But she quickly regained her previous calmness.
w are y you here?” she asked.
“Why
Tyler’s tone was aggrieved: “I heard you were sick this morning, so I was a bit worried. I made some porridge and came over, wanting to take care of you.”
“But it seems like you don’t need me now.”
As he spoke, he hugged the thermos in his arms tightly.
He looked like he had suffered a huge blow.
Rosalie’s expression was remorseful. She seemed to want to say something, but Tyler interrupted her: “Rosalie, I understand. You and Felix are a couple, it’s natural for you to be good to him.”“”
o this.
could have just told me directly. You didn’t need to hide it from me like
wo go ahead, I’ll leave first
With that, he deliberately glanced at the teddy bear thrown in the back seat, lowered his head, and turned to leave.
Seeing him being so understanding, Rosalie felt even more quilty. She hurriedly went forward to stop him.
“We broke up last night. He’s moving out today, so I’m just giving him a ride.”
After saying this, I clearly saw a flash of joy in Tyler’s eyes.
He looked over at me,
hise
s eyes smug.
But the words he spoke were full of innocence.
ry with me?
“You broke up? Why? Is Felix still angry
with you. We brok
Rosalie comforted him like she was soothing a child. “It has nothing to do with you. We broke up amicably
Tyler looked at me: “Then let me drive Felix Rosalie, you don’t look well. You should go back and rest
Rosalie’s face showed hesitation as she glanced at me.
I knew what she was thinking. I took out my suitcase.
“No need, you two go ahead. I don’t need a ride.”
With that, I turned and left with my luggage.
Rosalle didn’t say anything.
I remained calm Inside.
Perhaps because I had long been clear that between me and Tyler, she would definitely choose Tyler.
The car wasn’t far away. I put the luggage in the trunk and sat in the driver’s seat.
This car was the one my friend had given me yesterday. After drinking last night, I had hired a driver to bring it back, so I wasn’t very familiar with some of its functions yet.
After figuring it out, I drove away.

But as my gaze passed over the rearview mirror, I noticed something flash in Tyler’s eyes as he looked at me.
When I looked back, everything seemed normal again.
I didn’t pay attention to it. After settling into my new place, I focused on my career.
My friend’s company had a good foundation, but lacked better technology for breakthroughs. After I joined, I directly led the technology department to improve existing technology
A week later, the technology had greatly improved, and when the project was released, it was much better than before.
I pressed on with the momentum, not relaxing at all. Even my colleagues seemed to be inspired, working overtime until 3 or 4 AM every day.
Hard work pays off.
When the second project was launched, it went viral online, attracting a large number of fans,
The previously unknown small company quickly became well–known, and even those who had previously rejected cooperation now came to my friend and me, wanting to apply for collaboration
My phone kept ringing non–stop for a short period.
One day, I had just hung up a call when another one case in
I answered it without thinking.
As soon as I connected, I heard Rosalie’s voice on the other end.
Telix, the water pipe at my house is broken, Can you come over and fix it for me?” she asked,
By now, Rosalie and I had been broken up for nearly half a year. Hearing her voice felt almost surreal
Busy with work, I had rarely paid attention to her anymore. Lonly knew that her company hadn’t gone public according to the original schedule and seemed to have run into some trouble
or the specifics, I wasn’t too clear.
As for
“Why don’t you ask Tyler or call a plumber?” I replied flatly.
I didn’t understand why she would contact me.
In the past, whenever something went wrong at home, no matter how busy I was, I would rush back to fix it. But now we had broken up, it wasn’t appropriate for her to reach out to me.
After a few seconds of silence, Rosalie finally spoke.
“I fired Tyler. I have no contact with him anymore.”
I was a bit surprised.
Before I could ask, she continued, her voice choked up, “Tve tried calling plumbers, but it’s too late.”
“Felix, I know it’s too late, but I don’t know who else to turn to. I really have no other options.”
“If you don’t help me, I might really…
She sobbed a couple of times.
Her tone was desperate.
I could hear the piercing wind through the phone.
Ikeenly sensed something was wrong.
11:06 AM
“Where ar
are you now?” Lasked
Rosalie hesitated for a long while before saying, “The rooftop.””
I couldn’t help but think of before, when the company had just been established and suffered heavy losses due to a decision–making problem. At that time, Rosalie was on the verge of a mental breakdown and climbed onto the windowsill in the middle of the night after writing a suicide
note.
Fortunately, I discovered it in time, or it would have been unthinkable.
I thought she was rational enough, but I didn’t expect her to do such a foolish thing again.
If I didn’t know, I naturally wouldn’t have contacted her, but now that I knew she might be in danger, I couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
After thinking for a moment, I sighed, “Wait for me.”
I quickly changed clothes and drove back to this familiar place.
soon as I opened the door, I saw Rosalie’s red, tear–stained eyes.
The water pipe inside had burst, and water covered the floor.
I took of y shoes and went in, finding that it was just a loose connection.
I tightened it with a few turns of a wrench and it was quickly fixed
“The waterproofing in this complex is quite good. You don’t need to worry about it leaking to the floor below. Just clean up the and it’ll be fine, I advised
After giving these instructions, I stood up, ready to leave.
But after just a couple of steps, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around my waist.
Rosalie was sobbing behind me.
“Felix, you still care about me, don’t you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come
Tm sorry, I was wrong before. I know I made a mistake now. Can we go back to how we were before?”
I was stunned for a moment.
