After hanging up the phone, she shook me awake.
“Honey, there’s something urgent going on at the company. I have to go back quickly. You get off the car and take a taxi.”
Before I could react, she got off the car, walked around to the passenger seat, unbuckled my seat belt and helped me out.
It was more like forcing me out than helping.
Watching her get into the car resolutely, the bright red taillights completely disappeared into the night and my whole body was cold.
I made a call abroad. “Mom, Dad’s will mentioned the marriage with the daughter of the Turner family. I agreed. Please cancel my domestic identity for me. I’ll go there in three days.”
I walked more than ten kilometers with a high fever and finally fainted on the ground because of exhaustion.
When I woke up, I found that I was sent to the hospital. It was already the next day.
I was thirsty and wanted to drink water. There was no one by the bed. The nurse happened to pass by and poured me a cup of hot water.
“What’s wrong with you? You ran around with a high fever. Fortunately, a passing driver found you and sent you to the hospital. The person marked as your wife on your phone kept hanging up and then simply turned off her phone. Isn’t your wife worried about you?”
I responded to her with a bitter smile, picked up my phone and took a look and happened to see a red dot in the WhatsApp status.
I clicked it and saw that Arnold had updated his status last night.
The caption was: [Live up to the encounter. No regrets in this life.]
The live pictures in the nine-square grid were all Wilona’s smiles and frowns.
She seemed to be scolding, but her eyes were full of pampering.
The shining ring on her ring finger stung my eyes.
The comment area was even more lively.
[Arnold, aren’t you afraid that your wife will know and divorce you?”
[What nonsense are you talking about? Wilona and Arnold are true lovers.”
Arnold replied: [I have blocked her. Everyone, remember to keep my secret.]
He blocked his current wife, my ex-fiancée, Ellen, but only let me see it.
Just when I was about to quit the social software, I found that Arnold sent me a link.
I accidentally clicked in and found that it was filled with declarations of love, where the two of them expressed their feelings to each other and even said some explicit flirting.
Thousands of pictures, all of which were photos of the two of them and the photos could even be traced back to ten years ago.
They hugged and kissed and I could feel the true love between them through the screen.
I flipped through my mobile phone album and the photos of Wilona and I in the past five years could be counted on one hand.
I wanted to take a photo with her more than a hundred times, but every time the two of us appeared in the camera, she angrily slapped it away, saying that she didn’t like taking photos.
It turned out that she didn’t dislike taking photos, but that small space couldn’t accommodate three people.
I was just the poor guy who was excluded from her world.
I saved all these photos and also took screenshots of the ones Arnold posted on WhatsApp status.
Before leaving the hospital, I took a blood test to check the hormone concentration in my blood.
When I got home from the hospital, I found that Wilona had not returned. I checked the surveillance and found that she had not returned all night.
I looked at the crystal wedding photo hanging on the wall. I didn’t know when the crystal on the surface cracked, just across me and Wilona.
I took down the wedding photo and my phone rang.
“Boss, don’t forget, today is our company’s new product launch. You can’t be here without us. After all, you are the architect of the entire system.”
