Chapter 15
Although they were cousins, their personalities were completely opposite.
Calvin was very cold in temperament, focused on academics, and completely uninterested in matters of love.
However, Vicente was quite decadent, always at the bottom of the class, but he never tired of things like board games and racing cars.
Approaching him was not difficult, it was Helena’s specialty – hunting. She had always been the most patient.
Not long after, Vicente was already being toyed around by her, the two of them flirted for a long time, but never officially defined their relationship.
Whenever Vicente was about to confess his feelings, Helena would always stare blankly into his eyes as if she was looking at someone else. The words that needed to be said never found the right moment to come
out.
Until graduation, Helena suddenly brought up the idea of dating to give it a try, with the understanding that it could end at any time if it didn’t feel right.
Vicente woke up as if from a dream, feeling excited like he had just won the lottery. However, he didn’t show it on his face, pretending to agree. nonchalantly.
However, during the relationship, Helena was extremely cold and showed no awareness of being a girlfriend at all.
During the date, Helena always unconsciously stared at her phone. It wasn’t until she received a new message that she looked at the contact on
the screen, her eyes instantly lighting up, and quickly finding an excuse to leave.
For example, he wanted to progress the relationship by taking the initiative to hold hands and kiss. Helena always subtly avoided it, even jokingly saying it was awkward and taking the initiative to let go.
Vicente always thought that it was her personality. As long as they loved each other, they could work things out.
Until that day, Helena made an excuse about a school lecture and stood up Calvin for their movie date. She aimlessly wandered around the campus, planning to ask Calvin for some notes to help Helena study for finals.
Vicente remembered very clearly. It was 7 o’clock in the evening on May 28th, the sky was getting dark, and he stood not far from the men’s dormitory, watching his girlfriend Helena in front of Calvin, acting like a dog, without any self–respect.
It was clearly the sun of early summer, but Vicente felt the pain as if it were shining directly on him. It was an especially intense pain.
After the breakup, he blocked all news about Helena and Calvin.
However, after all, they were cousins and attended the same university. Even news that he didn’t want to hear would still find its way to his ears.
For example, Calvin was forced to kidnap Helena for two weeks.
For example, Calvin was diagnosed with autism.
For example, they got married.
On the day he received the invitation, Vicente sat on the subway in Britain, silently staring at the names of the bride and groom on it, his eyes. filled with darkness.
Chapter 15
Just like now, he looked at Helena, who was wearing a bathrobe and looking shocked. Then he walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and said lightly, “I hope you’re doing well, sister–in–law.”
Helena was only stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She turned around and sat calmly on the sofa, with no expression on her face.
“I am no longer your sister–in–law,” the woman’s voice was very faint.
The divorce certificate placed on the coffee table was particularly conspicuous.
Vicente’s gaze faltered slightly as he stared at the divorce certificate for a long time. He pursed his lips and asked, “What, did my brother dump you again?”
Helena felt absurd and chuckled. When she laughed, there were dimples. at the comers of her mouth.
Vicente clenched his fist and heard her say, “Get it straight, little brother, this time I dumped your brother.”
Don’t be deceived by her.
Absolutely not.
In Vicente’s mind, countless times he reminded himself not to be pitiful like a bereaved dog, not to be so humble and submissive.
However, in the moment he saw the divorce certificate, Vicente suddenly felt, what does dignity even matter?
He pursed his lips tightly, his expression changing constantly. After a long time, he finally spoke in a dry voice, “So, do you want to reconsider
me?”
Helena suddenly froze her hand.
