It was a done deal and regret or not would not change the fact that she had to leave.
After a long time, General Palmer said, “I have asked George to escort you to the handover location. The day after
tomorrow, let George take you on a journey.”
Kelly knew she could not argue with him,
so she had no choice but to nod.
As soon as she walked out of the study, she saw George standing at the door. He seemed he had something to say.
“What?” Kelly asked.
A flash of panic flashed in George’s eyes as he said, “Kelly, why did you throw all the things I gave you into the recycle station?”
Kelly was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the letters and gifts they exchanged. In the

General Palmer once hired a nanny to take care of the two of them, but the nanny threw away Kelly’s letters without asking. Kelly hurriedly ran out to look for them that night and spent a long time before she found the discarded things one by one. When George knew about it, he was so angry and fired the nanny on the spot.
However, today, Kelly did not care anymore. “Well, those things took too much place, so I threw them out. Besides, there is no point in keeping those anymore.”
George stared at Kelly’s face. He was afraid, he would miss a flicker of her emotion. Unfortunately, he realized that Kelly’s expression did not change at all during their conversation.

George did not know why he felt depressed and was a little out of breath. He wanted to question her but didn’t know what to say.
At that exact moment, Amanda walked out of the house. Then she said, “George, don’t be so cruel to Kelly. She only did it just to get your attention.”
After listening to Amanda’s words, George felt his nervousness was gone and the expression on his face turned into doubt. He then sighed, “Kelly, do you know that doing this will only make me more disgusted!”
Kelly said calmly, “You’ve misunderstood me. That’s not what I mean.”

“Kelly! What are you doing?” George yelled and subconsciously rushed forward to put out the fire, but Amanda hugged him tightly from behind.
Kelly looked up and her eyes met George’s eyes straight on, then said calmly, “If you don’t want to see anything, burn it and it will be over.”
The cardboard box that was in the yard gradually burned to ashes. Meanwhile, George felt that something was being torn away from his heart.
Perhaps out of revenge, George did not have any qualms about showing off his intimacy with Amanda in front of Kelly. Yet, Kelly did not care. She did not even look at him.
Amanda even asked her specifically about her thoughts on the decoration of the new house and she really gave some practical suggestions.

Soon, it was time to head to the satellite research base. The night before, George knocked on Kelly’s door for the first time.
“Kelly,” he said. “Tomorrow, I will drive the specially recruited researchers to the Ten Thousand Satellite Research Base. I will bring some interesting things back to you then.”
Kelly smiled lightly and replied, “Okay.”
Early the next morning, she packed her things and got into the car early.
