On the day of my father's funeral, Kenny made a promise in front of my father's grave.
He said, "Rest assured, I will take care of Alyson for the rest of her life and not let her suffer any grievances."
My mother missed my father too much. After seeing that my future was secured, she took her own life by overdosing right after the funeral.
Because of Kenny, I lost my parents, lost my home, and became an orphan with no one but my grandmother.
Over the years, Kenny and his family did indeed take good care of me.
Kenny was attentive and caring. Under their care, I gradually emerged from my grief. I thought I would build a warm home with him.
But after our engagement, the girl Kenny once liked, Serena, returned.
Since then, he always went to her place.
"Serena has a headache, so I need to check on her."
"Serena's toilet is clogged, so I have to help her fix it."
Even on our dates, he would often bring her along.
"Serena is too lonely by herself. Bringing her along makes it more lively."
At first, when I cried out of grievance, he would patiently comfort me, assuring me there was nothing between them.
But as time passed, he grew tired of comforting me.
"Fine, you can believe whatever you want!
"Alyson, don't be too greedy. Your father's death can get you a place by my side. You should be grateful and cherish this opportunity. Don't keep picking fights, and don't expect to control me!"
Hearing his words, I suddenly realized that his tolerance and care for me were only out of guilt and gratitude, not love.
I was not someone who would cling to a relationship, but then my grandmother was suddenly diagnosed with cancer.
She wanted to see Kenny and me walk down the aisle. She said that only then could she leave in peace.
I begged Kenny, "My grandmother doesn't have much time left. Her last wish is to see us married."
Kenny agreed, but on the day of the wedding, he disappeared and married Serena instead.
During his disappearance, I called him from someone else's phone.
"Kenny, my grandmother is dying. Can you come back for a moment?
"Kenny, I beg you, my grandmother is really about to pass away. She just wants to see us one last time."
However, Kenny remained indifferent, coldly saying, "If she's going to die, let her die quickly. Stop using your grandmother to threaten me!"
