy.”


    “Ick confidence.”


    “Only today did I realize that the family you sacrificed for is the abyss of your downfall.”


    Listening to Jamie’s candid words, I let down my guard.


    I told him about my father’s incident when I was a child.


    My father lost his life because of a phone call from me.


    He said it wasn’t my fault, and I shouldn’t carry burdens that shouldn’t be mine to bear.


    Jamie suggested I resign, and if I wanted, he would take me back to his hometown, where there was a plot ofnd he had once taken care of for his grandmother.


    He said we could build a home there, and he would nt a whole area of roses that I loved at the entrance.


    “Will I be happy?” I asked.


    “Yes.”
