I had a clear understanding in my heart. "It seems that Linda doesn't take him seriously either. I guess they'll break up in another two months. Linda will tell him that I don't agree to divorce her."
"Troy. Do more of Linda's work and make her more determined to divorce me."
Saying no more words, I drove away.
"Linda is so impressive. I used to be an indifferent person. Many friends said I was boring."
"When she pursued me aggressively, she said she liked me being serious. In her opinion, others were too childish."
"At that time, she probably wanted to make a change and targeted me, but I took it seriously."
My friends gathered to hold a welcome party for my childhood friend, Lamar Cash.
Linda had to attend the party with me. After all, I wanted to maintain some dignity in front of my childhood friend.
I specifically told her not to bring Troy with her, saying she could do whatever she wanted, make a scene, or have fun at other times.
I arrived at the party early. Lamar had changed a lot during his years abroad.
We briefly exchanged a few words.
One of our friends suggested, saying, "Lamar and Brian are becoming more and more alike."
My hand holding the cup suddenly paused. I looked up at the speaker.
The corner of my mouth twitched. I forced a smile, saying, "Do you think I look like Lamar?"
"Yes, you do look alike. You two looked alike in college," he said.
I stared at Lamar, who was smiling.
"Yes, we do look alike. We are fucking alike."
I stared straight at him, furrowing my brows. I clenched my fists, making them turn white.
"Troy looks like him. He is like a young Lamar."
The door to the private box was pushed open.
Linda walked hand in hand with Troy without any hesitation.
Everyone looked at me, intentionally or unintentionally.
I felt uncomfortable and painful all over my body.
I had an urge to cry. Intense and suppressed emotions filled all over my heart.
"It hurts me even more to find out that Linda has someone else for the first time."
"Have I been deceived all these years?"
