It started pouring, and I did not bring an umbrella when I rushed to the bar. I had no choice but to stand at the entrance and get a ride through an app.Just then, a car stopped right next to me. I frowned as I glanced at the number plate, but I only managed to make out two identical numbers in the rain. I quickly hopped into the car to escape the downpour. “Thank you, sir. You…”When I looked up, I saw a familiar face. It was my childhood neighbor, Jason Evans. He handed me a towel as he gazed at me calmly and said, “I was rushing back for your wedding dinner. How did you end up in such a mess?” I let out a sigh and slowly dried my hair. “I got dumped. But aren’t you working with crocodiles abroad? Why are you back driving for e-hailing services?” Jason froze briefly and burst into laughter. “I bet that’s not what your mom said. Perhaps she meant I studied finance abroad?”He did not dwell on the subject any further. “Let’s go. I’ll take you home. Don’t worry about that

Jason closed his laptop and stood in front of me with his arms crossed. “What’s wrong?” Joe noticed the distress on my face, and his expression darkened. “Veronica, I want an explanation,” he demanded. I stepped forward and stood beside Jason. Then, I spoke calmly. “Joe, you thought that it was amusing to skip our wedding and make me a laughing stock. From that moment on, we already parted ways.“You were the one who proposed, but it didn’t matter if your parents and friends didn’t come. I didn’t really care about that because I only liked you.“But you treated me like a simp, like someone you could summon or dismiss at will, didn’t you?”Joe became flustered and said, “That night, you…” I nodded. “Yes, that night, I heard you and saw how you allowed Kimberly to kiss you. What happened between you and her after that is irrelevant to me. But that alone is cheating, and it implies that we’re no longer together.” Joe froze momentarily, but he grew agitated and said, “I didn’t a

Jason leaned against the railing. Meanwhile, the evening light danced on the surface of the rippling water behind him. “After that, I secured a collaboration with the Smith family and made plans to return for future career development. “Then, I caught you falling head over heels for that fool. “At the party, I asked him if he liked you. He didn’t say much and asked me if I had feelings for you too.” He turned and looked at me with a hint of guilt on his face. “I was too young and impulsive. Feeling competitive at that moment, I nodded.” I did not need him to finish, as I started to remember what had happened. That night, Joe called me at 11 p.m. and asked me to pick him up. He made me wait in the cold at the entrance for an hour before he finally came out. The first thing he did was pinch my face and stare at it for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “Such an ordinary face…” It took me two years to understand what he meant. How could anyone fall for someone like me?

When Jason rushed to the hospital, the police were questioning me. It was the same two officers who had been on duty. I felt apologetic about troubling them again.Jason hurried over with a concerned look. “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”I shook my head, and he finally seemed to relax.The person who tried to hit me was Kimberly. She was not seriously injured, but her airbag had knocked her unconscious. They took her away after she woke up.As for Joe, I was not sure of his condition. I only knew that he was still in critical care and seemed to be seriously hurt.It should be noted that the sports car that crashed into us was a gift from Joe himself.It was my first time meeting Joe’s parents. They appeared quite stern, but they did not place any blame on me. They just left after they asked a few questions.I felt very unsettled. I leaned on Jason, but I was overwhelmed with more emotions.Jason noticed my distress and held my hand. He comforted me softly and said, “Don’t w
