Usually, others would express their concerns over their child’s wellbeing after such a serious incident. As I couldn’t take it anymore, I interrupted him and said, “Dad, if you’re going to talk about the banquet in the afternoon, don’t worry because I’ll be there. Is there anything else?”
“Crystal has been away for a few years. Hence, I don’t want anyone to mess up the banquet. You better keep that in mind and show up on time with Lyle. Otherwise, get yourself ready to bear the consequences of your mistakes!”
He hung up the call once he made himself clear. I had a hard time comprehending the reason he was worried Lyle wouldn’t show up. My so-called husband was way more pumped up than me the moment he found out Crystal would soon be back.
Has he no shame at all? He picked a fight with me on Bianca’s behalf a few days ago, yet he’s currently pumped up for Crystal’s return.
Since Crystal has forsaken him for once for the sake of her career, I’m pretty sure she’s going to do it again!
When the image of Lyle returning to Crystal and being ditched all over again flashed back in my mind, I realized how pathetic I was. At the end of the day, I was nothing more than Lyle’s backup, and Lyle was the same to Crystal.
After putting on a relatively plain-colored dress, I departed without going through the hassle of dolling myself up. On my way there, I encountered Nancy going on a date with a handsome man.
The man had a pair of aqua-blue eyes and a charming smile. I winked at her because I finally figured out the reason she couldn’t make it to the banquet. Well, who would want to waste their time attending a pointless banquet when they could spend some quality time with their loved ones?
