He snorted. Then, as everyone watched, he snarled, “Are you checking up on me again? Can’t you settle down now that you’re pregnant? Are you that desperate for someone to love you, Samantha? Will you die without a man by your side?
“I’ve already told you that Jennifer and I are at this old settlement because our museum discovered an ancient tomb! Only a revolting woman with a mind as dirty as yours would constantly mistake our professionalism for us having an affair behind your back!”
His nasty words suffocated me and made me choke up, but I still spoke up due to a lingering remnant of my love for him. “But it’s my birthday today…”
Benjamin had once promised me he would celebrate my birthday with me, no matter what happened. That was why I’d made the difficult journey to reach him despite him being thousands of miles from me. I’d taken countless forms of transport and walked miles, suppressing my fear while passing through a forest to get to him.
However, all I’d gotten in return was a local telling me there wasn’t any ancient tomb in the vicinity. All there was was a professor by the surname of Gray preparing for a traditional wedding at the old settlement with his lover. The preparations had started half a year ago.
