He stood at the door of the apartment with the key on his hand, regardless of his discomfort. He had hoped that when he opened the door, Mary would be on the other side waiting for him!
"You're back? Where have you been?"
Perhaps, she would be waiting for him on the sofa as usual.
Maybe she was watching TV again.
Maybe she was eating snacks...
Crack!
The door was opened and William took a step inside.
The TV wasn't on, there were no snacks, no Mary...
"Mary!" William shouted hysterically as tears fell down his cheeks.
He took two steps forward and swept his eyes across the empty room. His heart felt colder than the temperature.
"Ring... "
The phone rang again, and William picked it up almost instantaneously. "Hello? Mary, is that you?"
"Boss..." Kevin was stunned. He stared at the letter he just received and said, "I just received Mary's resignation..."
"Bang!"
The phone slipped down from his ear and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
He rushed to Mary's bedroom.
The bed was neat and the floor was spotless. It seemed that she had just left for work and would come back in the evening.
Mary, you had cut off all contact with me.
William staggered to the bed and saw a box on it.
He opened the box with his trembling hands.
A red dress, a photo album, and a wedding ring.
"This ring...Who bought it?"
He remembered that when
out that Mary had quietly walked into his heart long ago, but he stubbornly kept the contract, unwilling to forget the past, and took responsibility to indulge Frank...
When Mary was still by his side, he didn't feel anything, but once he realized that she was no longer by his side, he felt like his arm had been suddenly cut off.
There would be no more of her here, no more of her pleasing, triumphant laughter, no more of the warm eyes that lingered on him. It would never happen again.
"I paid for it. I can do whatever I want!"
How could he say such thoughtless and inconsiderate words!
And when he slapped Mary, he exerted all of his strength. He didn't hold back at all! William stared at his right hand and thought, 'If I cripple my right hand, will Mary forgive me?'
But she couldn't see that anymore. She couldn't see his regret, his chagrin, his tears...
"Mary..." William held the photo album tightly in his arms as if she was holding Mary. "Please show up... I was wrong... Please don't leave me..."
His heart felt like a bottomless and empty void.
William didn't dare to think about the days without Mary for the rest of his life. He almost went crazy when he couldn't find her in only three days. This kind of pain was a hundred times more painful than when he lost Sansa.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong... "
Just then, the doorbell rang in the lonely apartment.
