Chapter 4

Fiona acted like a child only to Alan.

Staring at me with disdain, she said, "You are so strict with him, you are the same as his mother."

She pushed the things I gave her and me out of the door.

Her hysterical cries were clearly heard through the door.

She was crying and acting coquettishly to Alan.

Later, Philip told me that Fiona was Alan's Achilles' heel.

When she was a child, she didn't want to go abroad with her relatives, so Alan took her away from home.

Three days later, she was taken away by her relatives while crying.

I asked Alan later, and he smiled with a guilty conscience.

"I was just trying to appease her, how could I really not go home?"

He didn't tell the truth, but I didn't expose him.

Alan had a rich family and didn't even need to work hard.

His parents planned his future for him, all he had to do was follow the arrangements.

Philip disliked the way Alan handled it.

"He was afraid that his mother would scold him, so he told her about his whereabouts for those three days. Only Fiona thought that they were running away from home."

Alan was never a brave man.

I loved him because he followed the rules and controlled himself well.

When he pursued me, he was considerate.

He proposed. We got engaged and got married step by step.

Without Fiona, perhaps he would always be like this.

But Fiona had changed him.

On my first birthday after we got married, he was on a business trip.

I waited for a long time, but he didn't wish me a happy birthday. In the evening, I finally asked him aggrievedly, "Did you forget?"

He anxiously apologized to me repeatedly on the phone and said he really had forgotten.

But he was absent on my second, third, and fourth birthdays after we got married. Who would choose this day specifically to go on a business trip?

I found Fiona's Facebook account soon following Alan's Facebook account.

I checked every one of her updates, and my heart was torn into pieces.

They went to the amusement park and the revolving restaurant and watched the shoreside fireworks.

The wishes I made and the travel guides I looked up helped Alan to give Fiona birthday surprises one after another.

How shameless!
