Chapter 127
Jared's expression froze for a moment. My question had really struck a nerve.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned to look out the window and didn’t joke around withanymore.
Someone had already taken care of the plane tickets, and Jared was sitting in the VIP lounge, pulling out his
phone to reply
to messages.

It wasn't like before, when every the got busy, | just felt like | had nothing to do, always hoping he’d spare a
moment to talk to me, or that he’d need something | could help with.
My phone was full of work emails waiting for me. The hotel renovation was moving fast, and | was sure it
wouldn't be long before we'd get to see the place completely transformed.
| was busy typing away on my phone when Jared suddenly asked, “We're boarding soon. How much longer?”
| glanced at the time, put my phone down, and followed him onto the plane.
Upon watching his tall, lean figure ahead of me, a wave of emotions welled up inside me.
Maybe people really did need to keep themselves busy, instead of making someone their whole world.
In all six years of my marriage to Jared, this was actually the very first twe’d gone anywhere with just the

As soon as | got on the plane, | shut my eyes and pretended to sleep. Jared looked like he wanted to say
something, but | just didn’t want to hear it.

The plane was shaking and bouncing all over the place, and everyone on board was screaming.
| felt like | was about to die, so | just grabbed onto the armrests as tightly as | could, trying to push that feeling
down.
Jared seemed scared, too. His face was a little pale, and in the middle of all the shaking, he suddenly turned to
look at me. | couldn’t help but glance back at him.
“It’s okay. Don’t be scared,” Jared said, thinking | was too scared to speak. Maybe | looked pretty pale too,
because he suddenly reached out and grabbed my fingers.
| yanked my hand away, curling it into a fist, not wanting him to touch me.
Jared's eyes widened in surprise. That feeling of almost dying maderemember my previous life.
Even before my final moments, Jared hadn’t held my hand to seeoff. This was just a bit of turbulence. |
needed his comfort even less now.
Thankfully, after all that turbulence, we still landed safely and soundly at Showtown International Airport.
| didn’t know if it was because | pulled my hand away on the plane, but Jared stayed silent the rest of the way.

| ignored him. As soon as we got to the hotel, | turned to Jared and said, “I want to go out and look around by
myself. Is that alright with you?”
“Whatever,” Jared said coldly, still clearly upset. His words didn’t match his usual calm demeanor.
“Fine.” | turned and flagged down a taxi. As | got in, | saw Jared still standing at the hotel entrance, his eyes fixed
on me.
