I took a deep breath and turned around. "I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."
"Come back," he said.
Seeing me standing still, Connor came over and pulled me onto the bed.
He said, "I won't do anything to you. What are you afraid of?"
"I don't want to hurt my wound," I explained.
He finally relaxed a bit and hugged me from behind.
"Sleep," he muttered.
I bit my lip, trying not to think about the fact that he had held Katie like this.
Only when he fell into a deep sleep did I crawl out of his embrace and let out a sigh of relief.
I spent the entire day wrapping up my work and handing it over to my successor.
All the items on my desk were given to the next manager.
As I left the company, I announced in the lobby that I would treat everyone to dinner that evening.
My colleagues were overjoyed and wished me and Connor a happy future together.
Unfortunately, that might be a regret now.
Upon returning home, I packed my belongings.
The unknown cosmetics Connor had bought for me were all swept into the trash bin.
I searched through all the photo albums but only found two pictures of us together.
With a scoff, I burned them.
