After I escaped the event’s clamor, I sat alone on a chair outside, looking up at the sky.
The sky was blue, and the clouds were beautiful today. It should make one feel incredibly joyful, but I could not seem to lift my spirits up.
"Why are you moping around all alone out here?"
It was a familiar voice.
I looked at the person walking over. "Why are you here, Tyler?"
"How could I miss out on such a sensational spectacle?"
Tyler's spirit seemed much better than the last time I met him. When I saw him, I suddenly thought of Sara and had no idea how to face him at the moment.
I did not respond to him, and he walked over to me and sat down as well.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable seeing Nicky standing with them?"
Tyler knew me too well. He was immediately able to see through my thoughts.
The expression on my face could not help but change slightly when he poked at my sore spot, but I quickly recovered and smiled. "It's not so much that I'm uncomfortable. I just think they’re too dazzling, and I'm nothing but mediocre."
Once I was done talking, I caught Tyler smirking out of the corner of my eye, but it was a silent sneer.
He placed his hands between his legs. As if having a heart-to-heart chat with me, he continued, "I still remember how high-spirited you looked three years ago, but it seems like you've fallen from grace now."
"Well, I am pregnant now, so I can’t work as hard as I did before."
I caressed my belly. I had lost a child before, and I could not lose another.
"You're right. It's just like how Sara's pregnant now. I can't let her go out to work as well."
When Tyler suddenly mentioned Sara, my calm state of mind was becoming chaotic.
"About Sara...” I suddenly could not recall what I wanted to ask him.
