He Abandoned Our Wedding, I Destroyed His Life Chapter 11

It was late when my flight landed in Boston.

My parents, who usually went to bed early, were waiting for me right at the airport exit.

The moment I saw them, I hurried over and threw my arms around them.

“Mom. Dad.”

My father patted my head.

“You’re home. That’s all that matters.”

In fact, it felt like a weight had been lifted.

For the first time in years, I was living for myself.

If I could make a name for myself in New York, I could do it again in Boston.

Three months later, I officially passed my probation.

My parents were ecstatic and cooked a celebratory dinner at home.

“I knew you could do it.”

Passing probation at their firm was no small feat.

My mother had just placed the last dish on the table when the doorbell rang.

Thinking nothing of it, I got up to open the door, only to find Matteo standing on the other side.

“Adriana…”

Behind me, my mother called out.
