When Ronan noticed me ignoring him, an annoyed look crept onto his face, and he yelled, “Anna, what kind of response is that? I’m talking to you!”

I frowned as my mood soured. I was not in the mood to fight with him. All I wanted was some peace.

“What happened to you? Why did you ignore me? Have I offended you in any way?”

Ronan asked as he stuck he head out of the window. He could sense that I was not being myself.

“You didn’t make me mad. I just want to have some time alone. Don’t follow me,” I uttered without sparing him a glance.

Then, I quickened my pace.

In the past, Ronan would insist on following me, but to my surprise, he listened to me. It made me relax.

Soon, I came to a river and sat there alone. It was spacious and quiet, which was exactly what I wanted. I did not want to say nor do anything.

After I heard about Michael’s engagement, it felt like someone had stuck their hand into my chest and dug my heart out. I felt hollow on the inside.

I sat there for what seemed like ages. The sky gradually darkened, but I still did not want to go home. That was a place that harbored the memories of Michael and me, so it would only make me suffer.

Once he was engaged with Emma, I would not even have the right to even fantasize about being with him anymore. Therefore, I had to learn to control myself.

At some point, Ronan appeared and came to sit by my side.
