Chapter 2035


Abner called out her name, yet he didn't understand its significance.

His unspoken crush was nipped in the bud before it could even blossom.

Lips pursed, he stared at Shirley without blinking.

Deep inside, a voice told him Shirley was being coerced, but her expression was far too composed, her gaze toward him had turned cold.

Perhaps, as she said, she truly realized he was a burden.

Tears instantly welled up in Abner's eyes as he wiped them away clumsily.

"Shirley, are you serious? You're really going to marry that guy?"

A sharp pain struck Shirley's heart, as if it was about to kill her.

She had once sworn to support her child through college, but now, she had to turn her words into a dagger and stab it right into his heart.

Abner's understanding of the world was not extensive enough; his focus had been solely on his studies since leaving the rural mountains, naive to the wickedness of people.

If the Albrights wanted to target him, he would be cornered with nowhere to turn.

"I'm serious, I love Mark. We're planning to get married next month. The SATS are in two months, so you don't need to come anymore. My parents don't like you either."

Abner was speechless, his tears continued to fall, but he refused to let Shirley see his misery.

Shirley was older, but she was the one he loved, and he wished to protect her like a champion.

However, it turns out, Shirley didn't need his protection, only seeing his presence as a harbinger of bad luck.
