“Let me explain…”
“No need.”
I cut him off.
“Adrian, five years ago, I gave up a chance at SpaceX for you.”
“But you—have you ever given up anything for me?”
“You haven’t. And you still wanted me to give up my career. Give up my life’s goal.”
“I stopped wanting this kind of one-sided, take-and-take relationship a long time ago.”
I hung up the phone directly.
Adrian called again. I declined.
He kept calling. I blocked him.

Adrian stared blankly at his phone. He couldn’t seem to believe this fact.
Clara overheard everything from the side. She spoke softly.
“Sorry… it’s all my fault…”
Her tears fell in big drops.
“Maybe you should go back to the US too. It doesn’t matter if I die here alone…”
She cried.
But she was also stealing glances at Adrian’s expression.
This time, Adrian didn’t comfort her. He was still lost in that conversation.
