My friends immediately turned their gaze to me.
They parted their lips, but due to our past friendship, none of them spoke.
I raised my eyelids and stared expressionlessly at Evander for a few seconds.
After a long silence, I tilted my head and asked, "Evander, do you remember what you said to me last year?"
Yvonne immediately gripped his shirt anxiously:
"Evander, do you still have promises with her?"
"It's nothing, just some insignificant little things," Evander said without any sign of recalling.
He turned his head and said in disgust, "Don't try to play the emotional trick with me. I might have promised you something before, but back then, I didn't know you were such a vicious person."
Evander did indeed fit the characteristics of a typical male lead from a novel.
He was handsome, gentle and loving toward the female lead, but sharp-tongued and cruel toward other women.
But suddenly, I remembered that before Yvonne appeared,
Evander once awkwardly told me, "Rosamund, although we don't share any feelings, our engagement has been set. I will respect you after we marry, and I promise I'll never do anything to embarrass you."
At that time, I couldn't help but laugh and asked, "How are you so sure we'll actually get married?"
He turned his head at my words, revealing a faint blush at the tips of his ears:
"We were betrothed from childhood. Since then, I've only ever thought of you as my wife. Besides, you're exceptional, a perfect match for me. Together, we'd be unstoppable. I'll never treat you poorly."
The memory of that earnest young man contrasted sharply with the cold and disdainful look he gave me now.
I shook my arm free and responded indifferently, "Fine, I'll drop out of school. But, Evander Kingswell, you'll regret this."
He sneered dismissively. "Naïve."
Without even glancing at the books scattered on the ground, I turned and walked out.
Perhaps because I'd agreed so readily, Evander lifted his head and gave me a few unreadable glances. It seemed like he was about to call out to me.
But before he could.
Yvonne tugged at his hand and sighed, "Evander, Rosamund has everything. Why does she have to hate me? I only have you, yet she's still trying to take you away from me."
Evander snapped out of it, gently patting her hand with a look full of concern.
"She's just jealous," he said.
