In fact, it was quite nice to fish alone. Looking at the calm water, I felt a quietness that I had never felt in the past few years. I seemed to gradually enjoy the quietness.

I had an appointment with a friend to discuss something, so I didn't eat the breakfast she made and went out directly when I came out of the bathroom, seeing Anna not in the living room.

Over the years, whenever something happened to Jack, Anna would leave me behind to take care of him and then come back later to coax me. I loved her so much that I never had the heart to blame her.

But I also realized that no matter how much I loved her, she really didn't love me.

My friend and I discussed starting a business. We had been friends for many years and were also business partners. We had both built up a lot of connections over the years, so we were ready to start our own business.

Just when we were halfway through the conversation, Anna called.

"You didn't have breakfast? Are you still angry? I've explained everything to you! Can you..."

I interrupted her.

"I know you two are good friends. I'm not angry. Okay, I have something to do. I am busy now!"

There was no sound from Anna. Then I hung up the phone.
