In the video, Victoria proudly showed off the "boyfriend’s efforts" with limited-edition handbags, money transfers, pictures of her global travels and close-ups of Damien cooking, washing dishes and massaging her feet.
The comments were full of admiration.
[What a perfect boyfriend!]
[What a rich and devoted boyfriend! I’m so jealous!]
Victoria didn’t clarify their true relationship, allowing netizens to believe whatever they wanted.
Finally, Damien called back.
His voice was casual as he answered her call.
"I was busy and didn’t see the calls. What’s up?"
Sure enough, Damien had completely forgotten that he was supposed to pick her up. In the background, Victoria’s laughter was clear as day. Yet, Damien still lied calmly.
"I’m talking about business. If it’s not urgent, why don’t we talk at home later?"
Amelia’s voice was gentle as she said, "It’s okay. I just wanted to confirm where you were."
After hanging up, she opened the calendar on her phone.
Victoria’s divorce cooling-off period had one week left. The divorce agreement would take effect in fifteen days. Soon. There was no need for Amelia to feel sad anymore.
When Amelia opened the door, she almost thought she had walked into the wrong place. The house, which once held the memories of her five-year marriage, had completely changed. It broke her heart.
She had already packed most of her personal belongings before she left last time, but now it was clear that Victoria had taken advantage of her absence to remove even more of her things.
Amelia walked slowly toward the master bedroom bathroom.
On Damien’s washstand, there was a pair of red and blue toothbrushes. She looked around and saw that the entire house was filled with matching items in pairs. Couple cups, couple slippers and couple pillows were there.
Anyone who didn’t know the truth would think this was the home of a couple deeply in love.
Amelia then remembered that when she first got married, she had excitedly bought a set of couple mugs.
At the time, Damien had only glanced at them coldly and said, "What's the point of these childish things?"
After that, she never brought up the idea again.
Amelia took a deep breath, ignored everything and went to her room to pack the last of her personal belongings. She had already gotten used to being treated differently by Damien. After so many disappointments, she no longer felt anything.
