But the prerequisite was that I had to leave this small county and never had any contact with her again.
My 25th birthday was a turning point in my life!
After tonight, I would leave here and go to a strange city to start my new life.
When I was drinking alone at the food stall, my cell phone rang several times. They were all calls from Elena, but I hung up all of them.
If it was in the past, I would answer Elena's call as soon as possible, for fear that she would be angry if I answered it too late.
But now, I felt that I had lived a very humble life.
It was past ten o'clock at night when I returned to my rented house drunk.
The lights in the living room were on. Elena was sitting on the sofa, looking at me coldly.
She was very angry.
"Where have you been?
"Didn't I tell you before that you have to go home before nine o'clock at night? Are you ignoring my request now?
"Owen and I came back after sending Poe to the pet hospital. We wanted to celebrate your birthday with you and eat cake in the evening, but you went out to drink and didn't even answer my calls..."
She scolded me harshly, just like before.
