“Crystal!” Lyle seemed overwhelmed as he held on to Crystal’s hand. “I didn’t know you’re still in love with me. I’m sorry for everything. It’s all my fault.”
“Lyle, it’s not your fault I fell for you, but love is forever. We’ve known each other for ten years, became a couple for two years, and broke up for two years. I tried to forget you, but I couldn’t do it. I’m sorry, Lyle. I should have restrained myself from expressing my love.”
The two of them hugged and looked at each other affectionately. I, on the other hand, was getting accused and forced to apologize. Lyle had also long since forgotten what he said about living a good life with me.
I would have relented in the past. However, I was surprisingly calm instead of succumbing to pressure. I sneered as if I just watched a good show and clapped.
“This is so touching. But why am I not aware that I broke you two up? You want me to admit I’m a homewrecker? Dream on!”
“Miss, why do you insist on making things difficult for Crystal when she’s such a nice girl?” A stranger spoke up, displeased. I shot him a look and suddenly recalled that I had met him at Crystal’s party last time.
No wonder he looked so familiar. He appeared as Crystal’s senior whenever she was interviewed for her paintings that were published in the news. He was also the one who had pushed me into the water when I was a kid. He was Benjamin’s brother, Benson who had been out of the picture for quite some time.
“Eve!” Lyle walked over and pulled me into his arms, ignoring the fact that I was struggling to get away from him. I almost vomited when I caught a whiff of Crystal’s perfume on him. “Crystal is leaving soon. Why can’t you agree to such a simple request? We can live a good life after this, okay?”
