Chapter 16
I nodded with a smile and extended my hand.
“Wow, what a big diamond ring.”
The day before the wedding, it was raining heavily.
I went downstairs to take out the trash and saw Shaun standing in the
rain.
He didn’t bring an umbrella and got drenched like a wet chicken. He stared blankly at our house window.
Seeing me appear, he wiped his face and apologized tremblingly.
“Sorry.”
“Mona, I didn’t know you had been pushed to this point.”
“I have already cut off all cooperation with the Shen family, and I will not have any further contact with them in the future.”
“Can you-”
I suddenly remembered that when I was entering the price just now, my hand was shaking and it seemed like I pressed a few extra zeros, but I didn’t pay attention.
“I interrupted him in mid–sentence.”
“Shaun, I was getting married tomorrow.”
Shaun was stunned.
Chapter 16:
The silver rainlines danced in the light poles.
In Shaun’s eyes, the last flicker of hope was extinguished by the rain, leaving only ashes.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and his throat rolled with difficulty.
“Congratulations, Mona.”
“Wish you happiness.”
“Thank you.”
I threw away the garbage.
When I went back upstairs, I glanced down from the window.
Shaun was still there.
The rain curtain hung from the sky, enveloping him from all directions.
He was alone.
It seemed like I was forever trapped in dark and damp memories.
I stood under the warm light, shivering, and wrapped the blanket tightly around me.
It had nothing to do with me.
Arnold and I shared three meals and four seasons of fireworks.
The future looked promising.
