"Don’t put on the spot "I finally replied after a mont of silence.
"Over the years, I’ve given Damon countless chances, but he never valued them."
My answer brought a look of disappointnt on Lisa’s face She sighed, ’It’s his fault"
"Pointing fingers now doesn’t make a difference. Damon is not a kid, and he has to take responsibility for his past actions." I said softly
"Eliana, do you have soone you fancy?" Lisa suddenly asked.
I shook my head calmly. "No, but it doesn’t an I will backtrack"
Lisa gave a bitter smile. "That’s not what I ant. I just hope you find soone you like soon, it would also help Damon to get over you"
It was easier said than done, especially when I didn’t know where to find the one I’d like
"All right, Eliana" Lisa stood up, her expression much more relaxed, "I understand your decision, Sorry for barging in today"
Lisa had always been good to , except for not telling about Catherine. I didn’t completely resent her. Seeing her humble herself for Damon, I felt a mix of sympathy and helplessness
After seeing Lisa out, I imdiately received a call from Damon.
"Did my mom visit you?" Damon asked.
"She just left." I answered. "You knew she was coming, and you didn’t stop her?"
Damon sounded defeated, "She ntioned it to . I told her not to bother you. But by the ti I woke up, she was gone.".
He paused, his voice growing softer as he said, "Anyway, don’t listen to her"
As if I would, I was not crazy
Since he was only calling about this, I hung up after I answered his question.
Ten days after Damon was hospitalized, he was discharged when he was almost recovered.
Of course, I learned this from the news, and we hadn’t been in touch for the past ten days
The reason for his fight with Daniel was dug up during these days. I was just chilling at ho when the gossip and controversy ca raining down.
The Internet was abuzz with all sorts of theories, so of them downright ridiculous.
Sobody said, "I have a crazy theory. What if Damon and his ex–wife are still in love, and Ariel is just a tool for Damon to provoke his ex–wife?"
Another one said, "They never appeared together before their divorce. Is Mr. Coleman trying to get back with his ex–wife now?"
The five–year marriage between Damon and was indeed awkward. Now that it was brought up again, everyone knew the nas Damon and Ariel, but when it ca to , I was referred to as ’his ex–wife."
These high–profile past events were easy targets for analysis, and it was kind of funny even for
Luckily Ariel soon took so of the heat off .
The day after Damon’s discharge, she revealed her current status to the public. She was Ms. Zoe, the one who held two billion in investnt funds, and the adopted daughter of Abner, the vice president of Horizon Enterprises.
The news caused a sensation
The once innocent girl of an ordinary family background, who had an intricate affair with a man like Damon, was exposed and disappeared on the brink of death
Two years later, she re–erged as a wealthy heiress, making a strong coback, and had already declared her undying love for Damon.
The netizens, with too much ti on their hands, created all sorts of stories about this background in just one day
Inevitably people started comparing Ariel and , and so even made a comparison chart.
"What a load of nonsense" My dad was furious after reading so of the news, Damon’s injury was due to his own impulsiveness,
" what does Eliana have to do with it?"
"Dad, don’t get mad There are all sorts of opinions online, don’t take them seriously" I quickly cald my dad down
He snorted and said. "There are still so sensible people who rember what Damon did and that Ariel, she’s no good girl."
There are so who support , but Ariel probably hired an army of trolls Since she announced her new identity, there have been many comnts praising her innocence, beauty, and kindness and claiming that I was the one who frad her in the past.
But I didn’t care about these comnts, and they didn’t affect my life.
Aside from my parents and Luna, who couldn’t help but defend , my life was still calm.
"Ms Brooks, you have a letter " One day, Jas brought a letter he had received
Who in this day and age still sent letters? I curiously took the envelope, but after reading its contents, all my curiosity disappeared, leaving only speechless
This invitation was from Ariel, who invited to a business dinner she was hosting
I threw the invitation into the trash with no intention of going
At this mont, Jones called.
"What are you up to?" Jones hadn’t called in a while. From the ti Damon was hospitalized to his discharge, he never visited. It was as if he had disappeared for a while and then suddenly reappeared.
Sotis I secretly wondered if he really liked .
Why do I often feel like he doesn’t? But at the sa ti, I really hope my suspicion is true. I hope we can be friends, not lovers.
I casually answered, "Nothing. Why did you suddenly call ?"
There was a mont of silence on the other end, followed by his laughter. His voice sounded pleased, "What’s wrong? Are you mad I haven’t been in touch?"
"No, it’s just that Damon was hospitalized recently, right? I heard you didn’t go see him. Are you two having a serious fight?" I couldn’t help but bring up this topic
Jones asked, "Are you asking this because you’re worried about or because you’re worried about him?"
What kind of question was that? Couldn’t I just be curious?
I answered, "Neither, I’m just curious"
"I had so family matters to take care of and didn’t have ti. I just returned to work at the hospital these days," Jones’s tone was calm, "I knew about his injury, Mitch told ."
"Jones, you and Damon have been friends for so many years; don’t let anyone co between you. No one is worth it, you know?" I said sincerely.
Jones dodged the topic, "You free tonight? I need a dance partner"
"A dance partner? Don’t tell you’re also going to Ariel’s dinner party?" I was pretty gobsmacked.
He replied, "Yeah, Ariel sent invites to a few of us, including Damon. He’ll probably be there too."
