idie was moved but also felt bitter. She hugged Farrah tightly. After soothing Jodie, Farrah grabbed ‘ge suitcase and started packing her things.

re you really going to move in with this Mr. Locke?” Jodie asked.

eah.” Farrah moved quickly and said chirpily, “Married couples should live together, right? He treats me all, and his grandfather likes me.”

ay…”

.* Jodie was still worried. “Are you sure you can depend on him? What’s his family like? Does he have ly bad habits? There has to be something in this marriage for you, right? What are you getting out of this?

Vell, he saved me and you today. That alone is enough for me to leave my life in his hands.” Farrah uffed her clothes into the suitcase and zipped it up. She’d already decided to depend on Adrian for life.

hen Jodie saw that, she said, “Maybe you should take the other suitcase. This one is already spoiled.”

lo, it’s fine. I can just lift it. I’ll leave the good one for you and Mason to use.” Afraid that she would take o long. Farrah grabbed the suitcase. Then, she turned back and smiled at Jodie. “Take care of yourself, :ay? Bye!”

idie stood by the door and watched as she left. She thought about Farrah saying she would care for her hen she grew older, and her nose prickled. She felt horribly guilty.

eggshells around him. She didn’t even dare to look him in the eye.

The cab couldn’t drive into the upscale residential area, the driver could only drop Farrah off at the entrance. The suitcase’s wheel had fallen off, so she couldn’t pull it behind her. She had no choice but to

lift it.

Her plain and disheveled appearance made her stand out like a sore thumb amidst the luxurious environment, but she didn’t act insecure or humbled. She was an optimist at heart

After a while, she finally managed to get the suitcase into the elevator. She panted from the exertion, but at least she could care for herself.

She got out on the 28th floor and headed to Unit 2801, Then, she opened the door. Yes, this was the place. The apartment was a spacious loft with two stories. It looked to be about 3300 square feet and had to cost above five million dollars.

It was decorated in shades of black, white, and gray, which was what youngsters nowadays liked. Farrah looked around the apartment, feeling like it was missing signs of life and spirit. It was so cold and sparse. She couldn’t replace any sign of the apartment having been lived in

There weren’t any ingredients or spices in the kitchen; the refrigerator was empty, too. She frowned at this.

If not for the fact that the keys could open the door, she would’ve suspected she was in an apartment’s showroom. Since this was going to be her home from now on, she wanted it to look lively and cozy. She shut the refrigerator door, grabbed her keys, and left.
