Chapter 2
This ceramic piece was also made by us together on the night we first got together at the night
market.
At that time, Cameron only had 2 dollars on him, but he was still willing to take it out to accompany me in making this meaningless ceramic doll.
I kept it for many years, no matter how many times I moved, I would always bring it with me.
But Cameron had already forgotten.
Or perhaps he never cared.
At that moment, my phone beeped with a message notification. I took a deep breath and pulled my Thoughts away from the memories.
Reading the message on my phone, my thoughts instantly became complicated.
It was Jovanny Tischer, my blind date.
When I saw the engagement date he sent, I sighed.
Anyway, regardless of how things were with Cameron, I was getting married after all. From now on, we would go our separate ways, and I would never be sad about him again.
However…
There was still one important thing to be resolved before getting married.
Back then, when Cameron and I became a couple, I gave Cameron the heirloom of the Jane family, a pair of jade rings.
The family motto of the Jane family was that only upon receiving the jade ring would one be considered a rightful husband of the Jane family.
Since they are not getting married anymore, it is only natural to take back this family heirloom!
With this in mind, I set off for the Kub family.
I had been mentally preparing myself all along the way, but at the moment when I pushed open the door of Cameron’s house, my heart still felt a pang.
In Cameron’s spacious apartment, a group of stylishly dressed men and women were partying, indulging in wild revelry.
The deafening music, which was making me feel uncomfortable.
have never liked this kind of occasion, so Cameron rarely takes me out to meet his friends. He accuses me of being melodramatic for my reaction.
Finally, my gaze landed on Cameron in the middle of the crowd..
As I appeared, the expressions on everyone’s faces were particularly splendid, and many people secretly sized up me and Cameron,
“Cameron, your sister–in–law is pushing for marriage and she’s even come to your doorstep. Why aren’t you running away quickly?”
“Where are you running to? This is Cameron’s house.”
סאי
wonder, Tess was getting older, it was time for her to find a man and settle down, hahaha.”
Listening to his friend’s relentless mockery, I felt a chill run through my body, a strong sense of humiliation surged up. Without even looking, I knew that my face must be
e pale now.
Faced with these mockery, I wanted to honestly admit the fact that I was going to marry someone else, but I was interrupted by a sneer.
Cameron mocked me with a disdainful and sarcastic look, standing not far away.
“What marriage? I never said I was getting married. It was just a joke she made.”
He casually took a sip of the drink in his hand, showing no mercy towards me.
Everyone burst into laughter and no longer treated me politely.
Over the years, although I was Cameron’s girlfriend in name, in their eyes, I was just a dog who would come running whenever called.
“Cameron, can you return the jade ring I gave you before?”
I returned Cameron’s mocking gaze.
If I had heard these taunts as usual, I would have felt deeply hurt.
But now there was no ripple in the heart.
As soon as the words fell, his expression froze, and his hand holding the glass of wine trembled involuntarily.
“Didn’t you say that those rings were waiting for us to get married and for you to wear them? What? Couldn’t force me into marriage, so now you want to use this as a threat?”
He smirked, reaching under the TV cabinet to take out a familiar box.
The thing I gave him turned out to be so worthless to him.
was casually thrown into an inconspicuous corner, even accumulating a thick layer of dust on top.
I lowered my gaze, hiding the bitterness in my eyes.
Before I could reach out to grab it, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
