Chapter 1
When my husband came to pick me up at the hospital, my best friend Kylie Hancock was sitting in the passenger seat.
Her smile remained bright and generous, but she had no intention of giving up her seat.
“Long time no see. I have been sitting in the passenger seat for so long. Is it okay for me to sit for a while since I just returned to the country, Mrs. Carlson?”
Kendrick Carlson, sitting in the driver’s seat, remained silent and simply changed the subject.
“How were the inspection results?”
I clenched the pregnancy report in my hand, opened the backseat door, and drove slowly.
“Just indigestion.”
I thought Kylie wouldn’t be at today’s class reunion, after all, I heard she had been abroad for three years and doing well.
If I had known that she would come, I definitely would not have participated.
I said, “Jude, how come you’re still as delicate as before? I never expected that even indigestion could land you in the hospital.”
“It was simply a waste of medical resources.”
She still called me by my previous nickname, as if we were still as close as before.
She tapped the decoration I had placed in the car.
“And Kendrick, your car cost at least a few million, making the ladies gossip. Are you really a man?”
Kendrick just looked ahead and chuckled with delight, “She liked it.”
“Tsk, I just didn’t like it, such a handsome car, dressed like a misfit.”
I could buy you one, would you like it?
“Tsk, stop pretending to be the boss in front of me. Without me, who would help you climb the ranks?”
The curvature of Kendrick’s lips was charming, I hadn’t seen him smile like that in a long time.
The air conditioning in the car was turned up high, and my heart felt as if it was filled with icy cold water.
I picked up the thin blanket beside me and wrapped it around myself.
“Are you cold?” Kendrick frowned at me through the rearview mirror, ready to turn up the temperature.
Kylie, the front seat passenger, suddenly grabbed his hand.
“Ah! But I was so hot, if you were cold, why not open the window and let the hot air blow in? Anyway, it’s almost over, so let’s just bear with it.” Their hands naturally intertwined until Kendrick saw me nod, and only then did he refocus on driving.
of driving
“One of you was afraid of the cold, and the other was afraid of the heat. I really don’t know how you managed to live together in the same dormitory before.”
This time Kylie didn’t respond.
I smiled.
“Did you forget? She used to go out with you every day back then, hardly staying in the dormitory.”
Kendrick didn’t speak, and Kylie also lowered her head to fiddle with her phone.
The silence in the air seemed like a kind of guilt.
I have known Kylie since we were young
Her father passed away early, and her mother was a maid in our family.
We slept in the same bed, dressed each other’s dolls, shared the same pack of sanitary pads, and talked about the boys in our class late at night.
It was only much later that I realized we had both fallen in love with Kendrick.
At first, I would occasionally invite Kylie on our dates, which Kendrick had some objections to.

But I didn’t expect that, gradually, during the trip of the three, the person who was sent to buy water became me.
Occasionally, they would also participate in gatherings among friends.
Didn’t call me.
Because I neither wanted to hang out in internet cafes, nor would I go up the mountain to shoot birds, and I definitely didn’t dare to participate in their motorcycle activities.
And Kylie was interested in all of these – even if she didn’t know, she was willing to learn.
I never felt their behavior exceeded boundaries, only felt happy myself.
Best friends and boyfriends were good brothers.
Just like we were a harmonious family.
Until one day
She bet with me that Kendrick would choose her, not me.
She lost, but it seems like I didn’t win either.
Kylie went abroad, with Kendrick providing both the opportunity and the funding. She expressed her desire to study abroad, and he wholeheartedly supported her.
And I, as the protagonist of the union between the two families, had no right to refuse.
The gathering was even more difficult to endure than I had imagined.
I don’t know who ordered a salmon, my stomach churned, I covered my mouth pretending to feel unwell, and left the dining table.
The restroom was inside the private room, and the soundproofing effect was average.
So when Kylie said she was going back to her country for “chasing love“.
I heard it very clearly.
A burst of commotion surged into my ears like a wave.
“Who else could make our Ms. Hancock chase after them? Tell us!”
“I dare not say, I might provoke someone later.”
“You said it, whoever dares to make you angry, I’ll help you chase them down,” said Kendrick.
“That was what you said.”
“Um.”
“That person was far away, yet close at hand.”
་
The outside suddenly became quiet, as still as my breath.
Gradually, there was laughter again, and I heard Kendrick’s voice of helplessness.
“Kylie, stop it.”
I pushed the door and went out.
I just realized that Kylie had already safely sat in the position I was just in, leaning against Kendrick, with lingering emotions in her eyes.
Kendrick got up and walked over, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you feeling better?”
Like many others before, he only needed to show a slight reaction to make me feel as if I were basking in the spring breeze.
No matter what happened, as long as he spoke, I would automatically reveal everything one by one,
Because his dignity was more important than my emotions.
And it seemed like he also believed that I would always be sensible.
1 looked up at him and slapped him with a “smack“.
Those usually cold and self–assured eyes suddenly became momentarily distracted.

Kylie’s scream could be heard not far away.
“Judith Morgan! Have you gone mad?”
I just coldly looked at the man in front of me, the man I had loved for several years, and said, “Kendrick, let’s get divorced.”
