His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

Chapter 3

The next day, I called my supervisor. His voice was both surprised and excited, “Marlene, are you sure you want to join the field survey team and go into the mountains? This field survey will last for a year. Can your family agree to it?”

I had mentioned to Brennan before that I wanted to join the mentor’s group, but Brennan strictly

forbade me from going with them.

And at that time, I couldn’t bear to leave him either, so I declined the invitation from the mentor.

Brennan repeatedly emphasized that I was not allowed to leave his side, so it was a surprise to the

mentor when I volunteered to join.

“Teacher, I was already an adult and could make decisions for myself. Moreover, you are also

aware of my family situation, and I don’t want to cause any more trouble for the Krueger family elders. So, for this time, I kindly request that you keep my joining a secret until we depart.”
