Chapter 308 The First Love Dilemma
Kelly had set a curfew for Zev. Be home by 8 p.m.
Zev dared not push it, so he got home by 7:50 p.m.
He thought he’d been a good boy and hoped Kelly would praise him.
But, as soon as he entered the living room, the atmosphere was agitated.
Kelly, Connor, and Faye, an adult and two kids, sat on the carpet, watching a movie.
And they were crying while watching it.

“Honey.” Zev carefully approached and sat down next to Kelly. “What movie are you guys watching?”
Connor glanced at Zev with a look of pity. “First Love.”
“Whose first love?” Zev asked without thinking.
“Yours,” Faye said, looking at him with the same pity.
Zev took a sharp breath because he saw Thea on the big TV screen.
“Honey,” Zev called out tentatively.
“Scumbag.” Kelly wiped her tears, pointing at Thea’s character, who was standing on the rooftop in the movie. “This young girl died in her youth.”
In the movie, Thea played the female lead, Stella Lewis, who eventually jumped into a river and committed suicide.
It was said that the film was based on Thea’s real–life experience since she had once tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river during winter, which led to her uterus being damaged and her body seriously injured. She could never have children again.
“What’s this movie about?” Zev asked nervously.
“It’s about a male and female lead who grew up as childhood sweethearts. They were inseparable and played house as kids, already planning to marry. The male lead promised to marry the female lead when they grew up. Still, he ended up abandoning her and joining the military. The female lead, still his girlfriend, searched for him many times. Still, he never explained their relationship, leaving it ambiguous,” Kelly narrowed her
eyes.
“Then, one day, the male lead went missing. The female lead fell into depression and searched for him, thinking he had abandoned her. She jumped into the river to commit suicide but was saved. Many years later, they met again. The male lead was married to a new family! The female lead discovered he had gone undercover and fallen in love with a bad woman during his mission!” Kelly ground her teeth.
This movie had become a huge hit when it was released last year.
At that time, Kelly and the kids were still in Stoneville, and Zev had been missing.
They had turned her story into a movie without caring about anyone else’s life.
Kelly watched from the sidelines, feeling like she had become the “villain” in a movie.

“Who wrote this movie? It’s really awful.” Zev said nervously, bringing up Connor. “You two should stop watching. Are you going home? If not, go to bed.”
Faye sighed, looking at Zev like an adult. “I heard this is about your first love.”
“Whose first love? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Zev looked at Kelly, his nerves on edge. “Movies are full of lies. Honey, you know you can trust me, right?”
“Who did you have dinner with tonight?” Kelly asked, her gaze piercing.
“Thea.” Zev pointed at the TV screen. “But it was Grandpa who tricked me into going. I wouldn’t have gone if I’d known she’d been there.”
“Is everything in the movie true?” Kelly squinted her eyes.
“Then you’re the bad woman?” Zev asked in return.
Kelly raised her hand and twisted his arm hard. “I’m afraid I’ll end up being the woman who tears other people’s relationships apart!”
“Thea and I grew up together, that’s true. We met in kindergarten. She liked me, but I didn’t like her. We played house as kids, and she insisted I be the head of the family. What did I understand back then? As we got older, I kept my distance from her, but people around me kept making trouble. I was clear about my attitude, but Thea had depression. Her parents approached me, asking me not to be too distant from her.” Zev raised his hand, swearing. “After I got into military school, I hardly saw her. She tried to meet me many times, and I turned her down. She was the one who caused a scene. Our squad leader was worried she’d cause trouble at the school gate, so he asked me to meet her a few times. Because of all this, many people thought she was my girlfriend, and I ended up being seen as a scumbag.”
Zev really was innocent. Thea’s personality was just too extreme.
“I’ve been trying to avoid her. She’s too extreme. If I can’t handle her, I can at least avoid her. I did. But Grandpa tricked me, saying he was meeting with some business partners, so I went …” But to his surprise, Thea was there.
“I’m really sorry, Honey. I didn’t mean to hide this from you. It’s just that Thea is the type of person I need to avoid. She’s always looking for trouble!” Zev was genuinely scared.
He wasn’t afraid of people like Clarissa, who were malicious foxes. He wasn’t scared of people who played dirty tricks, but Thea was different. She’d cry, talk about being depressed, and threaten suicide at the drop of a hat.
