Love fades
1/13
Chapter 1
The night before my wedding, I, Katrina Roberts, received a wedding dress that didn’t fit my body.
Kevin Blunt, who had been my boyfriend for seven years, snatched it from my hands with a frown and said indifferently, “It’s not for you.”
The next day, his childhood sweetheart, Lindsay Palmer, tried it on, and it perfectly fitted her.
While looking at her with affection, Kevin said to me without even turning his head, “Don’t blame her. She just likes wearing beautiful outfits.”

Then, he didn’t even come back home on our wedding night.
So, I went to the hospital to abort the
fetus in my womb and called the HR
from Kevin’s competitor, Rachel Gill, and accepted their offer.
“Rachel, I’ll be coming to work next week,” I said.

After pressing the sending button, I felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Kevin hadn’t come back home for a whole night and just texted me as if he just discovered that he still had a wife.
Kevin: [Do you wake up?]

Without receiving my reply, he texted me again.
Kevin: [Lindsay smeared the wedding dress yesterday. She didn’t mean to. Remember to take the dress for dry–cleaning when you wake up.]
As expected, he contacted me for Lindsay.
I blacklisted him and called the most renowned divorce lawyer around town, Max Groves.
“Do you take a divorce case involving a marriage that just lasts one day?” As soon as I spoke that out, I couldn’t help but mock myself realizing that my seven–year affection for Kevin ended up in embarrassing vain.

Max was apparently astonished and could
only say, “Sure. Can you tell me the details about your request?”
The conversation with the lawyer continued until noon when Kevin, who didn’t even take the groom’s suit off, cracked the door of my room open.
When seeing me, he said nothing but asked with a frown, “Why didn’t you reply to my text?”
In fact, I anticipated his question, as I always replied to him almost within a second after he texted me.
During all these years of our relationship, I could only get a few words from his text reply.

The few times he texted me on his own initiative, it was all for Lindsay.
Hanging up the phone, I said

perfunctorily, “I got up too late to see your messages.”
Kevin didn’t seem to give a damn about my response and put his legs on the table after sitting beside me.
Then, he immersed himself in his cell
phone with a hint of a smile.
Obviously, he was texted Lindsay.
Without even looking up, he ordered, “Can you massage my shoulders? I feel so tight around there.”

He probably didn’t pay attention to what I just said.
Tilting my head, I suddenly noticed a kiss mark on his neck and felt so sick.
No response from me irritated Kevin as he rubbed the skin between his eyebrows and said, “Are you not going to do what I say forever? Remember you’re an adult, not a kid, so stop being particular about all these trivial matters and…”
The last half of his speech was interrupted as I stood up.
“Tell me which part is tight,” I said calmly.
Kevin stopped grumbling for a second. He was about to speak something again when he glimpsed the floor mirror opposite the
Chapter 1 sofa.

Seeing my fingers placed near the striking kiss mark on his neck, he bounced up from the sofa as if getting an electric shock.
As he stood up unnaturally, Kevin said something to justify his weird behavior, “Alright, you don’t have to massage me. I brought you lunch. Let me heat it up for you, okay?”
After he grabbed his phone and fled into the kitchen, I raised my head and saw my ashen face in the mirror.
The pain of abortion still lingered in my body, but he didn’t have the slightest clue that our kid had been aborted.

Pressing my lips, I clicked on my Instagram and saw a picture enclosed with location information posted by Lindsay.

It was taken in an upscale seafood restaurant with a text: [My darling took me to experience a wedding yesterday and took me to enjoy the seafood cuisine. I’m so happy, though it’s a little sorry to waste the food as I have a petite appetite.]
In the photo, Kevin lowered his head to carefully wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
They were as close to each other as newlywed lovebirds-
I gave it a thumbs up.

There was a burnt smell coming from the kitchen, and Kevin hurriedly served the hot lunch to me. From the screen of his
mobile phone, which was not locked yet, I saw the chat box with Lindsay.
Looking down, I saw the so–called lunch he brought me was some shrimp, obviously the leftovers from his last meal.
So, I stood up and poured this dish into
the trash bin.
My reaction gave him an excuse to vent all his dissatisfaction with me today as he smacked his tongue and said, “I have picked out the burnt ones and threw them away, so what do you mean with that goddamn face?
“I’ve given you the wedding you longed
Chapter 1
for. What else on earth do you want?
“I hate your petty attitude. There’s nothing between Lindsay and me.”
As I looked at him, I found his excuses more and more hilarious.

He must have known I gave a thumbed up at Lindsay’s Instagram.
Without a doubt, she told him about that.
What a cute couple they were!
I put the plate back on the table and said calmly, “Don’t overthink. I’m just allergic to seafood.”
Kevin was stunned and looked a little panicked. He said to with a trace of guilt,
Chapter 1
“Sorry, I forgot. I’ll take you o honeymoon to make it up when ow marriage leave is granted,”
I didn’t say anything,
Before, whenever I begged him to take me to travel, he would always decline and accuse me of ignoring how busy he was at work.
Instead, he used every public holiday to take Lindsay to all the places she wanted to visit.
After finding it out in the past, I questioned him about the pictures Lindsay posted on Instagram with tears, only to get his impatient reply, “Lindsay is a child. Do you really have to dwell on every single thing with her?”

The wedding yesterday couldn’t be held if 1 hadn’t almost knelt in front of him.
All the guests could see that I was not the heroine of that wedding.
In the past, I would have made a fuss, demanding an explanation from him with wails.
But now, all that remained in my heart was indifference.
After thinking about what I had done in the past, I found myself incredibly stupid.
Instead of agreeing with his proposal, I unlocked my phone and saw a message from Rachel: [Welcome to our company. You can start work anytime you want in

the next two weeks,]

I couldn’t help but smile and immediately replied: [Okay, I’ll be there next Monday.]
