Chapter 108

Yvonne had been getting more and more spoiled by Sally lately. As soon as she got in the car, she snuggled up in my arms, wanting me to hold her while she fell asleep.

Jared kept glancing at me from the side, and I had no idea what was going through his mind. But he must’ve noticed that not only was I cold to him, but my feelings for Yvonne had changed too.

As the car headed home, we passed a street, and I caught Jared deliberately glancing at a shop not far away, his lips pressed into a thin, tight line.

Upon noticing that little gesture, a wave of bitterness and old memories hit me.

Jared loved the cupcakes from that place. I used to always stop on purpose to buy him a pack, so he’d have them to eat when he got home at night.

But this time, as we drove by, I didn’t even bring it up. He probably felt let down.

Heh, scumbag. Don’t expect me to ever be nice to you again,‘ I thought.

Yvonne fell asleep not long after, and Jared murmured in a wistful tone, “When are you going to buy me some cupcakes?”

I was lowering my head to check Yvonne’s hair, damp with sweat, when I suddenly heard Jared ask that, with a hint of childishness in his voice.

“If you want them, go buy them yourself,” I answered flatly.

“I don’t want to wait in line,” Jared replied, sounding a bit sulky.
