Chapter 144 Torn Between Freedom And Fate

• The rest of the drive was quiet. Kate was worn out from driving, and I was overwhelmed just hearing Michael’s name. The sunset was stunning, but it didn’t lift my spirits at all. For the first time, I felt that maybe freedom wasn’t as sweet as I thought.
• There was this weird emptiness inside me, like I’d left something behind, something important. It felt like I was a kite, flying farther and farther away, but someone else still held the string.
• As we drove on, I changed out of my red dress, wiped off my makeup, and slipped into my favorite comfy clothes. But even then, I couldn’t relax. I just leaned against the passenger seat, staring out the window as the sky turned darker, feeling my heart sink along with it.
