Wook3–Chapter 1
was in a relationship with Cameron Kub for 7 years.
At the age of 25, I wanted to get married, but he said that his company had just started to take off and he wanted to prioritize his career.
At the age of 26, he asked me to wait a little longer.
At the age of 27, with my father’s days numbered, I didn’t want to wait any longer.
However, when I found him, I heard him talking to his friends, “The past few years, I have been postponing the marriage, hoping that Tess Jane would understand and break up with me on her own. But I never expected that no matter how much I tried to drive her away, she just wouldn’t
Neave.”
His friends laughed heartily and said, “Cameron, you don’t want to marry Tess because you’re waiting for Ryleigh, right? I heard Ryleigh’s coming back from abroad soon.”
Cameron did not refute.
So, I quickly went on a blind date arranged by my best friend.
And then, I announced that I was going to get married.
Cameron came to me and loudly questioned, “Tess, are you crazy? When have I ever said that I am going to marry you!”
But when he saw the groom in the wedding photo, he found it wasn’t himself.
He was dumbfounded.
“I am getting married!”
After editing the text, I uploaded a picture of a wedding ring and clicked on “publish“.
Within less than a minute of posting on Instagram, comments flooded in.
I didn’t care to look at the content of the comments, and just wearily put down my phone.
Remembering what Cameron said in the private room a month ago, I tightly closed my eyes and gently touched my tingling chest.
After taking a deep breath, I continued to pack my luggage.
this
moment, I suddenly heard that the front gate was unlocked, and Cameron stormed in with a furious expression on his face.
The minute he saw me, he launched into a scolding before I could explain.
ress, are you shameless? When did I say I want to marry you? Why did you post such things on Instagram?”
“Do you know how many people have come to ask me about that?”
He was furious, as he pointed at me, his outstretched finger was almost poked into my eyes.
“Do you think that by posting an Instagram update, I would be pressured by public opinion to marry you? That will not happen.”
Upon hearing that, I felt all the strength in my body seemed to be drained away, and I collapsed onto
the sofa.
You are not…”
As I tried to explain, he ruthlessly interrupted.
“Stop explaining, I’ve had enough of you. You’ve been pressuring me every day to get married. I’ve told you many times that I don’t want to get married now. Can’t you understand?”
Cameron furrowed tightly and swept away the things on the table in front of me.
I heard crash sound.
Seeing that my packed suitcase was kicked aside, I silently lowered my gaze.
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
His impatient expression turned into a big smile as soon as he saw the incoming phone number.
“Ryleigh, have you arrived at the airport? I will come to pick you up right away. Wait for me.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, not even giving me a single extra glance.
I watched his cold eyes melt in an instant.
Ryleigh Breiter was indeed really important to him.
He was just throwing a tantrum at me, but in the next second, he was cheered up like a big happy
dog
I gave a bitter smile, crouched down to tidy up the things he had messed up.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my finger. I exclaimed in surprise and looked down to see that my finger had been cut by a piece of broken ceramic on the floor, and blood droplets were oozing
out.
The fingerprints on the broken ceramic were faintly visible…
My mind was somewhat hazy, when suddenly I remembered a few years ago when Cameron and I had just started dating.
At that time, Cameron’s father was exposed for tax evasion, and overnight, the wealthiest person in Embershire became someone others, leaving Cameron burdened with a huge debt.
I couldn’t bear to see the once spirited young man became impoverished and struggled day and night for a living, so I begged my father to help him repay the debt he owed and to continue supporting his education.
It was also from that time that Cameron and I officially established a relationship.
