All Chapters of Despised Relationships (English Version) : Chapter 11 - Chapter 14

I noticed that Steve had been leaving for several days. He never ate here anymore, so I always ended up eating alone. I didn't know where he went, but he always came home drunk. Not too drunk, though—he could still manage to drive himself back. Every time he was drunk, I often screamed at him, but in the end, I ignored it all, even though it hurt me deeply.
