looked at her disappointedly.
“Even though, because of your words, you obediently listened, Steve listened to you, I didn’t want to blame you. But Vivian, you know, right? Steve likes you; you know!”
I truly considered Vivian as a friend.
She had a gentle and unhurried personality, and it was quite comfortable to be with her.
Once, I argued with Steve, and everyone came to persuade me, telling me what I should do and how to resolve the conflict.

She said, “Josie, that day Henry was downstairs, he had drunk too much before I took Steve upstairs. If I did something that made you misunderstand, then I promise you, I will never meet Steve again in the future.”
Treplied, “You can tell these things to his next partner, we have already broken up!”
I was never a person with a good temper
Over the years, I would indeed take the initiative to make peace and actively resolve issues after encountering problems
But when conflicts arose, I never backed down from a fight.
with Steve
So I came out of the hospital and went straight to the hardware store, where I bought a hammer, and then I went to Steve’s house
This house was bought by him, no doubt
But there were many things that I purchased.
For example, the shoe rack outside the door.
I swung the hammer, and the shoe rack fell with a loud noise.
Just as the second hammer fell, the door suddenly swung open from the inside, My friend anxiously and hurriedly stuck their head out, and upon seeing me, their faces were filled with horror
“Josie? What
were you doing?”
“Are you all here?”
“Ah, we were drinking tea!”
“That’s great!”
I walked in carrying a hammer.
My friend took a deep breath and stepped back repeatedly.
Then I saw Steve
He was still wearing his bome clothes, with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes, looking like he hadn’t slept.
He looked at me, his gave heavy.

I slid past him and walked straight into the living room. Amidst the exclamations of my friends, I smashed the television with a hammer.
Someone wanted to stop me.
Steve muttered, “Let her smash!”
“You all leave, my business with her has nothing to do with you!” The room was in a mess, only Steve and I were left.
He spoke, “Have you had enough? If you haven’t vented enough, you can continue smashing!”
….
“What?”
“The clothes you are wearing. I bought them, take them
Steve remained silent for a long time, letting out a cold laugh.
He took off his shirt with one hand and locked off his pants,
“Are you satisfied?
I didn’t say anything and went straight to the bedroom.

Steve has changed his clothes.
He leaned against the wall, holding a cigarette.
As I walked past him, he grabbed my wrist.
“What else do you want?”
I looked at him. “Our business is finished, and there is no connection anymore!”
Steve’s hand suddenly tightened, causing me pain.
“Josie, you’ve done enough. You’ve destroyed our home and ruined my reputation. What else are you not satisfied with?”
I chuckled
“This question should be asked to you. You have been finding fault enough, and now that I am voluntarily stepping back, what else are you unsatisfied with?
“I didn’t!”
Steve gritted his teeth and spoke through clenched jaws, word by word.
I broke free from his hand and pointed to the location of his heart.
“Ask yourself, come on. Don’t be such a coward, isn’t it just falling in love with someone else? You don’t even dare to admit it?”
After completely breading up with Steve, I went on a trip with a group to another place to gather inspiration.
first, my mood was not as calm as I appeared.
During the day, I could talk and laugh with people.
When the night grew late and quiet, tears would always flow.
I couldn’t help but recall every little detail about Steve and Vivian, as well as my memories of them.
Steve was quite attractive.
He looked good, coupled with that rascal–like appearance.
Always boldly approached and flirted
Steve would always casually block them back
Over the years, Steve and I have had many arguments about various things, but we have never had a romantic relationship. Chepler 7

