Chapter 553


    ?


    "Yeah, I decided to move out the moment I resigned."


    To Lucy, she seemed to understand it as, ''There''s nothing here worth holding onto.''


    "I''ve been wanting to leave for a while. You have no idea how awful thendy here is. Every time rent is due, she raises the price. I even dread talking to her now.


    "I always pay on time, yet she still does this. It''s not like the location of this ce is that great either. The faucet in the bathroom is broken, and whenever I ask her to fix it, she makes excuses, so I end up having to pay for repairs myself."


    Chloe moved all the boxes to the front door and pped her hands together. "If it weren''t for the fact that thendy knew I desperately wanted to rent this ce, she wouldn''t have raised the rent that much."


    Chloe''s ce was situated in a semi-suburban area, and it was over an hour''s drive from the city center. Even with the subway, it was inconvenient. There were no malls nearby, and getting groceries was a long walk away.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    "Why didn''t you find a better ce in the first ce?"


    "If not for Hudson..."


    Chloe paused to regain herposure and said, "Back then, when Hudson wanted some peace and quiet, he abandoned hisrge vi and rented a house nearby. To be closer to him, I rented a ce in the same area.


    "Later, he got bored, so he left after just two months. Meanwhile, I had paid a full year''s deposit that I couldn''t get back. Convincing thendy to let me move out was a real struggle."


    Chloe knew Hudson too well. Aside from his work, he had little patience for anything else. Not only did he have a short attention span, but if he got upset about something, he would not hesitate to just drop everything and leave.


    Only after spending time with him did Lucy realize how unbearable his temper could be.


    "I had a good job at thepany, but because of the rent, I couldn''t save much money each month. Still, I was happy because I was willing to do anything for him."


    Chloe opened up about her past with Hudson without holding back at all.


    Only her past self could have endured the countless ''obstacles'' Hudson created for her.


    "I had no idea you suffered so much..."


    "It''s not that bad. I didn''t really


    suffer. Late well and slept well. I may have faced tons of rejections from Hudson while pursuing him, but I still found joy in it." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org


    Reflecting on those days, Chloe remembered that Hudson never gave her a definitive rejection. Seeing as they were ''friends,'' he would sometimes even exchange a

    QUMS


    Lucy did not want Chloe to leave like this. At the same time, she was also fulfilling the small favor she promised Hudson as she could not go back on


    her word.


    "But I..."


    "Don''t run away and stay here for now. I don''t think you should resign either. Just focus on your work."
