I knew these things truly hurt her.


    "To say that I''m just an essory is too ttering. The words those people said today were not wrong at all. I''m not even worthy of being his wife," she said with a chuckle.


    "Do you have to belittle yourself like that?" I looked at her, a bit frustrated.


    "This isn''t about belittling! I did have such thoughts before. I wanted to stay by his side because I assumed that when she was gone, I would be his partner. After all these years of mockery and ridicule, I consoled myself that it would all be worth it when I was officially recognized." She wiped her face, and I realized what she was saying was the most honest reflection of her soul. I could understand her.


    "In reality, I don''t love him that much. It''s just that I endured a lot for this one person, and it beca habit. I buried my desires and couldn''t escape..." She patted my leg andughed bitterly, but her tears flowed.


    Iforted her, "You''re not wrong. Anyone in your position will have thought the sway." "I also care about my reputation. The longer it went on, the more I believed everything would fall into ce. This madeeven more convinced that everything was real.


    "So, I naively thought, his hwill be mine, and his family will be mine too." Her voice echoed in the spacious living room, carrying a faint resonance.

    "Everything was supposed to be like this. So I went to see her kindly and shamelessly. I waited for her to settle things. Haha, was I too naive to fight against someone facing death? Am I foolish?" She suddenly sat up, then shook her head andy back down. "I don''t think I''m foolish, but I must be so kind that I becstupid." I reached for the bottle of liquor and took a big gulp. I wanted to share in Lauren''s pain.


    "But that one sentence, one action, shattered all my dreams. All of them!" She waved her hand. "I suddenly realized how shameless I was!" She wiped her face again, then sat up and looked at me. "Hey, Chlo, that p from Oliver was too harsh. It hurts!" "Stop thinking about these unhappy things, okay?" I looked at her, feeling helpless.


    I knew this statement sounded feeble.


    "But what they said today, although harsh, is the truth. I thought е everyone would gradually forget aboutby escaping this ce of heartbreak. Forget about the woman who was always around Oliver."  At this moment, I couldn''t even find the right words to console her.


    et "But I was wrong. They won''t forget, since they''ve been waiting for this day. They were watching my performance, wondering how this  would end. Finally, they see this intriguing ending! All I can do is ept it. What reason do have to argue with them?"  Lauren questionedwhile holding out her hands.


    I had no words.
