His first reaction was to question me, “Did you touch my computer? Didn’t I say it was full of work–related files? How could you do that? Don’t I have any privacy?”
Realizing that he was getting too agitated, Antonio took a deep breath and was about to explain.
I interrupted him with a sneer, “You were busy spending your stag night. crying in Mandy’s arms. Your team leader was in urgent need of the files but couldn’t reach you, so he called me. Do you think I want to touch your computer? I feel sick after seeing all those photos, okay?” computer? I feel sick after seeing
It was the first time in the eight years of our relationship that I had turned cold and resolute towards him. Antonio, however, thought I was just jealous and making a fuss.
When he spoke again, his tone softened, with a hint of appeasement.
He said, “I can explain the things on the computer. I just stored them for so long that I forgot to delete them.
“As for the wedding, you know I was dumped by her before, and I just said that in front of my friends to save myself some face. I didn’t expect you to misunderstand.
“Trust me, from the moment I promised to marry you, she was no longer in my heart Taking care of her was just out of friendship. After knowing her return. I just wanted to settle the past with her.”
To me, his explanation was like an excuse for his overstepping behaviors.
I deepened my sneer and said coldly. “Is that so? Antonio, are you saying
that you have been in a relationship with me for eight years without ever settling your past with her? What am I. a broom to clean up your memories?
“I don’t even remember how many times you have left me behind for her, and I don’t need your explanations anymore. Your actions are the best answer. Did you not find it funny when you said all that?
“You have never cared about whether I’m sad, disappointed, or to leave. What are you doing here now, then? To hear me say goodbye to you face- to–face?”
His face gradually turned pale as I questioned him. He moved his lips but couldn’t say a word.
