The most important place should be reserved for the most precious person.
Sharon, because of me and Aaron, has been hesitant to accept Chris' proposal.
I was even ready to let him go.
Why won't he spend one last moment with Aaron?
It was one thing for him not to love me, but Aaron was his son too.
How could he be so heartless towards Aaron...
I stared at Chris in utter disappointment. Once, I had found his features as picturesque as a painting, but now, his face only filled me with disgust.
Just as Chris was about to speak, Sharon interrupted, "Chris, my foot hurts, and so does my face. Can you check if it's swollen? I wonder if it will affect tomorrow's business event."
Chris immediately redirected his attention to her.
Sharon took the opportunity to collapse into Chris' arms.
The slap I had delivered with all my might left a clear handprint on her fair cheek.
Tears welled up in Sharon's eyes.
Chris, heartbroken, gently wiped her tears away.
He used to be quite kind to me when we were younger. If I fell, he would help me up.
And he would wipe away my tears like this.
I couldn't recall the last time he showed me a hint of kindness.
