Chapter 19
I was furious, but Ethan seemed to be in a rather good mood. I silently cursed him before pushing him away angrily.
"A wise person knows when to step aside."
As I stormed off, I had no idea that every move between Ethan and me had been witnessed by Leah
After I got home, I took a shower and stood in front of the mirror. The person in the mirror had fair skin, and her features were as delicate as if they'd stepped right out of a painting each aspect carrying just the right amount of charm. Yet, there was a hint of red on my lips. My mind flashed back to the dimly lit corridor, to that cold-eyed young man who had kissed me so fiercely. My thoughts were in complete disarray.
Erhan didn't like me, not in my past life, and certainly
by not in this one. But why was he bothering with me? My hands gripped the edge of the sink, tightening more and more with each passing moment.
After a while, I finally pulled myself together, returned to my room, and lay down on my bed. The alcohol was taking effect, and even though I should have been drifting off to sleep, I couldn't.
I tossed and turned repeatedly, until, finally, I gave up. I got up, threw on a jacket, and went out to the balcony to wait for the sunrise.

After resting in a hotel for the night, the real estate agent I had made arrangements with came to pick me up the next morning to go house-hunting.

I didn't have strict requirements for the location. I was a homebody, after all. As long as there were shopping malls, hospitals, and parks nearby,

I rubbed my sore calves and nodded. "Let's take a look at the place you mentioned,"
Once there, the sales representative walked us through the features and selling points of their development. After circling the property a few times, I found it wasn't bad.
The price was within the range I was looking ar, and the surrounding amenities were good, but it was still slightly out of my budget.
