The more I read, the more numb I felt. So they had done so many things together.
They would go grocery shopping and cook together. They even had a little dog named Spot, and they would take it for walks after dinner.
I remembered that Jason liked dogs, but because I was allergic to dog hair, we never had one.
They would act like a normal couple, buying bubble tea and popcorn when watching movies, feeding each other popcorn, and drinking from the same straw.
When touching scenes came up, she would shed tears, and he would gently wipe them away with a tissue, fondly ruffling her hair, “Silly girl, why are you so easily moved?”
When her shoelace came undone, he would naturally kneel down to tie it for her.
He would remember her menstrual cycle, reminding her not to eat ice cream a few days before, make brown sugar water for her during her period, and always carry her menstrual pain medication.
He would accompany her in everything she wanted to do, even if he didn’t like some things, he was willing to indulge her.
Like right now, as we ran into each other on the street.
He and she were wearing matching fox ear headbands, holding small cupcakes in their hands, laughing so happily.
But when they saw me, their smiles instantly froze.
I walked over expressionlessly, yanked off Jason’s headband, and threw it in the trash can. “This doesn’t suit you.”
Jason showed no intention of explaining, only frowning in displeasure, “What are you doing here?”
I laughed, “You think I’m stalking you?”
He didn’t say anything, but the expression on his face spoke volumes.
“Jason, do you know what you look like in my eyes right now? Don’t be so full of yourself.”
“Emily!” He gritted his teeth in anger.
I turned to look at Amber, lifting my chin like a proud swan, “Instead of sneaking around, why don’t you convince Jason to divorce me quickly? That way, you can be open about your relationship.”
“I won’t divorce, Jason insisted.
I looked at Amber with sympathy, “What a pity. It seems your dear brother isn’t all that great after all. He’s not even willing to give you a proper
status.”
Amber’s face turned pale, her eyes brimming with resentment and unwillingness,
Good. Since she’s unwilling, she should quickly find a way to make Jason divorce me.
