I reluctantly took out the spare phone Scott had given me and inserted my SIM card.
I thought no one would be looking for me, but when I opened the phone, I saw dozens of
messages. However, none of them were asking where I was.
Kyle had called me over ten times and sent more than ten texts.
All of them were scolding me for being reckless and making Vanessa upset.
There were also a few messages from my mom: [If you don’t come back now, then never.]
A couple of others were from Vanessa, pretending to care.
I opened each message, deleted them, and blocked all of them.
Once everything was dealt with, I smiled at Scott and said, “You shouldn’t use expired medicine like this. The effects won’t be as good.”
Then I placed an order for new medicine.
When the delivery arrived, it came with a cup of hot chocolate. Scott handed it to me and said, “Hey, when you’re feeling down, drinking something sweet will make you feel better.”
I took the hot chocolate, feeling its warmth in my hands. A thousand thoughts flooded my mind.
Kyle liked women with slim figures, so I had always controlled my diet carefully. I had never drank high–calorie drinks like hot chocolate.
But when I saw Kyle lovingly hand hot chocolate to Vanessa, I realized that it wasn’t that he liked women with slim figures. It was just that the women he liked happened to be slim.
Snapping out of my thoughts, I saw that Scott had already put a straw in my hot chocolate. I took a sip. It was indeed very sweet, not really to my taste.
I set the hot chocolate aside and bent down to treat Scott’s wounds. That was when I noticed his ears were slightly red.
He carried the smell of soap, which smelled clean and refreshing, not like Kyle, who always smelled of expensive men’s perfume.
Suddenly, my heart calmed down.
Scott suddenly looked up and bumped into my forehead without warning.
Seeing me touch my forehead with tears in my eyes, Scott panicked and quickly cupped my
face gently wiping away m

face, gently wiping away my tears. He then took out a bottle of herbal oil and carefully rubbed my forehead.
His face was calm, but his ears were flushed red.
Suddenly, an angry voice came from the warehouse door. “What are you two doing?”
I looked up to see Kyle, who should have been at the wedding.
Kyle was still wearing his groom’s suit, his face dark with anger,
He strode toward me, grabbed my arm, and squeezed my chin. “You’re so desperate for a man, huh? You couldn’t wait to fool around with some other guy? How cheap can you be?”
Even though I had already lost hope in Kyle, his words still deeply hurt me.
Scott quickly stepped in, pulling me behind him to protect me.
Seeing this, Kyle became even angrier.
“You disappeared from the wedding without a word, Mom and Nessa are worried about you. I can’t believe you’ve fallen so low, hanging out with a little thug like this, Can’t you stop embarrassing us?”
I couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically.
“Yeah, I have always been embarrassing them,” I thought,
To Kyle, I was just the gold–digger who throw myself at him, the one he despised but still slept with over and over.
I had always thought that if I worked hard enough, our relationship would have a happy ending, because I really liked him.
I liked him so much, I would even give my life for him.
I lowered my head and softly said, “Kyle, don’t you worry that Vanessa might have a heart. attack or a breakdown if she finds out?”
At my words, Kyle exploded in anger.
