I continued to scroll up without blinking and the more I read, the colder I felt.
Finally, when I saw Marvin’s first transfer message, cold sweat fell directly on my forehead on the phone screen.
Transfer 52,000: [Fiona, you don’t need to persuade me. Since I can’t protect you as a lover, let me protect you as a best friend and boyfriend! I can’t accept that I have nothing to do with you for the rest of my life. At least, after being with Yolanda, I can still have a chance to meet you. Also: I wish you a happy wedding and a long-lasting marriage.]
I was trembling all over.
The dense row of words turned into a group of black fog and I gradually couldn’t see clearly.
Yes, Fiona had a husband, a family marriage and there was no affection between them.
All the truth was in front of me and I had thoroughly sorted out the context.
It turned out that my so-called happiness was just a joke from beginning to end!
“Yolanda?”
The familiar voice brought me back to my thoughts.
Marvin came back and looked down at me, his expression gloomy under the light.
He asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing with my phone?”
I showed a calmness and composure I had never had before.
I quickly exited the Apple Pay interface, locked the screen, put the phone back on the table and said calmly, “My phone is out of battery. I’m borrowing yours to make a call.”
Marvin was half-believing and half-doubting.
I smiled and changed the subject. “Where have you been? So long?”
Marvin’s thoughts were scattered by me and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
He was busy making up stories. “I had a work call, so I went out to answer it.”
After he finished speaking, Fiona stood up suddenly. “Yolanda, my family is urging me, so I’ll leave first.”
She hugged me, with a faint scent of jasmine. “Happy wedding! Love you.”
I patted her back and asked, “Is he coming to pick you up?”
“No, I will take a taxi.” Fiona smiled bitterly. “You know, we are just getting married and there is no affection between us... How can he care so much about me?”
I noticed that Marvin’s eyes flashed with heartache.
He even took a step forward and took the initiative to say, “How about I…”
“How about you take Fiona home.” I interrupted Marvin’s words meaningfully.
Fiona’s expression was obviously frozen for a moment, but soon, she smiled softly, pinched my cheek and teased, “How can I accept that? Today is your couple’s single night!”
