Early the next morning, I opened my eyes and saw Harrison standing by the bed and putting on his clothes. I turned over in a daze and muttered, "Do you want to go to work?"

"... I have something to deal with." He paused for a moment and said.

Then I suddenly opened my eyes. This is my home! Last night, the two of us lay in my bed for a whole night. It turned out that this was not a dream!

"What's wrong with you?"

I turned to look at Harrison and said in a daze, "I just realized that this is my home now." Hearing my words, Harrison didn't react for a moment. He looked at me and frowned, "Don't you need to go to work today?"

"I'm on leave today. I have something to do." At this moment, I was wondering if I should tell Harrison about me going to the real estate bureau.

But if he said it, would he think that our family had too many things to do? And maybe he would feel uncomfortable about his mother handing over the property ownership certificate to Callen? After all, in my opinion, Harrison's attitude toward Callen was worse than mine.

But it didn't take long for Harrison's phone to ring. It was probably the driver who urged him. After hanging up the phone, he said, "If you can't solve it, wait for me to come back. Don't take it all by yourself, understand?"

"I know. Don't worry." I smiled and nodded.

He lowered his head to kiss me, and I immediately covered my mouth when I realized it. "I just woke up and didn't brush my teeth. I can't kiss."

Harrison's expression softened when he heard my explanation. He rubbed my messy hair helplessly and kissed my forehead. "Don't think too much. I will solve the problem."

I didn't say anything but just nodded.

When he left, there was only me left in the room. Looking at the closed door, I felt empty in my heart, as if my heart was missing a piece.

I didn't think about it for too long. I covered myself with the blanket and lay back on the bed. Actually, I didn't know what he was talking about, nor did I take it to heart. My intuition told me that it was Abbie's matter. After all, between Harrison and me, Abbie was the most involved.

Some people said that women were shortsighted. After this incident, it was undeniable that I was short-sighted. If I had asked her earlier, nothing would have happened.

I got up and rushed to the Real Estate Bureau before nine o'clock. I didn't open the door when I went there. Maybe there were many places recently to announce the demolition. When I went there, there were already ten or twenty people in line. If it weren't for the need to figure out the problem of the house, I would have left immediately.

It was really unbearable for ordinary people to wait here in such a cold day. And what was important was that I felt colder before breakfast, and my feet were cold.

Seeing that there were people selling egg cakes not far away, I thought about it and thought that it should not be a problem to buy one. There was an auntie in the front row. I said hello to her and then went to buy it.

When I came back, the team was extended again, at least one or two times. I suddenly felt lucky that I came early today, or it would be dark. As a result, when I wanted to stand back, some people immediately began to be dissatisfied.

"We're all in line. What's wrong with you interrupting us in private?"

"Everyone is slowly lining up on such a cold day. Why don't you behave yourself as a young man?"

The sound of blaming me came one after another. I explained to them, "Sorry, I just went to buy egg cakes. I was in line here at the beginning. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in front and behind me."

It was better for the people around me to testify for me, so I didn't fall into an awkward situation.

But what I didn't expect happened. After hearing this, those people didn't accept these explanations. Instead, they kept whispering to themselves in a low voice, saying what the young people were like. The young people had no moral quality and only knew to cut in line. They didn't consider such things for older people.

There used to be similar news on the news, generally like taking a bus to keep a seat or something, but I didn't expect that one day it would happen to me. I, who had always been used to small things, stood where I was and pretended not to hear anything, thinking that I wouldn't say anything for a long time.

It was a pity that my thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was not like this. Even if I didn't speak, I was still blaming her. Finally, the eyes of the people around me were fixed on me. I had no choice but to leave the team and stand at the back.

In this way, things were completely over. The first dozen or so people came to me, but now they directly turned into dozens of people. When they arrived at me, it was already afternoon. "Hello, is there anything I can do for you?" the staff asked.

I took out the things in my bag and said, "Our house will be demolished, but the property ownership certificate is not in my hands. My mother prepared it before, but my mother unfortunately passed away this year. How should we deal with this situation?"

After that, he asked the staff to help me check the property ownership certificate. The result was that the property ownership certificate had been done a few years ago. It was probably the year when I married Callen. The staff also said that I must take the property ownership certificate.

"Otherwise, if the owner of the property ownership certificate changes the real estate, it will have nothing to do with me."

After hearing this, my legs went limp. I thought that there might be no houses in the future. The house now was not only the only memory of my mother and me, but also the last place for me to live. If it was someone else, I could still replace a way to get it back, but if it was really Callen who took the property ownership certificate, I was completely uncertain.

When I went to replace Callen that day, he had already settled everything. He said that he didn't take the property ownership certificate at all, nor did he have any idea about our house. Now things have become like this, I really don't know whether I should believe him or not.

I went back to the company in a daze. As soon as I sat in my seat, Louie came over and asked, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

"But it seems that you are not in a good state. If you really can't do it, you can ask for leave," he continued.

There was an inexplicable impatience in my heart. I felt that he was wandering in front of me when he had nothing to do. He had already said that he was fine, so I continued to ask. I frowned and looked at him. "I said he was fine, but you kept asking. Am I not clear

enough?"

"If you're in a bad mood, you don't have to care about me. Just let me be alone. I was very annoying, but you kept asking me. Do you know that I'm very uncomfortable? There are still so many things I haven't dealt with at work. Can't you go to work? Can't you let me be quiet for a while?"

After venting my anger, Louie stood beside me for a long time without saying a word or leaving. Sitting in my seat, I calmed down and suddenly regretted what I said just now.

I turned my head and wanted to say something, but I saw the surprised eyes of my colleagues looking at us.
