She looked straight into his eyes, not understanding why he looked like he had suffered a painful blow. “Brother-in-law, shouldn’t you be happy for me?” “Happy?” John laughed self-deprecatingly. The dim yellow street lights could not hide his pale face. “When did this happen?”
“Two days ago.” She looked at him suspiciously. He seemed a little different tonight. His eyes looked so painful.
Her words had completely crushed the man. He staggered back and leaned his against the car behind him, his face continuing to grow paler than before. “You…”
His heart was in so much pain that it felt as if it was twisting. Even his lungs hurt and he could not breathe. It was as if he was about to be torn apart.
“Have you been drinking?” Otherwise, why would be behaving so strangely?
John walked quickly towards her and held her shoulders. His dark eyes were filled with suppressed anger. “Why…Why didn’t you wait a little longer?”
She looked at him blankly. “What?”
He suddenly hugged her. In a hoarse voice that trembled with sadness and pain, he asked, “Serene, how could you…How can you…”
John couldn’t speak properly.
“What’s wrong with you?” Serenity was at a loss.
In the car not far away, Gabriel looked silently at the two. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it up in his mouth. He looked slightly irritated.
He couldn’t hear their conversation, only able to hear a few words intermittently. Serenity’s back was facing him, so he couldn’t see her expression. However, he could see John’s sorrowful expression clearly.
He took a deep puff of his cigarette. Perhaps it was because he was too anxious that he started to choke. He coughed a few times and smoke spewed out from his mouth and nostrils. The cold wind blew through the half-lowered window, helping calm his breathing again.
When he saw John suddenly hug Serenity, he put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it out the window. He unbuckled his seatbelt but managed to stop himself from jumping out of the car. He leaned back in his chair and pursed his lips as he looked at the two.
John let go of Serenity. His eyes were slightly red as he looked at the girl he had loved for more than ten years. His sorrowful heart felt desolate and lost.
His broken voice continued to tremble as he said, “Serene, i never thought that we would end up like this.”
Serenity’s heart suddenly trembled and a chill surged up from the soles of her feet, spreading to her limbs and bones.
She looked at the man in front of her and realized that she could no longer see through him or guess his thoughts.
“When you gave up on me and married my sister, did you expect me to wait for you? What crazy person would wait for a married man?” She was so angry that she started laughing. Her smile turned cold and her words were now harsh. “John, how selfish can you be?”
Her words were akin to a sharp blade that mercilessly pierced into his heart, hurting him so much that he was completely injured.
He suddenly felt the urge to laugh as well. But something was caught in his throat so he couldn’t make a sound.
Serenity wondered why he was sounding so sad and desperate tonight.
She did not say anything wrong. Wasn’t this the truth?
John looked at her deeply with red eyes that seemed to be accusing her of something. But in the end, he turned around without another word and staggered towards the car. He got in and drove away.
In the quiet night, the sound of the car seemed to represent how the two people who used to love each other had now hurt each other..
