But now, every time I thought about kissing her, all I could see was her flirting with Eugene.

It was like I was picking up someone else’s leftovers.

Soon, my indifference bored her.

Zelda was perceptive—she knew I was angry. But since I was always the one to back down first, she had gotten used to it.

She saw no need to appease me.

Tonight was already a rare concession.

While she went to take a shower, her phone buzzed non-stop.

Annoyed, I picked it up and glanced at the screen.

Eugene had sent her several photos of the two of them in wedding attire.

In the pictures, Zelda looked stunning in a wedding gown, her figure graceful and elegant.

The way she gazed at Eugene was filled with sweetness, and a dull ache throbbed in my chest, followed by overwhelming anger.

So, all of her impatience was reserved just for me.

There was a time when I desperately wanted to see her in a wedding gown.

I spent money reserving several gowns, just waiting for her to try them on.

I had imagined what she would look like in one.

But she kept standing me up.

“It’s all the same. You know I’m lazy—what’s the point of trying them on?”

I still remember the frown on her face when she said that.
