Chapter 6

Think about what Kiley said, as well as what the old man said.
I am really not like before now.
I couldn’t be so humble for a man like this.
I went home and packed up my things, then I left.
I moved to live with my grandmother.
After my parents passed away, she became my only relative.
She was a painter when she was young, and she was still painting when I arrived.
“Emilia, you came.”
She laughed so much that her eyes squinted.
Tears uncontrollably streamed down my face as I tightly embraced her.
“What happened? Who bullied our Emilia at home?”
“I”
I couldn’t speak when I thought about what Oliver did to me.
Grandma noticed and patted my shoulder, saying, “Did you have a fight with Oliver? It’s okay, even teeth and tongues fight, let alone people. It will be fine in a few days; he will definitely come to find.
you.”
However, this time was different from a regular argument.
In the evening, I received a WhatsApp from Oliver, which was a photo of Ariel’s wrist.
There is a shallow wound on top, and it is almost healed.
Ariel has already committed suicide, and you are still thinking about picking a fight with me,
Emilia. Can’t you be less stubbor
He always blamed me like this.
I used to be strong and willful.
And Ariel did everything right..
Back then, I truly believed that I was at fault.
I tried hard to change, but now I realize that I didn’t have any problems.
I should have been passionate and carefree, living only for myself.
Why was I being mentally controlled by him?
So I sent a breakup message, and then I blocked him directly and also blocked his phone number.
I didn’t want to deal with anything now, I just wanted to live quietly in this small village for a while.
Grandma didn’t ask me much either, she just accompanied me every day to cook and draw.
But a few days later, Oliver came over.
He held my down jacket in his hand and carried many gifts, kneeling at the doorstep of my house.
“Emilia, come home with me,” he said.
I stood upstairs unwilling to go down.
He said again, “Let’s go back and get married, shall we? I’ll give you and the child a home. I was
wrong that day, I won’t mention it again in the future.”
Grandma was both surprised and delighted to hear these words.
“Child, were you pregnant?”
“Regarding…”
I didn’t know how to explain to my grandmother that I didn’t want this child.
Thinking about her final wish, I dare not say anything more.
She immediately let Oliver in and then treated him with delicious food and drinks.
Oliver put his coat on me and took out the ring he had bought for me before, then knelt in front of
- me.
Looking at me affectionately, he said, “Emilia, will you marry me? Our child needs a home,
need a husband too.”
“I would take good care of you; I would change everything that is not good.”
I saw my grandmother looking very happy beside me.
I swallowed the words I wanted to refuse and then nodded.
It seems that I can’t stay here with to think of other ways.

After having eaten, Grandma watched as Oliver and I left.
and God
Oliver was still laughing in the car and said to me, “Do you still remember how we used to love building snowmen here when we were kids?”
Yeah, back then we were innocent and carefree.
There weren’t so many complicated emotions.
“Oliver, I didn’t want to upset my grandmother just now, so that’s why I agreed to it.”
“After going back, I wouldn’t get married to you either.”
He slammed on the brakes.
“Don’t make a fuss, okay.”
“Ariel and I have already broken up, I sent her back to the south.”
I was somewhat surprised that he was willing to let go.
