Chapter 3
Although I had drunk, the fresh air in the car had cleared most of the alcohol from my system.
Looking at his handsome face so close to mine, I definitely knew who he was.]
He was the best student in the class, famous at school, and girls lined up to chase him.]
He had already shown extraordinary music talent before graduating, and teachers even called him “Little Beethoven.“]
We had never interacted before, yet sonight, we somehowe ended up together
Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe something else, but at that moment, I just wanted to let myself sink into him.
“Ryan, you’re Ryan…
As soon as I said it, my lips were sealed, and this time, the kiss was incredibly gentle, followed by soft and tender kisses.
His hands, which usually held a violin, were now gently tradling my face, as if I were an incomparable treasure.]]
Jena
He softly called my name, the end of it making my heart flatter with desire
The next morning. I moved my numb arms, and my fingertips were filled with soreness
It seemed that Ryan had not felt any pleasure last night, as it happened again and again
Remembering last night. I couldnt help but smile lightly.
Who would have thought that the famous violinist would cry when reaching his peak?||
There was no one beside me anymore. I picked up my scattered clothes and put them on, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss.
Forget it. it was juska one–night stand, wasn’t it better to go our separate ways?|||
I suppressed the strange feeling and opened my phone. A message from a friend in Vancouver asked when I would be returning
I quickly typed and sent the message.||
“Not going back.“]
The reply come almost instantly
“Jason is having an art exhibition in a few days, are you really not coming back?“]
No. I’m not coming back. You don’t need to tell me about his matters anymore. We’ve broken up.
In Vancouver,
Jason looked at the glaring breakup words on his phone and threw it down in anger
With a crash, it shattered into pieces.
“Jason, my phone…1
But when he saw Jason’s dark expression, he didn’t finish his sentence
Someone tried to smooth things over.
Jason, Bena must really be jealous, the breakup must have really hurt her, right?”
Jason forced down the frustration he felt and pretended to be unconcerned.
“If the wants to leave, let her. If she never comes back, even if she begs me on her knees, I won’t forgive her
Someone Innked at Jason, feeling that his words were too harsh
When Grace returned from the bathroom, she noticed the strange silence in the rooms.

I took a bite and froze. Is this from the stand by the school? |
He nodded.

Was it just a mincidener?||

A wisthal look crossed his face. “Actually, you might not remember, but I’ve known you since my freshman year.”
“Dena:~||
He looked at me intently as he said my name, his voice lingering on the last syste||
I stared at him, fout there was nothing no memory of
Just as the moment lingered a sudden phone call broke the atmosphere:||
“Sorry, I have something I need to take care of.“[]
“Can we exchange contact info?” he asked
Looking into his damp eyes, I couldict bring myself in say no.
After we exchanged numbers, he left||

I was about in tidy up the room when I noticed everything housekeeping service.
It was Ryan]

I couldn’t help but chuckle when I thought about how this famous gentias young master would do these things.
That smile reminded me of Jason-[]
During those seven years, before jason became a big name, I was the one who enjoyed being pampered and taken care of
But as his career took off, countless social events kept him coming home later and later. And 1, late by little, started learning how to take care of him. ||
Those years, when the lightbulb broke, I changed it myself. When the pipes burst, I fixed them myself. Even when I got hit by a hike and had to go to the hospital, I was on my own.||
And what was he doing at that time?||
He was busy creating, traveling around the country with his junior sister to find inspiration.
Looking back, I even made excuses for him. I told myself to wait a little longer; he has changed. He was sill that young man, promising me happiness in a leaking real
But promises fade, and people change
Jason came home later and later, until eventually, he didn’t come home at all.]
1 kept deceiving myself, making excuses for him. Maybe he’s just busy with work? Maybe he’s exhausted 1067
I wain’t young anymore. Every time I brought up marriage, he would say, “Wait a little lopper.”
Vear after year.]
When I finally mastered the courage to put on a wedding dress and wanted to have an answer with him, he reached out to someone else
I loved jason so much that I lost myself![]
How could someone like me ever expert him to treat me sincerely?]
I thought things with Hyan were over, but that evening, he knocked on my door again.||
If last time was because of alcohol, this time we were both sober.[
from the doorway, we were tangled up all the way to the bathroom []
In the mist filled space, our fingers intertwined, our bodies pressed together in a passionate embrace
He planed me against the glass door, asking over and over, “Who am 17-||
“Ryan Ryan.” My voice was broken, tinged with a playful pour
“Are you a dog?” I gasped as he hit my shoulder, not painful, but strangely unsenting.||
“Dena, I want you to remember me
you going to be responsible for me?” His words were forceful, and I had no strength to resist.||
“okay… okay
From the bathroom to the living room, then to the bed, 1 felt like I was falling apart.||
Yet, he seemed like an insatiable rat. His kisses became lighter, and I felt as though I were floating on a cloud
ng time ago]
Jason’s art exhibition had ended a long
He sat on the floor of the gallery, surrounded by scattered bottles and cigarette butts.||
Grace furrowed her brows, trying to pill hins up.]]
“Jason, Senior”
to her surprise, Jason shook off her hand
“You’re not Elena Whorare you?”
When Grace heard Elena’s name, her face immediately darkened.|||
“Jason! Don’t you have a heart? I’ve been running around for you during this exhibition, and I’m your girlfriend Elena did nothing! What do you want from
Drunk, Jason didn’t even look at Fu Ling. He just stared at the painting in the center of the room.
The painting was called The Only One–piece Jason had given to Elena when she was 23, and he was 25 |
“Get a grip,” Grace urged.||
“Jason Grace sneered, opened her phone, and held up a photo in front of him
“Take a good look. The Elena you’ve been pining for has been with someone else for a long time.
Jason glanced up, and suddenly, much of the alcohol left his syste
It was a blurry photo taken from a distance. But he could immediately tell it was Elena. She was walking alongside a call man.[]
There was
was no intimate gesture between them, but the smile on Dena’s lips stabbed at his heart]]
Once upon a time, that smille had only ever been for him-
Jason suddenly grabbed a beer bottle and threw it at The Only One
Glass shattered everywhere, and Grace screamed, noticing a bloody gash on his arm.
she rushed to him. “Jason.”
“You’re bleeding. Let me take you to the hospital,–||
But Jason ignored her, continuing to throw bottle after bottle at the painting
me cracked and fell to the ground with a loud crash.]
