Frederick's expression darkened as he gritted his teeth. What were they talking about? Why didn't he know about it at all? At this time, the two women slowed down as they tried to recall something.
"Now that you've said it, I seem to have seen it before... Jeremy's tattoo is on his chest right? As for Alicia, does she have the sone? Will it be that it's on her chest too?" "I'm not sure about that. However, I've seen their profile pictures before and it seems like both of their pictures were butterflies: red and blue. Apparently, it represents a man and a woman. They are in pairs! Butterflies must have a special meaning to them! However, I think Lindsay is clueless about it!" "She is a rebound... Look at the way she dresses up, every part of her looks like how Alicia used to do. But, look at Alicia now! She's much more elegant and classy than before! I feel like Lindsay is trying hard to be after Alicia's a's but she will never catch up with her." "Alicia is actually not bad. Although she was a little arrogant in the past, from what I heard, she hadn't deliberately bullied anyone. Thinking about it, she is so pitiful. At that time, she was so in love with him and they were just like a real princess and prince. So many people envied them! However, she got left at the altar during the wedding. I am actually surprised that she could even stand back on her feet! I heard from a friend of Lindsay saying that Alicia had been living a miserable life for three years, waiting for Jeremy on her own." "No wonder she wore a pair of butterfly earrings that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Was she trying to evoke his memories of the past and rekindle their old relationship? Both of them even headed to the bathroom just now..." "But, isn't Lindsay pregnant?" Watching them walk away, Frederick slowly turned his body, his face clouded with thoughts. Following behind him, Carson was also shocked.
What was going on? A wedding... A wedding dress... Had Alicia almost gotten married before? Was she still deeply in love with her ex-fiance? What about Frederick? Did Frederick steal her from someone? This was too out of line with his character. It was just too unbelievable! Before Carson could recover from his shock, Frederick had turned around and headed to the bathroom...
At this time, Alicia shut the door of the tiny bathroom. The smile on her face disappeared instantly and it was replaced by a look of helplessness and sadness.
"I didn't expect that he would speak for her!" she thought.
Looking up, she blinked her eyes as she tried to force back the tears into her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe used to have the most amazing tduring college. Throughout all these years, she would always reminisce about those times whenever she was faced with difficulties. Whenever she thought about it, it was as if someone had sprinkled salt on her wound but she still enjoyed doing that.
However, the memories of the good days had broken into pieces at present.
She sniffed and forced a smile again. The wound had been torn open and it probably wouldn't affect her much anymore in the future.
When her father recovered, hopefully, everything would be better as well. Maybe, their family could even return to Bayton City and start it all over.
"That's fine too..." Sure enough, if there was no fear, there would be no weaknesses. Only then would one be afraid of nothing. Facing the people from the past did not seem so difficult. However, taking the first step did cause her heart to ache.
Luckily, she had a true friend.
She got up and calmed herself down. She felt as if a huge weight was taken off her chest. Although it hurt a little, she felt more at ease.
As soon as Alicia walked out, she caught sight of Jeremy, who was leaning against the wall, frowning and looking somehow disheveled.
If there was a cigarette, he would definitely be eager to light it up and smoke at that instant.
When their eyes met, Jeremy's eyes swept across her ears as he slowly stood up straight.
For a long time, the two of them did not speak.
When Alicia raised her foot and was about to leave, Jeremy reached out his hand to grab her wrist. Then, he turned to block her way. "Ally-" A pained voice could be heard after a long pause. It was as if a century had passed. "I'm sorry!" With a voice full of emotions, Alicia could hear the sincerity in it. She looked up at him as her eyes welled up with tears.
"You're sorry?" In this world, this sentence was the most useless one ever! Did he only have this much to say after all he put her through? It was the first tfor Jeremy to feel the pain of being the gossiping topic in other people's mouths. That instant, he seemed to be able to understand what she had gone through in the past three years. At the beginning of his plan, he had thought about it. Therefore, he had been abroad all these years to escape from his mistake.
That day, his heart had been deeply stabbed. He was shocked to his core.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It was me... I made you suffer!" Tears swirled in Alicia's eyes but she did not let it fall.
"Why? If you really think that you owe me, then givea real reason! Why did you do that? Why did you deceive my feelings?" The scenafrom the gathering was nothing to her. They only made remarks; she wouldn't lose anything by what they had said.
However, her family was once completely broke. They had steamed buns for all three meals they were egged, and they had even slept under the bridge! Compared with the past, the happenings at present were nothing at all! "No! Ally, my love for you was sincere! Everything in St. Abbott University, everything about you... was from the bottom of my heart!" Just one sentence was enough to make Alicia collapse in an instant.
"Really? Jeremy, did your love make you lie tofor three years, stomp on my sincerity, leaveat the altar during our wedding, makethe laughing stock of the whole city) and destroymy family? By being sincere, did you mean to hook up with my best friend, to let my best friend frme at the stand make my life worse? Your so-called 'sincerity' is to slanderafter three years. Now I just need a reason -why did you do what you did? Did I do something bad to you? Why did you destroy everything of mine to makefeel like dying?" "Since you have already done it, why are you afraid of telling me? Tell me, why? Don't lie toanymore II As she roared, she got even more furious! At the stime, Jeremy's face had also changed. He pulled the collar of his shirt with his hands, then the tattoo of half a butterfly was revealed.
"I had never lied to you! No matter what I have done to you, my feelings for you have always been true! In my life, have never loved a woman so much. You always have a special place in my heart! Ally-" When his gaze was fixed on her ear, he couldn't help but choke with sobs! Instantly, Alicia got agitated and shrieked, "Then, why? Why?" "Because..." Jeremy closed his eyes and was feeling great pain as well. He couldn't help reaching out his hand but his thoughts suddenly seemed to be broken and he subconsciously moved his hand toward her ear.
