She then rushed out the door.
The assistant glanced at the mess and shook her head, exasperated.
Kira had become increasingly erratic lately and often broke things.
She wondered if Kira had mental issues.
Kira rushed to the coffee shop, scanned the room, and spotted Horace sitting alone in a corner, sipping coffee leisurely.
She adjusted her hair and straightened her collar. Smiling, she walked gracefully over to him. Horace, you finally agreed to see me.
Since that night, Horace had been avoiding Kira.
Horace lowered his gaze, his face stoic. Please, have a seat.
Please, could I get a cup of cappuccino? Kira sat down opposite him, her voice trembling with shyness. Horace, did you ask to meet because youve changed your mind?
What Kira really wanted to ask was if Horace intended to leave Rita for her.
I have, Horace confirmed with a nod. So, let me make it clear to you.
Kiras heart raced with anticipation, feeling like she was in a dream.

Please, go on.
Dont come to me again, Horace stated firmly.

.
Kiras face fell.
Horace sighed, watching her reaction. We arent young anymore, Kira. One day, well be gone. Our children are grown, and its time for us to find peace. If you stir up trouble, it wont just affect us. Itll also bring shame to our children
No! I cant accept this! Tears streamed down Kiras face as she looked at Horace with despair. I cant accept it! That night, I knew you loved me, Horace! Ive spent decades enduring this pain, living for others. My time is running out, and I want to live for myself! I cant bear it any longer!
Kira took out a jade token from her pocket. It was a delicate white jade, but the carving was quite simple, which didnt match its inherent value.
She caressed it with an affectionate look. Horace, do you remember this? Its been so many years, but I still keep it.
Horace stared at the jade token, stunned and silent.
I still remember, Kira murmured. It was the birthday gift you had for me. You learned from a master and carved it yourself. You told me you wished for my safety and happiness. But you know what? The hardest part of my Life is not being able to be with you
Kiras words struck a chord with Horace. He muttered, Kira, let the past stay in the past
No! Kira suddenly grabbed his hand tightly, refusing to let go.
The past isnt gone, Horace. If we have the courage to pursue it, we can reclaim it and go back to how things used to be.
