“Instead of crying and causing trouble here, you might as well go home and think about what you’ll do when you get kicked out one day.”
He was clearly trying to make me mad, wishing I would get into a loud fight with Eulalie.
But what he didn’t understand was that I had already stopped caring.
Once morning arrived, I would leave Louisiana and leave Eulalie.
By then, someone would naturally come and deal with the child in her stomach.
I took one final look at Eulalie and spoke calmly, without feeling, “Eulalie, you will regret this.”
“Because you forgot who it was that gave you everything you have.”
Eulalie wanted to speak, but Percy stopped her.
She kept on looking, and in the end, she still didn’t come after me.
She only left behind one sentence, “Wait for me. I’ll explain everything to you tomorrow.”
There would be no tomorrow.
The moonlight spread like water, laying pale light across the ground.
Dragging my tired body, I walked alone toward the port.
During the last few hours, I paid the nanny her salary and asked her to sort out the old things that Eulalie and I once shared.
After that, I stayed by myself and waited for sunrise.
