Trapped In A Fake Relationship

Wylynn said her goodbyes to Naia as the car parked outside Turnhill Community. She stopped by the trash can downstairs before getting in. She rummaged for the hotel card from her pocket and paused for a moment before she folded it in half and tossed it in.

Despite growing up in a different environment, Wylynn's stepmother Halle took wonderful care of her and never changed over the years. Even though she and Neo had broken up, there was no bad blood between her and her Aunt Halle.

Halle kept serving Wylynn vegetables during dinner when Wylynn suddenly remembered, "Right, is Neo coming this weekend? What is he going to do here?"

"Ean is going to move dormitories, and your Aunt Halle and I have some stuff to do over the weekend. He has so much stuff to move and needs help." Jakob explained. Ean, sitting next to Wylynn, originally wanted to concentrate on getting more salad. After he heard Jakob and Wylynn's concerns, he finally joined the conversation and said, "I can move it slowly by myself. I don't need his help."

Wylynn knew that Ean was only trying to protect her now that her relationship with Neo had gone south. She reached out and poked his forehead lightly. "With that body of yours, I doubt you can do it."

Wylynn gave it a thought and said, "I'll go and help you move in this weekend. Aunt Halle, can you call Neo and tell him he doesn't need to come?"

"Wy..." Halle insisted, but Jakob tugged at her sleeve to stop her.

The mood during dinner turned serious. Wylynn helped Halle clean the kitchen and went to bed early. For Wylynn, it wasn't easy to forget Neo. There were many memories of him in this house. Everyone thought they would end up together for eight years, making everybody jealous. But in the end, he cheated on her without hesitation.

Trust, just like glass, once you broke it, it would never be the same again. It could be fixed, but the cracks would remain. So it's often better to leave things broken than to injure yourself attempting to put the pieces back together.

In Wylynn and Neo's case, there would be no second chances. It would be impossible for both to reconcile, even as friends. Wylynn suddenly remembered a sentence she read on Facebook a long time ago.

[A glass of wine to the past, for no matter how much you love it, you will never look back.]

For some reason, she couldn't help but post it to her circle of friends, blocking her colleagues and most people. Her eyes felt a little tired, so she put her phone down. Sighing deeply, she got up from bed and went to the bathroom with her slippers. Wylynn took a shower and finished just after 10 o'clock. She wanted to go to bed early.

She changed into her pajamas, lay on the bed, and checked her phone. A dozen messages in her circle of friends made Wylynn curious that she clicked in doubtfully and saw Naia and Sahana chatting in her post.

Naia: [Are you feeling empty, lonely, or cold? Do you need some company? Why are you posting this kind of stuff at this time of night? Do you need me to pick you up now?]

Sahana: [Wy is with someone, why would she still need you?]

Naia: [No, no, Wy said that her little boy toy is useless, and she's now planning to move on to the next one.]

Sahana: [What? I don't think Wy's the type to say something like that.]

Naia: [It's true! If you don't believe me, ask Wylynn yourself, she told me personally that guy couldn't do it.]

All this bantering between her friends woke her up. She then remembered adding Levi's profile earlier today and forgot to hide the post from him. Naia is their mutual friend, and she did not reply to Sahana for two comments but left a message directly.

This means that Levi may see her circle of friends.

"Shit!" Wylynn deleted the post immediately after realizing it. She then returned to her group chat and asked Naia. [What nonsense were you talking about just now! What if someone sees it!]
