The Author's POV

Chapter 853

"Uh… I'm fucking exhausted."

The first thing Ren did upon returning from work was lay down on the soft couch in his house.

Feeling his body sink into the sofa, he felt his body slowly relax.

"Yeah… this is how it should be."

The lights were closed, and the only light that filtered through was from the narrow gap of the curtains on his left.

It was quiet around him.

"Hey, brother."

But that quietness was broken by the softly spoken words of a little girl.

A soft smile appeared on Ren's face when he looked at the little girl.

"What is it, Nola?"

In her hand was a small ball, which she handed to him.

"Want to play?"

"Play? At this time?"

Checking his watch, it was 21:00. It was rather late, but seeing the pitiful look on his sister's face, he relented.

"Well… fine."

Picking up his jacket, he left the house alongside Nola.

"Here!"

The two played catch and throw. When one would throw, the other would catch. A rather simple game.

A gentle breeze blew past the empty park the two were in as the soft giggles of his sister filled the air.

"Hahah…too strong!"

The two played for a long time. Ren had lost track of the time as he immersed himself in the soft giggles of her sister.

"Catc—oh, damn!"

He ended up throwing a little too hard, and the ball flew behind the bushes.

"I'm sorry, Nola!"

He quickly apologized.

"It's fine, brother!"

But the little angel that she was, Nola sweetly smiled and trotted to where the ball fell. Her figure disappeared behind the bushes in the distance.

Ren waited where he was with a soft smile on his face.

He waited for who knows how long. He just stood there, staring at the bushes with a smile.

He didn't know when, but the ball appeared right beneath his feet, but Nola was no longer in sight.

But he just remained where he was and… waited.

Waited there while blankly staring at the ball at his feet.

"Ren! Ren!"

That was when he heard a couple of shouts from the distance.

When he turned his head, he found two familiar figures.

"Mom, dad, you're also here to play?"

"Play?"

Samantha's eyes started to water, and Ronald placed his hand over her shoulder.

"For god's sake, Ren! It's been ten years already! You need to start moving on! You can't just continue coming outside every day after work to stare emptily at a ball!"

With tears dropping from her eyes, Samantha's entire body trembled. Her eyes were swollen red, and she looked to be in pain.

"I, it's time to move on… please. For you and for everyone… you need to m-ove on. You can't be like this!"

"No, but…"
