Greg Costa and Jasper were from the same hometown.
They were childhood friends who had grown up together. They had been playmates when they were young.
Both of them graduated from the same high school in the town in their past and current lives. Jasper went on to study in university whereas Greg, who lost his father at a young age, gave up on his opportunity to attend university and started working. After that, they lost contact.
In Jasper’s past life, he had met Greg once after a long time.
At the time, he was dressed extravagantly and had a posh car. In the eyes of the people from their hometown, he was the epitome of success for those from their generation. However, Greg had told Jasper not to envy him back then as his life was worse than that of a dog.
Jasper, who had been buried in debt back then, did not understand what he meant. He was dressed in clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars and had a car that cost a few hundred thousand dollars. Nothing was bad about all of that.
What kind of dog could live a life like this?
However, Greg did not explain much, and Jasper did not ask him any questions either.
They had not seen each other since then, which was to say that their last meeting was a lifetime ago.
Jasper did not expect to bump into Greg in Brac County.
“Who was that just now?” Jasper asked.
Greg’s expression changed. “You saw everything?” he asked bitterly.
Jasper frowned as he looked at his childhood friend. “I heard that you got married. That woman is your wife, right?” he asked.
“Wife? Haha.” Greg chuckled. “Have you ever seen a wife who treats her husband like a dog? Have you ever seen a wife who scolds and hits her husband however she wishes? Well, that’s my wife,” he said.
