At dawn, I was awakened by the ringing of Bella Smith's cell phone.

"Alex, are you awake? I ordered your favorite dumplings for you. I have something to do at the company today, so I can't go back. Let's take the wedding photos another day."

"You don't have to take what happened last night to heart. I've already apologized to Steven on your behalf."

"Okay," I replied.

Bella Smith didn't seem to expect that I would agree so readily, and added awkwardly: "A wedding is just a face-saving project. We have such a good relationship, we don't need to use these to prove anything. Just keep it simple."

"Okay." I responded again.

So , this wedding became unusually simple. There was no marriage certificate, no wedding photos, no MC, and even no groom. After I hung up the phone, I heavily crossed out the "wedding photo shoot" schedule on the calendar with a marker.

Bella Smith is very busy with work and rarely has time to spend with me. Therefore, I wrote down all the things I wanted to do on the calendar, hoping to realize all my wishes at once during the wedding. However, reality has disappointed me again and again, and my wishes have been covered by thick markers, becoming an unspeakable regret.

I no longer have any hope for Bella Smith . After submitting my resignation to the company, I said goodbye to several colleagues who had a good relationship with me. In the next few days, I contacted my friends here one after another to inform them of the cancellation of the wedding.

"In fact, we all guessed it..." My friend reluctantly opened Bella Smith's Moments and showed it to me, "During this period, Bella Smith has been with Steven."

"People who are not familiar with him think that person in his circle of friends is you, but we recognized you at first sight."

Bella Smith 's Moments had never posted photos of me, but now they were all filled with Steven 's back. They went to the amusement park, the bridal shop, and the beach together. She did not hide her love for Steven , but she chose to block me.

My friend looked at me worriedly, but I smiled calmly: "It's okay, I don't care anymore."

I looked out the window at the busy streets and said to myself: In a few days, I will leave here forever.

When Bella Smith finally showed up after not coming back for many days, I had no reaction. Her heart was no longer with me, and there was no need for me to feel sad for her.
