Inside the car, Ferris sat in the back seat.
Last night, he had sat there all night without receiving a single phone call from me.
As soon as I stepped out the door, he rolled down the window, his face showing exhaustion: “Get in.”
I thought he had come back specifically to confront me, so I didn’t get in.
“Whatever you want to say, say it here.”
There was a hint of haggardness between his brows: “Half a month left. We continue.”
I was stunned, somewhat surprised by his attitude, but eventually opened the car door and got in.
Ferris didn’t mention yesterday’s incident with Ashley, and I didn’t ask why he was only returning now.
The car started.
“Today we’re going back to Vargan Manor,” he said.
I was startled: “Go back to Vargan Manor for what?”
“There’s a festival in a few days.” He paused, then added, “Didn’t you always say you wanted to live at Vargan
Manor with me?”
I fell silent.
I had indeed thought about it once. Back then, I believed that as long as I moved into the Vargan family manor, he would treat me as his true partner.
But now, I no longer cared about these things.
Between us, there was no going back.
Last night, I had thought for a long time.
I already had the documents with his fingerprints. As for Linus, I had already asked Adrian to send people to scout, and once there was an opportunity, they would send someone to take him away.
My only concern was Terris’s obsession.
If he refused to let go, even if I escaped with Linus, we would eventually be caught and brought back.

So I could only nod obediently: “Alright.”
When we arrived at Vargan Manor, it was still raining, the gray mist like a depressing filter over the entire world.
I followed Ferris out of the car, looking at the endless manor, my chest tight with oppression.
Seventeen days left.
