He Mocked My Scar, So I Left Him to His Regret Chapter 07

*See the house?*

Lucia had put the house up for sale?

How was that possible? If she sold it, where would she live?

The Lockwoods would never take her in.

Did she really intend to cut herself off from Mooncrest-and from

him-completely?

It took him a long moment to find his voice.

“Are you sure you have the right place?”

The real estate agent glanced at his phone, confused, and read

the address aloud.

“Three-oh-six Aspen Lane. The seller is Lucia Vega. That’s right, isn’t it? The lock code she gave me worked.”

The address was right. The code was right. The name was right.

The house was legally hers. Since turning eighteen last month,

she had full authority to sell it.

Lucia had really left.

It was just a cheap plaster figurine.

But when Lucia found out, she had cried her eyes out.

At the time, Holden hadn’t understood why she was so upset, but he had understood that he’d hurt her.

The next day after school, he sat by the roadside in the sweltering heat and painted an exact replica.

Covered in sweat, he’d brought it to her and apologized with all the sincerity a thirteen-year-old could muster.

Lucia had carefully set the two figures side by side before she finally forgave him.

Later, she’d told him that on nights when she felt lonely, she would sleep in the living room. As long as she could see those two little figures, she felt like someone was there with her.

Now, she had left even them behind.

The scent of her in the house had faded so much he could barely

detect it. Even the wolf inside him fell silent.
