She's just an acquaintance, moreover she's just someone whose barely a stranger to her.

She barely know her life, with just a name and a character, that's the only thing she knew.

She can't comment on her decisions.

Humans still judge, it's human nature, it's what we do.

Love.

It's always the root of the problem.

You will cheat on your spouse because you fell in love with someone, you would break someone's relationship because of love and you would do selfish things for your love ones.

It's all because of love.

I was like that too, forcing someone to marry me and that was a foolish and immature thing to do.

I went out and close the door quietly, I walk towards the class and my earlier thoughts vanished the moment the kids chair scraped on the floor and greeted her.

There's nothing I can do, I could even barely help myself, besides, it's their decision.

It has nothing to do with me.

...

For the past couple of days, I would notice the eye bags and place complexion of XueXue. She would always stare off space and sometimes she would look at her phone as if she's waiting for someone to call her.

I had never noticed it, mainly because I wasn't really observing the two of them. But there are instances that they have met eyes and in those moments, they reflect their true feelings for one another.

I still continued my work, the kids are now about to enter an art gallery and I'll be going with them.

My phone rang and I went to look at it and see A'liu's name on it.

"Yes, A'liu?"

"Caia! Are you free this weekend?" She ask, excitement laced in her tone while I smile at her obvious glee.

A'liu and Nai Nai's existence makes everything in this life of mine bearable.

"I am" The art trip is scheduled two weeks from now so I'm free this week.

"We're having a class reunion this weekend!"

Oh, I think I remember it now, I force a smile and replied. "Is that so? So... we'll go together then?" She responded with a shriek before I ended the call.

This weekend's class reunion is another important scene where the villainess would meet the two cheating pair and would wreak havoc at the reunion. As always, she would face her old classmate's eyes filled with pity and feel them mocking her.

I guess I'll be meeting our two main characters this week, how delightful.

Chapter 20 is up!

Whatcha think of her last words? Would something change or not? Well, just the feeling of someone looking at you, what more countless pair of eyes would undeniably make you feel uncomfortable.

Anyways, have a great day everyone! Stay safe and healthy!
