Dangerous Marriage, Eternal LovePart 1
Connor was on a business trip for a long time. I asked him when he would return and at first, he gave vague answers, but then he simply stopped responding. My parents quickly noticed something was wrong with me. They asked when Connor would come back.
"Very soon." I said casually. I just focused on eating my breakfast because I didn't know how to answer them.
They exchanged a glance and then my dad said, "How about you tell Connor we won't come to your house anymore?" Hearing this, I couldn't hold back my tears. I lowered my head even more, not wanting them to see.
"No parent wants to trouble their child," my dad sighed. "Tell him we won't disturb you anymore."
"It's not about you. Don't overthink it, Dad. You both enjoy your time here. I need to go to work now." I hurriedly grabbed my bag and left the house.
"I really can't get along with your parents," Connor had said to me before he left, in front of my mom and dad. Standing in the crowd on the subway, I looked at my reflection in the window. I was so close to the world, yet I felt a strong sense of alienation.
