My eyes quivered as I stammered, overwhelmed by mixed emotions:
“M–Mik
The warmth in Mike’s expression vanished instantly. With a look of disdain, scorned. “Don’t call me that so intimately. It makes me sick. You’re like a piece of gum I can’t scrape off–completely disgusting“”
His cruel words made my face pale, and my body began to tremble uncontrolli bly
In just a few days, he had transformed into someone unrecognizable.
Mike used to be so gentle, patient, and considerate. He’d never uttered words that could hurt me.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, forcing back my tears

“Engagement party? What a joke. Couldn’t you come up with a better excuse? Mike red. “You obviously found out I’m getting married and came “bere to cause trouble. Leave before I lose my temper!”

Mike flaunted the watch arrogamly.
One glance was enough for me to recognize it as a cheap knockoff worth at me a few thousand dollars.

And I nearly gave my heart to such a shallow and materialistic ma
Perhaps fate was showing me mercy–allowing me to see his true colors in to avoid a lifetime of regret
Mike frowned, irritated. “What are you laughing at?”
I replied coldly, Tm laughing at bowy utterly foolish you are.
“Tou dare insult me? Mike roared, raising his hand as if to strike me.
But perhaps aware of the crowd around us, he stopped himself at the last moment.
