Who has a cold war that lasts six years?
The truth was, I had blocked and deleted her six years ago. I had even sent her a breakup email and moved all my belongings out of our shared apartment.
If she had cared about me even a little, she would have noticed something was wrong.
Moreover, for the past six years, our mutual friends had all accepted the fact that we had broken up. It was only Olivia who was living in denial.
Thinking of this, I didn’t bother to argue further. I just gave a cold laugh and turned to leave.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have come to this class reunion at all.
As soon as I left the private room, Olivia and Ethan immediately chased after me.
Ethan ran ahead to block my way, putting on a fake concerned expression:
“Brother Jack, why are you leaving so suddenly? It’s a good class reunion.”
“Are you still upset about what happened six years ago? If you’re feeling guilty, I can apologize to you”
He deliberately emphasized the words “six years ago“.
Hearing this, Olivia’s face immediately darkened. She instinctively shielded Ethan behind her, glaring at me coldly.
“Jack, why are you so petty? How can you still be holding a grudge over such a small matter?”
But I found it laughable.
So my
my life was just a trivial matter in Olivia’s eyes?
Six years ago, just because Ethan said he was afraid of the dark and didn’t dare to go downstairs to buy medicine, Olivia abandoned me on the highway on our wedding day, nearly getting me killed by oncoming traffic.
I trudged through a heavy snowstorm for three hours to reach the wedding venue.
By the time I arrived at the wedding venue, I was a complete mess. I had to cancel the wedding in front of everyone, utterly humiliated.
Afterward, I caught a severe fever from exposure to the cold.
During that time, Olivia never once came to
o see m
- me.
Her heart and eyes were full of Ethan. She even stayed overnight at Ethan’s place, taking care of him who was “traumatized“.
Ethan even posted about it on social media to show off, making me the laughingstock of everyone.
That was the 99th time Olivia had abandoned me for Ethan.
Because of that, my heart completely died. I accepted a job transfer and left for the States, staying away for six years.
I knew Ethan was deliberately trying to provoke me by bringing up old wounds.
In the past, I would have definitely blown up in anger.
Unfortunately for him, this time, he was going to be disappointed.
Thinking of this, I calmly replied:
“There’s nothing to be angry about. After all, Olivia and I ended things alx years ago. Besides, I’m doing very well now”
But Ethan was convinced I was angry. He continued his act, explaining in a pretentious manner;
“Brother Jack, don’t misunderstand. My engagement to Olivia is just for show, just to appease my relatives back home.”
