After the Betrayal, I Decisively Left the Small World

:

The system received my request and was silent for a moment.

[Host, you are an excellent employee of the Crossgate Agency, but three years ago, you exchanged all your points for the right to live in a small world. Out of humanitarian concern, this system is visiting you again. May I ask, host, are you sure you want to leave the small world?]

My heart was a mix of emotions, but in the end, I fiercely wiped away the tears at the corner of my eyes.

"Confirm! I request to leave the world!"

[After leaving the world, the host will need to work for the Crossgate Agency again for twenty years to repay the exit points.]

"I know! I want to leave!"

No matter what the system said, I only had one thought left in my mind.

I want to go.

I never knew I was a cowardly person, but today, I found out.

I couldn't face Daniel Grant directly, and I couldn't face the fact that the person I loved suddenly became so rotten overnight.

The man who once vowed to love me for a lifetime betrayed me and had an affair, even with... an illegitimate child about to be born...

My dream shattered.

I chose to escape.

Escaping doesn't solve the problem, but at least it allows me to never have to face it again.

The system was silent for another moment, then seemed to sigh.

[The request from former excellent employee Lily Walton has been confirmed, initiating small world exit procedure.]

[Countdown: Three days.]

[Host, cherish your remaining time.]

The system left after saying that, yet I smiled through my tears as if I had been reborn.

All around me are luxurious villas, splendid clothes, gourmet food, brand-name jewelry, everything one could wish for.

Except Daniel Grant is not here.

Today is my birthday, and he didn't keep me company.

Looking at the grandeur surrounding me, a phrase echoed in my mind.

"The story draws to a close, leaving only petty trifles."
