Farewell My Stepfather novel Chapter 39

She took a moment before calmly saying, “What you said, isn’t it you who said I can date? As long as that person isn’t you, anyone is fine.”

“And he’s great, not some ‘messy‘ person you think. I’ll be with him and when the time is right, I’ll bring him back to meet you guys.”

Paulette spoke slowly, surprisingly calm in her heart, no resentment, no

regrets.

She thought, she had really let go of Nelson.

So…

“Nelson, goodbye.”

With that, Paulette hung up the phone.

Nelson was still caught up in her words, and when she snapped out of it, there was no sound on the other end of the line.

His neck meridian twitched twice, making him instantly annoyed, almost smashing the phone out, “Damn girl! Addicted to hanging up on me?”

Paulette always stayed up late, why did she go to bed so early today?

The small ornaments on the table also disappeared without a trace.

Even the green plants by the French window were gone.

This house was empty and it made me feel anxious.

Nelson didn’t know how long he had been standing there. He closed his eyes heavily, the headlight shining on him, casting a lonely dark shadow below.

Suddenly, he looked up at the upstairs.

“Paulette!”

The empty house seemed to still have echoes.

Nelson took a few steps upstairs, Paulette’s room door wasn’t closed at all. He pushed it open and it was pitch black and empty like a big hole,

swallowing everything up.

His eyes turned red, and he turned on the light.

No…

He’s not here.

The clothes in the wardrobe disappeared out of nowhere.

“Paulette! Don’t play this boring game with me, get out!”

Nelson searched through every room in the house, but still couldn’t find
