The video continued to play, and the two of them continued to buy things along the way. When they pass by a dessert shop in the mall, they stopped.

"Oh, this shop is so popular recently, there are so many people." The woman casually mentioned.

The boyfriend standing beside her immediately went to line up.

I saw the name of the dessert shop, which was the same shop that Troy brought me a cake from.

What a coincidence.

I wondered if Troy was also in line at that time?

But the video stops here, and I didn't see any familiar figure in the crowd.

I felt a little annoyed for no reason.

The cake was indeed delicious, but Troy's treatment towards me was really not even one-tenth of what the woman's boyfriend in the video treated her.

I knew it's not good to compare them, but I couldn't help but have internal conflicts.

Was I not worth being treated well by others?

Although I felt a bit uncomfortable, I didn't show it in the following days.

The adult world was not just about love.

His father got drunk and fell into a ditch and was seriously injured and needed to go back to his hometown.

As a future daughter-in-law, it was only natural for me to be present.

I asked for two days off from my boss and went back to my hometown with Troy.

The brick house in the countryside was crowded with visiting relatives.

When Troy's mother saw Troy rushing back, her wrinkled face was filled with surprise.

But that surprise instantly turned into dissatisfaction when she saw me.

"Why did you bring her back?"

I was at a loss when I heard this with bags of supplements in my hands.

"Mom!" Troy tugged at her sleeve, "Don't say that about Wendy."

Troy's mother glared at me and turned back into the house.

I didn't know why she had such hostility towards me.

When we met the parents before, she was kind and gentle, even holding my hand and saying I was a good girl.

Why did she completely change in just a few months?
