He looks at me deeply."What's the new password for the door lock? Although we've signed the agreement, we haven't gone through the formalities yet. Legally,we're still husband and wife."
I smile. "There's no need. Just leave. I'm going to sell this house."
"What did you say?!"
"The house is agreed to be mine, so there's nothing wrong with me selling it, right?"
I tap on the divorce agreement.
Michael then realizes I'm really determined. "You're so ruthless, Amanda. You don't have any sentiment!"
"I've always been like this. When I chose you, it was the same. And now, there's no difference."
My words have left him feeling defeated. He turns around and walks out. Before he left, I call out to him,"Michael!"
Michael turns back with a hint of hope on his face. I raise my chin toward the gift box. "Remember to take the ring with you."
Michael's face darkens. He grabs the ring and slams the door. I shrug. His bad temper really isn't pleasant.
I call Ryan. "Are you free? He signed the agreement. Come and help me move."
I don't want to live here for the time being, in case Michael finds excuses to come and bother me. So I decide to move out.
Ryan is excited when he heard this. "Of course I do!"
He quickly takes a leave and comes to help me pack my luggage. He tugs at my sleeve. "Hey, why don't you move in my place?"
I look at him and suddenly laugh. "Ryan, you promised to help me. What are you..."
"Yes, but the condition was that you be my girlfriend. It's not unreasonable for a girlfriend to live with me."
His words have left me speechless. I then realize he is serious.
Seeing his eagerness, I take a deep breath. "Okay then. I'll go with you for now."
Ryan is overjoyed. He holds my hand and starts packing my things right away. Then he calls a moving truck.
"Ryan, how much is the rent for your apartment? I'll pay half."
I know he has just graduated. Although I got him the job, I don't think Ryan could afford the rent alone. When he heard me say this, Ryan pins me against the wall. "Do you look down on me? How could I let my girlfriend pay?"
Since he has refused, I take a deep breath."You sure?"
"Of course! You're ridiculing on me if you insist!"
I quickly give in. "I definitely didn't mean that. If you don't want me to pay, then forget it." I could just give him more in other ways later.
Only then does Ryan cheer up and happily help me with the packing.
There are two rooms in his apartment, and we each took one.
When Ryan saw this arrangement, he isn't happy. "Is this it? Use me and then push me away?"
"Ryan, we agreed not to make me feel guilty!"
Ryan looks hurt and turns into his room without coming out again. The poor boy is actually angry with me.
I just don't want Michael to catch me off guard during this period and implicate Ryan. After all, this is between Michael and me. After I moved in with Ryan, I still keep the people watching Michael.
That bastard has introduced Lily to work at the club, and she is exclusively for him. This action really makes me laugh out loud.
He really dotes on Lily and doesn't want her to suffer any grievances.
I just sneer. Michael really loves her.
