The Last Time I Loved Him (Autumn and Ryan) novel Chapter 61

Chapter 2

Within two days, the tabloids caught Alex on a date in the park with a young girl. Rumor had it she was a college senior. To win her over, Alex was cooking her special meals, showering her with jewelry and dresses— a grand display of affection that had never been part of our relationship. She wore a pale pink dress, tall and slender, with a sharp chin and a classic oval face. Her smile was youthful, full of energy. And on her ring finger? The engagement ring I'd thought Alex had bought for me.

In our friend group chat, everyone tagged Alex.

[Mr. Carter, is this the new sister-in-law? Nice choice, still in college, huh?] [When are you introducing her to the crew?] Alex added her directly to the group, half-joking, half-doting.

[She's a bit shy, so don't scare her off, or you'll answer to me!] One guy, maybe out of concern for my presence in the chat, muttered quietly, [Mr. Carter, so you and Vivian really broke up?] Someone else replied immediately, [Don't ruin the vibe!] Alex stayed silent. It didn't matter anymore. I quietly left the group chat.
