“Justin has not stopped. He is still gambling. Deceitful people like him have no limits. It will ruin your whole life if you stay with him. I hope you will reconsider your decision carefully.”
Nicole closed her eyes. Her shoulders shook as she started crying.
It was worse than a nightmare.
“You are a good girl. You shouldn’t be undermined by Justin. You can look for abetter man to love. As a woman, I’d advise you to call off the engagement.”
Josie patted Nicole’s shoulder. Nicole could no longer hold herself back. She buried her head into Josie’s arms and cried, “I’ve never thought he would be like that. I thought… I thought… He was sincere toward me!”
“He just wants to trick you into paying his debts with him and suffer!”
Josie patted her head and said, “Nowadays, any relationship without financial support will fail easily.”
Nicole said nothing and continued wailing.
After about half an hour, Nicole finally calmed down. She promised Josie that she would reconsider her relationship with Justin.
When they exited the café, it was already past ten. Josie did not have dinner, but she was no longer hungry.
The buses had stopped, so Josie had no choice but to get a cab back to Mason Garden. She could not help but curse Justin under her breath. How are you going to repay me?
It was a long journey. Just as Josie started feeling sleepy on the way, her phone started vibrating. Her phone showed: That man.
“Hello…” Her voice was still drowsy as she answered the phone.
“Where are you?” After a moment of silence, the man’s voice was heard. He sounded a little angry.
When Josie heard his voice, she immediately regained consciousness.
