The One Who Loves More Always Cries FirstChapter 1

I received a call from my good friend Oliver Baker in the middle of the night and insisted on going out despite my boyfriend's anger.

I arrived at the entrance of the bar and picked up the heavily drunk Oliver, and took care of him at home for the night.

The next afternoon, when I woke up and called my boyfriend to pick me up, the phone rang for a long time and he didn't answer.

When I angrily returned home, it was already empty.

I didn't know that this was the last straw.

"Theo Kelly, get out of my way. Oliver is waiting for me at the bar. He is so young. If I go late, what if he feels uncomfortable and no one takes care of him?" I said to my boyfriend.

Theo looked angry and pointed at my nose, saying, "Irvin Hannah, are you crazy? It's already one o'clock in the middle of the night, and you want to go to the bar to pick up a man you just met a few days ago?"

Facing Theo's furious outburst, I was already used to it. He has always been like this, being narrow-minded.
