I tilted my head in confusion and asked:
“Why do you keep saying bad things about him?”
“I’m very happy now. Shouldn’t you be happy for me?”
“Why do you keep wishing me ill?”
I coldly stared at her, and the air around us seemed to freeze.
Even the mosquitoes sensed the tense atmosphere and flew away, not daring to come
near.
Seeing that I refused to break up Jessica’s chest heaved with anger.
She glared at me with bloodshot eyes, gritting her teeth.
“Lily Collins! I’ll tell you the truth!”
“Alexander and I have known each other for a long time! We were even talking about
marriage!”
“If I hadn’t gotten angry and broken up with him, do you think you’d have had a chance?”
“Alexander only loves me. He married you just to make me jealous!”
“Otherwise, why would he only have a wedding ceremony with you, making it public knowledge, but not get a marriage license? Isn’t it just to upset me?”
Jessica spoke with such conviction that if I hadn’t already gotten the marriage license
with Alexander, I might have believed her lies.
Seeing that I remained unmoved, Jessica pulled out that intimate video again.
She held it up to my face triumphantly and said:
“Look! This is proof that we were together before!”
“We love each other so much. As long as I change my mind, he’ll definitely abandon you
and come back to me immediately!”
Hearing this, my expression instantly darkened.
Before, I just thought Jessica was stupid, but now I found her utterly disgusting!
I coldly looked at her and said flatly:
“Who doesn’t have an ex they’d rather forget?”
“As long as I’m the only one in his heart now, that’s all that matters.”
“Besides, if he would really get back together with you just because you say so, why don’t
you go find him directly?”
“Why go through all this trouble to tell me?”
I went along with her words, pretending to believe what she said.
Seeing that I believed her, Jessica’s expression softened a bit.
She raised an eyebrow smugly and said:
“Fine! You said it yourself, don’t regret it later!”
“I only wanted to persuade you to leave voluntarily because you’re my friend!”
“Since you won’t listen to reason, just wait to be kicked out!”
With that, Jessica angrily turned and left.
That evening when Alexander came home, after hearing from the staff about what
happened during the day, he hugged me with a wronged expression.
“Baby~ I swear, from beginning to end, there’s only been you. I only love you.”
“I don’t know why your friend would say such things. I’ve never done anything to betray
you!”
He was so anxious to prove himself innocent that he almost cried.
I stroked his head, smiling as I comforted him:
“Of course I believe
my
husband~”
“That bad woman just can’t stand to see me happy and is trying to break us up on
purpose.”
I buried my head in his shoulder and said softly:
“Promise me, no matter what happens in the future, you’ll believe in me, okay?”
“Don’t try to understand me through other people’s words. If there’s a problem, ask me
الى
directly, okay?”
In my past life, I fell because of trust.
If I had trusted Alexander a little more, perhaps the outcome wouldn’t have been like that.
This time I didn’t fall into Jessica’s trap, but she might try to manipulate Alexander next.
Hearing my words, Alexander nodded firmly and raised his hand to swear to me.
“I, Alexander Gray, swear that I will trust and cherish Lily Collins for a lifetime!”
