Chapter 493 - To cancel the episode? (1/2)

”I know, mom,” Ryn replied. She knew her mother was right. Compared to last time, it was rare for her to question his real feeling. She sighed.

”Good. Stop overthinking. Stop being scared. You deserve all the happiness,” her mother reminded.

”Yes, mom.”

The conversation between the mother and daughter ended when her mother needed to help her father with something. Ryn let out a heavy sigh as she clutched her phone on the table and stared at the white wall. Was she that obvious? Yes, she admitted she was scared but she was learning to overcome this feeling.

Her mother was right. She should stop being so afraid to have this happiness. Jeremy hurt her once upon a time but despite the pain, she still survived, right?

She sighed again. Her eyes landed on the cold steak. She no longer has the appetite to finish it even though it was her favourite.

She stood up and walked to the gym. She actually planned to have a short exercise session hence she played the movie earlier, completely forgetting that once she started eating, she would forget about everything else.

Just like she expected, the movie ended. She pursed her lips and switched the television off.

She looked at the clock and made up her mind. She quickly looked into the box and took out one of the caps. Then, she went to retrieve her mobile phone before she walked to the door.

She needed to go out to calm herself.

She looked up in the sky as she used her right hand to shield her eyes from the shining sun. She took a deep breath and started to run.

It was better running outside than on the treadmill.

Why did she decide to have a gym anyway when she still ran outside?

She took the chance to check on the neighbourhood. So far she was liking this place.

She decided on a not too fast not too slow pace as she went around the place following the pedestrian trail. She did not stop until she reached the medium-sized playground.

She stopped as she panted and smiled. This neighbourhood seemed... empty. She did not bump into anyone. Maybe because of the time?

She took out her phone and checked on the time. No wonder... it was time for work for the a.d.u.l.ts and school for the kids.

She spent almost ten minutes basking under the sun before she remembered that she still had to do something later on. She checked the time again and decided might as well take a picture for her daily upload. Besides, she could not take a picture when she was with Jeremy. It was after all a secret from Mika and no one should know about it, especially Mika.

It was after all a surprise for her wedding.

She stood up and looked down with her camera application opened. She

Click. Click.

She checked the picture and was satisfied with the result. She then lifted up her head, along with her phone to take a few photos of the blue sky.

Click. Click.

Instead of posting only one photo that she found best, she posted the second of both sets. She did not find anything wrong with the other two photos. It was just a whim of her to do that. She only put a caption 'A Wonderful Day Today'.

She kept the phone back into the pocket of her tracksuits and jogged back to her new home. All her frustration has gone after the short exercise she had.

She just reached her home and dropped her phone into the small bowl Mika put on the coffee table when it rang. It was Jeremy.

”Hello my love,” Jeremy greeted cheerfully.

”Hello, J” Ryn replied. She sat on the cushion, well, more like sitting on her folded legs. She was still exhausted from the running and was planning to have a short nap before meeting Jeremy this evening.
