Teresa handed the keys to Jadeleaf Apartment over to the agent. All she had to do was handle the sale online; the rest of the paperwork was left to them.

She hadn’t lived here long, but she still felt a bit attached.

At the airport, Teresa saw Jennifer calling her. She declined the call.
Jennifer then sent a message: [Just asking, what time is your
why aren’t you picking up? Is something wrong?]
Teresa replied: [I’m already at the airport. From now on, my life has nothing to do with you, Hannah. If you keep bothering me, don’t blame me for being harsh.]
She immediately blocked Jennifer’s number. But to her surprise, Jennifer messaged her again–this time using Donald’s phone.
Jennifer: [So you blocked me, huh? Trying to drive me crazy? Fine, it’s good you’re back. I promise I won’t interfere anymore, but you have to promise me -don’t get tangled up with your ex again.
[And if Irene comes looking for you, let me know. Our family isn’t so easy to push around.]
‘Family? What family do I even have? Forget it,‘ Teresa thought. She saw through it all. She’d rather live well on her own than rely on a family that only ever brought her pain.
People said that if a woman got bullied by her in–laws, it was because she didn’t have strong family backing.
Maybe that was true, but Teresa didn’t care anymore. Besides, if Jennifer really married Donald, then Irene would be her aunt–in–law. If Jennifer wanted a peaceful life, she’d better not go up against Irene.
Teresa blocked Donald’s number too. From now on, she’d just focus on living her own
life.
Her flight was about to board, so Teresa headed for security, not noticing the tall figure standing
the second floor, quietly watching her.
Jonathan watched as she passed through security with her suitcase, not looking away until she was completely out of sight.
He called the subordinate, looking for an apartment; he wanted Teresa’s place. “There are school district apartments better than Jadeleaf Apartment. Go check them out when you have time.”
The subordinate blurted, “Mr. Lynn, you’re so busy, and if you want the apartment, how could I possibly compete?
“I just saw the listing on the company website and thought it was a colleague’s. I didn’t know you had the secretarial department put it up. I really-”
“Enough. I get it,” Jonathan said. He hung up and took a short nap in the car.

He’d originally thought just selling the place for her would be enough. But then he thought, ‘What if she doesn’t want to stay in Nareigh anymore and runs off again? At least this way, she’d always have a place to come back to.‘
It was evening by the time Teresa landed at Nareigh International Airport.
Dragging her suitcase along, she made her way home, feeling like she’d been gone for a lifetime. Everything looked familiar, yet somehow distant.
She’d left in March, and now it was almost July. The airport was packed with people coming and going.
Teresa had fibbed about her flight’s arrival time–she didn Nareigh on her own.

She grabbed a cab and asked the driver to take the long way before finally heading to Rosary Estates.
She saw skyscrapers soaring into the clouds and the streets lined with all kinds of shops. Maybe because of some city beautification campaigns, red ribbons and little yellow lights hung everywhere.
She passed Nareigh Tower and the spinning–top building Benny’s dad had helped design.
