What did it mean that we wouldn't break up? Did he want to keep enjoying my love?
How could he even think that?
"How would you like me to be generous?"
Seeing that I hesitated, Henry sat down next to me, completely ignoring my furrowed brow.
"Don't worry, I won't leave you. Even though you're nothing compared to Janet, I won't forget how good you've been to me.
"As long as you don't mess around, I'll take five days out of my month to come back and stay with you, but you can't ask me about things like going out with Janet. And you can't be stingy when I spend your money."
I laughed.
Because I was angry.
Did he think I was stupid?
Even though I used to be foolish, at least I thought my future husband would be faithful to me.
For now...
I slapped him across the face, spitting at him in the process.
"Are you daydreaming? Get out!"
Even though I beat Henry and broke up with him quickly, I was still crying in despair at midnight.
It wasn't that I didn't want to leave Henry, but I just felt like I had wasted eight years. I wanted to have a funeral for my past, so I cried to honor it.
Just when I thought the relationship had come to a happy ending, Henry stood in front of my house with Janet.
I felt unfortunate when I saw them hugging each other as soon as I went out the door.
It was even more unfortunate that Janet was so outgoing. She jumped in front of me and smiled, "Evelyn, let's talk about your breakup with Henry, okay?"
"Well, what do you want to talk about?"
I wrapped my arms around my chest with interest and glanced at her from head to toe.
Based on my experience of seeing a lot of people, I felt that Janet was not simple.
She looked pretty, and her eyes were full of shrewdness and cunning. She wore all the designer labels, but she didn't look like she came from a noble family with dignified manners. I was more than aware that Janet's materialistic desires were probably on par with Henry's.
We had only met once, and I knew Henry was going to be in trouble.
That was why I was in the mood to talk to Janet more.
"Evelyn, with the rules of our circle, and with your earnings, Henry's been with you for eight years, so you should give him a breakup fee."
What were the rules of the circle?
I raised my eyebrows slightly and thought, "Which circle is it? Is it the circle of nobility?"
I suppressed my laughter. "Oh, how much do you want?"
Janet gestured three fingers at me. "At least so much."
