He Ignored My Love, Another Man Treasures It

Alec naturally put his arm around her shoulders as he responded, “Let her be. She's very shameless. 

“You know that when she was chasing me for three years, no matter how coldly I treated her or how much I scolded her, I couldn't drive her away. She just likes to be bullied.”

As he spoke, he pinched Edwina's arm and raised the corners of his mouth, “Women are really troublesome. Siblings are better.”

Edwina immediately twisted her body artificially and poked his chest muscles with her fingers, “That's annoying. I'm obviously a girl, otherwise how could I get pregnant?”

Alec snorted and deliberately put his hand on her chest, “You are so flat and you are still a woman?”

The two of them were laughing and joking and then they slammed the door.

The world seemed to have been muted, leaving only the sound of my own rapid heartbeats. Each beat was like a sledgehammer hitting my chest, causing my entire body to ache.

The elevator finally arrived and I pressed the close door button in panic.

The door slowly closed, but the elevator did not start.

At this moment, Alec’s mother called suddenly, “Kimberley, I know everything about Alec and Edwina. It was indeed Alec who was wrong and I have scolded him severely. Don't take it too seriously. 

“There are always bumps in the road for a couple. Some things should be let go. As long as he still has you in his heart, life can still go on.

“Edwina also said that she would not separate you. You don't have to worry about the baby after it is born. I, as a grandmother, will help take care of it. Just pretend that nothing happened.”

I pursed my dry lips and said, “Auntie, forget it.”

Seeing that I would not listen, her tone immediately changed, “How can you be so stubborn, Kimberley! Although you have a low level of education and are only an undergraduate, which is a far cry from us Alec, you should understand the basic principles, right?

“He just made a mistake once and he confessed it to you, but you want to punish him with one blow? Don't you feel tired of being so picky?”

I tightly grasped the phone, my knuckles turning white as I answered, “Auntie, I'm not being picky. Since you've always looked down on me for my low education and my family's business, I'm barely worthy of your son. 

“I'm withdrawing now, your son deserves better.”

Without waiting for her response, I hung up the phone.

The Miles Family was full of leaders in the education field.

Every time there was a family gathering, the elders always pretended to be concerned and asked, “What is Kimberley's education level? Which university did you graduate from? What is your major?”

I told them the name of the school, they exchanged glances, shook their heads and sighed, “I'm afraid this school will lower the average academic level of our Miles Family. I heard that children's IQ is mainly inherited from their mothers. Our Miles Family will have a hard time in the future!”

Alec just sat there with a smile on his face and never said a word to me.

He also disliked me.

I remembered when I confessed my love to him for the first time, he looked at me with contempt, “Kimberley, my girlfriend must have a college entrance examination score of at least 700. Your score is just above the undergraduate line, right?”

Later he reluctantly accepted me, probably just because I had been pestering him for three whole years.

In the elevator, I slid down the cold wall and sat on the floor, my breathing becoming more and more rapid.

After an unknown amount of time, the elevator finally started to descend.

The moment the door opened, a slender figure stood against the light.

I could no't see his expression clearly, but I knew he must be frowning, just like he did every time he saw me being wronged.

He raised his hand, gently wiped away the tears on my face with his fingertips and then held me in his arms.

“Kimberley, don't let yourself become like this in the future.”

A strong smell of alcohol hit my face. I wondered how much alcohol he had drunk.

This usually gentle and polite man just swore on the phone.
