After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9.

“Lucas, do you find it thrilling to play the role of a devoted lover?”

“When I was back home, countless times I worked overtime and waited alone for a ride home. Do you remember what you said when I asked you to pick me up?”

“You said other girls live like that too. Does being single mean they don’t deserve to live? If I’m scared, I should hire a bodyguard. You had your own things to do.”

After I finished speaking, his pupils trembled.]]

But I continued: “Now I have my own things to do too. Please leave. Don’t bother me anymore from now on.“]

I hailed a car by the roadside.

Just as I opened the car door to get in, he slipped in too.

“I admit I wasn’t a good boyfriend before. Now give me a chance to make amends, okay? I don’t want us to separate because of a misunderstanding.”

I didn’t want to waste any

waste any more time with him, so I simply closed my eyes to rest.

On the way, his phone rang repeatedly. He kept turning it off, only for it to ring again.[]

Impatiently, I angrily said: “Can you just mind your own business? Don’t appear in front of me. W

this?”

“Your true love is back home, not here!”

As I finished speaking, the car had just arrived at the company building

I immediately got out and closed the door

I didn’t leave him even a minute[]

Once in the elevator, I took out my phone and called Lucas’s team leader.]

already broken up, what’s the point of doing all

“Why can he still take wedding leave when he’s not getting married? Doesn’t the company have any work for him? Can you make him go back quickly.”

The other end hesitated for a while before explaining:

“Lucas is on annual leave. I can’t do anything…“]

I hung up the phone in frustration

For the next week, he appeared around me like a ghost.

I have to say, habit is a terrible thing.

I went from being angry at first to becoming indifferent, all in just a few days

On the seventh night, the landlord of the apartment called me

They said someone upstairs had complained about Lucas causing a disturbance. Seeing him often appear at my door, they asked if he was my friend]

Confused, I asked further, and the landlord said Lucas had set up a tent downstairs in the apartment complex. He kept the lights on all night every night

Whenever someone entered my building, he would rush up to ask for their apartment number to confirm if they were residents.]]
