Chapter 3.
Zoe sat down beside me in a confident manner and pulled out a bottle of perfume from her beg, handling
rit to me
“The wedding gift, this scent was very luxurious, 1 had used it for seven or eight years without changing.”
que laughed with her eyes squinted.
Thave to say, she handled things gracefully and had a Bikable personality. Even the wedding gift was for me, not for Marvin
I received a gift and said thank you
She took out her phone and added me on Line:
“If you ever got bullied in the future, remember to come and tell me. Even though Marvin and I grew up together since we were kids, I will protect you!”
The surrounding friends applauded one after another.
“She is indeed our eldest sister, and still so cool.”
Zoe paused, looked past me, and gazed at Marvin sitting on the other side of me
“Hey, what’s going on with you? It’s been three years and you’re speaking so linte?”
The people around were drinking, the ones who were drinking, and the ones who were just watching the excitement, but their eyes were fixed on the three of us, afraid to mass any exciting plot.
Marvin’s ears visibly turned red
He didn’t even dare to cum his head to look at her, just holding the wine glass and pretending to be humorous, saying, “It’s not that I have nothing to say, it’s just that I have become estranged from you and don’t know what to say.”
Zoe laughed and said, “Blame me for not contacting you in the past three years, right?”
She raised her glass to him and said, “Shall we keep in touch often in the future?
Marvin looked at me and said, “I am afraid of my wife, so in the future, we need to follow an additional procedure when contacting me. I have to inform my wife first!
They clinked their glasses together with a smile that had thawed their previous animosity. Everything was spoken openly, without any hidden meanings, completely straightforward.
I don’t know why, but I was sitting between the two of them and felt very uncomfortable..
Perhaps it was because we had spent three years together, but I had become very familiar with Marvin’s body language.
Tonight, he was too nervous,
Drank wine, sang songs and played guessing games.
Towards the end of the play, everyone had a bit too much to drink
Marvin lost the rock–paper–scissors game to Zoe and chose truth.
After behaving decently all night, Zoe suddenly acted willfully
She tilted her head and, slightly tipsy and enquettish, asked Marvin
“III crashed your wedding and proposed to you, would you run away with me?”
As soon as the question was asked, the already excited group of people immediately started making a commotion.
“It’s been a whole night, and finally you two stopped pretending”
“Yeah, that’s the taste!
“Come on, will you go with her or not!!
Marvin’s eyes were slightly red from drinking.
He looked at her, emotions surging in his eyes, and replied earnestly, “Yes.”
The group of people exploded immediately.
“Elopement! Elopement! Elopement!”
The cheers attracted everyone’s attention in this direction.

I sat between the two of them, feeling my breath becoming increasingly difficult, and my hands starting to tremble slightly.
I didn’t know how to face this awkward situation, so I made an excuse to escape to the bathroom. Holding back my tears, I sent a message to my best
friend Hannah Garcia
Can you pick me up and take me away from here as soon as possible?
Hannah’s phone rang immediately.
“What happened? Did those people bully you?”
“No, don’t ask yet, cans you come pick me up
I felt like crying.
Hannah became nous as soon as she heard it, her tone was extremely excited.
“Wait for me. I‘
t for the. I’ll be there soon! Ten minutes! No, seven minutes!”
“It’s not that urgent, drive slower and pay attention to safety.”
“Leave me alone!”
Seven minutes later, Hannah drove her Bugatti, zooming past in a blaze of speed.
The wheels were spinning so fast that they were almost emitting sparks.
As soon as I saw her, I couldn’t hold back, and my eyes turned red.
Hannah held my hand, suppressing her anger.
“How did you bully her?!”
“Marvin, are you a dead person? Can’t you see how she is so wronged? ||
Hannah was a wealthy heiress, known for her arrogance and commanding presence
As soon as she appeared, she immediately stunned a group of people.
Hannah’s eyes sharpened instantly as she caught a glimpse of Zoe.
so it was you here”
“oh, so
H
Zoe stood up and grabbed me, smiling affectionately.
“We were playing games together, why did you suddenly get impatient? I am used to being easygoing, it’s my first time interacting with such a delicate girl, I didn’t handle it well, my mistake.”
Hannah pulled me behind her.
Who let you touch her?
“I saw that you were not easygoing, you were pretending to be foolish!”
At that moment, Marvin also woke up from his drunken state.
He rubbed his forehead and so
up, saying, “Grace is tired, I should take her back”
Hannah sneered, “I have already arrived, do I need you? Just keep pretending to the dead. ”
The crowd stood awkwardly, watching Hannah Iselp me tidy up
She scolded while tidying up.
“I have told you long ago that with your appearance and personality, you should have married into a wealthy family and enjoyed a life of boury. But you Insisted on going to the home of a nouveau riche and suffering. Is that the kind of circle, full of scheming and hypocrisy, that someone as innocent as you should be in?”
Marvin’s family also had a net worth of billions.
There was no nouveau riche with a net worth of over one billion.
But when it came out of her mouth, no one dared to argue against it.
Hannah finished packing up and picked up my bag.
Without asking a single question, I saw the exquisitely packaged perfume inside and casually took it out and threw it on the ground
“What outdated stuff, and they have the nerve to give it as a gift.”
The perfume rolled on the ground with a tumble, rolling at Zoe’s feet.
Zoe couldn’t keep her face straight.
Hannah pulled me and we left.
Marvin chased after me and grabbed me at the door
“Grace, don’t be angry. In that atmosphere, she suddenly asked that question, and my mind went blank
I looked into Marvin’s affectionate eyes and suddenly lost all my strength.
“You wanted to say that it was your instinctive reaction, that you genuinely wanted to be with her?”
“Of course not. Grace, that was just a game. Il 1 answered incorrectly, she would lose face in front of her friends”
“Did you prefer to trample on my dignity to protect her reputation?
“I just gave her a dignified answer, but what I gave you was a marriage.”
I broke free from him and burst into laughter out of anger,
“Did I still
“Marvin, after being together for three years, I never realized that you were quite good at taking care of everyone’s feelings.”
At that moment, Hannah drove the car over and honked the hom desperately.
Marvin came to pull me again
“Or should I take you back, and we can have a good chat on the way.”
Hannah frowned, “If you have so much free time, why don’t you take your electric car out for a spin?”
Marvin choked up
His electric Bentley, for the first time, made him feel humiliated.
I opened the car door and got in. I turned around and said to Marvin
“Let’s cancel our wedding,”
The two of us, both need to think about it again
