The moment I finished packing my luggage, Charles hurried in with a gift. He didn't notice the suitcase at the door.
He habitually held me in his arms, rubbing his ears and temples together and said in a sweet voice, "Honey, guess what gift I brought you back?"
Before I could say anything, he had already kissed my earlobe. I avoided his movements calmly and my eyes fell on the packaging box in his hand. A famous brand perfume which was Sally's favorite scent. But I never use perfume because I'm allergic to alcohol. He never remembered.
"How about you spray this on your wedding day? I want to smell you."
He was looking for traces of Sally in me again. First it was clothing, jewelry, then it was cosmetics and handbags. At that time, I just felt that what he gave me looked familiar.
But when I accidentally clicked on Sally's circle of friends, I discovered that she also had a copy of these things. It was also a gift from Charles.
Sensing my low mood, his voice softened a bit. "Are you still angry about the postponement of the wedding? Don't worry, I have already taught them a lesson and I will definitely not postpone it again this time."
"About your mom, I'll explain it to her later, don't worry."
A sneer appeared on my lips, "No need to trouble you, just cancel the wedding. There is no need for you to see my mother and she won't want to hear your explanation."
He didn't expect me to be so decisive. His movements froze for a moment and a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"Jessica, I have been preparing for the wedding for three months and the invitations have been sent out. How can you make such a joke?"
"It was an accident when the props went wrong. I have tried my best to make up for it. I can understand if you are angry, but please don't make trouble unreasonably. My patience has its limits."
Seeing him lie without a red face and his heart not beating, I suddenly felt tired.
"Charles, is it really because of the props that something went wrong?"
He was stunned for a moment and just as he was about to defend himself, his cell phone rang.
When he lowered his head, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He didn't have time to say goodbye to me, he just said he would try his best to make it up to me and left the house in a hurry.
It didn't take much thinking to know that only Sally could make him so panicked by just one piece of news.
