For half of the ten–hour flight, with my eyes closed, all I could see was our eight years together, and loving him seemed to have
become a habit.
This sudden breakup was as hard to give up as a blood relative.
When I set foot on foreign soil, I had an illusion as if I had been reborn. I somehow felt as if everything could start over.
As soon as I turned on my phone, the first call I received was from the frantic wedding company.
The person said anxiously, “Miss Parrish, are you going to continue your wedding or not? The few guests have all left!
“We have never encountered such a situation before. The bride is not here, and the groom is also nowhere to be found!
“We called Mr. Kaufman to inform him of the situation. As soon as he heard that you were not present, he hung up in anger. We
spent a long time trying to contact you!”
My hand holding the phone froze in the air.
While hailing a taxi, I said indifferently, “Then just cancel it. I’ve already settled the final payment, and your work is done. Thank
you for your hard work.”
On the way, the sourness in my heart kept surging.
The last trace of expectation that Antonio would be anxiously frantic
when he saw my disappearance was completely shattered. “Forget it, he couldn’t even keep his promise of showing up at our
wedding on time. Thus, how could I expect him to have any reaction after knowing that I ran away?” I said to myself.
I arrived at the apartment building according to the address given by my supervisor. And, just as I was about to go up with my
luggage, Antonio’s friend called again.
Now that we had already broken up, there was no need to contact him or his friends anymore. Therefore, I thought it would be
better to make myself clear.
I hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.
Then I heard Antonio’s extremely angry scolding from the other end of the phone, “Grace, what’s wrong with you? How dare you
block my number? Where are you? Speak!
“Didn’t I explain everything to you? Mandy had a car accident, and I can’t leave her alone. Can you stop making such a fuss?
“You did not show up at our wedding today, did you? Where are you now? Send me the address!”
My eyebrows twisted, and I said coldly, “Didn’t you see the message I sent you? We have broken up, and where I go has nothing
to do with you!
I’ll also block your friend’s number. Don’t contact me an
I did not expect him to be so shameless as to call and blame me after he had stood me up on our wedding day.
Before he could speak again, I hung up and blocked this number. I then walked into the apartment building and dragged my
luggage into the
elevator.

After tidying up the apartment, I sat on the sofa to rest.

Just at that moment, my supervisor called and said with obvious concern in his voice, “Grace, didn’t you tell your husband about
going abroad? He just called me. He was so anxious that he almost called the police, so I told him your current address.”
I gasped, then let out a long sigh.
“Never mind, he can’t really come to find me anyway. By the way, we’re not married, so he has nothing to do with me anymore.”
My supervisor seemed to understand something from my brief words.
Before hanging up, he reminded me not to let my personal issues affect my work. I ruffled my hair irritably and checked the
blocked, messages on my phone, and the screen was full of Antonio’s numbers.
We had been together for eight years, and the number of times he took the initiative to contact me was much less than he had
done today. I felt it was really ridiculous and ironic.
Perhaps he didn’t want his simple wedding to be absent from both protagonists, for it would be too embarrassing. I finally had
time to have a look at my phone album and clean up the photos I had secretly taken of him in the past.
