His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

Chapter 11

I truthfully informed Brennan of my plan, and he let out a cold laugh.

“Marlene, did you think that this would be enough to repay me for my kindness towards you? But it’s far from enough, I want you to be by my side forever!”

“I disagreed with your leaving without my permission, you could only stay by my side. Today, you had to go with me!”

He approached again, wanting to hug me, but I pushed him away.

“I have already said it before, when I was young and foolish, I thought I had fallen in love with you. And you used to dislike me bothering you all the time, right? Now I won’t bother you anymore, so please don’t come and bother me either, okay, Uncle?”

Brennan smiled and then burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. “You say you don’t love me anymore? What am I supposed to do? I have already fallen in love with you, I simply cannot be without you! Just the thought of you leaving my side makes me feel unbearable pain!”

“Marlene, I know I hurt your heart before, that’s why you don’t want to love me anymore. I won’t force you to fall in love with me again right away, just come back with me. After we go back, we can slowly cultivate our feelings, okay?”

I refused him again and said sincerely, “Uncle, you just couldn’t accept me leaving you, couldn’t accept me breaking free from your control. This is not love, true love is not like this.”

“You should leave here soon and never come to find me again. In the future, I will come back to see you. You have raised me for so many years, you have long been my family.”

But Brennan refused to leave, and just as he was dragging me away like a madman, our senior brother, who heard the commotion, quickly came over to help.

Brennan rushed all the way, but he was no match for the young senior brother. He was immediately knocked down to the ground.

He sat down on the ground, looking at me coldly and said, “Marlene, you’ve grown! Just a few days after leaving me, you already have another man! Did you come to this mountain because of him? Is it because of him that you don’t want to go back with me?”
