Your World Cup, Not Mine Anymore Chapter 8
Back at my apartment, during a video call with my parents, they could tell from my expression that something was wrong.Terrified I might go back to him, they anxiously tried to counsel me.After just a few words, I interrupted them both:"Don't worry, I will never, ever get back together with Gavin.""You can rest easy.""No matter what he does, I won't forgive him, won't go back.""I'll work hard here in Northern Europe and live well."Only then did my parents relax, smiles appearing at the corners of their mouths.I thought that after making things so clear last time, Gavin would be too ashamed to come pester me again.I never expected that a week later,He would show up meticulously groomed, with a fresh, sharp haircut, clean-shaven, wearing the suit I'd once given him.Holding a bouquet of flowers, he appeared downstairs from my office.I had just finished a meeting and was about to get lunch.Just like when we first met, he looked sincere and nervous.He said: "Jane, the Gavin of

I arrived in Northern Europe and began my new job and life.The summer days here are long, with skies clear and luminously bright.During a video call, my mother asked, "With such long daylight hours, can you sleep at night?"I told her I could—once I drew the blackout curtains, I slept soundly just the same.Right and wrong, love and heartache—none of it matters as much as a good night's sleep.I knew she was worried I might bottle up my emotions.She had always feared that being alone abroad would make me overthink things.Loneliness can weigh heavily on one's spirits.Now, telling me to sleep well was simply her way of hoping I would cry it all out and let it go.My parents both knew I loved Gavin—loved him with reckless abandon.Over these twelve years, I had never lacked suitors more accomplished than him.But from beginning to end, I had eyes only for him.Now that we'd broken up, any normal person would grieve, would cry.Yet from the breakup until now, I'd remained as calm as i

Gavin's mother arrived.She stood beside Chloe with a dark expression on her face."Any responsible person, no matter how bad the argument, would never throw a cat outside."Gavin explained:"Mom, Jane just boarded the cat, she didn't abandon it.""That's still her throwing it out without caring! Why didn't she hand it to you personally before she left?""Stop making excuses for her!"Gavin was so anxious his heart was burning with anger, and he really didn't have the energy to explain everything.He headed for the door: "If we can't communicate, let's just not talk about it."Gavin's mother blocked his path, firmly opposed:"I won't let you go find Jane!""Since she wants to break up, it means she made the right choice.""You've been together for 12 years, and I opposed it from the start.""You didn't listen to me, so I let you two be.""Chloe has stayed by your side all these years without marriage, without status, don't you know that!""Compared to Jane, Chloe is more suitable for y

Day 8, Gavin came back.Walking out of the airport, Chloe looked melancholy.Getting into the car sent by the driver, the two sat in the back seat.Gavin lowered his head and texted me:"I'm on my way home, I miss you."It had been several days since his last message.He said he would be back on the 8th, on time to get our marriage certificate with me.I didn't reply.During the several days abroad, he had a great time with Chloe, never thinking of contacting me.He was certain that after 10 days, I should have calmed down.Chloe glanced at the message Gavin sent.Anxiety and loss filled her heart.Every day abroad, she posted over a dozen photos with Gavin.Every photo was angled to look as intimate as a couple.She deliberately posted these for Jane to see.Every day she waited for Jane to lose her temper and cancel the wedding with Gavin.But Jane remained so quiet, with no reaction at all.Eight years ago, when Gavin wanted to marry Jane, she persuaded him not to marry Jane yet, sa

Chloe followed my gaze and also looked at the opened box of condoms.She said nothing, seemingly waiting for me to blow up first.I still just said calmly:"I have other things to do. Hurry up.""Let’s go check the walk-in closet next door then."I followed her to the walk-in closet next door.An open suitcase lay on the floor.It was packed with vacation clothes, and sitting right on top of the clothes was a brand-new, unopened box of condoms.Chloe said: "I’m packing my bags. Gavin and I are flying abroad tomorrow to watch the match."Seeing my cold face and silence.Chloe deliberately added:"The World Cup only happens every four years. It’s super popular. So many people want to watch it but can’t squeeze their way in.""Those who can’t squeeze in are destined to be left out."My patience was gradually running out. My tone was cold and stern:"I’m only here for the pillow. You can have Gavin!"She looked startled for a second, then feigned innocence, using her most manipulative tone

Passing the living room, I saw Gavin’s clothes mixed in with her lacy women’s wear on the balcony drying rack.Including men’s underwear, pressed tightly against Chloe’s intimates.Chloe followed my gaze and said casually:"That bastard Gavin drank too much last night. He threw up all over himself and me.""So I washed his clothes while I was at it."It sounded like an explanation, but her words were full of provocation.She used to be less obvious about it.She even used to promise me that she and Gavin were just friends with no ulterior motives.She stopped saying that a couple of years ago, adopting a "believe what you want" attitude instead.Now, she had upgraded to declaring war with her eyes and veiled words.She was waiting for me to tear away the facade between her and Gavin, waiting for me to tear into her.But I merely gave a calm, "Mhm."Looking away, I accidentally spotted Gavin’s favorite coffee beans on the coffee table.Just like in our home, where there was always a sto
