Back then, he had promised, as a responsible boyfriend, to provide her with a sense of security, allowing her to
check his phone anytime, anywhere. At that time, she was naive and never took advantage of this offer.
Now...
Renee shifted her gaze, her face aligned with the screen as she gently swiped her finger. -
Toph had spent a considerable amount of time in the restroom. He splashed cold water on his face, attempting to
temporarily clear his cluttered mind.
To be honest, his feelings for Renee had become quite complex. Guilt had overtaken love, and fear had surpassed
pity. It seemed impossible to revert to their previous relationship.
He even felt apprehensive about encountering her, fearful of receiving her messages, and terrified of hearing her
calls.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, he couldn't completely remove her from his life. His greatest fear was Renee attempting suicide again
because of him. He dreaded carrying the weight of that heavy burden on his conscience for the rest of his life.
Toph took a deep breath, dried his face, and left the restroom. As he reached the private room's entrance, he put
on a cheerful and natural smile. "Renee!"
Unexpectedly, he was met with Renee's intense gaze upon pushing open the door.
Toph couldn't help but tremble. "Renee... what's wrong?"
Renee stared at him, her eyes concealing sharp daggers as she coldly smirked. "Toph Hamerton! How much longer
do you intend to deceive me?"
"What?"
Without warning, Renee slammed the phone onto the table.
Toph froze. His chat history with Arya was displayed on the screen!
His mind buzzed, and the entire world went blank.
He stared at Renee in disbelief. She had never gone through his phone before, and he had never considered
deleting the messages with Arya after their conversations since he had a clear conscience.
"Renee, let me explain..."
"So, you've still been in contact!" Renee shouted hysterically, "You even sent her drafts of your drawings?"
"Yes, I sent her drafts of my drawings!" Toph's voice quivered slightly. "But I don't think there was anything
inappropriate about it!
"Renee, I simply enjoy drawing and playing games. Why do you insist on making me study those books?"
"Toph!" Renee's face contorted in fury. "You're truly heartless!"
"Renee..."
Toph hurried over to grab her shoulders, desperately explaining, "I-I only discussed comics with Arya! And... my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcomic serialization is doing well now.
"Arya said she has potential publishers and even adaptation opportunities for me! Please trust me, Renee. I can
achieve something significant through my art!"
"Stay away from me!" Renee yelled. "Toph, why did I not realize you're the kind of person who speaks differently to
my face and behind my back?"
"I'm not!"
"I can give up my life for you! Is this how you treat me?"
Toph froze, his ears ringing as if countless insects were buzzing.
"I can give up my life for you, so you must treat me well!
"I can give up my life for you, so you must listen to me!
"Otherwise, you're heartless. If I die one day, it will be because of you!"
Toph felt as though he had returned to the nightmares he faced every night. His head suddenly throbbed, and he
shouted before running out of the private room.
