Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 657 Breakup Letter

Chapter 657 Breakup Letter

Hundred miles away, at the Salter’s home, Lainey took a couple of bites of her meal and then left.

‘I’m full.”

Jaydan noticed his daughter’s low spirits, but didn’t ask too many questions.

Of course, he knew the reason. Just a few days ago, he wanted Lainey and Roman to cut off contact completely. So, he left a resolute breakup letter, written as if it were from Roman, at his daughter’s doorstep.

The handwriting was deliberately imitated by him to prevent Lainey from contacting Roman. He confiscated Lainey’s phone and had someone watch her, not allowing her to leave.

The door to the room was tightly shut, and Lainey silently shed tears. In her hands, she held a diary which she had written herself.

Ever since she met Roman, her diary entries have been filled with more and more about him.

Upon opening the diary, the last page held that breakup letter.

There aren’t too many words, just a brief explanation of the reason for the breakup. It’s called a letter, but it’s more like a notification.

[Let’s break up. I’m sorry, I can’t give you what you want.]

She tore the paper apart in agony, tears streaming down her face.

Every inch of her skin ached with each breath, making it difficult for her to breathe. Despite the pain, she picked up the broken pieces, took out some tape, and painstakingly pieced them back together,

one fragment at a time.

After a long time, the letter was finally pieced back together.

Tears flooded down, splashing onto the letter paper. She cried so much that she couldn’t control herself.

Why, why give up like this?

Could it be because of that incident?

She covered her head with her hands, trying to stop herself from thinking any further. But she couldn’t do it; she just couldn’t.

That feeling of being caught and severely insulted, one after another, she had long felt unclean about herself, and it turns out Roman felt the same way.

She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked into the bathroom. She scrubbed her body vigorously, not stopping even when her skin turned bright red.

‘Why, why are you treating me like this? I’ve already thought of a way not to go abroad.”

Lainey was crying so hard that she could barely breathe. She wanted to call Roman, but she didn’t have her phone.

Inside the restaurant, Jaydan had just finished his meal when he heard the ringing of a phone. It was a call from Roman.

Jaydan cast a cold glance, then forcefully hung up the phone. In the past few days, Roman had called countless times, but Jaydan had hung up on him everytime.

He composed a short message and sent it directly to Roman.

[Please don’t contact me anymore. I’ve decided to go abroad, so let’s break up.]

Upon receiving the text message, Roman’s eyes turned red and he could no longer sit still. He stared at the computer screen, where the process of cracking the code was still ongoing, but couldn’t help himself. He shut down the computer and left the office.

The car’s speed soared to its maximum, like an arrow released from its bow, heading towards the Salter’s house.

In fact, he had lost contact with Lainey three days ago. However, Lainey had mentioned before that Jaydan didn’t want them to be in touch while at home, so he had been hesitant to look for her.

But now, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

Roman’s face turned frighteningly cold, as he couldn’t believe that this text message was sent by Lainey.

Upon ringing the doorbell at the Salter’s home, the door was opened by the bodyguard Jaydan had hired.

’Where’s Lainey?”

The two bodyguards exchanged glances and replied coldly, “Ms. Salter has already gone abroad. You can give up on that idea.”

“Do you recognize me?” Roman’s tone became increasingly cold.

Clearly, these two bodyguards were prepared for him; otherwise, how could they possibly know him?

He kicked open the door with one foot, and the two bodyguards couldn’t stop him.

The bodyguard stepped aside, and just as Roman was about to enter, Jaydan stood directly in front of him, blocking his way. ‘ What do you think you’re doing?”

‘I want to see Lainey.”

‘She’s already gone abroad, what do you want to do? Want to hit me as well?” Jaydan’s face darkened.

Roman shook his head in pain, his face pale, “I don’t believe it.”

‘What don’t you believe? Sending her abroad isn’t a recent idea; I’ve been working on it for a long time. Now, I’m just putting Lainey back on her original track.” Jaydan glanced at Roman with disdain. “And you were just a detour off that track, but now you’re gone.”

Roman took out his phone and dialed that number once again. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

The ringtone of the mobile phone emanated from Jaydan’s body, causing his face to darken.

Roman breathed a sigh of relief. “It seems that the text message wasn’t sent by her.”

“It’s pointless, Roman. Just leave. You’re not welcome in our home. Stay away from my daughter. I don’t care what you two have been through, but now I just want her to live a peaceful life, which you can’t provide. You still seek revenge and have so many enemies.” Jaydan’s voice grew colder and colder.

Roman’s originally cold expression began to soften. “I know I was wrong last time, and I will do my best to protect her in the future, so she won’t get hurt.”

Jaydan scoffed, “Easier said than done. Those enemies won’t stop hurting Lainey just because of your few words. You better leave now, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The four bodyguards behind Jaydan walked over, blocking Roman’s path.

Seeing his determined look, Roman lowered his gaze, “Alright, Mr. Salter, I’ll leave first.”

He turned around and left the Salter’s house, but instead of getting into the car, he waited for the front gate to close tightly. Then, he made his way to the back of the Salter’s home.

Lainey’s room was on the second floor, right at the back of the mansion. After surveying the surroundings, an idea came to mind.

Inside the bathroom, Lainey leaned tightly against the wall, as only the cold wall could give her a sense of calm.

Her arms, legs, chest, collarbone, and back were all rubbed red and sore, accompanied by a burning pain. She took out a bath towel and wrapped herself tightly.

Sitting by the bathtub, she was lost in thought.

Thwack!

In an instant, she wiped away her tears, stepped out of the bathroom, and realized it wasn’t someone knocking on the door, but rather, someone tapping on the window.

She approached with some suspicion, and as the figure outside the window became clearer, she found herself hesitating to move forward.

The person outside the window seemed a bit anxious, as if saying, “Hurry up and open it.”

She felt a slight panic and hurriedly went to open the window. As expected, it was Roman.

She took several steps back. “You, how did you get here?”

Roman felt a sense of relief, “Thank goodness I didn’t believe what your dad said. He told me you went abroad. Luckily, I climbed up here. But if you had opened the window any later, I would have fallen

down.”

Lainey took two steps back and wrapped her towel tightly around herself.

‘You should go,” she said.

‘What’s wrong?” Roman looked at Lainey in surprise, “Lainey, what’s going on? It’s me.”

It was only then that he noticed Lainey was wearing a bathrobe, her hair still damp.

‘Did you just take a shower?”

Lainey still refused to look up at him. “Don’t worry about me, just go.”

‘Wait a minute!” Roman looked at Lainey’s neck. The bathrobe couldn’t completely cover her collarbone, and the red, blood-like appearance was particularly noticeable.
