Within a day, I lost the person who loved me the most, and the person I loved betrayed me.
I immersed myself in sadness for several days and finally finished handling my grandpa's funeral.
Only then did my mind start to be clear.
During that period, Christa didn't call me once, and I didn't contact her either.
The dorm manager had started urging me to pick up my luggage. When I arrived at school with dark eye circles, many passing classmates pointed at me and whispered about me.
Everyone knew that I had been pursuing Christa for the past few years, and yesterday's proposal venue I set up made me well-known.
Almost the entire school knew that the female lead of the proposal not only didn't come but also had cuckolded me.
As expected, I was surrounded as soon as I arrived at the dorm. Fortunately, Matthew locked the door in time.
Everyone in the dorm was busy with their things, and no one spoke for a while.
Just as I was about to finish packing up, my phone rang. It was Christa.
I hung up and blocked her number directly, then continued packing.
Afterward, Matthew handed me his phone. I glanced at it and hung up directly.
"Not bad, Dylan."
I remained silent, and in a short while, Christa had called all the people in my dorm.
Helpless, I had no choice but to answer the phone.
"Dylan Baker, what do you mean? That day, I was really busy..."
"Let's get to the point."
"Are you guys picking up your luggage today? I have to work and I can't go. Can you help Joseph get his? He has been in poor health since he was young and can't carry such heavy things.
"And get my things too. Will you?"
Before she finished speaking, I hung up directly and returned the phone to Luke Turner.
"Not bad, Dylan. You finally act like a man."
I didn't say anything. I was holding the garbage ready to throw it downstairs, but as soon as I opened the door, I heard Joseph and another boy talking.
"Joseph, you're really amazing. This time you've tricked Dylan. He must never have expected that he would be a part of your relationship with Christa."
"Huh, Christa is just playing with his emotions. If it weren't for him being obedient and giving gifts, Christa wouldn't even bother with him. He's a poor boy who wants a fairy-like girl. How ridiculous!"
To train me, my parents made me earn my tuition and living expenses in college.
So, I gave them the wrong impression, making them think I was a poor boy.
