Love Unsent

After the door was slammed shut for quite a while, my phone started vibrating frantically, bringing me back to reality.Jack had posted a major announcement in our high school class group chat.Jack: [Lina is back. There will be a party at our usual place tomorrow! Everyone must come! @Everyone]The attached photo showed two smiling faces close together. It was Jack holding Lina's hand and gently kissing the back of her hand.Below were a bunch of curious and questioning comments.[Mr. Jenner! Even if Lina hasn't returned home for many years, why are you so enthusiastic?][What the hell? How could you kiss Lina's hand?]Many people tagged me.[Ariana, please see. Your childhood sweetheart is cheating on you!]At the graduation party when we were 18, Lina confessed to Jack in public. The girl kneeling on one knee had hopeful eyes, but Jack only snorted in response. "Did you misunderstand something, Lina? It's not Christmas yet, so I haven't prepared any presents!"Seeing Lina'

I was wearing high heels and twisted my ankle. It hurt it so badly. The soft snap made me break out in a cold sweat instantly.Three years ago, Jack had a high fever at night, and it happened to be when the power in the neighborhood was out.I carried Jack, who was two sizes taller than me, up the eight-story building. I stepped off the edge and twisted my ankle, breaking it. The doctor said that I could not injure this ankle again, or there was a possibility of lifelong disability.The pain was even worse than that year. When I fell, my phone flew to one side. It was now flashing on and off, and my voice trembled with pain. "Jack, help me call an ambulance."The Zachman family's heir I was going to marry had a crippled leg. I did not want to end up crippled like him.I pleaded with Jack. He rushed toward me, but Lina wrapped her arms around his waist when he was close.Lina's eyes were red, as if she had suffered great injustice and shock. "I... I didn't do it!"She looked at J

"I have ears and eyes. I can hear and see. Those who are genuinely sorry should never be the ones who were sincere."Facing my astonished gaze, Joshua pursed his lips and added softly, "If you don't mind my current condition, could you give me a chance?"He seemed a bit nervous, but his gaze toward me remained completely magnanimous.It turned out that my dad had already disclosed my entire eight-year history to him at the beginning of the marriage arrangement. The reason was that he dared not deceive the powerful Zachman family.My father was a businessman through and through, always driven by a profit-driven mentality that refused to give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope. Unexpectedly, Joshua agreed without hesitation. Not only did he provide financial assistance, but he even came to pick me up himself.Unlike Jack, who had a somewhat rough and aggressive appearance, Joshua seemed extremely honest. He pulled up his left trouser leg, revealing half of his mechanical le

"How could this be?"Jack seemed to have been stabbed right in his heart. He jumped up in pain. "Ariana! Are you trying to trick me again? We were together for eight years! How could you possibly marry someone else?"As he spoke, Jack gave a cautious and pleading smile. "My dear Ariana... Don't scare me... "They were similar words but with a completely different tone.I sighed. "Jack, why do you keep thinking I'm tricking you? Is my sincerity so worthless to you? Forget it, Jack. We're not the same. The past is my own fault. I've accepted it and paid the price. From now on, let's just keep our distance... "Before I could finish, Jack became so agitated that he seemed ready to explode. "Ariana! What nonsense are you saying? We're childhood sweethearts! Eight years! How could you just casually deny it? How could you be so heartless? Look at the man in front of you! What's so good about him? Does he have money? Is he handsome? He—"This time, I interrupted him, "Shut up! Joshua is
