Forgot About Loving You

I threw away my phone and bandaged the wound.

Suddenly I remembered that Kate had been provoking me for three years.

It was not that Nolan did not know that. 

But every time, he would repeat the same trick.

He was sure that I was soft-hearted and that I loved him.

I was also determined that he was the only one in my life and I was also determined that I would forgive him no matter how he crossed the line.

However, he kept trying to make me feel guilty and tolerate Kate without any limits.

Nolan never saw Kate deliberately finding fault once.

Every time he ignored me, talked about me and even scolded me for Kate.

Then, he would lower his posture slightly to coax me and promise me that he would never do it again.

That cycle repeated countless times.

But that time, I did not want to tolerate it anymore.

I opened my computer and replied to the email asking me to go to Texas to teach.

In ten days, I would have completely moved on from Nolan.

But for those days, I just wanted to have a good sleep since I was so tired.

Just as I laid down not long ago, Nolan came back with Kate.

He turned on all the lights in the house and pulled me out of bed.

Nolan's expression was the ugliest I had ever seen when he asked me through gritted teeth, “Why did you call Kate a bitch, Caroline?

“Don’t you know that Kate only has a little cat left in her life?

“Do you know that Kitty is a cat that she and my brother raised together? Do you know how afraid she was of losing Kitty when he got sick?

“You don't know anything yet you send her a WhatsApp in the middle of the night calling her a bitch?

“Caroline, when did you become like this? You've gone too far!”

Kate was holding Kitty behind him, with her head slightly lowered and her eyes red.

Kate lost all the arrogance she had when she sent me a WhatsApp a while ago and said with an expression that she had been badly bullied by me.

“Caroline, I sent you the photo just to stop you from thinking too much. Nothing really happened between me and Nolan.”

She cried before continuing, “How can you scold me right away?

“I promise you, even if I'm dying, I won't ask Nolan to come to me anymore, okay?”

She burst into tears after that.

As a result, Nolan raised his hand and rubbed her cheek with care. Then, he put his arm around her shoulders and said, “Silly, what are you talking about? I'll be there whenever you need me.”

When I heard those words, I suddenly realized something.

Whenever I was wronged in the past, Nolan would hug me and say, just like he did.

But at that moment, he did it for another woman. He hugged someone else tightly in front of me.

With unconcealed disgust in his eyes, he said to me, “Caroline, don't try to explain. Explanation is just covering up. You disappoint me so much.

“I've told you countless times not to bother with Kate, don't you understand?

“I just treat her as my sister. Do you have to have such dirty thoughts about her?

“No matter how good I am to her, it's all to help you atone for your sins, do you understand?”

Since he said all the worst things to me, I took out my cell phone to prove myself and show him what Kate said.

But on the phone, the messages Kate sent had already been withdrawn by her.

What was left in my phone was the voice note I sent, “You bitch.”

In a rage, I raised my hand and wanted to slap Kate. But before the slap could land, Nolan protected Kate.
