While seeing him propose to Neil, I could no longer deceive myself.
I had imagined countless times that Barry might fall in love with someone else during the two years of a long-distance relationship.
But unexpectedly, he would fall in love with my sister, seven years younger than me, and would humiliate me by letting me be a bridesmaid to please her.
It took me half an hour to warm up in the shower.
Barry called me at this time.
"Mia, I heard that you returned to the country. Have you arrived home?"
I remained silent.
Barry was anxious. "Mia, are you already at home?"
"I just arrived at the hotel."
Barry was obviously relieved and spoke to me softly, "Which hotel is it? I'll come find you."
He didn't ask me why I didn't go home.
It was just because he didn't dare let me go home and see those wedding planning books.
I opened the door to get the takeaway when Barry knocked on it.
As I noticed Neil behind him, my attitude became cold. "What's up?"
Meanwhile, I thought to myself frantically, "Has he loved Neil to the point of being inseparable from her?"
Barry rubbed his fingers guiltily.
"Mia, after knowing you have returned to the country, Neil asked me to bring her over to have dinner with you..."
I coldly watched him acting. "Won't she be upset if we have dinner together?"
"Mia, I was ignorant at a young age, and it caused you to have a miscarriage. Can you forgive me?"
Barry kept signaling me to nod with his eyes.
I raised my chin and asked him sadly, "You came here just to make me forgive her?"
Because I was the only survivor of the car accident, Neil was convinced that I killed our father and caused our mother to spend the rest of her life in a sanatorium.
Our family was ruined, and I also felt as heartbroken as her.
Unexpectedly, she deliberately drugged me, and it caused me to have a miscarriage and heavy bleeding, which almost killed me. What was worse, it was difficult for me to get pregnant in the future.
I didn't bother to ask Barry why he fell in love with Neil.
It would make me seem too lowly.
Barry didn't feel guilty anymore because of my silent protest.
"Mia, Neil was just a child back then. She didn't know that the medicine would cause you to have a miscarriage. She has felt guilty about it for many years and has already apologized to you. Why do you still have to dwell on the past?"
