How absurd!
Every time, it was I who was being unreasonable!
And the idea that I shouldn’t look for anyone else in my next life…
He was bound to be disappointed. The day after tomorrow is his birthday, and it is also the day James and I are getting our marriage certificate.
However, I don’t want any mishaps with my marriage to James and won’t tell him about the upcoming registration.
She just calmly reminded him, “John, everyone is an independent individual. I don’t belong to you, nor do I need to live attached to you. If anyone truly belongs to you… it’s your precious Elsa. It was you who chose Elsa. Since you’ve made your choice, you should be with her properly instead of always interfering in my life and ruining my good mood!”
“I didn’t choose Elsa…”
John wearily pressed his temple.
I really thought Lily was being particularly unreasonable.
But he didn’t want to break up with her and still patiently explained to her, “I’ve said many times before, I’ll take care of Elsa just out of sympathy and pity for her. She’s dying and won’t disturb us for long. I just want to be with her for her last moments!”
“You don’t need to tell me these things.”
Lily didn’t want to listen to his nonsense.
But he still firmly held her shoulders, and with her body unable to move freely, she could only suppress her growing annoyance and continue,
“I consider myself a qualified ex-girlfriend. I won’t be like you, popping up from time to time like a ghost. Since we’ve broken up, whether you pity Elsa or feel heartbroken for her or love her deeply, it’s none of my business. But John, you’re really quite kind. The person who abandoned you when you were down and out, and yet you still treasure her like a precious gem!”
“Elsa didn’t abandon me.”
John didn’t like people to mention what happened four years ago, and his brows inevitably furrowed.
“Elsa proposed to break up with me and go abroad four years ago because her family forced her. Although I’ve broken up with her, I did fail to protect her four years ago. I wronged her. I want her last days to be free of regrets. Lily, I won’t cheat, I won’t like anyone else. You’re the only one in my heart. Why can’t you understand me a little more?”
Four years ago, I had accidentally overheard Elsa tell her mother Wendy that she didn’t want to be burdened by John, who was crippled.
She also said she wanted to go abroad as soon as possible and marry some crown prince.
I didn’t know if Elsa had actually gotten married after going abroad, but she was definitely not forced to leave the country.
However, telling John these things would be meaningless.
Because he never believed me; he only believed in the pure and flawless Elsa in his heart.
“I really don’t want to argue with you.”
In a moment of distraction, Lily suddenly felt John tightly embrace her.
“Lily, can we make up?” He said.
“Let me go!” Lily shouted.
Once, I had truly loved his embrace.
His hug was warm, strong, and carried a faint scent of pine, giving me an indescribable sense of security.
But now, being held so tightly by him made me feel uncomfortable all over.
“John, how many times do I have to tell you not to disturb me anymore? In my heart, you’ve already cheated on me. The man I want, can’t possibly give another woman a wedding behind my back. Can’t possibly travel to the ends of the earth with another woman, doing all sorts of intimate things. The boyfriend I want won’t rent out an amusement park to put on a night of fireworks for another woman. Please, don’t come to disgust me anymore, okay?”
She found me disgusting again…
John’s eyes flared with pain.
His body stiffened, and the corners of his eyes were tinged with crimson.
Clearly, he still couldn’t believe that Lily would really want to break up with him.
Realizing something, he quickly grabbed Lily’s hand, as pure and white as marble.
Her wrist was bare..
The silver bracelets she treasured and never took off were not there!
“Where are the silver bracelets?”
The heavy blood color, along the corners of his eyes, instantly consumed his eyes.
He seemed like a lone wolf with one foot already over the edge of the cliff, his voice hoarse and painfully out of tune, “Speak! Where are the silver bracelets I made for you with my own hands?”
“Thrown away.”
Lily wasn’t lying.
When she moved out of the marital home, she sold quite a few things.
It was only after the second-hand store staff left that she suddenly remembered she had forgotten to sell the silver bracelets on her wrist.
Lily fell in her memory.
The silver bracelets were made by John after he collected scrap for a month, bought the materials, and crafted them with his own hands. They had once held great significance for me.
But apart from their sentimental value, the silver bracelets were not worth much.
Moreover, the so-called preciousness of those silver bracelets was, to me, a thing of the past.
I no longer wanted John himself; how could I possibly keep the silver bracelets?
On the night I moved out of John’s villa, I happened to see an elderly man with white hair rummaging through the trash next to the dumpster. I took off the silver bracelets and placed them in front of the old man.
Selling those silver bracelets could provide the old man with several good meals.
That was the last bit of significance they held.
“What did you say?”
John’s fingers on her wrist suddenly tightened. Clearly, he couldn’t believe she would really throw away the silver bracelets.
“What did you do with those silver bracelets? Tell me again!”
Lily didn’t evade. Her voice was even colder, devoid of any fluctuation. “Things that are unimportant and unwanted naturally go into the trash bin!”
“Lily!”
John was about to be driven mad by Lily’s defiant and rebellious attitude, her very embodiment of “Born Defiant.”
However, after calming down, he realized that Lily was speaking out of anger.
At that second-hand store, I examined the list over and over again.
Every single item I had given Lily over the years, even a pair of inconspicuous silver earrings, had been sold by her. But that list did not include the silver bracelets.
If she truly didn’t want the silver bracelets, she would have sold them as well. Why throw them away? After thinking this through, he stopped arguing with her and instead held her hand more tightly, speaking in a deep voice, “Stop deliberately trying to upset me. I know you’re making a fuss this time to make me take the initiative to bow down. I can’t live without you. Lily, I’m willing to bow down. Let’s stop arguing and fighting. Don’t run away from home anymore. Can we just live a good life together?”
Lily was about to say no when his phone rang abruptly.
He and Lily hadn’t yet resolved their issues and untied the knots in their hearts. At a time like this, he didn’t want to be disturbed.
However, seeing that the call was from Elsa, he feared she might have an emergency and answered the phone.
“Lizzy, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”
“John….”
Elsa’s voice was tinged with a noticeable sob, helpless and pitiful.
“There’s thunder outside, and I’m really scared……”
Hearing Elsa’s voice, John instinctively glanced at the windows at the end of the corridor.
Without realizing it, it had started raining heavily outside.
A flash of lightning streaked across the window, accompanied by howling north winds and peals of thunder.
Looking at the windows illuminated by the lightning, he couldn’t help but recall the night before when Elsa had nestled in his arms, trembling and vulnerable amidst the thunderstorm.
A sense of worry naturally arose in his heart.
