No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 351



"I'm calling from the Clear Springs Estate redevelopment office. We had posted a notice about the demolition a while back, and there are still some formalities to be completed. It looks like you're the last one we need to get in touch with."

That call just added a heavier load to my already gloomy mood.

I knew about the demolition procedures for a while, but I had been dragging my feet.

In my mind, it felt like if I didn't show up to sign the paperwork, they couldn't proceed with the demolition, and my home would remain untouched. But here we are, I still have to sign off on it, to tear it down.

I can't be the lone holdout, slowing down the entire process, affecting everyone else's chance at moving into their new homes.

After all, the estate is really run-down. Who wouldn't want to live in a new, modern apartment?
