Alex's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything and sat down next to the empty seat beside Vivian.

I knew what his friends were thinking.

They never approved of Alex and me being together and were always cold to me.

Before, I wanted to get along with them, and I would give them gifts I carefully selected for every holiday.

But I've never seen anyone really use the things I gave them. They probably didn't want to accept me from the bottom of their hearts.

I was too naive to see such an obvious thing until now.

I didn't say a word and ate quietly.

Alex chatted with them with ease, peeling shrimp without stopping.

He never eats seafood unless someone peels the shell for him, and he will reluctantly try a bit because he finds it troublesome to peel it himself.

However, he didn't mind the trouble now. He peeled a whole plate of shrimp, moved it in front of Vivian, and then slowly took a wet wipe and wiped his hands carefully.

This was a treatment I had never had.

Seeing this, I felt depressed.

I decided to let him go, but I still felt sad when I really saw him like this.
