Chapter 2
After getting engaged.
We had planned to watch a movie one day, but as soon as we met, he was called away by a phone call.
By then, it had become the norm for him to be called away by phone.
He explained to me that his childhood friend had returned to their home country and he needed to go pick her up.
Her family went bankrupt.
Her parents died in a car accident, leaving her as an orphan. She was very pitiful.
Her parents treated him well when they were alive.
Her name was Yaritza.
Since that day, Vincent was frequently called away, and the time we spent together became less and less
He liked Lego, so I spent a lot of money to buy a limited–edition Lego set. I worked hard for half a month to assemble it and eagerly presented it to him. Seeing his happy expression, I was also very satisfied.
Just what he liked. Yaritza liked too.
She smiled at him and asked for it, and although he was reluctant, he still gave it to her.
After I found out, I felt very sad and secretly cried.
When they met again, he explained, “She is a friend, I can’t refuse her. Don’t think too much, I have no other intentions towards her. I will treat you the same way another day.”
I was coaxed like this.
He was a very good person, considerate and attentive to everyone.
To know etiquette and observe traditions.
About half a year after getting engaged, we went mountain climbing with our friends, and Yaritza was unexpectedly among them.
This was not the first time I had seen her, but it was the first time I had a clear understanding of her thoughts.
Halfway up, the two of us fell slightly behind. Suddenly, Yaritza accidentally bumped into me, seemingly without intention.
She and I fell down the stairs and rolled into the mountains.
My arm hurt so much that I couldn’t lift it at all. I turned my head and looked at Yaritza with confusion and anger.
And she, leaning closer to me, whispered in my ear, “Reina, if I say it was you who bumped into me, do you think Vincent would believe me? Would he help you first, or help me?”
When Vincent and a few friends heard the sound and hurried over, I saw Yaritza, with tears in her eyes, softly sobbing, “Sister Reina, maybe she was tired from climbing and accidentally bumped into me because she couldn’t stand steady.”
After speaking, he timidly glanced at me.
I wanted to explain, but as I looked up and caught a glimpse of Vincent, I suddenly felt frozen in place.
He didn’t believe me, he picked up Yaritza and looked down at me condescendingly, saying “Reina, don’t be unreasonable.”
Yes, it’s true. Because I had two arguments with him before about Yaritza, so when something happened, it was all my fault.
Throwing a tantrum for no reason?
I never expected that this worn–out joke could be applied to myself.
