Chapter 23 288 Vouchers The plane was taxiing. I forced myself to take a nap.
But sscenes kept rushing into my mind. When I disposed of my things, I opened Antonio's safe.
After we established our relationship, I made a pair of matching rings.
Antowouldn't wear his ring. He put both rings into the safe. He set a combination and didn't tell me. He said we should wait to wear them at our wedding.
I racked my brains to open the safe, but I couldn't figure out the combination.
Then, I tried the date of the concert, which was Ruth's birthday. The safe clicked and opened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe rings weren't there, though. There were only well-preserved photos and a diary.
In the photos, Ruth and the 18-year-old Antowere smiling at each other.
The photos had yellowed a little, but the affection between the pair was obvious.
The diary recorded the daily life of the lovebirds.
It said how Antomissed Ruth after she left without saving goodbye. Chapter 23 19 No wonder passion was rekindled between them after they reunited.
Antomust've thrown away the matching rings I made along with other matching items.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to great lengths to open the safe. It was not like I wanted to snoop into the sweet past of him and Ruth.
Then, I wouldn't have known he was thinking of his first love when he was with me.
They did deserve each other. Ruth had left Antowithout a word.
And he went back to her without breaking up with me.
I had loved him heart and soul for five years. It turned out I was only his pastime.
Sleepiness cto me. I was too drowsy to tell if Antohad ever truly loved me.
If he hadn't, why did he do all the chores and just wantto relax? Why was he sweating and beggingnot to leave him when my uncle calledand urgedto go back to Freyford City? Why did he say we should have two kids and keep a cat and a dog after we got married? We even had named our imaginary children.
However, if he had loved me, how could he get back together with Ruth without breaking up withfirst? Chapter 23 288 Vouchers Why did he distrustand make my colleagues believe I was the other woman? However, it was pointless to be obsessed with these things now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment I accepted the marriage my uncle arranged for me, Antoand I were out of each other's world. When the plane landed, my uncle lan Perry and my mom Karen Perry had been waiting forfor a long time.
"Grace, you're finally back. What's so good about the south? It's rainy and wet. You've been frait since chidh childhood. Why did you stay there for so many years?" "Karen, you shouldn't have let Grace go to college in the south. If it weren't for my friend Antonio, she'd have suffered."
lan added, "You cback to get married. Did Antosay anything? He's s praised you several times. He thinks you're talented." "He only said that because of you. He was being polite. Don't take it seriously." lan disagreed.
"I know him better than you do. He won't just praise anyone. He has high se anyone. H standards wonder who else he'll appreciate in the future. Back then..." It seemed everyone knew Ruth was Antonio's unforgettable first love.
Only I was the idiot who kept a five-year secret relationship Chapter 23 with him. In the end, I left with a battered heart.
