chapter 6

I had never called Sean "Mr.Brown" before.

So when the cold word "Mr.Brown" slipped out, it made Sean frown involuntarily.

He was about to say something when Ella’s sobs cut in.

"Mr. Brown, I feel dizzy. Could you please take me to the hospital?"

He immediately returned to that cold expression of his.

I let out a soft scoff, shook my head, and turned to walk out of the bathroom.

A ten-year love affair had finally come to an end.

I went straight back to Sean’s villa, took out my suitcases, and started packing my clothes.

But no matter how I packed, the things that belonged to me only filled two suitcases.

The rest—whether bags or jewelry—were all bought by Ella, reflecting her own tastes.

Especially when I saw the men’s ring I’d hidden in the corner of the dresser.

I couldn’t hold back my tears.

This ring was a relic from my father. I’d once given it to Sean.

He’d accepted it at the time.

But I’d never seen him wear it. It wasn’t until one day, when I happened to go into his study and saw the ring thrown in the trash, that I knew my relationship with Sean wouldn’t last.

After packing up, I picked up my suitcases and went downstairs.

As I reached the villa door, I ran into Sean, who had just come home.

He looked at me with a slight frown. "Are you running away again? You just took off a couple of days ago, then slunk back. Haven’t you gotten tired of this game yet?"

A sneer appeared on my lips.

So during the three days I’d been away after my mom died, Sean had also thought I was throwing a tantrum.

No wonder he hadn’t called to ask about me.

No wonder the sneer on his face had been so obvious when I came back.

I looked at him calmly. "Sean, let’s break up."

Just then, the ride-hailing car arrived. I paid no attention to the dark look on his face.

I stuffed the suitcases into the trunk and opened the car door.

Before leaving, Sean called out to me coldly.

"Jane, if you walk out now, I won’t let you come back. I won’t allow you to keep testing my limits like this, over and over."

I looked at him mockingly. "Sean, don’t worry. Even if I die, I’ll never come back to you."

With that, I got into the car and drove away.

Watching the tree shadows outside the window fade away, I knew my ten-year Cinderella dream had shattered completely.
