Chapter 3

Indeed, his loyalty was only to Zendaya.

At the table, he ate with relish, completely ignoring my gray face. After eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth, threw the leftovers on the table.

Then he said to me. "By the way, you will accompany me to see Zee later. She has depression. Because of the flood I encountered, she lives in fear every day, fearing that something will happen to me again. You will accompany her to comfort her then."

I almost laughed when I heard it. "Zee?"

"When you call me Zee, are you thinking of me or her?"

He loves to call me "Zee" when we were in love. Every time I heard it, I always responded with a coquettish voice with a smile. But now I knew that what he had been talking about was his white moonlight "Zevanya" from beginning to end. And I, who was treated as a substitute, was still smiling and immersed in this false sweetness.

His face looked a little ugly, "What are you doing?"

I sneered and asked him, "Is it fun to deceive yourself?"

"Shut up!" He was angered by my words and shouted, "This has nothing to do with you!"

I looked at his figure about to leave and asked lightly, "Are you going to her house?"

"Just to comfort her, nothing else, don't worry." He replied casually.

After saying that, as if afraid that I would think too much, he pulled me to open the door.

"You supervise from the side, is it okay?" he said.

When we arrived at her door, it was Zendaya who opened the door for us. When she saw me, her eyes were stunned for a moment.

"Zevanya, you are here too?" She greeted us.

She held my hand in pretended surprise and hugged me without saying anything. I pushed her away.

Christian immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing? Zevanya kindly greeted you and you have this attitude?"

I ignored him and looked at the photo frame placed at the entrance. It was a photo of her and Christian at the top of the mountain.

Zendaya came over immediately and carefully protected the photo frame in her arms, looking at me pitifully, "At that time, he accompanied me to climb the mountain to relieve my depression. Zevanya, you won't be angry, right?"

I pursed my lips. So, this what happened a while ago.

At that time, I was in the early stage of my work and was under great pressure. But at this time, he failed in his business and owed a lot of debts. His family was so poor that they could hardly make ends meet. At such a difficult time for him, he lied to me that he was going back to see relatives. But in fact he was going to climb the mountain with Zendaya, leaving me alone to clean up his mess.

They rented a car and drove to Tibet. He spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy Zendaya a down jacket and all kinds of facilities were top-of-the-line, which used up our common treasury. And I didn't spend more than 100 dollars on my body at that time.

In order to pay off his debts, I could only work harder and drink until I had gastric bleeding and went to the hospital. At that time, I really thought I was about to die. But thinking of him, I forced myself to leave the hospital and continue to be busy with socializing.

Christian looked at the photo frame with a complicated look. "Zee's illness is more important and we are getting better now."

Yes, the company won the bid and we made a lot of money at once and we turned over completely. I accompanied him from nothing to something and helped him achieve his ambition. But when the flood came, he was the one who left me without hesitation. Under their scrutiny, I just smiled as if nothing had happened.

"It's okay, since it's important to you, just keep it." I said lightly.

Seeing that I didn't react, Christian frowned and pulled my arm. "I warn you, don't think about playing tricks on Zendaya."

I chuckled and looked at him, "What are you talking about, how could it be."
