Proposed for RevengeChapter 3

On the way home, I couldn't help but cry.

Five years of dating, and if you count the four years I chased him.

I had loved this man for a full nine years.

But this was the result.

It also brought back the chat logs I had seen earlier.

As long as Seraphina was willing to come back from abroad for him, he would dump me and marry her.

Today, his goal was achieved.

No wonder he had rushed out in such a hurry this afternoon; he must have gone to the airport to pick her up.

Just then, Luke's phone vibrated. I opened it and saw a message from Seraphina.

But my gaze immediately zeroed in on Seraphina's profile picture.

They had matching profile pictures! Probably changed during that gathering just now.

I remembered last year, I found a famous cartoonist to draw a beautiful avatar for Luke and me.

I excitedly asked Luke to change to the new avatar.

But he just tore into me, calling me childish and telling me to focus on my work.

Yet now, he had a much more childish one with Seraphina.

Then, I felt a small box in Luke's suit pocket.

I carefully took it out.

Inside was indeed a dazzling pink diamond ring.

Engraved on the back was Seraphina's name.

I had asked him countless times for a pink diamond engagement ring.

But he always said money needed to be spent on the company.

However, he had just been waiting for Seraphina all along, to engrave her name on this most important ring.

I tried to wipe away the tears that were spilling from my eyes again. Then, while Luke was sound asleep, I used his fingerprint to unlock his phone and opened Seraphina's message.

"My darling, don't forget to help me choose a wedding dress tomorrow."

Boom! Seeing that message, my head buzzed.

I'd brought up wedding dresses many times, and he always told me to pick one out myself, refusing to accompany me with the excuse that the IPO was imminent.

The truth was, he didn't care what I bought at all.

Because, to him, I was never going to wear that wedding dress.

At that moment, I truly wanted to cry my heart out.

But seeing the driver still in front, I could only dig my nails into my thigh, trying desperately to hold back my tears.

My nails were already deeply embedded in my flesh.

I could only let the physical pain replace the pain in my heart.

And desperately try to let go of this love I had clung to for nine years.

The next morning, I still followed Seraphina's instructions and made him ginger-honey tea.

However, he took one sip and spat it out.

"What the hell is this? Why did you add ginger?!"

"Don't you know I hate the smell of ginger the most?!"

But I distinctly remembered Seraphina saying he loved the taste of ginger-honey tea the most.

Soon, I understood.

He didn't like the taste of ginger-honey tea; he liked Seraphina's taste.

He liked his first love's taste.

I hadn't slept a wink last night, but I'd come to understand a lot about this relationship. Seeing him like this now, for once, I wasn't angry. I poured the entire bowl of ginger-honey tea into the trash.

Luke put on his shoes and said coldly, "The company's about to go public. I'm busy. Don't cause any more trouble for me."

He turned and slammed the door behind him.

I knew he was going to accompany Seraphina to pick out a wedding dress.
