After My Ex-boyfriend Asked To Get Back Together1

Matthew Jeffrey's birthday was in the cold winter of December.

To please him, I requested to use my uncle's hot spring villa to throw him a birthday party.

All the elites in Capitol attended, enjoying the sight of blooming flowers and warm spring in the cold winter.

I gave Matthew the gift I had carefully prepared, hoping that he'd like it.

But he flipped through the book in the box and threw it into the stream nearby.

He washed his hands under the running water with disgust.

"Lily Simmons, you disgust me! I've no interest in receiving gifts from you!"

As the book gradually got soaked in water, my heart felt tightly squeezed.

I lowered my head sadly.

A wise man nearby exclaimed, "That is Master Hall's handwritten copy. There are only three left in the world. How could you treat such a valuable object like that?"

Everyone looked at me, waiting for my reaction.

Among the young generation in Capitol, because of my noble status, they always followed my lead.

My mother was the Princess Royal, my father the eldest son of the noble Simmons family, and my uncle the unsurpassable Emperor.

I had reason to be proud.

But at this moment, I humbly stepped forward to apologize.

"Matthew, please don't be mad. If you don't like it, I'll find you something else."

"I chose it because you liked the copy Ruby gave you, and I thought you would prefer the original..."

Before I could finish my words, Matthew threw the cup in his hand to the ground, annoyed.

"Shut up! How can you compare to Ruby? She is gentle and kind, unyielding despite being born at the bottom of society. You are such an arrogant and domineering idiot, you are not even fit to carry her shoes! Even the sight of you makes me sick!"

My nails dug deep into my palms, blood dripped out, but I didn't feel any pain at all.

Ruby James was a distant relative of my aunt. Because her parents both passed away, she came to live with us.

The rare book was a treasure in our family library. I saw Ruby copying it every day, then made a book out of the pages and gave it to Matthew.

At that time, he looked like he had found a treasure, his face all lit up.

I thought he must really like this rare book.

To get my family's approval, I copied a hundred volumes of scriptures as an offer to our ancestors.

But he discarded it like a worn-out shoe.
