"You embarrassed me first." I dropped a sentence and left the private room without looking back.
Behind me, Asher kicked over the trash can by his feet.
Jenny approached with a wine glass and said heartlessly: "Asher, why are you angry on such a happy day? I'll drink with you."
Asher downed the wine in one gulp, then sent me a message: "Come back, I'll clear your shopping cart for you, okay?"
Asher had never lacked money, and he was always generous.
Before, whenever we quarreled, he would buy buy buy until I calmed down.
He thought this time, he could coax me with the same old tricks.
But this time, I was serious.
I could barely accept him verbal flirting with Jenny.
But a three-minute kiss, I couldn't forgive no matter what.
I coldly refused: "No."
Asher frowned and lost patience: "Chloe, I said it was just a game, there's a limit to throwing a tantrum."
My chest felt tight and uncomfortable, I didn't want to reply to him anymore.
I called a cab by the roadside, and my phone popped up countless messages.
Opening it, it turned out to be nine shirtless photos from Hayden.
Hayden is my neighbor-brother.
Three years ago, my family moved to the villa next to his.
We both raised cats, mine is named Mochi, his is named Dumpling.
Mochi and Dumpling often visited each other's houses.
We added each other on WeChat because of this, to make it easier to find the cats.
In the photo, Hayden lifted his shirt, taking a mirror selfie in the gym.
His abs were distinct blocks, and the veins on his V-line could even be seen spreading downwards...
I opened the nine shirtless photos and looked at them one by one carefully.
I sighed inwardly, Hayden's abs were really well-trained.
If only Asher had half his self-discipline.
I wouldn't haven't even touched a man's abs until now.
Just as I wanted to reply to him, he sent a message first: [Sorry, sent wrong.]
