Ellie once again locked the iron gates of her heart tightly.
Simon had needed her even when he wasn't sincere. He might still have something to gain. Or he might pretend to agree to everything like now, but turn his back at the slightest mistake as if nothing had happened.
That was the kind of person Ellie thought Simon was. Someone who made her shrink back with all sorts of uncertainties.
For a moment, a surge of resentment welled up inside her.
"Take me there."
"Huh? Oh! Sure! When do you want to go?"
"Now. Right now."
Simon quickly nodded and guided Ellie to the parking lot. Somehow disgusted by Simon's excited appearance, Ellie walked with her eyes fixed on the ground.
From the moment things suddenly went wrong until now when Mindy had an emergency.
No matter how she looked at it, it was a persistent ill-fated relationship.
