Let me clarify, the dating part was true.
I didn’t like Ethan Collins anymore, so what was wrong with dating?
Not only did I date, but I dated several guys.
Ethan knew about each of my boyfriends.
Our old friends would always tell him.
Ethan didn’t stop hating me.
He had been high and mighty for twenty years, and suddenly he was “humiliated” by a little follower he looked down upon. I’d hate it too if I
were him.
I heard he even went to our hometown.
Unfortunately, that year my dad was in London for treatment, so I didn’t go back to the county.
He couldn’t catch anyone, acting like an abandoned little wife.
This game of cat and mouse had been going on for three years.
Today, it was finally going to end.
Because in the future, I would be spending New Year’s at Ethan’s house.
My dad passed away last winter, and I had no home left.
Ethan was standing behind me now, very close.
His fingertip tapped on the melon, one tap at a time.
“Turn around, I’ll buy this melon for you.”
I didn’t move a muscle.
He quickly grew bored.
“Never mind, I was just joking.”
Ethan was like that, losing interest in everything after three minutes.
This time, he really left.
I went to check out with a bunch of fruits.
The shopkeeper looked at me a bit longer.
“Young lady, you look familiar.”
“I have a common face.”
“You’re quite pretty, how could you have a common face,” he clicked his tongue, certain, “I must have seen you somewhere before.”
It’s normal that he didn’t recognize me.
I had changed a lot.
After puberty, I had slimmed down considerably, and after years in the city, I had also become fair–skinned.

I was no longer that dark, chubby country girl from before.
Not long ago, in a campus beauty contest, I even won the title of “Miss Communication“.
Oh, right.
Ethan had also appeared in that voting thread.
He said: “What Miss Communication? Are you all blind in your department??”
After paying, I left with my fruits.
Just as I pushed open the door, a cold gaze fell on my back.
“Buying so much, where are you going?”
Ethan hadn’t left.
He seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time.
I ignored him and quickened my pace.
He quickly caught up and blocked my way.
He snatched off my baseball cap.
“Did you enjoy playing me, Lily Knowles?”
