The window of the wedding room reflected two familiar figures, hugging each other tightly, which hurt my eyes. I kicked off my leather shoes in anger. Although I loved the pair of shoes Bella Smith gave me as an engagement gift, they were the wrong size and my feet were in unbearable pain. At this moment, I would rather walk barefoot than wear them again.
I dialed the familiar overseas number and told my father my decision: "Dad, I won't get married. I want to find you."
After a moment of silence, my father softly agreed: "Okay, Dad is old, and this family business will be handed over to you sooner or later. The sooner you come, the sooner you can adapt."
I responded with a sob, and I heard my father's sigh from the other end of the phone: "I thought that child was different... I didn't expect that he would follow the old path of your mother and me. Alex, don't cry, you are still young. A man's world is not only about marriage and children, but also his own career. Think it through, Dad will wait for you."
Once upon a time, I also thought Bella Smith was different. She was a leader among strong women, but she was clean, gentle and polite. She kept a polite distance from all boys except me. Even after she became successful in her career, she never had any scandals. However, at the engagement party, she saw Steven who came uninvited , and everything changed.
For the first time, she broke the wine glass out of control, and for the first time she got angry at me for a small matter and left me alone on the side of the road. If Bella Smith saw someone else, I might think that all this was just a misunderstanding and be willing to give her another chance. But the man in the room was Steven - the Steven who bullied me for more than 20 years , the Steven who took everything from me , the Steven I could never forgive .
The moment I saw Bella Smith take Steven home on her own initiative , I completely gave up on this woman in my heart. However, for some reason, my hand still turned on the surveillance at home uncontrollably. In the surveillance video, Steven was lying in our wedding room wearing my pajamas, and Bella Smith, who never did housework and disliked my drinking and not loving myself , actually took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook him a hangover soup.
Steven looked up and asked her: "A substitute, you really married him ?" Bella Smith remained silent, just bent down to rub Steven's feet. Steven continued: "You don't need to say it, I know that you did all this to be angry with me. What kind of engagement party is it just to force me to show up. You can't forget me at all. This room is decorated in the style I like, and the wedding ring you chose is also the style I like. The cake has our initials on it, and even the shoes on his feet are all those I don't want."
As he said, Stev en put his feet on Bella Smith's chest. "In fact, you have always loved me." Bella Smith remained silent. After a moment, she suddenly threw herself into Steven's arms and expressed her love with a passionate kiss. Seeing this, I was already in tears.
I recalled every little detail of our ten years of love. Every time I wanted to kiss her, she would turn her head away indifferently. I thought that was her shyness, but I didn't expect that she just gave her most passionate love to Steven. For ten years, she slept with me in the same bed, and we were in love, but in her heart she was loyal to her white moonlight.
I took a deep breath and prepared to leave this sad place. However, Bella Smith came downstairs and called my name.
