Eban’s eves turned cold and his ton
even more harsh.
You knew everything yet you held back from speaking, just to humiliate me like this today? Julissa, you’ve really become quite
skelet
Ichockled “Edwin, you were too full of yourself.”
“Guess I decided to move the oath ceremony to the end?
why
Entrowed his brow, his half–closed eyes gleaming with sharpness.
Because I wanted to experience the entire wedding. I wanted to see the fireworks tonight. I stopped working and prepared for the wedding for a whole year
“I tirelessly revised the design drafts, reaching out to flower arrangement experts and paper art masters in various places. I searched to materials and contacted prop companies, ensuring a high success rate for the final implementation. I paid attention to every single
detail
“She tried on hundreds of wedding dresses,
“Edwin, no man is worth me putting in so much effort to plan a wedding with him again.”
“This might have been the only wedding in my life.”
“It was much more important to successfully go through this laborious wedding, than to embarrass you.
“Didn’t you notice that during the wedding shoot today, the camera never focused on you?”
“I will handle the filming for this wedding myself.”
Edwin’s face was filled with anger, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
A pair of pitch–black–eyes stared at me intensely.
“Are you saying that you want to end things with me?”
I took a deep breath.
“I think my ‘unwillingness‘ has been expressed very clearly.”
Edwin fell silent for a moment and trembled as he said, “Julissa, think carefully. If you leave me, you will never find someone with
better conditions than mine
I smiled
“Why should I look for someone? I had a job and savings, I had a brain and skills, I could live a prosperous and happy life on my own.”
“You didn’t need marriage to fulfill your career, and likewise, I didn’t need marriage to fulfill anything for me.”
Edwin looked stem, with his jaw tightly clenched..
The pale light fell on his shoulders, as if covered with a layer of frost.
“Julissa, don’t regret it.”
“I do not regret.”
I turned around, straightened my back, and proudly exited along the gravel path.
Tears still streamed down the chin and fell along the way.
I stayed in the hotel for three days.
Take out the SIM card and uninstall all social media apps.
Three days of being a couch potato passed.
When I came out of the hotel, I felt like my eyes couldn’t focus.
I took a tad and went to Edwin’s place. The lawn was covered with torn red carpet, and the word “wedding”
torn off and crumpled on the ground.
The villa was empty, with traces of destruction everywhere.
The sofa was tilted and the vase was shattered all over the floor.
It seems that Edwin had lost his temper here before.
I tiptoed upstairs and started packing my things.
Most of my things were bought by Edwin, so after leaving them, I could only take a few with me.
One suitcase was enough to fit everything
“on the iron gate was also
As I was carrying my suitcase downstairs, I made eye contact with Edwin lying face up on the floor in the lobby.
His hair was disheveled and his clothes were in disarray.
Fingertips held the cigarette, took a puff, and then pressed it out on the floor.
That sharp and flamboyant face, hidden in the ethereal white smoke, had a sense of absurd decadence beauty.
I paused to take a breath and quickened my pace down the stairs.
“Don’t go…”
As I passed by Edwin, he spoke in a hoarse voice. I kept walking
I told you not to leave!”
He roared
Get up and catch up with me in just a few steps.
He kicked open my suitcase and grabbed my shoulder, turning me towards him.
He lowered his head and kissed my lips with a strong sense of oppression.
The bitter smell of tobacco and alcohol was transmitted to my mouth along with saliva, and I struggled frantically.
Not useful
I burst into tears and, in the moment of separation, I slapped him hard.
“Edwin! You rolled away!”
Edwin slowly turned his face, his eyes filled with danger.
The next second, I was lifted up by him and thrown over his shoulder.
He led me all the way to the bedroom, and no matter how hard I pounded, it was useless.
I was thrown onto the red bed
When he felt dizzy, he took off his coat and pressed it down. His cheeks were flushed from the alcohol.
Cold white fingers wiped away the tears from the corner of my eyes.
