There were only four seats. I was the only one left standing.
“Hey, we’ve been friends since childhood. We’re used to this. There’s no extra seat…” Nolan glanced around, then smiled at me.
“Why don’t you just go back? You won’t understand what we’re talking about anyway.”
He sat proudly in the middle, everyone’s focus, his face smug.
I sighed softly but stayed where I was.
Back when I truly loved Kendall, I tried hard to accept her friends and fit into her world.
But every gathering ended the same, Nolan leading the way, reminiscing about the past.
He mocked my background, talked about things I couldn’t respond to and left me alone. This time, he used the same tricks again.
Sensing the awkwardness, Madison stood up and offered me her seat.
“Zayden, you sit.”
Looking at Madison, I suddenly remembered.
She had asked Kendall more than once, “How could Zayden compare to Nolan? Why did you marry him?”
And what did Kendall say?
“I had a fight with Nolan back then and I acted on impulse. I regretted it a long time ago, but I also felt sorry for Zayden because he chased after me for so many years.”
Thinking of this, I sighed softly.
“Don’t bother. Let’s get a divorce. That’s enough space.”
