"These things are already aningless to . I called today to tell you... I might have made a mistake, but please believe , it was unintentional, I thought Oversky knew..."
"Get to the point."
"I found out from Howard Geoffrey about the relationship between Marilyn Quinn and Mr. Jones, and I told Mr. Jones about it."
Christine Quinn shrugged indifferently, "Is that all?"
"Yes."
Christine Quinn sneered, "What if he knows? Anyway, he won’t care, even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to find now."
Rebecca Quentin asked with concern, "Aren’t you in Arica?"
"I am in Arica, but it’s so big, he wouldn’t know which corner I’m hiding in."
"Why are you hiding from him?"
"Made foolish mistakes when I was young, now I’m rational, and the child has grown up."
"Don’t you want him to find you?"
"If you have Howard Geoffrey’s child right now, would you want Howard Geoffrey to find you?"
"I..."
Christine Quinn scoffed, "No man in the Geoffrey family is any good. Rebecca Quentin, haven’t you realized this by now?"
Rebecca Quentin gazed quietly downward.
Christine Quinn continued, "Learn from one’s mistakes. I once advised you, but you still rushed into the flas like a moth, yet as a woman, I can understand the choices you made back then."
"Miss Quinn, where are you now?"
"Why, is sothing wrong?"
"No, I want the chance to visit you. There are so things I want to tell you in person, about our father. You might have misunderstood him." Living with hatred is truly a bleak existence, especially with the wedge Howard Geoffrey drove between Christine Quinn and her father.
Christine Quinn was silent for a long ti before speaking, "If you want to visit , do it soon. I’ll be busy for a while... I’ll use the space card to send you my current address. Rember to delete it as soon as you receive it, so no one can trace it."
"Alright."
Night.
Rebecca Quentin counted all the money she had.
The savings accumulated over four years of work were not much, but enough to live in Arica for a few months...
Originally, she planned to save more money in Y City, but now it seems she can’t stay in Y City any longer...
So things, even if unintended, are perceived by those with intent as deliberate, and explanations will never suffice.
Her only option is to leave Y City, to escape the troubles completely...
Actually, whether she was deliberately provoking Skyler Jones, she knew he was aware, but his insistence on claiming otherwise was rely to force her out of Y City...
She still rembers the text ssage, his new sweetheart wants to et Skyler Jones!
Indeed, if she were in Y City and ran into his new sweetheart, how awkward that would be. He probably feared she might say sothing unpleasant in front of his new sweetheart, right?
Since he was determined to drive her out of Y City, he’d devise countless ways to pressure her, and now she lacks the energy and spirit to confront him. Her only choice is to stay away from him... So, she must leave the Flowery Kingdom, and the ti to say goodbye to him forever has arrived.
If that’s the case, she decided to leave tonight! Better sooner than later, besides there is never an absolutely perfect ti to leave!
She didn’t plan on leaving tonight at first, considering the rush and not notifying Skyler Jones, plus many work things left unresolved, but thinking of the clerical tasks and copying Skyler Jones usually assigned her, even temporarily finding soone to replace her would be easy, and it wouldn’t affect "Oversky’s" operation, she felt at ease.
Luckily, there’s a flight to Arica tonight, departing at eleven, plenty of ti.
Leaving a letter for Skyler Jones in the apartnt, Rebecca Quentin packed her things and took a taxi straight to the airport.
There were not many people waiting for the flight at night, the waiting room was empty, it seed like she was the only one left in the world.
Rebecca Quentin glanced around at the sleepy waiting passengers, she felt tired too, and leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes.
It’s not physical exhaustion, it’s ntal fatigue...
However, she was very calm now, without any sorrow of parting.
Let the past turn into an unbearable mory from this mont on! From today, she would live happily with her baby!
Three months later, Illinois, USA.
