The moment I stepped out,he immediately sprang up and grabbed my hand.
"Momo,I was wrong.You didn't reallymean to break up,right?"
I smiled."If this isn't serious,the what would be?"
"Ethan Thompson,"I stroked his hair."You will never sleep soundly without me."
A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes."Momo..."
I ignored him,turned around and was about to leave,but I heard Ethan Thompson shouting behind me.
"Shimo,don't think you're not irreplaceable in the world."
"I don't believe it.I'll search the whole city and I'm sure I can find someone else who can help me sleep well."
There really isn't.
Ethan Thompson's insomnia wasn't ordinary.His insomnia was accompanied by severe anxiety and depression.
In simple terms,he was now like a small beast trapped in a cage,and only I held the key to his release.
If Ethan's morning visit surprised me, Emily's evening appearance shocked me.
She stood with her hands on her hips."What kind of drug did you give Ethan Thompson?"
I was confused and was about to open the door,but Emily Taylor knocked the key out of my hand.
"He can't sleep all night now,and sleeping pills don't work."
"Do you believe that I'll call the police and say you used banned drugs on Ethan Thompson?"
"Miss Taylor,"I picked up the key that had fallen on the ground."If you don't leave now,I'll call the police."
When I closed the door,I could still see Emily Taylor's face turning green and purple with anger.
After taking a shower,I saw that Emily Taylor had posted a new Weibo.
"Great satisfaction."
I had a bad feeling.When I went out to check,sure enough,there was something wrong at the door.
On my door,someone had spray-painted the words"The mistress will not die a good death".
I didn't need to think hard to know who did it.
Rumor had it Emily, born to elderly intellectuals, was their spoiled golden child - now a full-blown narcissist.
Now it seemed that she was too arrogant.
The police arrived quickly.After investigating the surveillance and my video doorbell,they identified Emily Taylor as the culprit.
When Emily Taylor was arrested,she was still cursing at me.Ethan Thompson followed behind her,trying to defend her,but he was blocked outside the police car.
When Ethan Thompson rushed to the police station,he immediately understood the situation when he saw me.
“Shimo,do you really have to destroy Emily?She’s just immature,”he pleaded.
“You’d actually send her to jail?”
I felt like I was hearing a ridiculous joke.“She’s an adult.How long does she need to grow up?Should we raise the legal age of adulthood because of her?”
Ethan Thompson furrowed his brows.“That’s not a fair thing to say.”
I didn’t want to waste any more breath on him.“So it’s not right for me to say this,but it’s right for her to spray paint on my door?Since we’re already at the police station,why don’t you ask them to arrest me instead.”
Just then,a police officer came over to talk to me.“Miss Taylor has requested reconciliation.We’d like to know your thoughts.”
“I refuse,”I replied firmly.“She spray painted my door and verbally abused me when she was caught.You all witnessed these things.This clearly counts as picking quarrels and provoking trouble.I trust you’ll do your duty,officer.”
“Of course.We will definitely make sure you’ll get justice”the officer promised.
After getting the officer’s confirmation,I was about to leave.Ethan Thompson,with huge dark circles under his eyes,was followed me.
“Ethan,I’m going home to sleep.You deal with this,”I said with a smile,then flagging a taxi and went home.
