The Ives family is powerful.
Yannick’s grandpa’s birthday party will also
be a grand affair.
Yannick had originally prepared a gift for me,
but to show my sincerity, I still wanted to
choose one myself.
The moment the video call connected, a
handsome face appeared on the phone
screen.
He was wearing a black outfit, with a high
nose bridge and deep, dark eyes.
His thin lips under the light had beautiful and
clean lines.
Yannick’s voice didn’t quite match his
appearance.
He had a very aloof aura, but he spoke gently.
I showed him the gifts I had chosen based on
Yannick’s grandpa’s preferences, and he was
very patient.
Unknowingly, we chatted for more than an
hour.
At the end of the conversation, he said,
“Starling, I’ll have someone pick you up this
weekend.”
I nodded and replied, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, I went to wash.
- up.
く
When I came back to bed after washing up, I
picked up my phone and found a message
from a friend.
[Starling, are you okay? Today’s gathering
was originally to match you and Chad, but I
didn’t expect…]
I replied to my friend with a cheerful emoji, indicating that I was really fine.
After thinking about it, I sent another
message.
[I’m really engaged, and I won’t have anything
to do with Chad in the future.]
My friend’s side showed “typing…“, and after
a while, they replied,
<
[It’s good that you can see things clearly.]
i tugged at the corner of my mouth, exited
the chat page, and started browsing my
Moments.
The latest one was from Chad.
[Introducing my new little girlfriend, love her
the most~]
The accompanying picture was a photo of
Chad and Chloe.
استان
The text and the emoji clearly weren’t posted
by Chad himself.
It’s funny to think that I was with Chad for
three years, and he never let me touch his
phone.
Let alone use his phone to post on Moments.
But now…
It has nothing to do with me anymore.
I fell asleep not long after turning off my
phone.
But while I was sleeping soundly, I was woken
up by a phone call.
I squinted my eyes, fumbled to press the
answer button, and the next second, I heard
Chad’s voice on the phone.
“Starling, I’m drunk, come pick me up…”
I woke up instantly, cursing my bad luck in my
heart.
I should have blacklisted him!
Seeing that I wasn’t speaking, Chad laughed.
“Still angry? Saw the Moments? Hmm?”
His voice rose at the end, his tone filled with
delight.
“I lost the game, just messing around, I can
delete it in three days.”
I said coldly, “It has nothing to do with me.”
But I don’t know which nerve this sentence
touched, his laughter deepened.
“Okay, don’t be stubborn, I’ll buy you your favorite steamed dumplings from that place in
the east of the city tomorrow morning.
remember to save room, be good.”
- The last word made me feel disgusted.
I hung up the phone directly, blacklisted him,
turned off my phone, and went to sleep.
