“In that case, promise me you won’t disturb Shelly and me during this time.” Nox negotiated his conditions.
“Okay,” Mrs. Winter agreed immediately. “As long as you keep your word, I’ll keep mine.”
“I’ll hang up now.”
“Yeah.”
Nox put down his phone and leaned back on the sofa, not having much of an appetite. Who could have an appetite when eating alone anyway?
He might as well lie on the sofa like a corpse.
Shelly ordered Be’s favorite hamburger and fried chicken and was looking for a ce to eat them with Be when the phone suddenly rang.
The moment Shelly saw the caller ID, her expression darkened. She really did not want to answer Mrs. Winter’s call right now.
However, she eventually picked up the phone and said, “Aunty.”
“Shelly, are you with Nox?”
“That’s good.” The other side let out a sigh of relief. “I just wanted to ask if you do want to leave Nox.”
“Aunty, please just say what you want to say,” Shelly said frankly.
“Nox promised he’d be with you for a year, after one year, he’d leave you. If you don’t want to be with him, try to be as cold to him as possible, and don’t satisfy his needs. Just persevere for a year, and both of you will be free.”
“Okay.” Shelly nodded.
“Shelly, I’ll be really happy if you and Nox could be together, but unfortunately, you have no feelings for him. So, it’s useless for me to force you to be with him. Now that Nox is willing to let go, it’s up to you.” “I know what to do,” Shelly replied.
“In that case, I won’t say much more. Thank you.”
“No need,” Shelly said indifferently.
After all, it was a foregone conclusion, and there was no need for Mrs. Winter to thank her.
“I won’t disturb you anymore. Bye.”
“Bye. ”
When Shelly hung up the phone, Be looked at her expression and asked innocently, “Mom, who was that?”
“An ordinary person. Eat up.” Shelly came back to her senses and picked up the hamburger for Be.
“Mom, what’s going on between you and Uncle Nox? You two don’t seem to talk anymore,” Be asked worriedly.
“It’s nothing.” Shelly patted Be’s head. “In a year, we can leave him and live on our own.”
“Is that true?” Be asked, not looking particrly happy.
Shelly was a bit surprised. After all, Be not disliked Nox, did she not?
The next second, she heard Be ask again, “Will Uncle Nox be lonely on his own?”
“He won’t be lonely,” Shelly said bluntly.
Nox had so many friends and women around him. Even though he might be upset after the breakup, he certainly would not be lonely.
“Is that so?” Be looked at Shelly “Thest time Uncle Nox lost his temper with you and made me cry, he apologized to meter.”
Shelly was stunned.
“Uncle Nox told me not to tell you.”
“He apologized to you?”
“Yeah. He said he was just a little upset about work that day, so he got angry. It was not at me or you, Mom, and he asked if I could forgive him,” Be said earnestly. “So, I forgave him.”
“Oh? You forgave him so easily, huh?”
“It was because Uncle Nox was sincere. He even bought me the ice cream that you wouldn’t let me eat.” Be blushed as she spoke.
Shelly furrowed her brows.
“I’m sorry, Mom. I shouldn’t have lied to you,” Be quickly apologized.
Then, Shelly patted Be’s head. “It’s okay, but you have to tell me the next time. We agreed not to keep secrets between us, remember?”
“Okay.” Be nodded.
“Let’s eat.” Shelly handed Be the hamburger.
Be took a bite and said, “Mom, I think Uncle will definitely be lonely without us.”
“He won’t be,” Shelly said.
“He will. I often see him staring off into space, watching you,” Be said. “He’s been doing that after the fight.”
Shelly looked at Be. She did not expect a three-year-old to be so observant. That was why adults should not think that children knew nothing because they could see it all.
“That’s because…” Shelly did not know how to exin it to Be, so she used the reason that adults often like to use. “You’ll know in the future..”
