"Yvan!" Josephine exclaimed in shock.
Did he even realize what he was saying?
Yvan let out a low chuckle. "Relax, Josephine. I know exactly what I can and can't say. I just wanted your address so I could check on you. I was worried you'd end up crying alone again, putting on the whole 'the world has wronged and abandoned me' act."
"You seriously need help!" Josephine snapped, furious.
Three years ago, when Yvan showed up in front of her with his girlfriend, she had been devastated.
Back then, in a moment of youthful impulsiveness, she had posted some overly dramatic messages on social media—hoping Yvan would notice and care.
But after a few days of posting, all she had received from him was a single comment:
"What's wrong? You sound like the whole world has wronged and abandoned you. I don't remember ever making you any promises."
That very comment shattered her.
Shortly after, she returned to her home country.
Feeling completely heartbroken, she had accepted her father's proposal for an arranged marriage.
And now, Yvan had the audacity to bring it up like it was some kind of joke?
Did he really think three years were enough to erase the pain?
Some wounds would never heal—especially when real feelings were involved.
Josephine didn't want to hear another word from Yvan again. Without hesitation, she hung up.
But right after the call ended, a message from Yvan popped up.
"Sorry, I got carried away. That joke was out of line. Can you tell me where you're staying?"
She ignored it.
But more messages followed—one after another.
"If you don't want to tell me, fine. I'll find out myself. But if I suddenly show up unannounced, you might get frightened. So, you might as well just tell me now."
