Chapter 9
I paused for a moment, glanced at the light inside and nodded with a smile. “He’s been very good to me
More than just good.
Ron gave me all his love and care.
Although he set the trap, he gave me a complete family.
“That’s good.”
Nolthen looked a little dazed upon hearing this.
He lowered his gaze, hiding the desolation in his eyes.
I slowly turned around, my figure gradually disappearing into the night.
I took Timmy home.

brought Timmy back home.
immediately saw the man standing in front of the French window in the living room, cigarette
outts scattered around his feet.
His expression was dark and unclear and no one knew how long he had been standing here.
‘You’re littering again.”
whispered a complaint and walked over to open the window for some fresh air.
As I passed him, I could smell the fumes from cooking oil on him. I instinctively looked at the Food on the table and suddenly remembered about him cooking today.
Did he wait for me the whole day?
quickly took out my phone.
Too bad, I found my phone had run out of battery and automatically shut down.
sneaked a glance at him, feeling guilty.
Ron, I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you.”
Not knowing what to say to ease the tense atmosphere between us.
But to my surprise, he took a step ahead of me and reached out to embrace me.
Honey, please don’t ignore me,” he spoke slowly, with clear and measured words.
He was afraid of saying the wrong thing, carefully considering each word.
Looking at the cold, arrogant man in the business world, now appearing humble and cautious in ‘ront of me, I hugged him back and whispered in his ear, “I have nothing to do with Nolthen. I just made it clear to him.”
‘Really? You’re not mad at me anymore?”
His eyes lit up instantly and an unexpected sense of excitement washed over him.
I leaned on his shoulder, smiling, as if happiness was hidden in this joyful laughter.
I never saw my ex again for a while afterwards.
However, Kaitlyn suddenly came to see me.
In the coffee shop, she knelt in front of me with red eyes, but a hint of calculation lingered in her
eyes.
“Calista, it’s my fault, my ignorance caused the death of your brother. It has nothing to do with Nolthen. Please go and see him.”
“After the bankruptcy of the Eaton Corporation, his parents were so angry that they were hospitalized. They passed away a few days ago. Now he is the only one left in the Eatons.”
“He’s seriously ill. He’s locked himself up at home all day, drinking and refusing to see anyone. If he keeps this up, he’ll die.”
I froze for a moment, then unnoticeably distanced myself from her.
I raised my hand and slapped her hard.
“That slap was for the lost child, Kaitlyn. You owe my brother your life and even if you die a hundred times, you can’t make up for it.”
“Why did his company go bankrupt? Don’t you have any idea? He ruined his company for why should I pity him?”
‘I know ….”
She bit her lip, hiding the hatred in her eyes.
I turned and left, unwilling to pay any more attention to her.
Unexpectedly, as I left the café, I saw Nolthen standing at the door.
He had clearly overheard the conversation.
you, so
He seemed to have become much haggard and thin that only his skeleton remained, as if he could collapse at the slightest gust of wind.
He forced a smile, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Calista, you’re right. I deserved it.”
After that, he turned dejectedly, his back gradually disappearing around the corner.
Since then, I had never seen him again.
