Love lades
Chapter 2
Noticing the bright sile on my tube. Kevin asked with displeasus, “Wha you talking about so bappie”
I locked my phone and said pene “Nothing.”
Unexpectedly, he snatched my phone and tried to unlock it but failed afering several patterns of the password. Efe couldn’t help frowning deeper
That was because all the passwords for all my software used to be his birthday
The message I didn’t reply to, along with my abnormal attitude to him, elicited Kevin to become suspicious.

He cast my phone on the sofa and tried

to ask casually, “Why did you change the password?”
Picking up the phone, I replied calmly, “Nothing particular. I just wanted to change it.”
Kevin opened his mouth but eventually said nothing.
Then, I took me to dinner at night.
As I opened the door of the passenger seat, a cute memo was attached to it.
It said: [The exclusive seat to Princess. Lindsay.]
I was about to slam the door when Kevin

grabbed my wrist and explained with an embarrassed face, “Lindsay put it there for fun. You can tear it off if you don’t like
it.”
His behavior was hilarious to me.
If he had really cared about what I would feel after seeing this memo, he wouldn’t have allowed Lindsay to put something so provocative here in the very first place.
All in all, he preferred Lindsay rather than,
- me.
I shrugged indifferently to show it didn’t matter to me and walked around him to s the back seat.
However, as soon as I sat down, I felt something hard against my butt.

Then, I extended my hand and retrieved it. Inside the circle of the diamond
ring was an abbreviated name, L.P., meticulously carved.
I knew it was Lindsay’s name.
Before I could take a closer look, Kevin hurriedly stretched out to grab it.
“Lindsay must have dropped it on my car. I’ll bring it to her at the company tomorrow.”
As he said that, Kevin observed my expression with evasive eyes to see if I
was upset.
My calm face relieved his misgivings.

I could see it was the best seller of a renowned wedding ring brand, which allowed a man only to purchase one ring with his ID.
The brand hyped the sense of ceremony of eternal love and loyalty everywhere before, and this concept deeply attracted
- me.
However, when I pulled together the courage to ask to buy the rings, Kevin responded to me with only mockery, “You can’t see the trap of formalistic consumption? You are so dumb and hopeless.”
Burying the grievances deep in my heart, I comforted myself that he was just an over–pragmatic man.

Even at the wedding, I wore the plain
6/11
ring he bought from a roadside stall a few
years ago.
Now, I discovered that I did have a sense of ceremony.
He just preferred to enjoy it with someone else.
I could imagine the passionate sex in the back seat that was so wild as to make Lindsay drop the ring.
But it didn’t matter to me anymore.
During the dinner, Kevin noticed that I took off our wedding ring when he finally shunned his eyes from his cell phone
screen.

As expected, he questioned me about that, and I replied indifferently without even raising my head, “Oh, I must have lost it. It’s nothing important anyway, isn’t it?”
Hearing this, Kevin locked his phone with a troubled face.
The thought that I might mind the ring in the back seat drove him to explain, “Lindsay begged me to buy her that ring when we went out purchasing before. I… I couldn’t break her heart, right?”
I looked up and said with confusion, “And
may
I know what it has to do with me?”
The totally different attitude he adopted for me and Lindsay triggered millions of fusses between the two of us.

His initial indifference and indiscriminate
insults later on made me see through this scumbag.
Now, I just felt like he was interrupting my meal.
After dinner, Kevin insisted on taking me to a mall to choose a new ring.
Despite my repeated rejection, he still held on to buying me a new one.
While I sat in his car and killed my time by viewing the street, the sky thundered.
The next second, it started raining cats and dogs.
That was when Kevin’s phone rang.

The ringtone did not suit his style.

at all; obviously, Lindsay set that as the particular ring of her calls, which reminded me that last month, he yelled at me just because I accidentally touched his phone.
I was two months pregnant at that time when he shoved me to the ground. A sharp pain struck my womb, and I almost had a miscarriage.
Facing my pain, Kevin slammed the door and went out to take Lindsay to buy the snack she suddenly wanted to eat.
Recalling the past, I couldn’t help but clench my fists.
As expected, Lindsay’s cry broke out from his cell phone receiver.

“Kevin, it’s thundering. I’m so scared at home alone. Can you come to my place?” she said.
He immediately pulled over and said, out
of an eagerness to be there with Lindsay without feeling sorry for me at all, “I have something urgent to do now. It is not far from the mall here. Just select the ring you like yourself.”
I was left in the heavy rain. Looking at the road signs, I found the closest mall from here was a kilometer away.
Then, I received a message reminding me to receive the money Kevin transferred to me for the ring.
With a sneer, I transferred the money

back to him and took a taxi home.

The moment I reached home, I, still drenched, received the text that Lindsay sent me “by mistake“.
Lindsay: [A hug from my darling smooths the fear brought by thunder!]
It was accompanied by a selfie of her sitting in Kevin’s hug.
