Chapter 13
After moving to the West City, I began a new life
and career.
I met new colleagues and friends..
I no longer woke up every morning thinking about which household chore to do first as I had
when I was a housewife.
I learned to earn money and to spend it.
More importantly, I learned to love myself.
I sold the house Erik had left me and bought a spacious apartment in the heart of West City—
300 square meters, 5 rooms.

Me, Alone, with my dog.
I could sleep anywhere I wanted, and it was blissfully comfortable.
I also didn’t disappoint the company’s trust in
- me.
In the first quarter, I led my team to exceed the
company’s targets, earning a substantial bonus.
At the same time, the company offered me a chance to study abroad.
I couldn’t refuse.
Having dropped out of college was always a regret of mine.

Now that I had the opportunity to make up for it, how could I say no?
So, I studied while continuing to lead my team and cemented our position in West City.
A year later, one evening, I took Toby out for a
walk.
On our way back, Toby stopped in front of
a roasted sweet potato stand and wouldn’t budge.
This little guy was craving it again.
I helplessly took out my phone, ready to buy
him one.

But the vendor seemed slow to act.
I looked up, puzzled.
And there, standing before me, was a man—his face worn, with a scruffy beard, limping on one leg…
It was Erik!
When Erik saw the shock in my eyes, he
snapped back to reality.
Avoiding my gaze, he hurriedly grabbed a sweet potato for me, then pushed the stall away, limping off quickly.
I watched his hunched figure, feeling a mix of
emotions.

After a moment of thought, I picked up my phone and dialed Penelope.
