Chapter 1 of Battling for Love and Winning

Because of a phone call, Andrew left my mother on the highway. She was hit by a speeding car and died on the spot.

I called him in despair, but he hung up the phone again and again.

The next day, his friend posted a photo of his profile. [As long as I call you, you will fly to my side the first time. Happiness is that simple.]

Everyone was waiting for a response from me, Andrew's girlfriend.

I wiped my tears and replied: [Congratulations. The scumbag and the slut are a perfect match!]

——

"Andrew, let's break up!"

I didn't expect that I would be the first to say this.

I had a crush on Andrew for a year and pursued him for three years. We were finally together. I should praise and accommodate him. Why I possibly break up with him?

Even if he left me again and again for Katie, I would not make a fuss.

Because I liked him, he could do whatever he wanted to me, but not my mother.

She was my only relative and my bottom line.

I handled my mother's funeral arrangements silently by myself.

I went back home, packed my luggage and was about to leave when I ran into Andrew Wallace and Katie Foster who had just returned.

Katie leaned in his arms with a rosy face. When they saw me, Andrew had no intention of letting her go.

Even when he caught a glimpse of the luggage in my hands, he just frowned in displeasure. "Monica, what are you doing?"

He always thought I was making a fuss.

Whenever it came to Katie's affairs, if I showed any dissatisfaction or talked back to him, he would scold me, as if I had committed a huge mistake.

He told me that I was heartless and that he only treated Katie as a friend and asked me not to act unreasonably.

Katie saw that I didn't look very happy and couldn't help but smile. "Monica, don't get me wrong. I caught a cold a few days ago. Andrew was worried about me and took care of me for a few days. You must not quarrel because of me."

So just because she had a cold, Andrew left my mother, Sarah, on the highway and ran to take care of Katie without even looking back.

I knew that Katie was more important to him than me.

But Sarah was dead.

Every time I thought about Sarah's disfigured face when I picked up her body at the hospital, it hurt.

I suddenly felt so tired. I didn't have the energy to argue with them anymore. I just wanted to leave this suffocating place as soon as possible.

"No misunderstanding!

"Andrew, let's break up!"

I didn't expect that my relationship would involve Sarah.

Andrew's eyes flashed with annoyance. "Monica, can you be more sensible? You know that Katie is in poor health. I am her friend. Isn't it my duty to take care of her?"

I didn't know what else I need to do to be considered sensible.

Because Andrew said that Katie was his important friend and she suffered from a rare disease, so she occupied all his thoughts.

Katie was right about one thing. As long as she called, Andrew would fly to her side as soon as possible no matter where he was.

He set Katie as his special focus and always replied to her messages as soon as possible.

He would reply to my messages if he wanted to, and would just leave me alone if he didn't want to. Sometimes, after I sent him too many messages, he got tired of it and put me on the blacklist.

As for when to talk to me, it depended on his mood.

He often used cold violence on me.

He remembered Katie's birthday and even her menstrual period clearly.

Once Katie was playing with her friends in the countryside when she suddenly had her period. There were no shops nearby and it was a rainstorm day.

Andrew was unable to spare the time, so he asked me to deliver the things Katie needed for her period.

The car suddenly stalled halfway through the journey. I had to walk for a few miles, getting soaked.

Katie took the things and sent me away.

I could only stay in the car all night.

What Andrew didn't know was that that day was also my menstrual period.

I turned pale with pain and finally fainted in the car. I was not found until the next day by a passerby and taken to the hospital.

I was sick for a week that time.

After Andrew found out, he just said a few words of concern.

Every time Katie fainted due to an attack, he would be anxious as if the world was coming to an end, and would even personally stay with her in the hospital.

He thought Katie was precious and fragile, and needed his care.

And I was like the grass on the roadside. He would pay attention to me when he was happy, and ignore me when he was unhappy.

Therefore, the person who fell in love first always lost the most in a relationship!

Facing his reproach again, I just laughed at myself. "You are not wrong. I am wrong! I shouldn't ask for something that doesn't belong to me. Andrew, you are free!"

I was so tired!

These five years had taken everything out of me.
