On the night when I and my girlfriend Yolanda Watson got our marriage license, she was supposed to attend the celebration party with me, but she went to attend her ex-boyfriend's birthday party.

When I found her, I saw her singing in the KTV box with tears, and then she confessed to her ex-boyfriend Luis Glen. "Luis, you know, even if I marry someone else, I will never forget you in my heart."

Yolanda's best friend Lily Wilson covered her mouth and said, "It is so touching!"

Luis took the tearful Yolanda into his arms, and they looked at each other affectionately. Then they couldn't help but kiss each other in public. Luis even touched Yolanda's body with one hand.

Yolanda's friends all cheered when they saw this scene, and when I pushed the door open, the two of them were still hugging each other tightly, reluctant to separate.

"Yolanda, come home with me. My father is here."

Although my tone was calm, my voice trembled uncontrollably.

Everyone looked at me with embarrassment. The lighting in the KTV box was a little dim, which made me feel annoyed and depressed.

Seeing me come in, Luis gently patted Yolanda's back and pushed her into my arms. He smiled slightly, looking proud.

"Brian, don't get us wrong. Yolanda is a little drunk. Please don't blame her."

As I looked at Yolanda's makeup which was smudged by her tears and the kiss just now and Luis' smug face, I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart any longer, so I raised my leg and kicked Luis hard in the stomach.

Everyone tried to stop me, and Yolanda also pushed me away. She fell beside Luis and screamed at me, "Brian, don't hit Luis again, or I won't hold our wedding!"

I didn't expect that at this time, Yolanda only cared about Luis.

Staring coldly at Luis, who was lying on the sofa and holding his stomach in pain, I said word by word, "I will deal with you later!"

Yolanda's best friend Lily stood in front of me and shouted, "Brian, you are a terrible man. Stop making trouble on such a good day. Do you think you can do whatever you want because you are rich? How can I trust Yolanda to an emotionally unstable man like you?"

I was shocked by her words and didn't bother to argue with such a stupid woman, so I ignored her.

Lily probably thought that what she said threatened me, and she said loudly, "Let's not talk about what happened just now. Yolanda has already obtained the marriage license with you, and she is your legal wife. She is a little drunk, and it is natural for her to have some intimate behavior with her classmates. Can't you be more generous?"

Luis showed a smug look again, and he patted Yolanda's shoulder and said, "Yolanda, it's getting late. You should go home with Brian. Although I'm your ex-boyfriend, I don't want to make you two unhappy. Thank you for coming to my birthday party. I like the car you gave me very much."

After saying that, he shook a brand new car key with a Mercedes-Benz logo in his hand.

When Luis said these words, he deliberately spoke slowly, and I could hear the boasting in his words.

I looked calm on the surface, but I was furious in my heart.

I had loved Yolanda for five years since we met in college. She was my wife, but now...

I tried to keep calm and dragged the drunk Yolanda up from the sofa. Then I walked out of the KTV and stuffed her into the passenger seat without speaking.

When I got home, the courtyard was filled with my father's relatives, friends, and business partners.

My father Sam Lopez and his many good friends came to my house specially to bless me and Yolanda, but they didn't expect that Yolanda wouldn't show up for a long time. I lied and told them that Yolanda wanted to dress up for this grand occasion, so she was late.

As I looked at Yolanda, who was slumped in the seat, I knew that everything was messed up.

I opened the passenger door and prepared to help Yolanda out, wanting to make an excuse to cover up the matter.

I forced a smile and explained to the people present, "Yolanda is happy today. She drank a lot at the party with her classmates and got a little drunk. Mary, please take Yolanda to rest..."

"I'm not drunk!"

Before I could finish my words, Yolanda pushed my hand away and interrupted me with slurred words.

"Brian, I was just celebrating Luis' birthday. Even though he's my ex, you can't hit him!"

Although Yolanda's words were unclear due to drunkenness, everyone was shocked.

Yolanda slumped in the passenger seat, unaware of the situation she was in or what she had said.

When everyone present heard what Yolanda said, they were all shocked and then began to whisper.

I raised my head awkwardly and saw Sam's angry face. Helplessly, I had to ask Mary to take Yolanda to the bedroom to rest.

Sam had been in the business industry for decades to achieve his current success and status. He valued his dignity very much. Now that something like this had happened, both Sam and I lost face in front of his friends.

Sam was old and in poor health. I was afraid that he might get too emotional, so I prepared to comfort him.

"Dad... Please don't be angry..."

Before I could finish my words, Sam's body shook, and he suddenly loosened his hand on the cane. Then he staggered and fell to the ground, holding his chest.

Everyone present was shocked and surrounded Sam. I rushed over to support him and shouted hysterically, "Call an ambulance!"

I met Yolanda in college. The first time I met her was in the school library. One day I wanted to borrow Robert Musil's book "The Man Without Qualities". The librarian looked it up and told me the shelf where the book was located.

When I walked to the bookshelf, a girl in a white dress was holding that book. This book was unpopular, and I never thought that someone would be looking for it today.

I thought she might just be reading it casually, so I picked up a book and casually flipped through it while waiting for her to put it back on the shelf. But I didn't expect that she would read it for more than two hours.

Feeling a little anxious, I kept stealing glances at this beautiful girl, and for a moment I even forgot that I was there to borrow the book.

She seemed to notice my gaze, and suddenly, she closed the book, staring at me warily like a frightened kitten.

I knew I might have offended her, so I smiled and pointed at the book in her hand, explaining, "I also want to read this book. I was in a hurry last time and forgot to borrow the book."

When the girl heard what I said, she looked surprised and smiled. "You also like this book? What a coincidence!

"Here you are. I just finished reading."

I took the book with a smile, but my eyes were still on the girl's innocent and lovely face.

I took the initiative to add Yolanda on WhatsApp. Since we shared the same interests, our communication was very natural, like old friends who had known each other for many years. We discussed the various issues expressed in the book, such as rationality and soul, scientific belief, and cultural pessimism.

We soon became close friends, and I gradually developed a crush on her.

I carefully planned my pursuit and showed my affection again and again, but Yolanda was always hesitant and silent.

I knew all this was because of Luis, Yolanda's ex-boyfriend.

She told me before that Luis was her first love. They met through her best friend Lily. After they had been together for one year, she found out that Luis had slept with a girl from the same department, and they broke up.

I knew that the emotional trauma left by her first love was difficult to make up for. Yolanda told me that she was afraid of being hurt again, and I promised her that I could wait.

I could accompany her to let her truly accept me.

I pursued her for two years, and finally, on the day of graduation, Yolanda agreed to be my girlfriend.

That day was the happiest day of my life.
