I stared at the man who came up to the stage. Stella's hand was held tightly by him. She did not break free but had a little girl attitude that I had never seen before.
This scene turned into a sharp knife stabbing into my heart, the pain made me unable to breathe.
I had seen the photo of this man, secretly hidden in Stella's wallet. I knew that he was her first love. He left her ruthlessly that year and I helped her walk out of that shadow.
Stella ignored my gaze and spoke again, "Actually, today is not Oliver's birthday party, but my engagement party with Hans Keller. Thank you all for coming again."
"Who is Hans Keller?"
"I don't know, but he looks so special."
"You don't even know Hans, don't you know about the recent spiritual revival?"
"Spiritual revival? What nonsense?"
"Nonsense, you are too ignorant. Look at the national news recently. There are many mysterious events reported. The world is going to be different."
"What does it have to do with Hans?"
"It has a lot to do with it. He is the beneficiary of the spiritual revival. He performed flying on water in the live broadcast and walked on the river without any props. No wonder Stella divorced Oliver."
Someone in the audience revealed the real reason for Stella's betrayal. The person who hurt her once had the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth and she turned to him again.
How could I, who only helped to make suggestions in business, be cherished?
What was supposed to be my birthday party turned out to be Stella and Hans's engagement party. Stella's words were like a bolt from the blue.
Three years of hard work went down the drain.
"Stella, it was grandpa who asked us to be together. I am willing to give you another chance. Are you sure you don't want to be with me?" I tried to persuade her.
My wife's sister sneered coldly, "Do you still have any shame? You are so willing to wear the green hat on your head?"
I just stared at Stella, "I hope you make the right choice."
"What else?" Hans said, "What if she chooses me?"
I just stared at Stella, "Have you forgotten grandpa's last words?"
Stella looked back at me with anger in her eyes, "Don't use grandpa to pressure me. If it weren't for grandpa asking me to be with you, do you think I would be with a waste like you?"
