It was three o'clock in the morning. My phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

I impatiently reached for my phone and clicked on the screen. I couldn't see the screen clearly because of the dazzling light.

It was Stella.

She had disappeared with my boyfriend for two years.

My drowsiness dissipated in an instant. I sat up and turned on the night lights.

After being stunned for a few seconds, I clicked on the message box.

There was a photo and a text message.

In the photo, Harry was sleeping soundly in Stella's arms. In addition, there was a ring box specially placed on the pillow, which was particularly eye-catching.

That message said, "Maisie, I've brought your boyfriend back for you. We had done everything intimate in the past two years. I wonder if you still want him."

I grabbed my phone tightly, and the screen went out.

Two years had passed. It was so disgusting to think of those people and things of the past.

Two years ago, Stella was diagnosed with ALS.

She immediately informed Harry, while he was proposing to me.

At that moment, Harry's relatives and friends were persuading him to calm down, and I was begging him not to leave, but he didn't listen to any of us.

He resolutely abandoned me.

It had been two years since he left, and he never contacted me at all.

Early in the morning, my phone rang again.

In the high school classmates chat group, all the classmates were reminding me to attend today's class reunion on time.

They hadn't been so enthusiastic since Harry had abandoned me at the engagement ceremony.

Even those who used to be indifferent to me were now talking to me affectionately.

It was as if they hadn't avoided me in the past.

Someone even said that he would pick me up personally.

It seemed that I had to attend.

I arrived at the party on time. Most of the people had arrived.

All of them were particularly enthusiastic when they saw me, as if I was still the little princess of the Shelton family.

"Maisie, do you still need investors for the mountain project you mentioned before? My company can still help you with some cash flow."

I smiled slightly.

"Thank you but I have found one."

"All right. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

Everyone's attitude changed dramatically.

I was really not used to it.

Sally, my best friend, walked through the crowd and pulled me aside.

"Maisie, do you know why these people suddenly changed their attitude? It's because Harry is back, and he arranged this party."

My guess was confirmed, but my heart still felt stuffy.

Sure enough, it was because of Harry.

The great Mr. Gray had enough fun and finally came home. People welcomed him with open arms.

Even I benefited from it.

However, their smiles were in vain.

I was no longer the one standing by Harry.

Suddenly, the door of the banquet hall was opened again.

Today's protagonist had finally appeared.

Harry was dressed in a formal suit, looking delicate. He used to be indifferent, but now he was smiling. He was still as noble as before.

Stella stood next to him. Her face was rosy, and she looked energetic. She didn't look terminally ill at all.

She was really well-nourished.

Stella greeted all the classmates one by one.

She had only joined our class for six months in year 12, but she had a deep relationship with everyone.

She also caught Harry's heart.

In just half a year, she had become Harry's unforgettable love.

Since Harry arrived, some people stepped forward and talked to him.

Then, he saw me in the direction they were pointing at.

Even from afar, I could still see the smile on his face as he strode towards me.

He walked up to me and pulled me into his embrace.

"Maisie, I'm back. I miss you so much."

I'd blocked out emotions for the past two years, but I felt like crying in this moment.

I hated myself.

Just one hug made my heart soft.

I froze in his arms, unable to react.

Stella was standing far from us. She was smug but now her face turned pale.

After a while, I smelt the jasmine scent on his body. It reminded where he had stayed last night.

I suppressed my disgust and pushed him away.

"Harry, your girlfriend is watching. Mind your behavior."

He looked back at Stella and rubbed my hair with a smile.

"Maisie, don't be angry. Stella is not my girlfriend. You're my only girlfriend."

What a joke.

Harry, why do you think I still want you after you had been with another woman for two years?

I pushed his hand away and chuckled.

"Harry, we had nothing to do with each other. Don't be shameless."

He frowned and then knelt down on one knee.

