Exposing a Boyfriend's Betrayal

When Troy went home, I couldn't completely detach myself from my emotions.

Seeing me with red eyes, he frowned and put down the small cake in his hand.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

I threw my phone at him in anger.

"Take a look at what your mother said to me."

Troy took the phone and finished reading the chat records.

His expression was a bit ugly, as if he couldn't believe his mother would say such things.

"My mom..."

Troy sighed.

"Wendy, my family is in the countryside and the conditions are not good. My mom is used to being frugal, so she may speak inappropriately for a moment. I'm sorry."

With his explanation, I couldn't calm down at all. I just sneered, "What does it have to do with me, Troy, if your mom is used to being frugal? I just accepted a 40 dollars red envelope from you, that's all!"

"I dare not accept this red envelope anymore, I'll return it to you."

I had always had a mild temper, but Troy became a little flustered when he saw that I was really angry.

He held me in his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made you suffer."

"I will talk to my mom, Wendy, can you please not be angry anymore?"

"Look, I brought you a small cake, your favorite strawberry cake."

It's one thing if he didn't say that, but when he said it, my grievances well up from the bottom of my heart.

I leaned on Troy's body and my tears fell heavily.

"Troy, I dare not eat the cake. How much have you spent on me over the years, you know about it."

Troy's body stiffened for a moment, and he reached out to stroke my back.

"Hmm, I know."

With my head lowered, I didn't see the complexity that flashed through his eyes.

After hugging Troy like this for a while, my emotions calmed down a lot, and I gave him a way out.

"Let me see the cake you bought."

Troy breathed a sigh of relief and handed me the cake as if he what he gave me was a treasure.

"Well, this shop is now very popular. I queued for half an afternoon to buy it."

The small cake was indeed exquisite.

When did Troy start to know about popular shops?

When I told him about these shops before, he never had any patience to listen to me.

Who could be the friend who went shopping with him?

My heart was in chaos.

Before going to bed at night, I habitually opened the short video app and saw the woman I saw last time."

Today's content was about her shopping with her boyfriend.

The man who didn't appear in the camera generously and readily bought various expensive cosmetics for her.

In the video, the woman with fair and smooth skin smiled brightly.

"Sisters, remember, as women, we should love ourselves more!"

I subconsciously touched my face.

Once upon a time, I was also the focus of attention in school.

I was good-looking and good at studying.

But at the last class reunion, they all said I had changed.

My skin was dull, and I was not willing to buy expensive clothes. Even though I was not yet thirty, I looked more and more like a shrewd aunt in the market.

I turned my head and looked at the soundly sleeping Troy beside me.

Compared to my dullness, time hadn't left too many traces on his face.

Of course, although we were saving money to buy a house, his investment in himself was far greater than mine.

I used to not care, but now, I couldn't help but reflect.

Was my choice really right?
