Before he left for work, I was afraid that he would forget the appointment in the evening, so I reminded him, hoping he would come earlier to impress my parents.
He smiled and responded, "How could I forget such an important meeting with your parents today?"
Everett was stunned, and a hint of guilt flickered in his eyes.
It seemed that he remembered what he said in the morning.
He said guiltily, "I'm sorry. Work overwhelmed me today. I forgot it."
With that, he walked towards me and stretched out his hands to hug me.
But I avoided him calmly.
But I could smell a faint scent of jasmine on him.
It was the scent of the perfume that Sydney often used.
Everett was surprised, as if he didn't expect I would avoid him.
He asked, "Winona, are you angry?"
I stared at him coldly and asked calmly, "Did you really forget the appointment today because of work?"
"Are you doubting me?" His voice tinged with irritation.
Looking at his furious expression, I suddenly felt that he was so unfamiliar.
Or maybe, he had never revealed his true self in front of me.
I took a deep breath and said, "Everett, let's break up."
I had called his name countless times, but never as calmly as I did now.
