He didn’t ask why I hadn’t called him,
sk why I hadn’t called hin
He knew very well how many times I had called him that night.
Unfortunately, no one answered.
“It doesn’t matter if you lost it. The fact is, you’re not capable of being a mother.”
Milo Ouinn walked to his study and skillfully closed the door.
In seven years of marriage, there had been countless arguments,
I was always the first to back down.
However, this time, Milo Quinn never heard the sound of a pleading knock on his door.
Half an hour later, he opened the door and searched the entire house, but couldn’t find me anywhere..
Milo Quinn’s first love.
No one would have imagined that a well–mannered, handsome rich boy would fall in love with a rebellious, party–loving girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
Our first meeting wasn’t pleasant. In a stinking alley, the honor student was being threatened by some thugs.
I happened to be passing by when someone whistled at me.
So I rode my bike into the crowd, inadvertently solving a life crisis for the introverted rich kid while teaching the thugs a lesson.
name around.
From then on, Milo Quinn kept following me
He would follow me after school, and I couldn’t get rid of him no matter what.
He sent me roses, and I coldly threw them into the toilet to soak, then tossed them back onto his desk.
He personally made me an extremely expensive lunch, and I gave it to a beggar on the street.
My girlfriends teased me about having a rich and enthusiastic puppy
following me around.
Everyone could see that he and I were from different worlds.
But it was this person who, when I couldn’t go to school because my alcoholic father had beaten me, forcibly barged in and carried me to the hospital.
While the doctor was stitching me up, he stood with his back to me, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably as he kept wiping his face.
The doctor asked him, bemused, why he was crying when he wasn’t the injured one.
He said he didn’t know why, but his chest hurt terribly.
He even asked the doctor, foolishly, if he needed an ECG.
In the hospital room, Milo Quinn clumsily peeled some fruit.
“I don’t want to feel this way anymore, Aria. Please don’t get hurt again.”
Late the ice cream he bought and mumbled okay, then glared at him:
“So will you be my boyfriend?”
For the whole day, we both blushed and couldn’t speak.
I told Milo Quinn a secret.
Every time my dad got drunk and beat my mom half to death, a wilted rose would appear in our house the next day as an apology.
So if one day he wanted to break up with me, there was no need to say it out loud.
Just give me a rose.
“Silly girl, we’ll be together forever?
The 10Leser–old boy banned no taktike not allowicama İzeny. any more foolish things.
To escape my father’s unreasonable behavior, Mila Quinn took me abroad to study
To force us to break up, his father cut off all his financial support.
At that time, besides going to school, we had to work two part–time jobs each day.
Those days were so difficult and busy, but Milo and I couldn’t help teasing each other even while brushing our teeth.
In our tiny apartment, we laughed and bickered, our eyes full of nothing but each other.
If only we could have spent the rest of our lives like that…
“Miss Lee? Are you alright?”
The doctor’s words pulled me back to reality.
Today was the third day since I had moved out of the mansion, and my old insomnia problem had worsened again.
I took the prescription the doctor wrote and ran into Jennie while picking up my medication.
“Mrs. Quinn, why did you come to the hospital alone?”
Jennie blinked innocently, and seeing that I didn’t respond, she looked at me with sympathetic eyes:
“I heard from Milo that you lost the baby… Don’t be sad, you’re still so young, you’ll definitely have another chance.”
y, there wo
won’t be another chance”
“Don’t worry,
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Milo walking over with a dark expression.
I noticed he was tightly gripping an inhaler, though I didn’t know why he was angry.
Jennie coyly told me that she had slightly sprained her ankle when going downstairs because she wasn’t paying attention.
It was such a minor injury that she didn’t need to see a doctor, but Milo had insisted on bringing her, causing her to miss work.
Seeing the medication hag in my hand, Milo couldn’t help but ask:
“Are you feeling unwell?”
ing that I was ignoring him and about to leave, he actually snatched my medication away.
Seeing
“When did the insomnia start?”
“Aria Lee, I’m talking to you. How long are you going to keep this up?”
Milo Quinn thought I had left home out of anger, as a ploy to get his attention.
So until now, he had never tried to find out where I was living or what I had been doing these past few days.
He unconsciously raised his voice, causing people around to stop and stare at him.
A flash of weariness crossed my eyes as I snatched back the medication from his hand and said softly:
“I’m not acting up”
