Looking at my sensible and obedient daughter and my gentle
gentle and caring wife, I felt like the happiest person in the world.
The next day, I woke up early, planning to take my wife and daughter sightseeing to relax.
While eating breakfast, I was bored and started scrolling through my phone. To my surprise, I found that our class group chat had exploded
They were all discussing Olivia’s situation. I learned that Olivia had been locked up in jail with Ethan for a whole night. When they came out, they looked haggard and were furious, completely losing their previous refinement and elegance.
I just laughed coldly to myself.
In a way, didn’t this count as them spending the night together?
My appetite suddenly improved, and I ate a few more dumplings.
After that, I stopped paying attention to news about Olivia and took my wife and daughter to the amusement park.
While we were happily riding the merry–go–round as a family, my phone rang.
After answering, Olivia’s voice came through
I suddenly realized this was Olivia’s new number, as I had blocked and deleted all her previous contact information.
“Jack, I’ve moved up the engagement party with Ethan. It’s this afternoon.”
I replied flatly: “So? What does that have to do with me?”
Olivia on the other end of the phone clearly paused, seemingly not expecting me to be so indifferent.
“If you have something to say, say it. If not, I’m hanging up.”
At this point, I had no patience left for her, only irritation.
Hearing me say this. Olivisc
this, Olivia’s voice immediately came through, tinged with tears.
“Wait! Jack, don’t you… don’t t you have anything to say?”
w Olivia w wanted me to stop her.
I knew
After all, in the past, every time she wanted to get intimate with Ethan, I would try my best to dissuade her.
But my persuasion never changed her mind. She would still get close to Ethan as she pleased, and then turn around and call me narrow–minded, accuse me of being controlling, saying I was almost thirty and shouldn’t be jealous of a kid like Ethan
But in reality, I was only a few months older than Ethan.
Yet in Olivia’s eyes, Ethan w
was just a kid who could do no wrong, while everything I did was wrong.
So this time, I didn’t bother trying to stop her. There was no need to.
After all, we were strangers now What did it matter to me whether she got married or not?
Thinking of this, i flatly uttered two words: “Nothing else.”
Olivia’s tone became noticeably more urgent.
“Jack, aren’t you worried that Ethan and I might turn this fake engagement Into a real one?”
I remained cold: “Oh, that’s fine then. Congratulations on your long–lasting marriage:
But Olivia became anxious, her voice turning shrill.
Jack, you bastard!”
You’re clearly jealous, why won’t you admit it? Why are you so stubborn?”
f you just say you don’t want this, I can cancel the engagement with Ethan ested never happened…

Ethan got promoted because of my proposal, while I was scolded harshly by my boss for not submitting a proposal. Not only did I have to write 10,000–word self–criticism, but I was also demoted with a pay cut.
When I angrily confronted Olivia, she coldly said: “What’s done is done, just bear with it. Don’t worry, you helped Ethan this time, I’ll remember and make it up to you later.”
She talked about compensating me, but it was just an empty promise that was never fulfilled.
There were countless incidents like this, and my love for Olivia had disappeared in her repeated betrayals.
Now, I wouldn’t
t believe a single word she said. I just found it laughable.
After hanging up the phone, my wife and daughter both looked at me with concern.
“Honey, is something urgent? If you have urgent business, you can go ahead. I can take Lily to play.”
“Yes, Daddy, you can go if you’re busy. Lily will be good and listen to Mommy.”
I hugged Emma and affectionately rubbed Lily’s head.
“It’s nothing, just an unimportant scam call. Besides,

Hearing me say this, Emma and Lily both smiled happily.
After that, we continued to enjoy the amusement park rides.
rying all the rides, we were hungry and found a nearby restaurant to eat.
After trying
While my wife and daughter went to the bathroom, I prepared to order first.
Just as I picked up the menu, a familiar voice came from behind me.

Turning around,
It was none other than Olivia!
I suddenly realized that the restaurant we had chosen happened to be the one where Olivia and Ethan were having their engagement party.
a update.
Earlier, while riding the merry–go–round, I had seen it on Ethan’s social media
He was trying to provoke me, not knowing that I didn’t care about him at all and just found him laughable, like a clown jumping around.
While I was lost in thought, Olivia, dressed in a wedding gown, had already stumbled over to me and hugged me.
Jack, I knew you could let me go. I knew you still cared about me?”
