Chapter 3 Reluctance

Jennifer arrived at her best friend, Carley Kelley’s place with her suitcase.

She raised her hand, knocked gently on the door, and then stood by, waiting quietly.

Carley and she were both orphans, and the two grew up together in the orphanage, so you could say they were like sisters.

Jennifer flashed back to when she was picked up by Shaun. Carley had said to her, “Jennifer, in the future, if he doesn’t want you, remember to come home.”

It was because of these words that Jennifer dared to abandon Shaun’s house.

Carley quickly opened the door, and when she saw it was her, the corners of her mouth immediately rose in a broad smile.

“Jennifer! What brings you here?”

Jennifer’s grip on her trolley tightened and she said with some embarrassment, “Carley, I’ve come to join you.”

Only then did Carley see the suitcase in her hand, and the smile on her face instantly froze, “What’s going on?”

Jennifer smiled and acted as if nothing had happened, “I split up with him.”

Carley froze for a moment and looked over at Jennifer who was forcing a smile. She looked at Jennifer properly examining her small, pale face and sunken eye sockets. Her thin body looked light enough to be blown away by the frigid wind that fluttered around her.

Seeing Jennifer like this, Carley suddenly felt so heartbroken.

She rushed forward and hugged Jennifer tightly, “Don’t be sad. I’m still here for you.”
