She wanted to achieve her goal step by step, but in the end, she lost her goal.
On the wedding night, Jonathan hit her. From that very moment, Alice had already forgotten how proud she had been, and her self-esteem had been completely shattered.
But Alice didn't blame Jonathan. Maybe at the moment when she was beaten, she hated Jonathan, but after that, she didn't hate him so much.
She couldn't tell why, but now Alice could recognize herself more clearly. She had despised people around her before.
Now, Alice had found her place. Jonathan let out a sigh.
"Jacob and I were born enemies of each other. We have a grudge against each other since we were little. In others' eyes, he was born with a crown. And I was always regarded as an idler. "
Jonathan said coldly without any expression on his face, but there was a hint of pain hid between his eyebrows.
Yes, he had been competing with Jacob for so many years. But her efforts were always ignored. People thought he was just a mediocre man.
Perhaps some people could only be regarded as a foil. After so many years being a foil, Jonathan was still drowned in the crowd.
"But now, I know what he wants to do. He wants to destroy me. Jacob resigned on purpose. I should know he was up to something to against me. Now, he is making moves. "
Jonathan lowered his head, half of the cigarette in his hand had burned to ashes. Alice just listened quietly without saying a word.
Because she didn't care about what he said at all.
"Is it painful to be with me, Alice?" Jonathan looked at Alice with his head tilted to one side and fixed his eyes on Alice.
Alice didn't show any expression on her face. She just looked at Jonathan for a while and said two words.
"Not really." Alice said indifferently, and she was not lying.
Since Alice left Jacob, she always felt pain and her heart ache. Even if now she was with Jonathan, the pain she felt did not change a bit.
"Really? I thought you were in pain. To be honest, I never thought that I would get married. I'm used to being free, especially compared with Jacob, I'm just a playboy. "
Jonathan let out a sigh of relief and calmed down a lot.
It was wrong for Jonathan to hit Alice, but when he lost his temper, he couldn't control himself.
After that, Jonathan would feel more relaxed. Perhaps it was Jonathan's nature, because sometimes he even felt that he was a little cold-blooded.
"Forget it. I'm tired. Go to bed early today."
Alice stood up and walked past Jonathan. Her back looked so desolate as if she didn't even have any feelings for Jonathan.
"Alice." Jonathan gently called her name, and Alice stopped.
Alice thought that Jonathan was a hopeless case, but at this time, she changed her views. Maybe Jonathan was not that worse. At least, Jonathan was reasonable.
Alice had changed a lot to the people around her recently. In the past, she had been paranoid and thought that something would not change forever. But today, she suddenly found that many things seemed to be different.
Many things were not what they looked like, and they could be re-defined.
