As | invited him in and changed my shoes, | couldn't help but ask, "Were you able to find something about my
background?"
He paused for a moment, then smiled lightly. "How did you guess so quickly?"
"How did it go?"
| was eager to know. Although my parents had passed away many years ago, it was very important toto
know whether | was truly their child.
He walked over to the sofa, handeda file, and said helplessly, "Indeed, Bob was talking nonsense. Don't
dwell on this anymore. It would make your parents sad if they knew." Hearing this, | felt my heart settle and
began to flip through the file.
It contained my birth certificate, various medical records from childhood, blood type, date of birth...
Everything matched up.
With each thing | checked, my heart felt more at ease.
| was completely reassured. | was indeed my parents’ child, and their affection forwas never false.
"Thank you so much, Jack!"
| looked at Jack with gratitude. "Have you eaten? There are still sdishes in the fridge. | can..."

"I've already eaten. | had a social event in the evening, which is why I'm here so late."
He declined my offer and, pretending to be displeased, said, "But, have you noticed that you haven't kept your
promise?"
"Huh?"
| didn't quite understand.
He smiled. "Didn't you promisethat you wouldn't be so distant with me?"
"I'm sorry..."
It seemed | had becaccustomed to it.

Jack's dark eyes looked atseriously. "No need to apologize. Just change slowly. Whether we're friends or
something else, | don't want you to be so formal." "Okay," | agreed with a smile, but then was startled by the
faint tenderness in his gaze and quickly averted
my eyes.
Fortunately, he chose to end the conversation there. "It's getting late. I'll leave now."
| quickly got up. "I'll see you off."
As we walked towards the entrance, he suddenly asked, "What's it like when you're with Frank?"
| was puzzled. "With him?"

He scrutinized me. "I feel like you're different with him.
"Not really?"
| found it confusing. "He's just an ordinary friend."
Or rather, he might not even be considered a friend.
The son of the Smith family probably had more friends than he could count, and | was aware of my place.
After seeing Jack off, | collapsed onto my bed and opened Frank's social media. | easily found the photo of the
little rabbit.
It was posted three years ago, but he rarely posted, so it was easy to find.
There was no caption.
The pink, ugly rabbit piggy bank was placed next to his pillow, bathed in sunlight, giving a sense of peace and
tranquility. Just looking at the photo, I could tell how much he cherished it.
The more | thought about it, the deeper my guilt grew.

The next day, feeling too embarrassed to hitch a ride with him, | sent him a Whatmessage and took a taxi
to the office.
He didn't reply to my message.
Life suddenly becunusually calm.
| focused on designing the clothes for Madam Shaw and Madam Smith. Both were modern designs but
incorporated different elements according to their personalities and preferences.
The night before the engagement between Ryan and Bethany, | slept even better than | had imagined.
When | woke up, | felt as if | were going to work as usual.
Dressed casually in a white turtleneck sweater, light blue jeans, and flat knee-high boots, | grabbed my bag,
went downstairs, and got into Jane's car.
It wasn't until the car slowly stopped in front of the hotel that | belatedly realized.
| was attending my ex-husband's engagement party.
Attending the engagement party of the man | had mistakenly loved for many years.
No matter how composed | tried to be, seeing the names "Ryan & Bethany" side by side at the entrance of the
banquet hall still madefeel a pang of melancholy.
Jane glanced at the fairy-tale-like, dreamlike decor inside the banquet hall and remarked sarcastically," It's good
to have money. A second marriage is even more grand and ostentatious than a first one."
