The great mood I had vanished, and I couldn’t escape this strange feeling all afternoon. It felt like I got sucked into a black hole. Everything seemed calm on the surface, but I had no idea how many things were linked to me.

In the afternoon, I received another invitation, this time from Matthew. He was throwing a big celebration for his new baby, almost as if he wanted the entire city to know he had a son now.

He called me as soon as I got the invitation, his voice filled with pride.

“Chlo, you’ve seen the invitation, haven’t you? You’ve got to be there. After all, this is a big event for the Murphy family. I finally have a son, haha! And bring your daughter along!”

“Yeah, this could be a chance to combine it with your wedding for a double celebration,” I said.

“Haha! Chlo, thank you for the suggestion. Everything’s in the works. We’re having a grand wedding!” He was trying to provoke me.

I knew he was doing it on purpose. He felt invincible now, and taking a dig at me was easy
