For the first time, Patrick had a feeling that he could not get her.
"Alright, looks like you met Patrick already." On the other side of the phone, Catherine laughed bitterly. "H e came and looked for me yesterday. You guys should talk."
"...Okay.” Freya gradually calmed down. She raised her head and looked at her ex-boyfriend.
"Freya, why didn't you tell me that you came to Canberra to work?" Patrick smiled at her bitterly. "You blocked all my phone calls and WhatsApp messages. Are you still angry even after making a fuss for so long?"
"Making a fuss?" Freya's heart grew cold. After all this time, he still thought that she was just throwing a tantrum as usual and that it would pass as long as he coaxed her?
"Fine, I admit that I was in the wrong that time. I've reflected on my mistakes. But it has been so long since that incident, so don't be mad anymore. When w e go back, I'll meet your parents at their house to apologize. We can get married immediately." Patrick held her hand.
He was really unused to the days without her around.
He used to think that dating was troublesome. Even if he was busy at work, he still had to make time to accompany her.
However, after she left, he began feeling empty during his free time. He would feel an indescribable sense of panic.
He admitted that he had not treasured her properly in the past and took her for granted, thinking that she would always stay by his side. Therefore, he ended up neglecting her a lot.
He would not do that anymore.
"I won’t go back." Freya remained still. "I’m working at Osher Corporation now, and my future career advancement is good here."
Patrick was taken aback. "Wasn't your previous job in Melbourne going well for you too?"
Freya suddenly felt like crying. Exactly how unconcerned about her was he before? "Patrick Jackson, I stayed in Melbourne before this just for your sake. I have everything figured out now. I'm still young and pretty, so I want to explore the outside world more. I don't want to get married. Why should I step into the grave of marriage so early?"
"Stop being unreasonable. Your greatest hope was to get married to me in the past—"
"I don't want it now,” Freya interrupted him. "Patrick, I already told you very clearly when we broke up last year. We're done. I'm not joking, don’t come and look for me anymore."
