I stared at the photo, trying to find any signs that she had been forced.
However, she smiled brightly, with only Eric in her eyes, and looked so willing.
I could no longer find excuses to deceive myself. The pain in my heart surged like a tide, as if an invisible big hand was tightly squeezing my heart.
Eric, her high school sweetheart, was in a relationship that lasted only three months, but she remembered it for ten years and would even call out his name when she woke up in the middle of the night.
I asked and protested, but she always said lightly: "It's over a long time ago." Then she said no more.
I comforted myself, how could I fall in love with you in just three months? Maybe it was just her dream talk, without any basis and inexplicable.
However, now, I can no longer deceive myself. Gloria's actions have spoken for themselves.
There were still many blessing messages from relatives and friends in my phone. I smiled bitterly and sent a message directly to Gloria: "Cancel the engagement. I wish you a happy marriage."
After a long time, she replied: "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop it. If you make me angry, you will not end well~"
I didn't get angry but laughed instead. How could she be so calm and still pretend nothing had happened?
Is this the woman I have loved for ten years?
It's really - disgusting.
I didn't reply to her message anymore, I just deleted her and blocked her.
The red invitation card we wrote together was still on the table. I felt it was ironic, so I threw it on the ground and lit it on fire.
I don't understand why she can't forget her first love and spend ten years with me? I don't understand why she would do such a thing on the eve of her engagement?
I couldn't help but think back to my past with Gloria, but I found that she had never laughed so freely in front of me.
Gloria is beautiful and comes from a wealthy family. She is the only daughter in the family and inherited the family business as soon as she graduated.
Among her peers, she is undoubtedly the best.
And I, a poor boy, was able to pursue such a beautiful girl.
Everyone was puzzled, and even I felt that I was marrying above my station.
Gloria 's best friend also reminded me many times that the number of people pursuing Gloria could reach all over the world, and that she was condescending to me to help the poor.
I used to think that she only cared about Gloria, but now I think that neither Gloria nor her best friends have ever really valued me.
I really loved Gloria, and even when she asked me to give up my job and become a full-time househusband, I agreed without hesitation.
I just want to solve her worries so that she can concentrate on her career.
But we forget that if we give too much freedom, some people will become more and more demanding.
I don't care who has the upper hand in love, I only care if she only has me in her eyes. If not, I will give up this awkward relationship without hesitation.
There are only zero and countless cheating times. I don't want to be a cuckold who suspects his wife of cheating all day long, so I directly posted a circle of friends to cancel the engagement.
All of a sudden, messages and phone calls came in like a tide, but there was still no news of Gloria.
I'm afraid she is lying under Eric in a very charming manner at this moment.
After a long silence, I started to sort out Gloria's things.
She didn't want to live with me, so she didn't have much stuff and it only took me half an hour to pack it up and send it back to her house.
After doing all this, I finally fell on the bed with a sense of relief, and slept until noon the next day.
When the takeaway phone rang, Gloria's roar also reached my ears:
"Jason, what do you mean? Come out here!"
