Maggie’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Jeffrey had woken up.
Looking down, he clearly had his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, but he accurately caught her wrist.
I don’t know what I dreamed about, but I kept muttering in my mouth, “Don’t leave.”
Maggie couldn’t just leave him here like this, no matter what.
But his hand was clenched tightly, she couldn’t even easily make him let go.
So she leaned in close to Jeffrey’s ear and whispered, “I’m not leaving, can you let go first?”
Jeffrey’s body stiffened.
Then, as if hearing something, he hesitantly let go of his hand.
Maggie’s heart was pounding, she sighed, got up and went into the kitchen.
But I saw that the sticky notes she had put up in the kitchen were all still in their original places.
If the one in the wardrobe could still be considered a coincidence, the large number in front of us cannot be considered a coincidence.
Jeffrey didn’t tear a single one.
Maggie’s eyes gradually turned red.
She looked at Jeffrey lying on the sofa from a distance, not knowing what exactly she felt in her heart.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Jeffrey unconsciously furrowed his brow, startling Maggie, who quickly ran to his side and

answered the phone without even looking.
Hello?
She whispered.
Could you please speak more quietly? Jeffrey is still sleeping.
The words were spoken, and there was a moment of stillness across the table.
Then came a mocking cold snort.
Maggie then realized something was wrong, took out her phone and froze when she saw it.
Amber’s phone.
T
Maggie didn’t expect to receive her phone call at this time, and she remembered what she had just said, instantly feeling a flush on her cheeks.
I didn’t mean that…
“Maggie.”
Amber suddenly interrupted her, her tone flat.
Congratulations, you finally ended up with Jeffrey.
Maggie’s words all got stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say anything.
Amber didn’t care either, she said to herself, “The Facebook post from three years ago was fake, I photoshopped the picture.”
Maggie was taken aback, somewhat puzzled by why she suddenly said this.
- Amber then went on to mock herself, “Just for this, Jeffrey called me countless times last night. Is he so worried that you will misunderstand? I don’t think you like him that much`ei- ther. Now you come over and ask, isn’t it too late?”
The truth was so brutally exposed between them.
It was embarrassing and suffocating.

They used to hold hands and go to the bathroom together, take walks on the playground to- gether, gossip together, and watch movies together.
When did it start to change?
It was just when her attention started to shift towards Jeffrey.
The three of them became good friends, and everyone said Jeffrey and Amber were a perfect match, which made her feel inferior.
Especially after mustering up the courage to confess to Amber that she liked Jeffrey, the next day Amber appeared in front of her holding hands with Jeffrey.
She really felt like the sky was falling.
Before this, the relationship between Amber and Jeffrey was good, but it hadn’t reached the level of being able to fall in love.
Why did Amber fall in love with Jeffrey out of the blue?
Maggie thought to herself and then asked calmly.
She knew, perhaps this phone call was her last phone call with Amber.
Therefore, she wanted to unravel this eight–year–long mystery.
Amber was silent on the other end of the phone for half a minute.
With a sudden cold laugh, he then threw out a thunderous bombshell.
Because I was jealous of you, Maggie.
