Backstabbed by My Bestie on the Run Chapter 10
I had barely sat down when Mackenzie's son, who was sitting next to us, suddenly started screaming. It was sharp and unrelenting, leaving my head buzzing.Mackenzie finally sat down after calming her son. She stared blankly at him and said, "He has autism and likes to scream for no reason." I couldn't fathom just how stifling it must be for Mackenzie, repeating this life every single day. It was only then that I realized how much she had changed. Her eyes carried a depth of exhaustion and weariness that felt unnerving, lifeless like a bottomless, dried-up well.Mackenzie told me that once their son was born, Caleb grew resentful about having a child with autism. He humiliated her constantly, either hitting her or yelling at her. He soon met a flight attendant and rushed to divorce her."I spent my time taking my son to different hospitals after the divorce. I couldn't find a suitable job, so I started making a living running a food stall," Mackenzie explained calmly, as though she

I spotted a familiar face after chancing on a viral video.In a crowded commercial district, a woman toiled away behind a food stall, a child strapped to her back. Through the smoke and grease, her fine, pretty features were still visible. She looked completely out of place, like a flower blooming somewhere it shouldn't. That kind of beauty made her stand out from the other vendors.The video title read, "Why Did This Gorgeous Woman End Up Selling Street Food with a Child Strapped to Her Back?"The person behind the camera approached the stall to buy some food and asked, "Why did you bring your son out to work in this freezing weather?"Mackenzie smiled courteously and replied, "I have no one to watch my son at home, so I have to bring him with me.""Where's his father?""I'm divorced, and the father doesn't want anything to do with him."Mackenzie's expression turned sad as she said this. Her son on her back suddenly broke into loud sobs, grabbing at her hair and holding on t

"You've had enough, Mackenzie. It's already so late, so let's head back," I said.It was already 1:00 am, and I was yawning nonstop."If only... every woman out there got beaten too… I mean, why is it only happening to me? I wish your boyfriend would hit you too, Adeline… I'd probably feel less miserable then… Why am I the only one suffering?" Mackenzie drunkenly rambled.It was true what they say about drunken honesty. I already knew what kind of person she was, but hearing it still hit me hard. Mackenzie didn't hate Caleb; she hated me instead. I couldn't bring myself to see the Mackenzie in front of me as the same cheerful and kind person I had once known.I carefully tried to feel out what Mackenzie was thinking once she had sobered up. "Do you still want to be with Caleb? Your mother is completely opposed to your relationship, though. What are you going to do now, Mackenzie?"Mackenzie bit her lip and replied despondently, "I-I can't just let him go. I've put so much into thi

I added, "I genuinely hope you and Mackenzie stay together forever, Caleb."Caleb hesitated briefly before finally saying, "Thank you."On our way back, Mackenzie reminded me, "If my mother asks about Caleb, make sure you don't say too much. You know how much I've always wanted to start a family with him. What if something happens and I lose him to someone else?""Got it," I said indifferently.Mackenzie finally smiled, as if everything was going exactly the way she wanted.It wasn't long after that they met each other's families. Mackenzie spoke highly of Caleb in front of Denise, praising him for everything he had done.Just as both families agreed on the marriage and were about to make it official, an incident happened that caused Denise to call off the wedding on the spot.That weekend, right as I was heading over to Mackenzie's, I spotted a familiar figure in the apartment complex. It was Mackenzie's mother. "What brings you here, Denise?"Denise turned toward me when she

I tried to reason with Caleb as calmly as I could, but unexpectedly, he just plopped himself down on the couch and refused to budge.I gave up trying to accommodate him since he refused to budge. I took out my phone and walked toward the door, saying, "If you don't leave right now, I'll call the security over."Just as I turned the doorknob, Caleb shot up from behind me, rushed forward, and knocked my phone clean out of my hand.It clattered across the floor, skidding several feet away, while I lost my footing and tumbled to the ground.Amid the standoff, Mackenzie's voice echoed from outside. "Have you lost your damn mind, Caleb?"She then helped me to my feet and asked, "Are you alright, Adeline?"I stood up and put some distance between us. They were truly more relentless and maddening to deal with than parasites. "I've already told you that I'm breaking up with you, Caleb," Mackenzie said, emphasizing every single word as if she had finally made up her mind."It's her agai

I got up, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Mackenzie. "If something isn't meant to be, there's no point forcing it. I mean, maybe this is all fate's doing. You should just rest up and take care of yourself. You still have plenty of time ahead of you. "It might even be a blessing in disguise. What would people think if word got out that you had a baby out of wedlock?""I-I was such a fool! I completely misjudged him! I asked him to marry me, but he said his career wasn't stable enough and told me to wait. I see now that it was all just a bunch of excuses!"Upon seeing how worked up Mackenzie was, I had no choice but to try to soothe her. "Don't get yourself worked up, Mackenzie. It's not good for your recovery. I'm sure it was just an accident, and that Caleb didn't mean for this to happen.Mackenzie suddenly fell silent. She stared at me as though she didn't recognize me. She probably never imagined I'd say that, given how I'd always backed her unconditionally.I ha
