After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 407

It was around 11 PM when Ryan dropped me off at the entrance of my apartment complex.

The early autumn night was chilly, and I was still wearing the dress he’d given me. Without the glamour of the stage, the dress made me feel a little

awkward.

Ryan stayed in the car and told me, “Get some rest. See you tomorrow.”

I glanced back at him, and he raised his hand, saying, “I’ll wait until you’re inside.”

I gathered up one side of my dress, said goodbye, and walked straight into the complex without looking back.

Once Ryan couldn’t see me anymore, I finally let myself relax.

Being so on edge tonight wasn’t how I usually lived, and it just made me feel restless.

The first thing I did when I got home was take a shower and change out of the dress. I slipped into a light, comfy camisole nightdress, then sat down at my computer to get some work done.

When I checked my phone, I noticed I’d missed a message.

It was from Jessica: “Hey Victoria, it’s Jessica. Heard you’re in Shaville. Want to grab lunch tomorrow?”
