Furthermore, many classmates from the university would attend Julia's wedding. It was inevitable that some of them knew Flynn. What if they caused trouble for Queenie?
Later, Julia told Henry, and he said that Queenie shouldn't keep avoiding things. She had to be strong and courageous to face the future and face herself properly. Julia thought it made sense and decided to break the news.
"Yes, I think so too. The three of us lived together for four years. We can't miss each other's wedding. Besides, the news would eventually spread. Once Queenie found out that you didn't invite her, she'd be upset. Although your intentions were good, it'd hurt our friendship."
I wanted to say more, but Julia cut me off abruptly, saying, "Lulu, my husband's back. Talk to you later. Bye."
Looking at the darkened screen, I felt a pang of annoyance. I sent a message to scold her for being heartless.
After waiting for a while and not getting a response, I went to sleep, feeling lonely.
In the middle of the night, as I slept soundly, a warm body pressed up against me from behind. I groggily found my wrists being held by someone. When I woke up in the morning, there was still a faint musky scent lingering in the room, but the space beside me had long been empty.
Rubbing my sore hand, I stared at my hand blankly for a long time. I had to strengthen my body and improve my resistance to stress.
When I went out of the bedroom, I found a large bag of snacks on the dining table, with yogurt among them. There was a note underneath the bag that wrote, "It was so comfortable last night. Thank you, darling.
"Your boyfriend has to leave early. Remember to eat well. Call or text me if you need anything. I'll reply promptly when I see it."
