"Does that mean he's going back to Z City?"
Scarlett Yates felt a sudden joy in her heart, but dared not show it too obviously, so she could only secretly smile.
Great.
She hoped he would be constantly entangled in business, so busy he wouldn't have time to come back.
She didn't want her peaceful life to be disrupted again.
She had decided to forget him, even leaving the city she had lived in for over twenty years, just to have a new beginning, a new life where she could see a beautiful future.
She didn't like things that were too complicated.
During the time she was with him, her troubles far outweighed her happiness. Living under constant scrutiny, where even small actions were subject to gossip, was not the life she wanted.
If it weren't for her overwhelming affection for him at the time, she wouldn't have had the courage to face such a life.
Because she liked him, she was willing to force herself to accept a life she didn't like.
