It had been a few months since Xavier and Lana began their relationship and lived together. They got along well in these few months and stuck close to each other most of the time. It all went well until she went to a gathering the day before. He could not go with her as he was a foreigner. Thus, he had no choice but to wait at home for her to return.
Unexpectedly, he happened to see her getting out of a man's car as he was smoking by the window. It would have been fine if it had stopped at that. After all, most women had male relatives or friends.
However, what happened next filled him with fury.
As Lana turned around to leave, the man suddenly hugged her from behind for nearly a minute. Lana even turned toward him and said something. Then, the man suddenly kissed her.
Rage surged within Xavier and he threw his cigarette into an ashtray before rushing downstairs. Lana came in when he arrived at the lobby, while the man was long gone.
Lana behaved as if nothing happened and held onto Xavier's arm affectionately when she saw him. At first, he wanted to wrench his arm from her and question her about what he saw. However, his rationality prevailed in the end. After all, there were many people in the lobby. It was not a suitable place to discuss their relationship matters.
He remained sullen as they walked toward their unit. Lana, being the observant person that she was, noticed it, but she waited until they entered their home before questioning him.
“What's wrong with you? What happened? Why do you look so sullen?" Lana thought Xavier was troubled by some matter. She did not suspect that she was the cause.
Xavier had lived for more than thirty years before he fell in love with Lana. She was the first woman he ever loved. Thus, she had an irreplaceable place in his heart. Since they became official, he had never considered breaking up with her. However, what he witnessed was too much of a blow, and he could not accept it.
He answered Lana immediately, “Lana, let's break up."
Since she stopped loving me anymore, we should break up.
Xavier managed to think things through in the short distance they traveled upstairs. Since Lana had fallen for another man, he believed they should break up. It was useless clinging to her.
“Break up? Why are we breaking up?’* Lana instantly turned pale. She looked at Xavier and for the first time ever, a furious expression descended upon her face. “Are you in love with another woman?’*
Looking at how livid she was, Xavier felt a stab in his heart. I didn't fall in love with another woman. It is you who have fallen for another man.
However, he did not want to embarrass her by revealing what he saw earlier. Thus, he said, “You can think whatever you like. Let's just break up and go our separate ways.’* After saying that, he turned around, walked out of their home, and closed the door.
“You a*shole! I hate you!'* Lana shouted.
Standing at the door, Xavier could hear Lana throwing a tantrum as she hurled items at the door and cursed at him furiously. Still, he only paused there for a while and left soon after. He then spent the whole night at a bar before leaving and going back to Harvey's place.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Harvey and his future wife. He felt envious upon seeing the baby bump on the woman's belly, for he wished to have a child with Lana as well. Unfortunately, their relationship had to come to an end. He could not help but shed a tear as the thought of Lana belonging to another man flashed through his mind.
Meanwhile, a phone suddenly rang in the quiet living room in Nightshire Manor in Chanaea.
