My Boyfriend Used the Gift I Prepared to Please His Sweetheart's ParentsChapter 1
After eight years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed to me.
In order to meet my future in-laws, I prepared tens of thousands of dollars worth of liquor and bought all kinds of gifts.
But I was suddenly blocked the night before departure.
I thought he just pressed the wrong button accidentally, but unexpectedly I saw him in the post of my boyfriend's sweetheart, Monica Whitney.
He held the gifts I bought and handed them to Monica's parents with a smile.
Monica wrote, [My childhood sweetheart has prepared a gift and is here. Should I accept it?]
I questioned him angrily, but my boyfriend accused me of not being magnanimous enough, “Monica's parents are pressuring her about marriage; I'm just helping her manage their expectations. Don’t stir things up, just wait for me to come back.”
The prepared engagement ring was worn on Monica's hand and the two held hands with their fingers interlocked, looking very affectionate.
I sneered and commented directly under the post, [I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon.]
Less than two minutes after I made the comment, my boyfriend, Marcell Kendrick, called me angrily.
As soon as the call was connected, he started to accuse me, “What do you mean by those vague comments? How am I supposed to live my life if a mutual friend sees you?
“I just helped her with a small favor. Why are you being so uptight? Are you seriously this petty?”
I laughed, a sharp edge to my tone. “Oh, I already wished you a happy marriage and you still call me petty? So, what’s next? Do you need me to stand guard at the door before you head into the bridal chamber?”
Marcell furiously asked, “What nonsense are you talking about? I have explained it to you clearly, but you are still so stubborn. Do you really want to break up?”
Listening to his angry words without a trace of warmth, I felt like my eight years of affection had been wasted.
I had always considered him as my future husband.
I fully support him in whatever he did, whether it was starting a business or something else. I wished I could use myself as a raft to help him reach greater heights.
But Marcell took all that for granted. Whenever something went wrong, he would make a fuss and break up with me.
