What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger novel Chapter 115

"In fact, I liked you long before he did."

Henry's words made Calista steal a few extra glances his way.

Ken laughed bitterly. "No wonder. I always wondered how you managed to get your hands on so many unique gifts over the years. Music boxes, Louis Vuitton bags..." "They were all specially picked out for Calista, weren't they?"

Henry readily admitted it. "Yes, they were."

Ken felt like he was losing his mind.

He reached up, agonizingly tugging at his hair, his eyes vacant. Finally, he crumpled weakly to the floor.

His best friend had married the love of his life. Was this divine retribution?

But Ken wasn't one to surrender easily.

He emptied the contents of his bag onto the floor. "Calista, look. These are all the little gifts you made for me. They hold the precious memories of our time together."

Calista couldn't take it anymore. "Ken, enough! I don't have feelings for you anymore. Bringing this up now is pointless." "Back then, I was simply naive. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Ken was stunned.

He had brought up their history to remind Calista of the good times, not to elicit an apology.

Utterly defeated, Ken realized that no matter how hard he fought, it seemed futile. "I won't accept this. I won't accept you marrying him!"

Calista gave him a conflicted look. "I already discussed the marriage with Uncle Johnson. He knows, and he gave his blessing."
