And he was 18 years old ten years ago.

How did they manage to hide the truth and pretend to be strangers under my nose for so many years?

I always felt that it was my luck to meet Marvin.

He was a deputy chief physician with a bright future. He was only 30 years old and had the qualifications to be promoted to chief physician. He was 185 cm tall and his appearance was so good that patients could post videos of him on the Internet.

Such a perfect man fell in love with me and pursued me madly.

At first, I had a strong sense of unreality.

But I was soon convinced by the sense of security he brought.

There was no woman around him and his life was a straight line, except for the hospital and home.

There was no password on his mobile phone, I could check it at will.

He would never forget the sense of ceremony for all festivals.

On the night when he confessed to me, he prepared a car of roses, which was the ultimate romance.

He pursued me for two years and no matter how I refused, he would never give up.

My friends only envied me. “Yolanda, you must have saved the universe in your previous life!”

I was from a single-parent family. I didn’t want to step into the grave of marriage, but because of him, I mustered up the courage.

I thought I could get rid of the influence of my original family and reverse the statement that “marriage is a grave.”

Unexpectedly, a love song made me suddenly realize that one of my feet had already stepped into the grave.

I sat back on the sofa in the KTV in a panic. My friends urged me to sing a song. In the chaos and noise, I refused, but my eyes were fixed on the mobile phone on the table.

It was Marvin’s mobile phone.

Although his mobile phone had no password and although he once said that I could look at it at will, in three years of love, I never checked his mobile phone once.

I didn’t know where the confidence came from, I was almost blind to him.

But at this moment, I couldn’t hold back any longer and picked up his mobile phone like a thief.

I began to quickly look through his WhatsApp.

In the chat history between him and Fiona, there were only some New Year’s greetings, nothing unusual.

And all the social platforms were completely normal.

Just when I was full of doubts and wanted to put my phone back on the table, Marvin’s Apple Pay account suddenly reminded me that there was a deposit information.

In a panic, I accidentally clicked it and this extremely unintentional action completely solved all my doubts.

It turned out that for so many years, the two of them had been chatting in the transfer interface of Apple Pay!

I was so shocked that I was sweating all over and I kept scrolling up the chat history with my eyes wide open.

Transfer 13140: [Fiona, Happy New Year! I haven’t seen you for nearly half a year. I miss you.]

Transfer 5200: [Fiona, did you eat cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Do you remember the cakes we made together in school in the second year of high school? I made some more today and sent them to you, remember to check.]

I remembered that time.

Marvin, who never cooked, suddenly made cakes.

I just took a bite out of curiosity and he said coldly, “This is what the hospital requires for patients to eat.”

I pouted. “It’s not something precious, why do you care?”

Marvin sighed and coaxed me patiently, “Okay, I’ll make it for you alone in the future, okay?”

But that incident was over and he never made cakes again.

Now I knew where the cakes were, it turned out to be my best friend.

I continued to scroll up without blinking and the more I read, the colder I felt.

Finally, when I saw Marvin’s first transfer message, cold sweat fell directly on my forehead on the phone screen.

Transfer 52,000: [Fiona, you don’t need to persuade me. Since I can’t protect you as a lover, let me protect you as a best friend and boyfriend! I can’t accept that I have nothing to do with you for the rest of my life. At least, after being with Yolanda, I can still have a chance to meet you. Also: I wish you a happy wedding and a long-lasting marriage.]

I was trembling all over.

The dense row of words turned into a group of black fog and I gradually couldn’t see clearly.

Yes, Fiona had a husband, a family marriage and there was no affection between them.

All the truth was in front of me and I had thoroughly sorted out the context.

It turned out that my so-called happiness was just a joke from beginning to end!

“Yolanda?”

The familiar voice brought me back to my thoughts.

Marvin came back and looked down at me, his expression gloomy under the light.

He asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing with my phone?”

I showed a calmness and composure I had never had before.

I quickly exited the Apple Pay interface, locked the screen, put the phone back on the table and said calmly, “My phone is out of battery. I’m borrowing yours to make a call.”

Marvin was half-believing and half-doubting.

I smiled and changed the subject. “Where have you been? So long?”

Marvin’s thoughts were scattered by me and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

He was busy making up stories. “I had a work call, so I went out to answer it.”

After he finished speaking, Fiona stood up suddenly. “Yolanda, my family is urging me, so I’ll leave first.”

She hugged me, with a faint scent of jasmine. “Happy wedding! Love you.”

