"What, you guys are moving? To another city at that?"
That night, Jerome and Xander called me to their villa and said that they had something important to tell me. I did not expect them to be leaving though.
I looked at them with astonishment, also somewhat disbelieving. This was too sudden and for a moment, I found it difficult to accept.
I did not have that many good friends in Whaldorf City, to begin with, and now two of them were leaving at once. My heart instantly sank to rock bottom.
A sullen expression appeared on my face. Xander noticed my depressed mood and could not help laughing. "Oh, Wanda. Don’t be sad. We’ll come back to see you when we’re free. You can also come to visit us with Theo. "
The corners of my mouth twitched and I rolled my eyes at him.
They just said they were going to move to a remote location, the outskirts of a small island at that. It was 108,000 miles away. Forgetting distance, locating them itself would be difficult.
"Forget it, who knows if your island is safe or not. It's better for you two to take the time to come back and visit me." I was slowly able to accept it now, but I still sighed knowing that I would not have these two friends of mine in Whaldorf City in the future.
Jerome and Xander glanced at each other before looking at me simultaneously. This time, it was Jerome who spoke, "We’ve actually planned this for a long time. Since we’ve finally dealt with matters here, that’s why we thought of heading over now. That island is relatively liberalized. I think it would be better for me and Xander to go there."
Hearing this, I suddenly came to a realization and understood where they were coming from. It would be better for them to go to the island to be free and relaxed rather than to be judged by other people here. I nodded, finally reassured, and smiled lightly. "Okay, then I give you my blessing."
"Thank you, Wanda."
"Thanks, Wanda."
My gaze swept around the villa, it was gleaming. It looked like they had just mopped the floors, the tiles were flashing under the light. "You guys already cleaned the villa. What’s up? Did you already sell it?"
