15 Days Before I Left Him Chapter 19
Anthony stood in front of the private room door, and even went to the restroom to tidy up his clothes in front of the mirror.Â
Originally, he had only come here for a meal, never expecting to run into Genevieve. But after he found out where she was, he could not wait for the next meeting. So, after hastily straightening himself up, he arrived at the door of the private room.
Before pushing open the door, he had imagined how Genevieve might react. She might still be angry with him, unwilling to forgive him. Or perhaps she had already let go of the past, seeing him as nothing more than an ordinary friend. But he felt that no matter what position he now held in Genevieve’s heart, he could accept it. As long as he could see Genevieve again, he was confident he could rekindle her feelings for him.
Yet the one thing he had never considered was that Genevieve already had a boyfriend, and was even about to get married.
When he heard the word “fiancée,” it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, chilling him from head to toe. His heart felt as if it was being gripped tightly by a giant hand, making it impossible to breathe. He wished so much that in the next second, he would hear Genevieve say she was only joking, that Derek was just a classmate.
But that did not happen. He heard her friends inside the room discussing more and more heatedly, even shifting from the topic of competing to be bridesmaids to who would be the godmother of Genevieve’s future child.
He could not hold back any longer! After shouting those words, Anthony pushed open the door. His gaze immediately landed on the hands of Genevieve and Derek, which were clasped together. The obvious intimacy between the two made it even harder for him to breathe.
However, Genevieve did not care what Anthony thought after seeing this scene. She only knew that they had broken up two years ago. To Genevieve, Anthony was at most a familiar stranger. On a day like today, which should have been filled with laughter and joy, his appearance had forcibly ruined the atmosphere. He had even asked a question that, to Genevieve, seemed completely out of context. She could not help but recall that when she left two years ago, he had made it very clear that he wanted to break up.
So what did Anthony mean by this now?
Genevieve looked at him with a frown, her tone full of impatience. “What are you doing here? We broke up two years ago.”
Feeling the itch in her palm, Genevieve turned to look at Derek, whose eyes were full of grievance, and could not help but laugh, tightening her grip on his hand. It seemed she would have to comfort him properly later.
Derek, who had been making small moves beside Genevieve, sensitively noticed Anthony’s burning gaze. But Derek was not the type to back down; he immediately put his arm around Genevieve’s waist to assert his claim.
Even Adrianna, who had been watching the drama, could not stand it anymore and stepped forward with a cold expression. “Anthony, you were the one who chose that woman two years ago. Why are you coming to Evie now?”
Anthony, however, seemed not to hear her at all, his gaze glued to Genevieve. “Evie, this is all fake, isn’t it? You brought someone here on purpose to make me angry, didn’t you?”
