“From my perspective, the process of falling in love between Jared and Macy had always been a meticulously-designed scheme. Initially, I thought that you were a product of their drunken stupor that one night. After all, an accident was inevitable when two adults satisfied their needs. I was fully supportive of Macy of her decision to give birth to you since she wanted to have a child of her own.”
Then, I said, “I got her belonging from the lawyer after she was dead, and through her WhatsApp chat history, I found that Jared had already taken the initiative to acquaint himself with her back when I first knew Ashton. Yet, they had never mentioned it throughout the years. Do you know that the reason Jared stayed by Ashton’s and my side previously was to take revenge on us? Thus, it was apparent why he approached Macy. His principle was that he would do whatever it took to achieve his goal. It wasn’t righteous but wasn’t enough to be disdainful as well.”
After taking a deep breath, I said, “The most despicable thing was his trampling on Macy. Just like me, she was an orphan. What orphans craved the most was the sense of security. Jared’s appearance was like a ray of light in Macy’s life. He appeared when her classmates gave her a hard time, supported her every decision, and contributed half to her dream and the money to open the bar. He was such a fine man, yet he treated Macy, who was merely an ordinary woman, with immeasurable gentleness. Moreover, he was never absent in every crucial stage of her life. Despite not having a proper status, she was willing to dwell on the continuous companionship.”
Slowly, I continued, “For Macy, they would still be as close as before when he stood in front of her after not meeting for a long time. However, he didn’t want their firstborn. Macy listened to his words, aborted the baby, and crushed her hopes. From that day onward, she knew there was no future between them. Unfortunately, Jared took that incident as proof of her unwavering love for him that she could even give up on her child for him. He was sure that Macy would do everything for him. Finally, he exposed himself, his purpose, and the impurity of their relationship in front of her. When she asked him to give up on his revenge, he refused, and they ended up splitting their ways.”
Rage surged through me as I went on, “If it ended here and he let Macy off, I would still be willing to regard him as a man. Nevertheless, since then, he started to torture her. He was always a scum in front of her. Again and again, he slept with her while calling out to another woman. Since he couldn’t be happy, he wanted her to drown in sadness with him by destroying Macy’s happiness as well. As for you, do you remember the time when you had a major illness? You nearly lost your life that time, and it was all because of him. He had kidnapped you and trapped you in the chemical plant, inflicting physical and mental torment on you. Moreover, he even destroyed hundreds of innocent families for his opinionated truth.”
At that, I let out a deep breath and licked my dried lips. Then, I looked up at Summer with a bitter smile plastered on my face. “Now, do you still want to get close to him? Do you still want to keep him close to your side?”
Summer pressed her lips together and looked up for a long time as she immersed herself in her thought.
