---- bad place right now. I don't want to have the wedding at atime like this. It'll trigger her." Nodding calmly, Angela replied, "I see." Carl was rather startled. "You're not going to make a fuss about it?" "Why should I?" "I thought you'd be upset about it. After all, we've been dating for over ten years now." Angela snorted inwardly. What a mockery it was, alright. They'd been in a relationship for over a decade now, and yet, he could call off the wedding for the sake of Lucy, a complete outsider and his so- called best friend's widow. Throughout all these years, Carl seemed to have grown accustomed to being the one who decided everything. As long as he made up his mind, Angela had no choice but to respect his decision and go along with it. She wasn't allowed to make any objections. All along, she compromised on things that didn't go ---- against her principles because she didn't want to argue with him. But this time, she wasn't going to tolerate it at all. "Is she feeling any better?" "She still needs someone to be with her at all times," Carl said. "When she's alone, she keeps having bad thoughts. It's best... if she has the child as soon as possible." "Fine. You should spend more time with her, then." "Looks like this argument of ours worked out for the best. You've become a lot more reasonable," Carl praised with a smile. But he was wrong. Angela didn't become more reasonable. She simply gained clarity. "T'm feeling lonely. Oh, I wish I'd find a lover that could hold me..." Carl's phone started ringing, and Angela was taken aback. It was strange to see someone like Carl, who was rather masculine in an old-fashioned kind of ---- way, using a popular love song as his ringtone. And when he answered the call, he spoke with a level of gentleness that Angela had never been on the receiving end of. "Lucy?" That explained everything. The ringtone was specifically set for Lucy. "What? Okay. I'll bring it over to you now." Once Carl got off the phone, he grabbed his car keys and began rushing out of the house. He was already at the door before it occurred to him to explain things to Angela. "Lucy left her clothes in my car. I'm taking it over to her now." "What kind of clothes?" Carl's expression became a little peculiar as he replied stammeringly, "I-It's just an ordinary piece of clothing. Anyway, I'm heading off now." Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
