I called a car on my phone. While waiting, Ryan pulled up in his car.
“Aria Young, what are you doing with that suitcase?”
“Moving out.”
Ryan frowned. “What for? I already gave that house to Chloe. Don’t make trouble for her for no reason.”
“I’m looking for a new place. Wait until I find one, then you can move.”
I said nothing, walking past his car expressionlessly.
Ryan abruptly grabbed my arm. “Aria, do you have to make things so unpleasant between us? Can’t we be happy like before?”
“You cheated on me with my adopted sister, yet you have the gall to hope we can be happy together? Where do you get the nerve?”
“Why do you keep harping on about that? I’ve explained it to you countless times. Why are you still being so petty about it? Can’t you be more understanding like Chloe?”
Seeing him blame all the wrongdoing on me, criticizing and belittling me with such a self-righteous look on his face,
I witnessed the epitome of shamelessness incarnate.
“Since you find Chloe so understanding, why don’t you just marry her then.”
Ryan didn’t believe a word I said.
After all, everyone knew how much I loved him.
They all thought I would never let him go.
They certainly wouldn’t believe I would choose to leave when the wedding was so close.
Including Ryan himself.
So he said dismissively: “Fine, you said it yourself. Don’t come crying back to me later when you regret it.”
“Ryan, you came to see me?” Chloe’s voice interrupted our conversation as she came out.
“Aunt said you had a scare earlier. What happened?”
Chloe pretended to be afraid, glancing at me before nestling into Ryan’s arms. “Sis went crazy today, chasing after me with a baseball bat…”
Ryan’s brows furrowed. He was about to scold me when Chloe tugged on his sleeve.
