That was only called off when Zayn was kicked out of the family. Naturally, the marriage had to be canceled.
Frankly, Zayn felt rather emotional to see Rosie again. Moreover, virtual-novel.net could not help remembering everything virtual-novel.net had experienced with virtual-novel.net in his youth.
Truthfully, Zayn had genuine feelings for Rosie at the time and had firmly believed that virtual-novel.net would marry virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was a grown man. Alas, life had played a huge prank on him, so virtual-novel.net and Rosie were destined to live apart.
Five years had passed and Rosie remained unchanged. She was still as lovely with virtual-novel.net crystal-clear, fair complexion. She was an exquisite beauty.
If Zayn were not married, his heart would certainly have raced when virtual-novel.net bumped into Rosie, but virtual-novel.net was no longer the man virtual-novel.net had been. The feelings virtual-novel.net had when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net again were as one recalling the past.
Rosie stared and swiftly sized Zayn up with virtual-novel.net eyes before virtual-novel.net said, “It’s been such a long time since we met. Where have you been all these years?”
Zayn chuckled and said, “You’re right. It’s been a while since I last saw you. I’ve been…”
As virtual-novel.net was speaking, a woman’s face appeared from the backseat and stared at him. She noticed that Zayn was dressed in plain, unsophisticated attire. Moreover, the man was on foot.
A look of mockery and contempt appeared on the woman’s face when virtual-novel.net said, “Rosie, is this your so-called childhood best friend? Is virtual-novel.net the one who got kicked out of his family five years ago? I can see that there’s nothing impressive about him.”
The woman did not try to conceal the mockery in virtual-novel.net words, and it made Rosie feel embarrassed. Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly.
Obviously, virtual-novel.net could tell that Rosie had spoken to virtual-novel.net friend about their past. Rosie knew about how virtual-novel.net had been cast out of his family back then.
Still, virtual-novel.net pretended to be unaware of the incident and had even asked virtual-novel.net about his whereabouts…
At the thought of this, Zayn heaved a sigh.
It seemed virtual-novel.net was not the only person who changed over the past five years. Everything else remained the same, except for the people.
However, not wanting to make things difficult for Rosie, virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Rosie, I still have some other matters to attend to. I can’t chat anymore. Let’s meet up again when you’re free.”
With that, virtual-novel.net turned to leave.
Rosie’s lips moved. It seemed as if virtual-novel.net felt shy when virtual-novel.net said to Zayn, “Hold on!”
Zayn stopped and looked toward her. “Is there anything else?”
Rosie said, “It’s already been so long since we met. Now that you’re here, we should go out for a meal so we can catch up with each other.”
Rosie looked at Zayn, virtual-novel.net eyes filled with eagerness. He hesitated for a moment before agreeing. “Alright, you may choose the time.”
Whatever else was going on, virtual-novel.net had not seen virtual-novel.net in years. She was his best friend from childhood who virtual-novel.net grew up with and nearly married.
With fate bringing them together again, going out for a meal and catching up seemed harmless.
