The eighth time I proposed to Sarah, she still coldly refused me.
She said she needed more time, and I was planning to keep waiting.
Unexpectedly, I saw her marriage certificate with my brother on social media.
Faced with my questioning, Sarah was very calm.
"Quint is sick and can't handle stress. Don't make a fuss over nothing!"
In the photo, my brother and she were already wearing wedding rings, and her belly was slightly swollen.
I suddenly felt at peace, liked their post, and left a comment.
[Wishing you lifelong happiness! May you grow old together!]
But a year later, Sarah came to me looking haggard and destitute, begging to get back together.
However, her best friend's belly was already heavily pregnant, smiling as she pushed her away.
"Stop it, the baby's almost here. My husband has a darling, he doesn't need someone to clean up the mess."

Proposing to Girlfriend Eight Times and Being Rejected

Scarlett's car appeared in front of me shortly after.


She and Sarah were best friends, and also current investors in the company.


Scarlett was silent for a moment before replying.


I furrowed my brow, not understanding her meaning.


Scarlett leaned lazily against the car.


"She called me and said you two had a fight. But if it were anyone else, I wouldn't have bothered coming."


After some thought, I got into her car.


It was late, and getting a cab in this upscale neighborhood would be inconvenient.


Scarlett took me to the hospital to bandage the wound on my palm.


By the time everything was done and we left the hospital for home, it was already midnight.


I thanked Scarlett, but she suddenly spoke up.


"If you want revenge on Sarah, I'm willing to help."


"You two are in cahoots. What revenge are you talking about?"


She suddenly pinned me in the corner of the car, her fingers gripping my collar tightly.


"How do you know Sarah and I are on the same side if you don't try?"


Calling her crazy, I quickly opened the door and fled from the car.The next morning, I drafted a share transfer agreement and went to the company, ready to sell all my shares and leave this sickening city behind.


I found Scarlett and bluntly told her the price I had in mind for the transaction.


Unexpectedly, she suddenly lunged at me, forcing me back against the chair.


She deliberately unbuttoned half of her shirt, revealing glimpses of her toned abs underneath.


"If Sarah can have a child with your brother, why don't you have a child with her best friend to get back at her?"


Sarah had always said Quint was sick, but I never believed it.


Scarlett's words seemed to unveil the whole truth.


I didn't dare think about it before, but now it seemed like the only explanation that made sense.


At that moment, Sarah arrived at the company.


I watched as Quint carefully helped her into her office, even thoughtfully preparing many sweet treats for her.