I patted her back and asked, “Is he coming to pick you up?”

“No, I will take a taxi.” Fiona smiled bitterly. “You know, we are just getting married and there is no affection between us... How can he care so much about me?”

I noticed that Marvin’s eyes flashed with heartache.

He even took a step forward and took the initiative to say, “How about I…”

“How about you take Fiona home.” I interrupted Marvin’s words meaningfully.

Fiona’s expression was obviously frozen for a moment, but soon, she smiled softly, pinched my cheek and teased, “How can I accept that? Today is your couple’s single night!”

“Just take it.” I stood up, pinched Fiona’s hand and pushed her toward Marvin.

He took Fiona into his arms almost without hesitation. Although the two separated quickly, but the familiar body movements were difficult to conceal at all. I couldn’t help but laugh at myself, it turned out that they were so obvious! But I was so stupid that I didn’t notice it for three years and I was complacent that I got such a good man.

Fiona was a little awkward. “No need…”

I just smiled. “Okay, what’s wrong with a bestie’s man? Just use him.”

Fiona agreed awkwardly. I went home by myself. I turned on my phone and opened the dashcam software. Fiona and Marvin’s faces jumped into my eyes, so close that I could touch them with my hand. Even Marvin didn’t know, so I changed to the latest smart driving recorder, which could check the vehicle body condition on the mobile phone at any time.

It was no different from surveillance.

Fiona sat in the co-pilot, lowering her head slightly.

Along the way, the two were completely speechless.

Like complete strangers.

Until arriving at the destination, Fiona hurriedly thanked and went to open the car door.

But Marvin pressed her wrist all of a sudden.

His restrained voice sounded. “Fiona, between us… Is it really impossible anymore?”

He looked up eagerly, with uncontrollable hope and desire in his eyes. “Fiona, as long as you say a word, I can cancel tomorrow’s wedding for you!”

Fiona widened her eyes in shock. “How can it be? Yolanda will be hurt and all relatives and friends will laugh at you. Even if we are together, we will be criticized by thousands of people…”

“I don’t care! I don’t care at all, as long as I can be with you…”

Marvin hugged Fiona in his arms.

He held her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.

“Fiona, you know, I never care about other people’s opinions. I only want you.”

His deep eyes looked at her affectionately and finally, he could no longer hold back and kissed her on the lips.

After Fiona responded uncontrollably for a second, she suddenly woke up.

She pushed Marvin away. “No, no! Yolanda will be sad…”

Fiona pushed open the car door and almost fled.

My surging stomach could no longer hold on, so I finally threw away my phone, rushed into the bathroom and vomited violently.

At the end of the vomiting, only stomach acid was left.

I took out my phone and saved the video.

This marriage was definitely impossible to get going.

Fortunately, Marvin and I planned to get married first and then get the marriage certificate, so there was not much involvement between him and me.

It was just that he owed me emotionally and he must pay it back!

Since he wanted to elope with Fiona, I would help him at the wedding...

Marvin came back two hours later, at two in the morning.

There were only six hours left before he came to pick up the bride.

When he saw me, a barely perceptible flash of impatience flashed across his face. “You haven’t slept yet?”

“Yes.” I pretended to be excited and stepped forward to grab his arm.

But Marvin subconsciously retracted his hand.

We both froze at the same time.

Marvin reacted and hurriedly explained, “I haven’t taken a shower yet. It’s a little dirty.”

He hurried to the bathroom.

My nose tip was very sensitive to the smell of jasmine.

I couldn’t help but whispered, “When did you start using perfume?”

Marvin’s movements paused again.

He turned his head and looked at me, as if complaining. “Didn’t you ask me to take your bestie home? Maybe it was her smell that got on me.”

“Really?” I flipped through the album and handed it to him casually. “Do you know what I just found?”

“What?” Marvin asked me patiently.

“Don’t you have to put up a memory album for your wedding tomorrow? I found your high school graduation photo!”

I pointed excitedly to the corner of the first row.

“Look who this is? Fiona!”

At that moment, Marvin’s face lost all color and his body was shaky.

I smiled innocently. “You are actually old classmates? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Marvin, who was always calm and composed, finally showed a rare panic on his face.

He quickly grabbed the photo back and the sharp edge of the photo cut a long wound on my palm.

He ignored me and just explained, “Really? I don’t remember it. At that time, I was only focused on studying. How could I care about which female classmates were in the class?”

I raised my eyebrows and smiled. “No wonder you were able to get into medical school. It turns out that you spent all your time on studying.”
