Never Surrender - Chapter 7

---- Chapter 7 I frowned and wanted to hang up. Matthew seemed to have guessed what I was going to do and hurriedly added, "Don't hang up yet! I'll just say a few words. Rosie... Rosie and I are getting married." "Congratulations." My voice did not waver the slightest bit. Matthew was silent for a few seconds, seemingly a little uncomfortable with my indifference. He struggled to utter, "She's pregnant." I raised my eyebrows. This was beyond my expectations. It seemed Rosalie had spared no expense to marry him as soon as possible. "Congratulations again.

It's a double celebration." My calmness seemed to enrage him. "Jamie! Don't you have anything else to say? If you hadn't rejected me back then, the one now pregnant with my child and set to marry me would be you!" His shameless logic almost made me laugh indignantly. I said coldly, "Matthew, I've only gone on a blind date with you once. I've only met you a few times. Is it appropriate to say all this now?" ---- "L.." He was made speechless. "And don't call me again. Your marriage and baby have absolutely nothing to do with me.

I wish you both a long and happy life together." With that said, I hung up without hesitation and blocked his number. Blaze, sitting opposite me, looked up and glanced at me. Him again?" "Yeah." I put down my paintbrush, somewhat irritated. "Don't let irrelevant people affect your mood." He stood up and walked behind me, looking at my painting. "The light and shadow here are handled quite well." His voice was calm like a tranquilizer, instantly soothing my agitation.

I looked at him and asked almost without thinking, ' Blaze, why are you so nice to me?" His gaze shifted from the painting to my face. His eyes were deep, and his emotions were unreadable. After a long pause, he answered slowly, "Perhaps it's because I see in you a regret I don't want to see." I did not quite understand what he meant. He did not explain further, only saying, "Focus on your ---- art. There's not much time left before the exam." I nodded, suppressed my doubts, and threw myself back into my artwork. Days passed, and soon, it was time for the postgraduate entrance exam.

I walked into the exam hall, feeling calmer than ever. I performed very well over the two days of exams. The moment I walked out of the exam hall and looked at the clear blue sky outside, I felt a sense of relief. No matter what the result was, I had tried my best, and I had no regrets. The results would only be out a month later. During this time, I did not stay idle; I started taking on some freelance design work. Blaze introduced me to a client, a high-end dessert brand that wanted to design a new set of packaging.
