Everyone looked at each other, their eyes quietly turning red.
Raise their glasses one after another and clink them vigorously!
Wish you a bright future and may all your wishes come true!
After returning home from the party, Maggie received the ticket issuance information for the flight purchased by the company on her behalf.
Dear Ms. Maggie, Flight CG7399 from New York to Germany, which you were on, will depart at 17:20 on January 24, 2025. Have a safe journey.
That will be the day after tomorrow.
January 24th was the date when she officially left Jeffrey.
Maggie didn’t want to think anymore, so she simply packed up her things.
While tidying up, Jeffrey returned home.
He didn’t mention the board game club incident just now, and Maggie didn’t ask about it either.
However, Jeffrey clearly saw her packing her bags, but h
at all.
You were busy, I went to sleep.
idn’t react
He didn’t care what Maggie was going to do, nor did he know for sure that Maggie would never leave him, so he was confident.

Even though I knew Maggie would leave, I didn’t care at all.
Maggie was packing up when she suddenly found two forgotten theater ticket vouchers at the bottom of the suitcase.
1288 Vouchers
She remembered that it was a few months ago when she and Jeffrey won it at the theater entrance, which allowed them to watch a play for free with this ticket.
They had already agreed to go together, but when Amber returned to her country, no one remembered the plan anymore.
Maggie waved the ticket and called out to Jeffrey, “Let’s use this voucher tomorrow.”
Jeffrey casually said, “Okay.”
Maggie then took the ticket and placed it in the most prominent position on the table.
After watching the play, there was truly no more connection between them.
The next day, Maggie and Jeffrey went to the theater, where a performance of the classic play “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare was being staged.
The most classic scene in this play is the one spoken by the leading
actress.
She said, “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite
When Maggie watched this part, she was so engrossed that even her eyes became moist.
She couldn’t help but put herself in.

Her love was as boundless as the sea.
And…
Maggie couldn’t help but look at Jeffrey.
In the dimly lit theater, he was completely absorbed in the messages on his phone.
On the phone screen, the two words “Amber” stabbed Maggie’s heart: “What are you doing? I’m so bored, can you come and accompany me?”
Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.
Jeffrey quickly replied to the message, feeling a sense of something, he looked up to see Maggie’s calm face.
He asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is the play not good?”
Maggie shook her head and simply said, “It’s nothing.”
She looked back at the stage.
Heart said, maybe even mosquito blood can’t be counted as my own…
Maggie’s heart ached, feeling both ridiculous and sorrowful.
After the play ended, they walked along with the crowd to the theater
entrance.
Maggie knew that the reason he left in a hurry was to meet Amber, but she couldn’t help but speak up.
Let’s go home and have dinner. I bought a lot of dishes that you like to
eat.
Jeffrey, however, interrupted her without hesitation, saying, “No, I have something to do later.”

“Just a meal, it won’t take up too much of your time.”
Maggie spoke up, she just wanted to have one last meal with him, to put a period on this relationship.
Jeffrey was also unwilling.
His gaze was cold and indifferent, no different from every ordinary day in the past five years.
He said, “Next time, when I have free time, I will definitely accompany you.”
At that moment, Maggie finally found peace.
She also bid him farewell as usual, saying, “Okay, I got it.”
She watched as Jeffrey turned and walked away, impatiently hailed a taxi and disappeared from the scene.
She spoke softly, “There won’t be a next time, Jeffrey.”
After returning home, Maggie arrived at the door on time as agreed to pick up the items. She sent back all the clothes that she couldn’t bring to Germany to her parents‘ house.
They threw away the photos of the two of them and the couple items that had been neatly packed into the trash heap.
Before leaving, she took out a sticky note and left a bre…up gift for Jeffrey.
She posted on the refrigerator: “Vegetables are best eaten within three days. I have put the beef in the freezer for you. Remember to take it out to thaw before eating.”
She posted on the washing machine: “Your wool sweaters and suits

cannot be washed in the washing machine, they need to be taken to the dry cleaner. Different colors should not be washed together.”
She posted on the balcony: “The green plants on the windowsill need to be watered at least once a week, or they will dry up.”

When the pen stopped, the whole room was covered with yellow sticky notes without anyone noticing.
Maggie stared fixedly.
These five years, it was these sticky notes that recorded the traces of her love for him.
Jeffrey’s love for her was like a sticky note, once seen, it was torn off.
And this was also the last time she loved him.
There was only one sticky note left, and Maggie wrote the final sentence on it: “Jeffrey, have a happy breakup.”
She stuck this sticky note on Jeffrey’s tablet.
Everything is over.
Maggie walked out of the ‘home‘ where she had lived for five years, carrying her suitcase.
With a click, the door was locked shut, never to be heard from again.
