Semua Bab Goodbye Scumbag, I’m Getting Married: Bab 1 - Bab 8

I returned to my room and got changed before wrapping myself in a thick blanket. His phone which was placed nearby kept buzzing with new text messages.Feeling slightly annoyed, I picked up his phone and sure enough, it was a text message from Winnie.She had sent him a photo. Like shards of razor-sharp glass, the diamond ring in the photo was incredibly hard to look at. It was a photo of two hands clasped together. I instantly recognized one of those hands. After all, it belonged to Luca. Before this, I asked him if we could go out and pick a wedding ring together. However, he would use work as an excuse to turn me down again and again.“I’m too busy today, don’t you understand?” His brows furrowed and in his eyes, there was a look of tiredness and annoyance. Initially, I assumed he was just uninterested in lovey-dovey acts. Looks like I was wrong. He just couldn’t bother doing it for me. There were dozens of photos, each with a different ring. It was clear that these

I did not apologize, nor would I ever apologize.Winnie held her ankle and yelped in pain. Luca finally gave up and carried her downstairs. I felt like sneering at them as I watched them leave.I took out my phone and scheduled an appointment with the orthopedic department at a nearby hospital. I was planning to visit the hospital in a few days. Who would have expected that I would get injured again today?After the consultation ended, I limped out of the doctor’s office. It was a humiliating sight. It was at that moment I bumped into Luca.He was still holding onto Winnie, exchanging silent whispers. They looked so sweet together. A nurse who was passing by mused, “She only has a light sprain and can walk on her own.” Luca smiled dotingly, “I’m just worried she’d be in pain.” Upon hearing that, Winnie blushed.In the end, we bumped into each other in front of the elevator.Their expressions changed the moment they saw me.Winnie squirmed around to get away from Lu

A while later, hot tears began rolling down my face. I would never go back to him.Flashbacks of the past started playing in my mind. I suddenly remembered I got to know Luca because of someone.However, if I could do it all over again, I would avoid him altogether.Luca’s elder sister was my college classmate. It was the first time I left home, and I was struggling to get used to living on my own.She was my best friend, and she taught me many life skills.It was also because of her that I got to know Luca.They were orphans; both their parents had passed on.At the time, Luca was still a high school junior. He was in his rebellious phase and hated studying.At the time, we weren’t that close, but it wasn’t that bad either.That was until Luca’s sister died from cancer.Before she passed on, she begged me to visit Luca whenever I had the time.I did not turn down her request.That was how I entered Luca’s life. In this process, I marched deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Since I had no intention of taking part in the mess before me, I headed for the door.Jonah’s car had already arrived. Luca wanted to chase after me but was held back by Winnie. As I got in the car, Jonah handed me a camera.Someone had taken photos of me questioning Winnie. In the photos, she was on her knees while I stood over her like a bully.“Do you need help with this?” I smiled. “No thanks.” Outside the car, Luca kept knocking on the window.Our car eventually drove off. Through the rear-view mirror, I could see Luca standing there in humiliation. I shut my eyes.On the day before my wedding, my aunt came up to me and said, “There seems to be someone outside…” She wanted to tell me there was someone outside looking for me, but she was quickly stopped by Mom. I walked to the window and sure enough, I saw Luca standing downstairs. He was leaning against his car, and the floor around him was littered with cigarette butts.When he saw me, his eyes lit up. I avoided h
