ive days before my scheduled departure, I submitted my resignation to the hospital.
Back then, I’d given up my chance to further my medical studies just to be with Dante. To be near him, I chose to become an attending physician at a hospital in the bustling city of Manshore.
My colleagues were shocked to find that I wanted to resign.
“Why are you suddenly resigning, Nina?”
“You were handing out your wedding invitations just a while ago. Does this mean that you plan on becoming a full-time housewife?” one of them teased.
With a document folder in hand, I smiled faintly and shook my head. “Nope. The wedding’s been canceled.”
…
When I got back to the house, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Dante and Isobel sitting on the couch. Dante, whom I hadn’t seen in a week, was busy in conversation with her.
When he saw the document holder I was holding, he asked, “What’s that?”
“Just some unnecessary documents. I brought them back to get rid of them,” I lied.
Nodding, Dante looked around the house before remarking, his expression puzzled, “I was only gone for a week. Why do I feel like a lot of things in the house have gone missing?”
After storing the document folder securely in the bedroom, I calmly replied, “I got rid of some unnecessary things lying around.”
It looked like Dante had more to say, but Isobel spoke up.
“Nina, Dante really put a lot of effort into accompanying me on his trip. I’m also really thankful you agreed to let him do the wedding photoshoot with me and fulfill a dream of mine.”
I detected a hint of smugness in her voice.
