When My Girlfriend Falls In Love with My Male BrotherChapter 1
At a friend's gathering, my girlfriend's male best friend peeled a big crab for her.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on me.
They thought I would be jealous or angry.
Yet I led the applause and wished the two eternal happiness.
"You look so affectionate. Why don't you two kiss?"

My name was Danny Jackson. Last month, on my birthday, Lara Thornton, my girlfriend, left me in the middle of my birthday celebration to attend the classmate gathering of Austin Woodward, her male best friend.
I was angry and asked her why.
She blamed me for not trusting her, saying that trust was the most basic thing between couples.
Besides, there were so many people present. It wasn't just the two of them.
As a result, we stopped talking to each other for two weeks.
This afternoon, Lara sent me a screenshot of a page about a restaurant reservation.
She rarely took the initiative. Every time we fought, I was always the first one to give in.
Only then did she reluctantly agree like a queen.
I looked at her message.
It was just a screenshot without any words attached. But it was enough to make me happy.
Lara was always like this. She was so good at the carrot and stick policy.
Lara and I weren't exactly like a couple. I guessed it was more appropriate to address me as her simp.
She was my owner holding the leash, and I willingly handed over the leash to her.
Whether our relationship was good or not depended entirely on Lara's mood.
I was such a loser who let her manipulate me.
I loved her so much and so humbly that I had no say in our relationship at all.
But today, when I saw her message, I didn't feel happy at all.
Once upon a time, a message from her would have been enough to make my day.
I replied as usual.
[OK, honey. See you tonight.]
When I finished work, a colleague asked if I wanted a ride home.
"I'm going out for dinner with my girlfriend tonight." I scratched my head in embarrassment.
"Danny, you and your girlfriend are so in love."
I was afraid that wasn't true. Our relationship was on thin ice.
After all, it was like unrequited love. I was kind of tired now that I had devoted for such a long time.
The reserved time was 7:00 p.m., but I arrived at 6:30 p.m.
The rain was drizzling, and I sat in front of the window from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Lara was nowhere to be seen.
I called her, but she didn't pick up. I texted her, but she didn't reply.
