The cake was indeed delicious, but Troy's treatment towards me was really not even one-tenth of what the woman's boyfriend in the video treated her.
I knew it's not good to compare them, but I couldn't help but have internal conflicts.
Was I not worth being treated well by others?
Although I felt a bit uncomfortable, I didn't show it in the following days.
The adult world was not just about love.
After the holiday, both Troy and I returned to our jobs.
He was still the workaholic who would not reply my WhatsApp message, and I sat at my desk dealing with endless work.
Troy called me.
His father got drunk and fell into a ditch and was seriously injured and needed to go back to his hometown.
As a future daughter-in-law, it was only natural for me to be present.
I asked for two days off from my boss and went back to my hometown with Troy.
The brick house in the countryside was crowded with visiting relatives.
When Troy's mother saw Troy rushing back, her wrinkled face was filled with surprise.
But that surprise instantly turned into dissatisfaction when she saw me.
"Why did you bring her back?"
I was at a loss when I heard this with bags of supplements in my hands.
