Chapter 54: Jealousy And Apology
Rory shrugged. "I hope so... It’s like I am..."
She played with her food bowing her head without finishing her sentence. With everyone keeping a distance from her including Liam, she felt lonely. She lost her parents and there are very few people who loves her and she loves unconditionally. Losing even one of them hurt like hell.
She started wondering if they are leaving her for a reason. That she is someone despicable and undeserved of love.
Liam could not see her eyes. But he can say that she is not in a good mood. He didn’t know what he could do. He lost his appetite and stood up.
Rory picked up her phone to distract herself. Lately, she is getting depressed a lot and she didn’t want to slip up. She has a baby to look after now. She cannot devolve into the sad state she was in after her parents’ death.
Ian—her old friend from her homeland has become a very popular celebrity on a popular social media platform. He plays games, does live streams, and uploads other sorts of videos. He currently has almost 50 million subscribers. Although she does not understand his content much, she was following his channel closely to see when he reaches the 50 million mark.
They used to be very close back then. They practically grew up together. Since she had to leave abruptly, she lost contact with him. She found him a couple of years back when she was just scrolling through her phone.
She never thought he would become someone who plays games. He used to be an outdoorsy person. The two of them used to be together always and they knew the entire town like the back of their hands. How he got the habit of sitting on a chair, playing games—she didn’t know.
But he is a multi-millionaire now which should be good. She didn’t try to contact him after she found him as she wasn’t sure that he would remember her still. It has been years.
"Wow! Ian has gotten 49,989,349 subscribers already! He’d reach 50 million today!" Rory screamed with a smile. "I don’t want to miss it! Whoa! It’s already 49,989,876..90 now, " she said after refreshing.
