Chapter 5

At five o'clock the next morning.

I put the keys on the shoe cabinet by the entrance and closed the door for the last time.

While waiting at the airport, Eric was still active in Bella's feed.

They had gone to see the latest movie.

"This movie was so heartbreaking. By the second half, someone's shoulder was soaked with tears!"

In the nine-grid photo set there were movie tickets, popcorn, and two hands tightly clasped together.

In the comments, all our mutual friends were liking and congratulating them.

"No need to eat dinner tonight. I'm full just from your and Eric's dog food!"

"I can feel the happiness between you two through the screen. I hope you stay together forever!"

So everyone already knew about Bella and Eric, and they had all agreed to speak with me in the same way.

For five years, I had been nothing but a joke.

Eric liked the post first, so he had seen all those comments.

But not a single explanation came from him.

I laughed and liked it too.

Then I sent Eric my final message.

"Let's break up!"

Then I deleted and blocked all of Eric's and Bella's contact information.

By the time Eric and Bella finished the movie and came out, the man suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

An uneasy feeling stirred him so much that he couldn't settle down.

During the times we fought before, Lucy had also brought up breaking up, but every time it had been less than ten minutes before she ran back to him to make up.

So at first he didn't take it seriously, but now six hours had passed, and there still wasn't a second message in Lucy's chat window.

He hurriedly bought Lucy's favorite breakfast and rushed home, only to find the house completely empty.

Thinking she might have gone to the hospital to change her bandage, he felt a little relieved.

The next second, he found that the half of the closet belonging to Lucy was already completely empty.

He sent Lucy a message, and the screen quickly showed a red exclamation mark.

He then called Lucy's number, but all he got was the cold message that the other party could not be reached.

A huge sense of losing control was taking over Eric's heart, and he was panicking badly.

He turned around and saw the ring he had once given Lucy on the nightstand.
