I didn’t understand why Antonio looked so stunned.
Wasn’t it quite normal to unfriend one’s ex after the break- up?
Besides, my husband was very possessive of me. If I kept Antonio on my list of friends, Bruce might become very upset when he found out about it.
Looking into Antonio’s eyes, I asked calmly, “Didn’t you say that I’d better not go looking for you again after we broke up?
Antonio’s face turned colder, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But before he could utter a word, I added in a flat tone, “Also, I don’t need your compensation.”
His face darkened even more.
He snorted coldly, “Don’t pretend it. If it weren’t for you being too down and out now, I wouldn’t even want to talk to you.”
Seeing this, Queenie immediately said to him gently, “Come on, Antonio. She at least graduated from a prestigious college.
“I think she also didn’t want to end up being so poor like this. Just help her.”
“Queenie, you’re being too kind. In my opinion, we should leave her alone. Look how shabby she is.”

With that, he piped up to me with disdain, “Get out now.” He seemed to have forgotten that he was poorer than me ten
years ago.
In my previous life, the reason why Antonio’s family didn’t accept Queenie was that she was a promiscuous woman who liked to take shortcuts.
When I first met Antonio in college, he had just picked
Queenie up from a club, and his family was forcing him to break up with her.
During Antonio’s most down period, it was me who had been by his side all the time, helping him pull himself together.
He liked photography, so I used the money I originally planned to start a business with to buy him equipment worth thousands.
Whether it was in cold winter or sultry summer, I carried dozens of tons of equipment and followed behind him, hoping that he could cheer up and smile from the bottom of his heart.
No one knew that it was he who confessed his love first to me.
I knew he had a past with Queenie, and I had seen him occasionally staring at his photos with her in his album intently.
Thus, when he confessed to me, I asked him seriously whether he had really let go of Queenie.
He held me tightly in his arms, answering in a firm tone, “Actually, I’ve never loved her. I’ve always treated her as my good friend. You’re my one and only love, Grace. Be my

girlfriend, OK?”

Antonio and I had been in a relationship for seven years. Even his buddies were surprised about that.
One of them once remarked in front of me, “He loved Queenie so much. I thought you two wouldn’t be together for long.”
No one knew how many times Antonio had refused to marry
- me.
He told me, “Grace, I’m a celibatarian.. Isn’t it good for us to be like this for a lifetime?”
Later, when his parents pressured him to get married as soon as possible, he finally agreed to marry me.
During our honeymoon, he heard the news that Queenie died in a car accident. He jumped off the cruise ship, leaving only a farewell letter.
His farewell letter was filled with love for Queenie. There wasn’t a single word he left for me.
At the end of his letter, he wrote in blood: “Queenie, I only love you in my life. Now, it’s time for me to come to you.”
At that moment, my love for him had completely dwindled to nothing.
Therefore, after the rebirth, I didn’t refuse him when he said he wanted to break up with me.
I knew I couldn’t stop him from going back to Queenie’s side.
After he and Queenie got back together, I deleted all his
contact information.

I thought I would never meet him again, but here we were.
I wanted to leave. But Queenie stopped me, wanting to seize this opportunity to embarrass me in front of everyone.
Glancing at me with disdain, she mocked, “Look how shabby you are. You’ve lowered the quality of the whole banquet. Don’t you feel ashamed?
“How about this? I’ll help you get a job as a waitress here. If you can learn how to serve others, you can earn at least four figures a month.”
Someone wanted to curry favor with Queenie and echoed, “That’s right.
“This hotel stands in the prime location in Seaville. It’ll be a great honor for you to work here. You should thank Ms. Ashwell well.”
I was surrounded by people and couldn’t leave for a moment.
I sighed helplessly and said, “Thanks, but no thanks. I’ve already had a job. I’m a photographer.”
When Antonio heard that I was a photographer, he immediately turned to look at me with a complex emotion in his eyes. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
But soon, he turned his head away and said coldly, “You don’t get much pay from that job, do you? You can’t make a living on a hobby. We’re old acquaintances after all, so I can help arrange a job for you.”
Hearing his words, I was slightly stunned and knew that he had understood me.
