The Last Time I Loved Him (Autumn and Ryan) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 3

I tried even harder to be good to him. Whenever there was a disagreement between us, I would always lower my head without hesitation.

Because I knew that meeting Easton was my luck.

But I never expected that he was the one who had been the demon behind it all.

"Easton, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to get Amina, right? Now that you've got her, you've forgotten about me."

Suddenly, a familiar voice pulled my thoughts back. I looked through the crack in the door.

To my shock, Kaylee, the one who had cut ties with me, was sitting in my house, leaning on Easton's shoulder.

Easton seemed to thoroughly enjoy the worshipful look in Kaylee's eyes, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't it because you wanted to be with Easton, but he didn't want you? So, you decided to use Amina to do him a favor," said one of Easton's friends from the other end of the sofa, laughing loudly.

Kaylee wasn't angry. She stroked Easton's thigh with one hand, her eyes full of seduction.

"And now? Can Easton look at me now?"

Easton stared at Kaylee, but didn't speak.

I noticed his Adam's apple move as he swallowed.

At that moment, the ringtone of a phone broke the tension, its crisp melody echoing through the rainy night.

The people in the room panicked for a moment.

He knew how much I hated her.

Kaylee stood up and provocatively looped her arm through Easton's.

"Amina, it's been a while. You're doing pretty well, huh? After everything, you still managed to find such a good husband in Easton."

Kaylee used to be a well-known online celebrity, with a small but decent following. Recently, with the rise of newer influencers, she had faded into obscurity and became a has-been.

The events from five years ago felt like a nightmare that often haunted me at night. Kaylee, clearly, was trying to rub salt in my wounds.

Easton subtly shook off Kaylee's hand, his face showing some discomfort.

"Kaylee, you came here with Peter today, so I can't say much, but don't push your luck," Easton said, his words harsh but his tone showing no real anger.
