Chapter 1033 Callie, I Dont Want To Leave You (1/2)

Steven paused for a moment. He walked up to Carla and smiled bitterly. ”Okay, Callie, I will leave. Stop pressuring yourself.”

He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the tears that were streaming down her face.

”But, Callie...”

Steven's voice choked with emotion. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

”I don't want to leave you.”

He rested his head on her shoulder and inhaled her sweet fragrance. ”I gave up my dignity and put up with Lucia's tortures only to be with you. I thought that I could sweep you off your feet one day.

But now I realize that no matter what I do, I will never have you in my life. You don't have a place for me in your heart, do you, Callie?”

Steven stared at Carla as tears welled in his eyes.

He blinked his eyes a couple of times to stop the tears from falling. ”I don't blame you. It's not your fault. I'm stupid. I can't stop loving you. I shouldn't have met you in the first place. Gosh...” He groaned as if someone had taken his most prized possession away from him.

Carla took a deep breath and held his shoulders. ”What's done is done. We should pick ourselves up and move on.

Steven, you can find a new place to start over. Find yourself a new job and start a new life. The new atmosphere and people will take your mind off the things that are bothering you. You will forget me before you know it. Time will change everything, trust me.”

Steven averted his gaze and nodded.

The next day, Arthur's health seemed to be getting better. He was glad to have everyone around and was chatting with them happily. However, everyone knew that their happiness wouldn't last long. It was just a momentary recovery before he finally departed from this world. So they treasured every second they had with him.

Andrea and Sally spent most of their time with Arthur. Sally was telling him stories and making small craft works for him. She had no idea that her great-grandfather was dying.

Andrea was crying in a corner. She didn't have the strength to let go of her father. She had just reunited with him after a long time and never thought that she would bid goodbye to him this soon.

Later on, Eleanor walked in and everyone else in the room left.

It was midnight when the people outside heard a piercing scream from the room.

Arthur had slipped into a permanent sleep. It was a peaceful death.

Sadness prevailed in Wang Village and the entire Yu Sea City.

Even the sky was weeping for his death. There was a heavy downpour and it didn't stop raining until the funeral was over.
