Elena looked at me in confusion, and finally said, "During the two days that Owen was in the hospital, Poe also got sick at home. I'll take Poe to the pet hospital with Owen for a checkup. If you have anything to say, you can tell me when I come back tonight!"
Poe was a dog. It was a pet dog that Elena gave to Owen on his 25th birthday.
Elena cared more about that dog than she did about me!
It didn't matter because I was used to it.
Today, I was completely heartbroken.
All sources of hurt, pain, and hatred in life all came from expectations.
I wouldn't hold on to any expectations of others, especially those I love.
Because all expectations were ultimately just my wishful thinking!
After seven years, it seemed that I just realized something at this moment!
In other words, I had been deceiving myself all these years, until today, when I completely wiped out the little hope left in my heart!
I found that I no longer loved Elena!
The light that once illuminated the deepest part of my heart was gone!
Elena and Owen left. Before leaving, Owen turned around and gave me a provocative and complacent smile.
He looked as if he was saying that he won again.
At this moment, I didn't feel the slightest bit of anger or unwillingness in my heart. Even I was surprised at how calm I was.
After they left, I pulled a ring out of my pocket.
Today was my 25th birthday and also the seventh anniversary of Elena's and my love. I was originally planning to propose to her.
Now, there was no need!
I put the ring on the coffee table and left.
When I arrived at the company, I handed in my resignation letter.
My boss was very surprised and asked me the reason because before this, he had promised me that he would give me a promotion and a raise in salary at the end of this month.
I smiled and said, "I used to want to live for her, but now I want to try what it feels like to live for myself!"
Someone said that it only took a moment for an adult to collapse.
When faced with a breakup and unemployment, many people wouldn't be able to bear it and become depressed.
But the moment I resigned and walked out of the company, I felt relaxed, as if an invisible burden had been lifted from me.
Night fell.
I was eating and drinking beer at a food stall and reminiscing seven years with Elena.
She was once my only one, and I wanted to give her the best!
