Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Emily Gives Birth

After chilling in Seabreeze Harbor for a few days, I headed back to Starlight City.

Not long after, Emily posted some awesome news on Facebook-she'd landed a bunch of big deals. I knew it was Faris who threw that party to help her out.

Emily was off to a great start, and I was genuinely happy for her, but it bugged me that I wasn't the one who helped her.

I still missed her. The occasional good news she sent my way just didn't cut it.

Every day, I came back to my empty place, eating, watching TV, and sleeping alone, with only Rollie for company.

The summer heat couldn't chase away the coldness of this home.

Rollie wasn't as chill as before. Maybe it was because Emily wasn't around; he had become super irritable. He always made a mess when I wasn't looking. I couldn't bring myself to scold him, so I just followed him around, cleaning up the chaos. While Emily was away, I poured all my patience into Rollie.

The night before our wedding anniversary, I took Rollie and drove up the mountain to the spot where we camped last year.

A year ago, under the influence of alcohol, I had my first intimate moment with Emily here.

In the blink of an eye, a year had flown by.

Back then, I was sure I'd spend my life with her, but now we were apart.

I always thought I controlled my own fate, but now I realized there were so many things I couldn't control.

That night, I sat on a rock and drank a lot, alone. Rollie kept circling around, making all sorts of noises.

I raised my glass to Rollie. "Come on, cheers."

Rollie could only respond with a couple of meows.

Luckily, I had Rollie. Without him, I'd feel even lonelier.

When I was drunk and lying in the tent, Rollie came in and lay beside me.

I got a call from an unknown number.

There was no sound when I answered, but I had a gut feeling it was her.
