Transfer 52,000: [Fiona, you don’t need to persuade me. Since I can’t protect you as a lover, let me protect you as a best friend and boyfriend! I can’t accept that I have nothing to do with you for the rest of my life. At least, after being with Yolanda, I can still have a chance to meet you. Also: I wish you a happy wedding and a long-lasting marriage.]
I was trembling all over.
The dense row of words turned into a group of black fog and I gradually couldn’t see clearly.
Yes, Fiona had a husband, a family marriage and there was no affection between them.
All the truth was in front of me and I had thoroughly sorted out the context.
It turned out that my so-called happiness was just a joke from beginning to end!
“Yolanda?”
The familiar voice brought me back to my thoughts.
Marvin came back and looked down at me, his expression gloomy under the light.
He asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing with my phone?”
I showed a calmness and composure I had never had before.
I quickly exited the Apple Pay interface, locked the screen, put the phone back on the table and said calmly, “My phone is out of battery. I’m borrowing yours to make a call.”
Marvin was half-believing and half-doubting.
I smiled and changed the subject. “Where have you been? So long?”
Marvin’s thoughts were scattered by me and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
He was busy making up stories. “I had a work call, so I went out to answer it.”
After he finished speaking, Fiona stood up suddenly. “Yolanda, my family is urging me, so I’ll leave first.”
She hugged me, with a faint scent of jasmine. “Happy wedding! Love you.”
I patted her back and asked, “Is he coming to pick you up?”
“No, I will take a taxi.” Fiona smiled bitterly. “You know, we are just getting married and there is no affection between us... How can he care so much about me?”
I noticed that Marvin’s eyes flashed with heartache.
He even took a step forward and took the initiative to say, “How about I…”
“How about you take Fiona home.” I interrupted Marvin’s words meaningfully.
Fiona’s expression was obviously frozen for a moment, but soon, she smiled softly, pinched my cheek and teased, “How can I accept that? Today is your couple’s single night!”
“Just take it.” I stood up, pinched Fiona’s hand and pushed her toward Marvin.
He took Fiona into his arms almost without hesitation. Although the two separated quickly, but the familiar body movements were difficult to conceal at all. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself, it turned out that they were so obvious! But I was so stupid that I didn’t notice it for three years and I was complacent that I got such a good man.
Fiona was a little awkward. “No need…”
I just smiled. “Okay, what’s wrong with a bestie’s man? Just use him.”
Fiona agreed awkwardly. I went home by myself. I turned on my phone and opened the dashcam software. Fiona and Marvin’s faces jumped into my eyes, so close that I could touch them with my hand. Even Marvin didn’t know, so I changed to the latest smart driving recorder, which could check the vehicle body condition on the mobile phone at any time.
It was no different from surveillance.
Fiona sat in the co-pilot, lowering her head slightly.
Along the way, the two were completely speechless.
Like complete strangers.
Until arriving at the destination, Fiona hurriedly thanked and went to open the car door.
