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."

"With this additional 5% stake, I now hold a total of 15%. I wonder if you can stomach that, Ms. Zimmerman!"


I had an ulterior motive in actively seeking out Scarlett this time.

Instead, her gaze was fixed intently on me.


"What about you? After selling your shares, where do you plan to go?"


I stirred the coffee in my hand, my eyes unfocused.


"Maybe some city back home, or perhaps abroad."


I only stayed here because of Sarah in the first place.


Now that she's no longer important to me, I have no reason to continue staying.


As my words fell, a sudden silence descended between Scarlett and me.
