Chapter 2

"You…"

Just as I opened my mouth, the phone rang again. This time, it was Liam's.

He pulled out his phone, looking flustered, his gaze wavered between his phone and me for a few seconds, then he gritted his teeth and chose to hang up.

I glimpsed the caller ID – 'Baby.'

Ha! How ironic!

I never checked his phone. Perhaps it was precisely because of my trust in him that he was so reckless.

"When did this happen?" I couldn't help but ask.

"About… half a year ago."

Liam hung his head, looking a bit unnatural.

No wonder, in the past six months, he contributed little to our joint account, but his expenses were huge.

I thought it was due to the tough economy and was afraid of pressuring him, so I didn't dare ask too many questions, only constantly dipped into my own pocket to satisfy his various demands.

Turns out, he was using money to support another woman…

I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists, and secretly warned myself: *Don't get angry, don't get angry! Cassidy, your best life is yet to come!*

My phone rang again. It was the same number. She was getting impatient.

I sneered, and answered. Instantly, Chloe's enraged voice echoed through the entire room.

"Cassidy! Have you no shame?! Liam has already broken up with you, and you're still clinging to him! Let me tell you clearly! There's no way for you two anymore! We're both women, I advise you to let go soon, don't make yourself so pathetic!"

Liam couldn't listen anymore; he snatched my phone and hung up.

I couldn't help but cry.

Liam's face was flustered, and he dared not look at me.

"I'm leaving. From now on, take care of yourself."

After saying that, he picked up his already packed suitcase and walked away without looking back.
