It seemed that in everyone's minds, spending eight years meant there had to be a result to justify that time.

But they all forgot that if it was not the right person, even eight more years would just be a waste of time.

Cutting losses in time was human nature.

That night, I waited at my desk until ten o'clock.

Connor didn't come, but instead, I received a notification on my phone about a transaction from the family card.

The amount was 1,314,520

In the past, I would also send him these special numbers as gifts.

He would either not accept them or return them, telling me, "Tara, we're not kids anymore."

But on the night he forgot about me, he sent Katie 1,314,520.

Doing that with another woman seemed to make him feel young again.

I opened the chat with Connor and sent a question mark.

Soon, he transferred the same amount of money to my account, with a note saying, [Wrong recipient].

That was fine.

I opened PayPal and canceled the family card.

Connor and I were not the kind of people who needed a family card.

When I required the service, I just wanted to bind us together.

I just didn't expect this kind of mistake to happen.

As I opened the door to the house, Connor was calling me.

We stood there awkwardly for a moment before he frowned and hung up, walking toward me in large strides.

He asked, "Where have you been? Do you know how dangerous it is to be out alone at night?"

I replied, "I've been waiting for you at the office."

I calmly stated the facts and changed into my slippers.

Connor was speechless.

He finally remembered that he had told me to wait for him at the office.

But after work, Katie insisted on having dinner with him, and he forgot about me.

However, the words "I'm sorry" were stuck in his throat.

After a while, he said, "Next time I forget, just call me."

I asked, "If I call, will you come?"

As soon as I asked this, we both froze.

I waved my hand dismissively, "I know you're busy, so I took a taxi home. Don't worry about it."

But Connor was unimpressed.

He said, "Tara, you seem different."

"Yes," I replied softly, afraid it wouldn't be convincing, so I added, "People grow. Arguing only makes us tired. I understand that."

He looked at me for a long time before finally nodding in agreement. "It's good that you understand. Go wash up and sleep."

I took a shower and came out, only to find Connor lying on the bed in the master bedroom.
