Stanley's words became the last straw for me. "I said, I don't like Jessica. I didn't like it before, I don't like it now and I won't like her in the future. You are the only one in my heart."
His public humiliation and unabashed scorn made me feel ashamed. Sally's eyes were clearly full of pride, but on the surface she still cried in grievance.
Only one sentence is left, "I don't believe your nonsense. You two are childhood sweethearts and I am just an outsider. No matter how hard I try, I can't get involved in your past! I am just a redundant burden!"
The people ran out. Stanley glanced at me with a warning look and then chased Sally out. Charles and I were the only ones left in the huge hall.
"Jessica, you did go too far this time. Knowing that Sally doesn't feel safe, why did you insist on sending that message to Stanley?"
"Let's break up."
"What??"
As if he couldn't believe his ears, he frowned and widened his eyes.
"I said, let's break up. The wedding is cancelled. I won't marry you and I won't pester Stanley again. You can rest assured."
A flash of surprise and relief flashed across his eyes. But he still looked sad.
