Robert’s friends began to tease. "We were just talking about Robert picking you up at the airport. Honestly, you two look so good together. That trending photo? I was in a daze. It’s like something out of a movie."
"You two really should be together. Breaking up before was such a waste. Now that Diana is back in the country to develop her career, you two can start over."
Robert glanced at me briefly and said indifferently, "Don’t talk nonsense. Diana is destined to be a violinist.”
His words cut deeper than I expected. He neither denied their supposed compatibility nor acknowledged me, his actual fiancée. All he did was highlight her career aspirations as if that alone justified everything. How could I have been so blind? How could I have wasted years loving a man whose heart had always belonged to someone else?
Diana bit her lip, her gaze turning toward me. “Trudy, don’t listen to them. They’re just joking. Don’t take it to heart, okay? Oh, I got you a little gift! I hope you like it.”
