For her First Love, My Wife Sued Me for Murder

Three years later, I finished my studies and returned home. As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Ryan in the crowd.

His eyes lit up when he saw me. He quickened his pace and walked towards me.

"Belle, it's been a while. How have you been abroad all these years?"

I glanced at him indifferently and curled my lips. "Great."

He heard that I used to be depressed and spent all day at home, and I went abroad to put the betrayal behind me.

He had thought that I'd complain bitterly when I saw him today.

To his surprise, I acted all cool. He wanted to apologize, but now, he simply didn't know what to say.

Seeing him standing in front of me stiffly, I was a bit impatient. I was about to bypass him and leave, but I was surrounded by my friends who showed up only now.

Everyone came to welcome me. They said that they had booked a restaurant for my return.

I figured that refusing them would make me look impolite, so I went to the private room of the restaurant together with them.

Not long after we sat down, I heard the sound of footsteps from the door of the private room.

Lara was standing outside the door. She was wearing a red dress that showed her cleavage and a pair of silver high heels. Her makeup was exquisite, and her curly hair was tied up in a bun. She looked very charming.

She was no longer a student. The current her was mature, sharp, and domineering. Her gaze swept over everyone present.

Ryan lowered his head as low as he could. Seemed that he wished he could vanish into thin air right now.

Lara sat down next to him very naturally. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why didn't you tell me about today's gathering?"

Ryan's body trembled, and he didn't say anything.

She looked at me. "Belle, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've become much prettier."

I smiled and retorted, "I haven't changed at all. I've been this pretty since I was a child."

At the same time, the waiter served the dish, which was a plate of fried shrimp that looked great.

I ate nothing but cold dishes when I was abroad, so I was greatly tempted by the fried shrimp. I picked up a few and started to eat.

As I ate, I felt something, so I looked up. Then I saw Lara stare at me without eating.

I lost my appetite at once. I asked her, "Why are you staring at me instead of eating?"

She clicked her tongue in disdain and said, "I don't like peeling shrimp. My mom said we women had to wait for men to peel the shrimp for us. Well, I won't ask for it. Now that there's no one peeling shrimp for me, I choose not to eat."

After that, she glanced sideways at Ryan next to her.

Ryan had just finished peeling a shrimp and was putting it into his mouth. Hearing her words, he stopped.

A friend next to him poked him and teased, "Aren't you a man? What are you waiting for? Peel for her."

Everyone couldn't hold back their laughter anymore and burst out laughing.

"If you want the shrimp, peel it yourself," Ryan said harshly with a blush.

Lara was embarrassed and said angrily, "Fine! If you don't wanna peel, then don't. I don't wanna be here to begin with."

After that, she picked up her bag, stood up, and left the room.

"Ryan, your woman is angry. Go apologize!" everyone in the private room teased him again.

Ryan said to me apologetically, "Sorry for ruining the meal. Gotta go."

After he left, my friends started to gossip.

They said to me.

"Belle, after you went abroad, Ryan always found some excuse to ask us about you."

"The second he knew you were coming back, he offered to hold a party to welcome you."

"Does he regret it and want to get you back?"

I shook my head.

That's impossible! He's a scumbag. Why would he want me back? I bet he just wanna see if I still have feelings for him.

If the answer is yes, he'll show his charisma and flirt with me when he has nothing better to do in order to kill time.

He just didn't expect Lara to find out about the party.

She came to ruin the party and made him lose face, so he treated her harshly.

Guess when they return home, he'll do anything to make her happy.

"Belle, it seems that you've grown a lot after going abroad for three years.

"You used to stay at home due to depression because of Ryan, but now you see things so clearly," one of my friends said.

I nodded. "I can only attract better men after loving myself."