I never thought he would like someone else.
Even when he was being critical of me in various ways, I never thought it was because he had fallen for someone else.
gentle, so obedient. Completely different from the dominance and tyranny in front of me
Was that what he looked like when he liked someone?
What do my nine years count for?
Did he never really like me?
The emotional turmoil caused me sleepless nights and restless meals.
Just the thought of him comparing me to Vivian and feeling like I couldn’t measure up made me suffocate.
After another sleepless night, I left the hotel and went to a bar, ready to get drunk.
I hadn’t even reached the bar when someone stopped me on the way.
They were drunk, staggering towards me.
In an instant, my heart rose to my throat.
Trembling and stepping back, he took out his phone and dialed 911
“Beauty, alone so late, would you accompany me and my friends for a drink?”
The smell of alcohol on their bodies rushed straight into my face. I held my breath, turned around abruptly, and ran as fast as I could!
But he was caught by someone’s hair.
I screamed in agony and spoke rapidly into the phone, “I am on Kirkland Road, being harassed, help me!” “Damn it, they dare to call the police!” The phone was snatched by them and smashed on the ground.
I struggled with all my strength, grabbing, biting, scratching, and kicking, feeling desperate in my heart.
The explosiveness of human beings is always astonishing.
In such a situation of great disparity in strength, I stubbornly prevented them from taking advantage.
But it also ignited their anger.
Just as my hands were being restrained, my

I was lucky.
Because several police officers happened to be on duty nearby, they were able to arrive so quickly.
Otherwise, what I would be facing, I dare not imagine.
Sitting at the police station, drinking hot water, I couldn’t help but slap myself when I finally came to my senses. Josie, you’re being dramatic.
Drowning sorrows with alcohol?
Compared to one’s own life and fortune, what does a little emotional pain matter?
Why couldn’t we get
over it?
Is it impossible to get over it, or are you just forcing yourself to “create new words to express sorrow“?
When I came out of the police station, it was already daylight.
The warm sunshine on my body, even made me feel a bit like being reborn.
So, what else couldn’t be overcome?
To deal with this matter, I stayed in the local area for soime time.
Halfway through, Steve gave me a call
He asked me, “The wedding ring has arrived, when are you coming back?”
I thought he was sick, so 1 blocked and deleted him directly.
Later, his friend called me a few times, but I declined all of them.
Until our mutual friend contacted me. “Steve has already started preparing for the wedding
E, what’s going on with you guys?”
I frowned, “Then you remind him not to mess around, otherwise in the end, he will be the one who embarrasses himself.” “But he has to listen to us! You know, besides you, who else has he listened to!” I found it funny, he hasn’t listened to me.
“If it doesn’t work, you can let Vivian give it a try”
“Vivian? Don’t you know? She broke up with Henry.”
This couldn’t help but make ne curious
“What happened?”
“I don’t know, Henry didn’t say either. I guess they just couldn’t get along. After all, they only met through blind dating, and there wasn’t that much emotional attachment. If they broke up, they broke up.
I nodded and said nothing more.
The people and things that once caused me unbearable pain now sound like gossip about someone else,
Listening is not enough, it doesn’t sink in.
After another week, I boarded the return flight.
I don’t know how Steve found out about my flight, but he showed up at the airport. He said, “I’Itake you home.”
I avoided his hand.
“We have ended.”
Unlike before, when Steve was rebellious, he is now somewhat melancholic.
The whole person seemed to have lost energy.
My refusal made him pause, his outstretched hand clenched into a fist, and then he sadly let it go.

He did not say a word from beginning to end…
I didn’t either.
I only glanced at him before the door closed.
Later at eleven o’clock, when I went downstairs to pick up the takeout, as soon as I opened the door, he was sitting curled up with his long legs at my doorstep.
When he looked up at me, his helpless expression was like that of an abandoned puppy-
I endured and endured.
“What exactly did you want to do?”
Steve’s lips tightened into a straight line.
Without waiting for him to speak, I stopped him.
“I went to pick up the takeout first, and we can talk when I come back!
I said I wanted to talk, but I had no idea where to start.
The matter between me and Steve has already come to an end in my case.
There seems to be an ellipsis with him.
Rarely, this time Steve spoke first
He said, “I don’t understand!TM
“I don’t understand why I couldn’t get over it this time.”
“Over the years, we have had countless bigger fights that we were able to move past. Why can’t we move past this one?”
Steve spoke very slowly. After he finished speaking, he stared at me without blinking, waiting for an answer.
I remained stent for a long time.
