Because I Was an and He Threw Away 344

Chapter 344 Let It Out 

Overcome with remorse, Ethan couldn’t stop apologizing. “Sorry, it won’t happen again, I swear,” he blurted out, his voice laced with guilt. 

Nancy, however, turned her eyes away from him, her gaze falling on her fidgeting fingers. After a brief silence, she finally broke it, saying in a calm yet firm tone, “Ethan, I think we should take a step back from the marriage. Just for a while.” 

It was a noncommittal answer, neither a yes nor a no. 

Nancy figured that if something unexpected cropped up later, she could always say no. 

But if everything went smoothly, tying the knot with Ethan, a man blessed with wealth, good looks, and influence, wasn’t such a bad deal. 

Still, deep down, she felt there was more out there for her. 

Her heart’s desire was to be the center of every man’s universe, to have them fight over her affection. 

Ethan, upon hearing Nancy’s words, didn’t feel a twinge of unease. Instead, he felt a pang of self–reproach. 

He need for more time seemed so reasonable at that_omento

Without pressuring her into an immediate decision, he simply murmured, “Okay.” 

After their conversation, Ethan started the engine and drove off. 

Meanwhile, Emily, when the expected impact of a collision never came, fluttered her eyes open. 

Seeing the road clear, she gently eased off the gas. 

But as the speed dropped, the car approached a building in the blink of an eye. 

With no time to steer or react, she jammed on the brakes. Despite her efforts, the car’s momentum carried it into the building with a thunderous crash. 

The deafening bang made Emily’s vision go dark, and she felt on the verge of passing out. 

Fortunately, she emerged unscathed, though her insides felt like they’d been shaken up like a snow globe. 

Before Emily could gather her wits, her phone, wedged in a gap of the car, started ringing. 

She bent down, fumbling blindly until she finally grasped it. By

then, the call had ended. 

She assumed it was Vanessa, but to her surprise, it was 

Alexander. 

Just as she was pondering whether to call back, Alexander’s call came through again. 

After a moment’s hesitation, she answered. 

“Where have you been? Why didn’t you pick up?” Alexander’s anxious and annoyed voice crackled over the phone. 

Looking at the crumbling building in front of her, Emily replied coolly, “It’s all good.” 

“Tell me where you are right now,” Alexander demanded, his voice rising. 

Emily ignored the question. “I gotta go, Alexander. I’ve got something important to do,” she said. 

That was to find Vanessa. 

This only seemed to fuel Alexander’s anger. “Emily, do you really have to get on my nerves?” he snapped. 

Without a word, Emily was about to hang up the phone.

At that moment, Alexander threatened, his voice laced with a warning, “If you don’t tell me where you are right now, once I get someone to track your location, you’ll see what’s coming to you.” 

Despite the threat, his words lacked real bite. 

Looking at the small house that was starting to collapse, Emily was afraid of getting hurt. So, she quickly told Alexander where she was. 

Right after Emily gave the location, the small house crumbled completely. Dust and dirt rained down on the car’s hood. 

The windshield was smashed into a spider–web pattern by stones and bricks. 

She didn’t dare to move a muscle, fearing a second collapse. 

So, Emily just waited in the car for Alexander. 

After about ten minutes, Alexander drove up. 

As he saw Emily’s car almost buried under dirt and debris, his heart skipped a beat. 

Without a second thought, he stepped forward and started grabbing the stuff with his bare hands.

When he pulled open the car door, he saw Emily sitting there in the driver’s seat, looking lost. 

At the sight of Alexander, Emily couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer. Her eyes welled up, and tears rolled down her cheeks. 

Alexander’s heart ached. He bent down and lifted Emily out of the car. 

Holding her bottom with one hand, he gently stroked her back with the other. 

Meanwhile, he whispered softly in her ear, “It’s okay. Stop crying. I’m here.” 

The more Alexander tried to comfort her, the harder Emily cried. She even said in a trembling voice, “I thought I was gonna die.” 

As she sobbed, she wasn’t sure if she was crying because she’d survived or because of Ethan and Nancy’s wild escapades. 

Her heart was so full of things that it felt like a heavy weight, making it hard for her to breathe. 

At this moment, Emily just let it all out.
