After a while, she spat through gritted teeth, "We'll have a happy marriage whether you say so or not!"
I calmly nodded and congratulated her again.
Jasmine, having failed to provoke me, stormed off in a huff.
I ignored her and headed to the inpatient department to find my dad.
I didn't bother keeping up with Jasmine's life until some time later when a college friend asked me out for dinner and mentioned her.
That was when I found out she had run into trouble.
"I heard her new boyfriend was a scammer.
"He swindled 10,000 dollars out of her and disappeared when he couldn't get more."
My friend leaned in with a gossipy look on his face.
I was a bit surprised. "How did you know?"
"She came to me a few days ago to borrow money, saying it was for her mom's treatment," my friend answered.
Then he waved his hand and continued, "But don't worry. I didn't lend her any. After what she pulled at the wedding, I'd have to be crazy to lend money to someone like that."
...
...
I frowned.
Now that we've already broken up, her problems are none of my concern.
...
But I didn't expect her to come to me.
