When he arrived in New York, it was evening, which was sothing Yang Yi intentionally arranged because Petra might not be ho during the day.
Speaking of this ho, Yang Yi often disappeared for long periods without a word, so whether Petra still wanted to live in a place he once called ho was uncertain.
Yang Yi felt it was a miracle that Petra could still tolerate his on-and-off appearances, or no, it was true love.
Therefore, not seeing soone familiar in the familiar house didn’t particularly surprise Yang Yi, and he even felt a faint sense of anticipation.
Now that Aaron was dead, no one required Yang Yi to maintain his current relationship with Petra. Although it seed like passing the buck, if Petra couldn’t tolerate it any longer and chose to break up with him, wouldn’t that be the best outco?
So Yang Yi was sowhat hopeful that Petra couldn’t stand it and would decide to dump him, but at the sa ti, he felt a bit reluctant.
All in all, it was undoubtedly the mindset of a jerk, but honestly, although Yang Yi wronged Petra, it wasn’t on purpose.
Mainly, Yang Yi now felt he could protect Petra’s safety because he could communicate with both the Grey-cloaked People and the Cleaners. So now he had the ability, and Aaron’s task could be considered complete, right?
This ti, Yang Yi ca to see Petra to break up. If Petra couldn’t stand his constant disappearances and the life of more separations than togetherness, then Yang Yi wouldn’t have to propose the breakup himself. He could say goodbye to Petra with both joy and regret.
But if Petra could continue to endure it, tolerating Yang Yi’s behavior due to true love, then Yang Yi would have to announce the breakup with reluctance and regret. Yes, the feelings were still there; it’s just that they really weren’t suitable for each other, and besides, Yang Yi already had soone in his heart, so he really couldn’t manage another woman.
When Yang Yi opened the door, he secretly hoped no one would be inside, but after opening the door and finding it truly empty, he felt a sense of disappointnt.
It was imdiately apparent the house hadn’t been occupied for at least a few days.
He let out a soft sigh, closed the door behind him, and after standing at the entrance for a mont, opened the luggage he had brought with him.
Out of caution, and also out of habit, it’s better to check.
A house that hasn’t been lived in for a long ti is inherently an unsafe factor. Additionally, Petra being a key focus for the Grey-cloaked People added another elent of insecurity. Yang Yi wasn’t afraid the Grey-cloaked People wanted to kill him, but since he would be living here, if there were any bugs or hidden caras capturing sothing inappropriate, that wouldn’t be good either.
The inspection was more of a formality. Yang Yi ticulously used equipnt as the primary thod and experience as a supplentary aid to thoroughly check the house he and Petra had once lived in for quite so ti.
The result of the inspection was positive. If there was any surveillance equipnt, Yang Yi should have been able to find it, but he didn’t discover anything.
After busying himself for over an hour, Yang Yi finally could take a breath. As he sat on the sofa, hesitating whether to call Petra now or wait until tomorrow, to stay here or go to a hotel, he was startled to hear a noise at the entrance.
Yang Yi stood up from the sofa and looked towards the door. Then very quickly, it was opened, and Petra appeared at the entrance.
Petra was dragging a suitcase, and she was visibly startled to find soone inside the house, but her surprise turned to delight upon seeing it was Yang Yi.
With a guilty conscience, Yang Yi couldn’t imdiately decide whether to open his arms for a hug or stand coldly there, waiting to announce the breakup once Petra stepped inside.
But to Yang Yi’s surprise, Petra turned her head and said, "You don’t need to co in with . You can go back. See you tomorrow."
Wait, was this being cheated on?
Yang Yi’s first reaction was thinking he’d been cheated on, but fortunately, through Petra’s micro-expressions and tone, Yang Yi knew he wasn’t.
At this mont, a woman’s voice from outside said sternly, "But my responsibility is to protect you 24 hours a day."
"No, no, there’s no need for today, because my fiancé is here..."
Petra’s voice and expression radiated happiness, causing a tremor in Yang Yi’s heart. He knew tonight was ruined, and a breakup was out of the question.
In this situation, how could he even ntion breaking up?
The person outside waited for a mont, and then finally, a gentle-sounding, emotionless woman’s voice said, "Alright then, I’ll leave. But if you need to go out alone or feel you need protection, please call ."
"I won’t be going out tomorrow. When I need protection, I’ll contact you. Goodbye."
Petra smiled and waved, then closed the door and eagerly rushed towards Yang Yi.
Petra walked up to Yang Yi but stopped then raised her hand. Yang Yi instinctively thought that if she tried to slap him, should he dodge or block?
But unfortunately, as soon as Petra’s hand was raised, Yang Yi knew she just wanted to wrap her arms around his neck.
So, if Petra questions why he hasn’t appeared for such a long ti, should he seize the opportunity to suggest breaking up?
But Petra said nothing, and Yang Yi couldn’t speak either.
Alright, breaking up doesn’t need to be brought up for now, at least not at this mont.
After a brief mont, Petra and Yang Yi separated, and she let out a long breath before hurriedly saying, "My bodyguard, the female bodyguard, my dad insisted on getting a bodyguard. I didn’t let her co in or even see you because I thought you didn’t like greeting strangers."
Hmm, well, that did sound a bit unusual, so Yang Yi curiously asked, "Why are you assigned a bodyguard? Is there any danger?"
Petra’s expression slightly froze, then she sighed and said softly, "Soone on our website... died due to an accident. It looked entirely accidental, but I rember what you told . You advised not to research that amateur historian’s diary any further."
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Yes."
"I haven’t researched it anymore; I’ve given up. But... soone on our website continued to research, and he... is dead too!"
Yang Yi imdiately beca alert and asked in a deep voice, "Dead? An accident?"
"Yes, an accident."
"Was it a car accident?"
Petra bit her lip and shook her head, saying softly, "It wasn’t a car accident this ti. He died of a heart attack, and it’s a bit complicated. While crossing the street, he got into an argunt with a young man who bumped into him, and during the argunt, he fell down. He fell by himself, and soone called for ergency help. He was taken onto an ambulance, but unfortunately, after reaching the hospital, he still died. The hospital examination reported it as a heart attack, but the problem is, I knew he was very healthy and had no history of heart disease."
