Chapter 10

"Melody, you've really disappointed me."

"How could you drag my parents into this, disregarding their hard work, just to win me back?"

"If you truly cared about me, you'd stop bothering my family and friends."

"Melody, wake up! It's time you learned to face life on your own!"

I finally lost control, unleashing all the emotions I'd been suppressing for so long.

"I..."

Melody's body suddenly trembled, then with quivering lips, she buried her face in her hands and began to sob.

"Whether as a former lover or as a brother figure, I'm begging you, please stop disrupting my life."

With that, I turned away resolutely.

"I'm sorry... Draven..."

Behind me, I heard Melody's heartbroken cry.

After that, Melody completely disappeared from my life.

My days finally returned to normalcy.

Work was going smoothly, and in my free time, I eagerly participated in various social activities, making many like-minded friends.
