Chapter 29 — Late Love You

“Don't you have anything to say to me?” Pho Canh Tham sat up, his expression filled with pleading.

My heart still didn't soften a bit, just quietly looking at him.

"Pho Canh Tham, all you do now is to hold on, I know clearly. But don't waste any more effort in vain, it won't work."

Watching his face gradually turn from a glimmer of light to gloomy, I turned and walked away, never once looking back. On the way home, I clutched my scarf, which still had his scent on it. I know he's just not used to my leaving and is experiencing withdrawal reactions, which is why he did this series of actions. Compared to how much I like you, you will never be equal. If this continues, sooner or later something will happen. When I got home, I packed my luggage and told my dad that I wanted to travel for a while. I rented an apartment in another province to live for half a year and then left. The company is not busy these days, there are only two projects being managed by Linh Linh and others. I had free time so I decided to hide for a while. But I had only been gone for two days. My father told me that Pho Canh Tham had recovered from illness and was discharged from the hospital. He was extremely devastated when he heard the news that I was leaving. He came to Hua's house as best he could to ask where I was. Tell him to go everywhere I frequent, frantically looking for my shadow. This caused a stir throughout the city. Some people said I wanted to hide from him so I disappeared, others said I had lured another man so I took off my shirt and left. Lately he has been texting me constantly, confiding his depression.

"Hua Ninh Chi, you're so cruel to me. If you just want to leave, you'll evaporate without a trace, I can't find you."

“Why? Why don't you let me see you? Just look from afar, please…”

"Are you that cruel? Do you know that losing you is as painful as death for me, so you want me to experience the feeling of being abandoned by you, of being unloved by you?"

"I was wrong, please go home, I can't live without you."

I looked at the messages, deleted them one by one, put the phone on the table, and looked into the night drinking coffee. Wait a little longer, maybe three months later he won't cling to me anymore. However, I did not expect that in the end he would not give up, but instead went to Truong So Tran. Truong So Tran called. As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Pho Canh Tham's dark and cold voice.

“Where did you hide her? You know where she is, right?”

"What nonsense are you talking about? She didn't tell anyone where she went, not even her father knew, how would I know? Get out quickly, don't make trouble here, otherwise I'll report you to the police for harassment now!"

"Surely you know. If you don't know, then I've really lost track..." Pho Canh Tham muttered to himself, as if comforting himself, as well as clinging to the last hope.

On the phone, Truong So Tran sighed helplessly: "Can you stop making trouble? I already told you, she's not with me. Do I need to lie to you?"

"Deputy President, our two families are considered to be doing business together. Even if it's because of my father's company's business, I can't offend you and cut off my own fortune, right?"

Pho Canh Tham fell silent for a long time. I couldn't see what he looked like right now, but his breathing was suddenly heavy. Are you planning on doing something stupid? After a while Struggling, Truong So Tran walked over and patted Pho Canh Tham's shoulder: "Before, you didn't know how to appreciate, but now people have cooled their hearts, you're running to find them all over the world. In the end, are you torturing yourself or are you torturing her? Listen to my advice, stay away from her for a bit, forgive her."

"She's liked me for so many years, how can she say that letting go is letting go? Even if she wants to let go, I still have to find her. You don't need to advise me anymore, I'm going to pack my bags."
