Faye couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Henry say that.
"You’re laughing, did I say something wrong?"
"No, it’s just because what you said is too right, that’s why I’m laughing."
The two got in the car, and Henry drove away from the police station.
On the way, Faye asked, "Henry, don’t you have something to say to me?"
Henry handed a key to Faye, "Here, take this."
"What is this? A house key?"
"Yes, it’s the key to my apartment.
I originally planned to stay here until your vacation ended.
But now I can’t, there’s something urgent at the military, I must hurry back.
I’ve booked a flight for four o’clock this afternoon.
Starting tonight, you shouldn’t stay in the hotel anymore.
A girl shouldn’t always live in a hotel.
I know you don’t like going home to live with your brother.
So just stay at my place.
Don’t say you’re not going, objections are invalid.
My apartment has been empty for too long, it needs someone to live in to feel alive.
And take this car too.
Cars and houses are the same, the more you maintain them, the better they get, the longer they’re left alone, the worse they become."
Faye took the key and smiled, "Alright, I’ll take advantage of this."
"Take advantage? You’re talking nonsense."
Henry glanced at her, "And one more thing, about Oliver... what are you planning to do?"
At the mention of Oliver, the smile on Faye’s face faded.
"Henry, I have my own plans."
"Faye, don’t give me this.
The things you told me before, I’ve thought them over carefully.
You don’t want me to meddle, you want to walk your own path.
Fine, I respect your choices.
You can make your own decisions about other things.
But Faye, your parents aren’t here anymore.
How can we, the ones who love you the most, just stand by knowing you’re going down the wrong path?
I don’t want to influence your thoughts.
But I can’t watch you fall.
There are some things I have to discuss with you deeply.
You used to love Hunter so much.
Even though he was cold and indifferent to you, you two never got to the point of divorce.
Since you got married, because of Isla, I didn’t have the heart to care about you two.
But how did things suddenly develop ?
Didn’t you say before, even if he didn’t love you, you would still marry him?
Even if he no longer wanted you, you wouldn’t divorce him?
Why did you get divorced so easily now?
Did something happen between you two?
Is there a misunderstanding?"
Faye frowned and looked down at her ringless finger and shook her head.
"If there is a misunderstanding between you two and you feel you can’t resolve it yourself.
It’s okay, I’ll help you talk it through."
"No, there’s no so-called misunderstanding.
He doesn’t love me, and I can’t hold on anymore.
Since two people who don’t want to love each other will only waste time together.
It’s better to be separated like now.
Look, after leaving me, isn’t he happily living with my best friend?"
"But you’ve changed, haven’t you noticed?
The old you was so cheerful, so full of laughter.
But now, you’re always forcing yourself.
Faye, I know you, I always feel... you’re like standing on the edge of a cliff now.
Oliver shouldn’t be someone you get involved with.
Why don’t you listen to my advice at all?"
Faye sighed and leaned her head back, "Henry, maybe I’ve grown up.
I used to think that people must have love, that without love, men and women are just like the walking dead.