"Maisie, I know it's my fault. I shouldn't leave the engagement ceremony, but Stella was trying to kill herself at that time. I couldn't just leave her alone. Doctors had finally managed to control her illness in the past two years. The first thing I wanted to do was to come back and give you a surprise. I miss you so much."

Then, he took out the ring box I saw in the photo last night from his pocket and opened it.

"Two years ago, I ruined our engagement ceremony. Now, I'll hold another one. Maisie, can you give me another chance?"

I gawked at him in disbelief.

The classmates also kicked up a fuss at the right time.

"Say yes."

"Say yes."

Looking at their expressions, I suddenly understood.

That was why they had changed their attitude.

As expected, Harry was a big shot.

How affectionate and noble he was.

I felt so disgusted that I wanted to vomit.

I watched him put the ring on the joint of my right ring finger with a confident smile.

Then I suddenly clenched my fists and threw out the ring.

"Harry, you don't care about what happened two years ago. Now it's my turn to dump you."

The smile on his face froze as he looked at me in disbelief. Then, he grabbed my hand.

"Maisie, stop messing around. I won't leave you again. Stella's condition is under control. Even if it relapses, we can take care of her together. I don't want to leave you anymore."

I couldn't help to pick up a glass of wine and threw it at him.

It was the first time that I had found that Harry was so brazen and self-righteous.

Seeing him in such a sorry state, I smiled and walked out.

I could hear Sally cursing behind me.

"Harry, do you really think you can do whatever you want? Go and find your b*tch. You don't deserve Maisie anymore."

Harry and I grew up in the same compound.

We played and studied together.

I thought that we would be together forever.

I had been clingy to him since I was a child. He always took care of me, doted on me, and coaxed me.

Everyone knew how good he was to me.

Even when all his classmates joked that I was his little wife, he never denied it.

He even took me in his arms to declare his sovereignty.

In the last year of high school Stella came to our class.

I became Harry's 'sister'.

They flirted with each other in a high-profile manner, and we gradually keep distance with each other.

Harry didn't belong to me anymore. It took me three years to admit it.

During the sophomore year in college, they couldn't afford the long-distance relationship.

Stella changed her mind. She had fallen in love with someone else.

Harry was devastated after breaking up with her, so he got drunk every day.

He asked me why she didn't love him anymore.

I asked him why he fell in love with someone else so easily. I liked him so much since I was a child.

He didn't answer my question. He was quiet for a long time.

Ever since then, Harry had never mentioned Stella again. Later on, he confessed his love to me.

He said, "Maisie, I'm sorry. I've been muddleheaded for so long. Fortunately, you're still waiting for me."

Harry, you know that there won't be a second chance.

I'm also a human. My heart also hurts.

You think I'll never leave you and I'll always wait for you. I can't stand it anymore.

Harry called me all night.

I didn't answer or hang up.

In the past, it was always me calling him.

Now it was his turn.

"Ms. Shelton, bad news. The landowner of our project has gone back on his word."

My assistant Nora rushed into the office and brought me bad news.

"What's going on?"

"I'm not sure about the details. This morning, he suddenly contacted us and said that he would not sell it."

I took the coat from the chair and got up in a hurry.

"I'll go there myself now."

If we couldn't reach an agreement on this piece of land, the initial investment will be a heavy loss.

It took me a lot of effort to get the investment for this project, in order to save the Shelton Group on the verge of bankruptcy.

I didn't want to lose it.

As the sun set, I was in a daze on the way back.

The landowner told me to give up. He said that I might have offended someone.

He said that the new buyer promised to double whatever I offered.

With the current capital of the Shelton Group, it was impossible for me to afford the land.

This trap, which was specifically designed for me, accurately hit me on the point.

It was bright in the compound.

I looked up and saw that my apartment was the only one with lights off.

After my family's accident, I didn't dare to live alone in the same place.

I bought this apartment, because I wanted to stay in the crowd.

"Maisie."

I looked around and saw that Harry was sitting on a bench downstairs in the darkness.

"Why are you here?”

Harry stood up and walked to me.
