After Removing My Love For You
Chapter 3
On the day of my college graduation, Spencer proposed to me.
The company he worked for would send him abroad for a year of study after his graduation.
The house was settled by both of us before he went abroad. To give me a sense of security, he settled our home first.
Because of his words, I had been busy for a few months. In the end, I chose this house close to his company.
He went abroad. I stayed here to decorate our future home, doing everything myself.
"And now he says this house is outdated, but it has only been half a year since the house was renovated."
"Is it that he doesn't like my decoration style? Or is it that my feelings for him are worthless?"
To be honest, I had been thinking about it all night yesterday. I thought it was time for me to sell this house.
Given the relationship between the three of us, we couldn't have further entanglement. Moreover, I did need money for treatment.
With my condition like this, leaving Spencer was just a matter of time.
I just didn't expect Spencer to be so calculating towards me.
"A home for three people?"
"How ridiculous!"
"Spencer, whom I love, shouldn't be this kind of person!"
"He is gentle, attentive, loyal, and loving, and he loves me deeply."
"But he now has been transformed into another person!"
"He is not the Spencer that I love, and it is not worthy for me to keep clinging onto him!"
I told Spencer that I should sell this house.
Spencer suddenly appeared very sad and excited.
"Ava Reid, do you know what you're saying? This is our first home. How can you sell it?"
"Have you forgotten how much effort you put into this home? Are you willing to let it go?"
I looked at him as I couldn't help but laugh.
"His acting skills are truly remarkable."
"If I hadn't overheard their conversation in the hallway, I would have thought he was reluctant to let it go!"
I glanced at Kate. With her eyes filled with hopeful anticipation, she was carefully concealing herself.
I smiled, saying, "Spencer, don't you have a new lover now? She will put in even more effort for you... What does the past matter? You've forgotten me anyway!"
"I admit that I have tried to sow discord between Kate and him."
"But they betray me and plot against me. Of course, I can fight back."
Kate's eyes flickered, and she uncomfortably cast her gaze on the floor.
Spencer sighed and reached out to rub my head.
I instinctively avoided him, feeling disgusted.
He stiffened for a moment. Then, he naturally put his hand down.
"Ava, don't be sulky, okay? New and old lover? What are you talking about? You are my sister. Kate is my lover. We are all family..."
Family used to be a comforting and warm word for me.
As Spencer repeatedly mentioned it, I became extremely disgusted with it.
"Sister? A sister who was once engaged to you? Spencer, did you ever ask Kate's opinion? Is she indeed okay with it?"
Kate bit her lip and stared at me fiercely with hostility in her eyes.
Spencer said nothing more. Staring at me quietly, he had flickering light in his eyes. I wondered what he was thinking about.
A while later, he said harshly, "No way that we will sell the house. You'd better give up on this idea."
He pulled Kate and went back to his room.
Feeling more disgusted, I was furious.
I have been having a lot of dreams these days.
As soon as I closed my eyes with exhaustion, I felt like going back to the days when I stayed in my grandpa's courtyard.
Seeing my grandpa getting busy in the courtyard, I could no longer hold myself back. Suddenly, I burst out crying,
My grandpa went over to hug me, coxing me the way he had done in my childhood.
"Ava, you have suffered."
"Yes, I have suffered so much."
"It's been ten years. Why haven't you come to see me? You bad old man!"
"Without you, no one supports me. Even Spencer dares to bully me!"
Grandpa smiled and let go of me, carefully wiping away my tears.
"Did you scrape your heels again?"
I instinctively looked at my heels, not knowing when they were scraped. There was a faint trace of blood, but I didn't feel any pain.
My grandpa sighed. He squatted down, took off the shoes from my feet, and threw them out of the courtyard.
"If the shoes don't fit, don't wear them! No matter how expensive the shoes are, they are not good shoes if they hurt your feet!"
I stepped barefoot on the cement floor. With the icy touch hitting my heart, I felt enlightened suddenly.
I grinned and smiled at my grandpa, but his face became more and more blurred...
I reached out in panic and bumped into something, making a crisp sound.
"Smack."
