Seeing me turn around, she subconsciously let go of Steven's hand. "Steven drank too much tonight. He is your brother. I was worried that it would be unsafe for him to walk on the road alone, so I brought him home." "He is a good man who knows his limits. He was afraid that you would misunderstand and insisted on leaving first."

Bella Smith, who is taciturn, seemed to have endless things to say when she mentioned Steven , and every word she said was to defend him. I looked at the woman in front of me and suddenly felt strange. Obviously, I was her childhood sweetheart who grew up with her. Obviously, I was her fiancé who had accompanied her in starting a business for ten years. Why did I end up being a substitute ?

I held back my heartache and took a deep breath and said, "He is not my brother. He is just the mistress born by a mistress." After hearing what I said , Bella Smith suddenly got angry: " Alex! How could you say such vicious words to Steven ? Apologize to Steven quickly !" " No wonder you were abandoned by your parents since you were a child. No wonder everyone dislikes you. I hate your sarcastic look. You deserve no one to love you !"

As if she was afraid that I would hurt Steven, Bella Smith pushed me to the side of the road and protected him. The gentle moonlight sprinkled on Bella Smith 's face. The nervous look overlapped with the little figure in my memory. Many, many years ago, when we were still children, Bella Smith also protected me in front of me like this.

At that time, my mother cheated on me and got pregnant with someone else's child, so she forced my father to divorce me in order to be with her mistress. My father went abroad in anger and I became a superfluous person in the family. Every time Bella Smith heard us quarreling next door, she would rush over to protect me. She said, " Alex, you are the best person in the world. Even if no one wants you, I will always love you."

When I grew up, I always kept Bella Smith 's words in my heart. I worked hard to make money to get rid of my bad family of origin and build a happy family with her in my heart. But when I mentioned this, she would always frown and say indifferently, "Children's words are innocent."

But now that Steven has appeared, she doesn't even say such euphemistic words as "children speak without restraint" to me. She only said "you deserve no one to love you" and stabbed the most painful wound in my heart. I turned my head away and didn't want to look at her again, but my eyes couldn't help but redden.

Bella Smith 's eyes trembled slightly. I don't know if she realized that she had said too much or noticed my bleeding feet. She sighed and said, "Tonight I will treat you as a drunken nonsense..."

"There will be no future." I said lightly.

"What ?" Bella Smith was confused and wanted to continue asking, but suddenly she saw Steven running away in tears. She no longer cared about the questions in her heart and hurriedly chased after him. She walked too fast and didn't notice that the star necklace in her pocket fell off.

I picked up the necklace on the ground and remembered the small star tattoo on Bella Smith's left chest. All the details that I ignored were connected at this moment. After all, childhood sweethearts can't resist the arrival of the sky. The so-called ten years of love turned out to be just my wishful thinking.

In this case, there is no need for me to struggle for a woman who is not worth it. When I turned around and went home, I received a message from my father. He booked a flight ticket for me to go abroad, and the time was exactly the day of our wedding in half a month.

The wedding countdown in the living room has now become my departure countdown. I threw away all the wedding room decorations and couple supplies with a bitter smile. It is God's will that I use this last half month to say goodbye to everything in my past.
