colleagues through the lobby, and the sound
of high heels echoed behind me.
The next moment, Dubois grabbed me.
He said haughtily, “You promised me you’d be
at the party tonight.”
I was stunned. I seemed to have promised
him that before.
I wanted to refuse, but the lawyer’s words
echoed in my ears.
She told me that he was now ignoring my
divorce agreement, and that the best way to
get a smooth divorce was not to anger him. If
he were to hang on to the matter, it would
cause unnecessary trouble, and even if I
wanted to anger him, I would have to choose
the right time.
“Okay.”
I got into his car and watched the scenery
outside the window change constantly, and I
asked abruptly.
“Why did you decide to wear this?”
“Today is Seraphina’s birthday, and she likes
it.”
After saying that, he suddenly became silent
and glanced at me, only to find that I was just
staring out the window.
After a while, he explained, “Don’t think too
much about it. I just thought it was formal
and suitable for this kind of occasion.”
“Okay.”
I was too lazy to argue with him. Maybe he
didn’t even remember.
This brown and black couture was a gift I
gave him.
He never wore it for me, not even trying it on
in front of me.
But, he told me he liked it.
The real reason was that Seraphina liked it.
So, he took it out on purpose and wanted to
wear it for Seraphina at her birthday party.
He never cared about me, so he made
excuses to fool me.
He cared about Seraphina, so he dressed
carefully, taking the gift I gave him to please
another person.
If he remembered that the dress was a gift
from me, he might have disliked it and
refused to wear it.
He was a bright sun, but he was unwilling to
shine on me.
After all, the difference between love and not
love is fully manifested at this moment.
The car stopped in front of a hotel, and the
waiter led us into a private room.
I saw Seraphina and a group of people
chatting and laughing, she was surrounded in
the middle, how rich.
When she saw Dubois holding my hand, I saw
contempt on her face.
“You’re finally here, please sit down.”
As she spoke, Seraphina quickly pulled
Dubois away from me and led him to sit next
to her.
Dubois’s friends quickly took their seats,
filling all the seats around them, and then
looked at me mockingly, with mockery in their
eyes.
