I didn't say anything, just looked out the window quietly. Because I know that any words have their time limit. If Alexander's apology was spoken when I still loved him, I might be moved to tears. But now, I just feel irony.

In fact, when Donna first took my passenger seat, I suggested to find a designated driver. But he didn't think so, and even told me to be more generous and not to be so picky.

" Alexander , do you remember the first time I asked you to hire a designated driver?" I asked softly. Seeing him lost in thought, I interrupted him, "Forget it, there's no point in saying anything now."

In the end, the two of us went to dinner together. He asked the designated driver to take Donna to the hotel first. When the car drove to the hotel entrance, Donna's face was full of astonishment and unwillingness.

"Brother Alexander, is it because I'm in the way that you don't want to take me with you?" She asked aggrievedly, "Are you going to abandon me like my father did back then?"

This was Donna's usual trick, crying, making a scene, and threatening to commit suicide. Alexander would soften his heart every time and write off whatever she had done. But this time, Alexander was extremely determined to send her to the hotel and then left.

" Let's go eat hot pot," he suggested, and drove me to the hot pot chain we had mentioned before. As soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to ask me, " Laura , have you really forgotten what day it is today?"

I was slightly stunned, and an inexplicable emotion surged in my heart. Besides being my third day at work, was today a special day?

"Today is the seventh anniversary of our relationship," he reminded. "Seven years ago, you confessed your love to me in this hot pot restaurant. At that time, you said that you hoped we could eat hot pot together on every anniversary in the future."

I was silent. What's the point of saying this now? When he left me for another woman again and again, I had already lost confidence in this relationship.

Besides , he was the one who liked to eat hot pot from the beginning to the end. I was born in Y City, and I can't eat any chili. But in order to accommodate him, my taste gradually became the same as his. So in the final analysis, the sweetness he talked about was just my compromise with him again and again.

"Alexander, we've broken up," I said calmly.

He was stunned, then said with a hint of disbelief: "Don't be angry, Laura . I know you have always been strong, and I believe that you said breaking up was just an impulse."

" I admit that I was wrong to leave you alone in the hospital to find Donna that day , but that was because I believed you could take care of yourself. But Donna is different. She left her parents and came to this city for the first time, and she came to S City because of me , so naturally I have to take care of her more." He explained.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard what he said. "Alexander, do you have a bad memory? Didn't I come to S City just for you? You said I can arrange everything. Doesn't that prove that you are a useless man?"

Just then, Alexander's phone rang again. It was the familiar ringtone again, and it was Donna calling.

"Answer it. I will never interfere with your contact with your childhood sweetheart again." I said lightly.
