Chapter 2
1/4
The next day, I went to a bar alone to drink away my boredom. My best friend sent me a voice message.
In the audio, someone asked Samuel, “I heard you and Selina broke up again?”
Samuel replied, “Same old trick. She’s always so dramatic and needy.”
“Don’t be like that. You can tell she loves you.”
“I don’t need her love.”
His dismissive tone hurt my feelings.
Someone said, “Bet you anything. She’ll come back to you within a week.”
Another said, “A week’s too long. I bet three days.”
They burst into laughter.
Another voice cut through the laughter. “Samuel, you’re crossing the line.”
The room fell silent.
Then, Samuel teased him, “Ethan, if you like Selina
Chapter 2 have her.”

I rubbed my sore eyes, not wanting to hear anymore. I immediately deleted the recording.
It wasn’t worth being upset over someone like him.
From a nearby booth came a burst of laughter.
I looked over and saw Samuel kissing Lily passionately.
After a while, they finally noticed me.
I stood up to leave, but Samuel followed me. “Selina, had enough of the drama?” He sounded annoyed. “We were just playing a game. Lily and I were just messing around.”
Lily came over, looking pitiful. “Selina, if you’re mad, blame me. I lost the game.”
“You don’t need to apologize, Lily,” Samuel said, shielding her.
Turning back to me, he said, “Selina, play nice. I’ll give you an out now. If you don’t take it, I won’t offer one again.”
His tone was threatening, but I just found it funny.
“Samuel, have you lost your memory?” I sneered, looking at him. “We’re broken up. Your offer isn’t something I need.”
Walking out of the bar, I bumped into someone’s chest.

I looked up and saw Ethan..

He was Samuel’s friend, and we’d become friends over the past couple of years.
On the way back, Ethan asked, “Are you really going through with the breakup?”
I nodded without hesitation, then laughed awkwardly, “Guess I won’t be a bride this year.”
Not long ago, I had sworn to Ethan that I would marry Samuel this year.
Now, this was a slap in the face.
Ethan lit a cigarette and asked, “How about a new groom?”
I blinked. “What?”
He looked at me seriously. “Dare to marry me?
I was stunned.
He added, “How about a bet? Marry me and see what happens.”
His voice was almost hypnotic. Before I could respond, he’d already stubbed out his cigarette and pressed me against the passenger seat, kissing me.
The next morning, before I was even fully awake, Ethan dragged me to City Hall, where I ended up registering for marriage with
Chapter 2
him.

Samuel stared at the empty cigarette box, feeling agitated.
He thought, “Selina hasn’t come home for three days. It seems. she’s really mad this time.
But so what? In the end, she will come back and beg me to forgive her.”
Samuel hesitated for a moment and sent me a message: [Lily’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. Want to come with me?]
I replied soon: [Okay.]
Samuel couldn’t help but feel smug. In his view, I couldn’t live without him.
