Chapter 1462

Solomon sat by the bed momentarily before leaving the apartment, grabbing his coat on the way out. The next day. Ines was awakened by the ringing phone. It was the TV station calling to ask why she had not shown up for work. Glancing at the time, Ines realized it was already 10:00 A.M. She casually made up an excuse about being sick, and her colleagues, hearing her hoarse voice, did not suspect anything and told her to rest well. After hanging up, Ines looked at the empty bed beside her, feeling a sudden emptiness inside. As she got out of bed, her legs felt weak, almost causing her to stumble. Thinking back to last night's madness, Ines cursed Solomon in her heart. Did those women not satisfy him enough? He acted like a starving wolf. Ines took a moment to calm herself, leaning against the wall as she slowly made her way to the living room. Sure enough, she was alone in the house. She could not remember when he had left. Then she remembered Solomon had mentioned he had a business trip yesterday. It must be today. Ines sat on the couch, overwhelmed by a strong sense of loneliness. If it had not been for the discomfort in her body, reminding her that everything from last night was real, she would have thought it was all her imagination. After sitting on the couch for a while, the doorbell suddenly rang. Ines went to answer it, finding it was a delivery. Ines was puzzled. "Did you deliver to the wrong place? I didn't order takeout." The delivery person checked the order and address, confirming they were correct, and said, "It's ordered by Mr. Rowland." Ines understood; Solomon ordered it. She accepted the delivery, opened it, and found breakfast from a high-end restaurant; Caesar salad with smoked duck, soy milk, and everything else. All the dishes she loved to eat. Ines felt a twinge of sourness in her heart, a feeling she could not quite describe. She suddenly remembered the dishes she had made last night. They were all gone when she went to check in the kitchen. The dishes and utensils had been cleaned up. Ines thought Solomon must have thrown away those dishes. After all, the pampered Solomon was very picky and would not eat leftovers. She felt a little sad. She had not eaten anything last night, and now all those delicious dishes had been wasted. What a waste of food! Ines was indeed hungry now, having not eaten anything since last night. She opened the takeout and started eating. After finishing her meal, Ines returned to the bedroom to catch up on sleep. She had taken a day off. She slept until she woke up naturally, and it was already afternoon. She checked her phone and replied to two work messages. Caleb also sent her a message, asking about her health and if she had gone to the hospital. It was probably Shawn who told him when he knew she had taken sick leave. Ines replied, [It's just a little cold. There's no need to go to the hospital. I've taken medicine, and I'm much better. Thanks for your concern.] Soon, Caleb replied with more care, but Ines did not respond. Ines sat on the bed, hugging her knees and lost in thought. In her mind, she replayed the events of last night. She could not understand why Solomon refused to break up. He was not lacking in women, so losing her would not be a big deal. After thinking for a while, Ines felt it must be because the high and mighty Solomon had never been dumped by a woman before. He must have felt embarrassed when she took the initiative to break up yesterday, so he did not agree. It must be it. Having figured it out, Ines chuckled softly, leisurely getting up and ready. She had not finished the breakfast delivered in the morning, so she heated it and continued eating. After finishing her meal, Ines started packing her things. She had already packed up yesterday. Ines watered the succulents on the balcony, then returned to the living room, dragging her suitcase out of the apartment. She probably would not be coming back here again.
