Chapter 9 She immediately panicked and started admitting her mistakes, calling out apologies to my dad. Clearly she'd overestimated a housekeeper's value to her employers. She knew perfectly well that my dad's salary offer was already top-tier. People are like that-even when punished for wrongdoing, they still feel wronged. Getting into dad's car, he kept looking at me. I shrugged: "Say whatever you want to say." "Aren't you sad?" How could I not be sad? So many years of feelings gone-even an ant would be sad. "I am sad, but being sad is normal. Nobody wouldn't be sad about this kind of thing. But I'll definitely be the one who recovers faster!" I winked playfully, and dad patted my head. 'My daughter is amazing." The next time I saw Kai was at a café where he handed me the house keys. 'Sage's child really wasn't mine. If she wasn't pregnant, she'd be facing administrative detention again. Everyone knows what she's really like now." 'Stop, I don't want to hear any of this." I raised my hand irritably to cut him off. 'Are you really going to sell?" nodded. He looked at the keys: "Why don't you sell to me then? There are so many memories." said calmly: "If you offer the highest price, I'll sell to you. Don't talk to me about sentiment and memories-we don't have those things between us." He didn't expect me to be so cold and tough. Raven, I'm sorry." Stop. I've heard too many apologies-my ears are getting callused." You know what? From the first time I met Sage, when she commented in front of you that 'so you like such plain types' and you laughed in greement-I should have broken up with you then." Too bad I didn't understand at the time. I just felt vaguely uncomfortable. You two are essentially the same type of people-disrespectful, objectifying thers, selfish and self-serving." It's good that I understand now. Next time someone disrespects me, I'll throw coffee in their face." This is goodbye. Don't look for me again." He wanted to say something more, calling my name: "Can't we really see each other anymore?" [immediately threw the coffee in my right hand at his face. 'Just like that." Walking out of the café, I felt refreshed-the weather was perfect. Ending a terrible relationship turned out to feel this good.
