“I was hit by a mad dog.”
I smiled lightly.
Wasn’t it?
The way Curtis protected Kate was like a vicious dog protecting its food.
Suppressing the pain in my heart, I informed my parents that I was safe.
I was browsing the Instagram’s post, Kate had just updated the nine–square grid.}
Eight sweet photos of Curtis and her at the wedding, with a bunch of red roses covered with morning dew in the center.
The caption: [Love someone, not just talk, but see what he does.]}
I gave a thumbs up from the bottom of my heart.}
This sentence was really a wake–up call, reminding me how much Curtis loved her.”
She loved red roses the most. In the past two years, Curtis sent her a bouquet every week, rain or shine.
They had video calls every day and Curtis thought it was normal, just ordinary friends chatting.
Every New Year’s Eve, he would fly to the Zaford to accompany her because she would be lonely.}
Chocolate for the Valentine’s Day, etc,… all holiday gifts were never absent.”
In the face of my doubts, he always had a preaching tone.
“Sacha, there are still responsibilities after the marriage ends. We will be tied together for a lifetime. This has nothing to do with love.“} But if there was no love, which man would be willing to take such responsibility?
A few minutes later, Kate sent a recording.
After clicking it, her crying voice came.}
“Curtis, can we not divorce? You obviously still love me, why did you agree to the marriage?”
Curtis sighed softly.
“Grandpa gave an ultimatum. He owes the Thompson Family a life and he must let me marry Sacha to repay this favor. He hates debts the most. Even if it’s not me, it will be other children of the Allen family. But in that case, I will be expelled from the family tree forever.”> Kate asked timidly, “Then… do you like Sacha?“}
After a long silence, Curtis’s voice was terribly calm. “I don’t like her.”
My heart suddenly hurt.
Actually, I did doubt that he had no feelings for me.
But every time I asked him, he looked at me with strange eyes.
“Sacha, how I treat you, can’t you feel it? Do you have to tell me? Okay, listen carefully! You are the love of my life.” Now that I thought about it, the word “love” was probably just a neutral word without any emotional color in his mouth. My phone suddenly vibrated and as soon as I answered it, Wally’s voice, which was both excited and uneasy, came.§
“Sacha, the wedding is already being prepared. We agreed to get married in a week, so don’t go back on your word!” Before I could answer, he added viciously, “If you dare to go back on your word, I will live in your hospital for a long time and hire you as a private doctor, so that you will be too busy to do anything. Don’t even think about marrying anyone else in this life!”
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.}
“Master Hudson, you have been saying harsh words since you were a child, but when have you ever really done it?”
“Miss Thompson, you have been a bad mouth since you were a child. Wait until you get married and see how I will deal with you!” “Just try it!”
“Just try it!“2
“Hmph!”
“Hmph!”
We hung up the phone at the same time, but I laughed out loud the next second.
The Thompson and Hudson families were old friends and Wally was my childhood sweetheart.
Every time we met, we either bickered or quarreled. When I was 18, he suddenly confessed his love to me and I thought it was a prank and rejected it directly.
Who knew he was serious and he had been chasing me ever since then.
Until the day when Curtis and I got engaged, he said with red eyes, “Sacha, you will never get a man as good as me,”
As a result, yesterday, this hypocritical young master still ran to snatch the bride secretly.
Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth rose unconsciously.
