She felt sad, but the thought that the happiness and anticipation of her family members over the marriage would be shattered


    increased her misery. However, she was not someone who clung to the past. Despite her struggle to ept this fact, she


    maintained her manners. She inhaled deeply, raised her head, and looked at the man across her.


    “Mr. Lloyd, | know in my heart that | am not good enough for you, as you are an amazing person. | wish you... I’m sorry... Enjoy


    your meal.” She then took her bag and left the restaurant while wiping her tears. What she needed right now was a ce to cry


    uncontrobly.


    Annie left the restaurant and went to a nearby café. While still crying, she quickly grabbed her phone and called Ang.


    Ang was eating lunch with her mom in the office cafeteria when her phone rang. Looking at her phone, her heart skipped a


    beat as she saw Annie had called.


    She answered the phone at once. “Hello, Annie?” Annie''s rapid cries, rather than her voice, greeted her on the other end of the


    line as if she were too distraught to talk at the moment.


    “Ann.” Ang called Annie’s name out of concern.


    “Ang... T-The engagement is canceled. Richard called off our engagement. H-He says that he likes another woman.” Annie


    sobbed in dejection upon recounting that.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Where are you? I''lle to you,” questioned Ang in a gentle voice.


    “I''ll send you the location.” Annie just needed someone to confide in. She sent the location to Ang as soon as she terminated


    the call.


    Ang informed her mother before hitting the road by car toward the coffee shop. By the time she found Annie, the jilted woman


    was sitting right there with puffy eyes and a long face.


    Ang sat next to her and gave her a hug. At that moment, Annie threw herself into her embrace as tears trickled down her


    cheeks again.


    “Everything’s gonna be fine. Don’t cry. It’s fortunate that he’s honest with you about his feelings before it’s toote.


    “Ang, | wonder what kind of girl a rigid man like him left me for. She must be an amazing and beautiful person to have won his


    heart.” The sorrow in Annie wasced with crumbs of frustration nheless.


    Ang held her tongue for a moment before offering someforting words. “Let''s not think about that. Just let him be! You''re


    not bad yourself.”


    “Hmm, but I’m not sure how I’m going to face Grandpa, Dad and Mom. They must be disappointed in me.” Not only Annie had to


    ept the called-off engagement, she also needed to face her family’s disappointment.


    “Don’t worry about it. They''ll understand.” Ang then primped Annie’s messy hair strands. “You must believe that your family


    loves you the most.”


    Annie sniffed and nodded like an obedient child. “Hmm. Ang, | actually sensed his indifferent attitude during the engagement


    ceremony back then. I’ve texted him numerous times, but he never replied at all. It is true that he doesn’t care for me.”


    Ang’s chest tightened as her heart ached for Annie, yet she could not help her sister, which ensued a wave of guilt in her. If |


    didn’t fall in love with Richard at the base; if | didn’t exist in the first ce, would he give it a shot with Annie?


    “| asked whether the girl he likes is an outstanding person, but he said that that was not the case. It’s just that no one can take


    away her ce in his heart. Ang, I’m so jealous of that girl!” Annie blinked her teary eyes while she unbosomed her genuine


    thoughts and sorrow without hiding anything.


    Ang’s heart was squeezed by an invisible string and she took a deep breath. ‘Ann, actually- She just wished she could tell the


    truth.


    “What?” Annie stared at her in curiosity.
