When I Broke Up With Him, He Regretted it Endlessly

Its been three days since the landslide accident, and Louis still hasnt thought of me.

Within a minute of commenting, my phone was called by Louis immediately.

Cathy, don't you have a conscience? Do you know what we've been through? Don't you even watch the news?

Is it fun for you to just be jealous every day? Michelle and I are lucky, but one of her dogs broke a bone and the other nearly had a miscarriage! You ignore everything and just put the blame on us. Are you crazy?

I know that the two dogs were fed together when they were in love, and after they broke up, the two dogs all belonged to Michelle.

In Louis's eyes, my life is even worse than a dog's.

He had witnessed with his own eyes how devastating it was when the explosions went off.

"Louis, my car is right in front of you, you..."

"That's enough! You were just a little frightened. Do you have to play the victim to gain sympathy?"

When the dog was whining, he hung up the phone impatiently and went to take care of it.

He was the one who didnt watch the news!

The victims of the accident suffered either broken bones or internal injuries.

Why did he think I was just frightened?

Perhaps, he wouldn't notice that even if I were died.

On the fifth day after the accident, I had three steel nails on my scapula and stayed in the hospital for another five days before the doctor agreed to let me go.

It was raining heavily. I had just had surgery and couldn't neither lift heavy objects nor cook. When I was worrying about what to order, Louis finally called me.

"Come home when you've calmed down. I'll buy groceries and cook dinner tonight."

The ten-day silent treatment broke our historical record.

In the past, Louis always acted superior, waiting for me to give in and break the ice.

I will be able to comfort myself in three days at most.

Because I love him so much, I am so humble that I am afraid that if I'm so pretentious, I will lose him forever.

This is the first time I ignored him for ten days and didnt go home.

I even thought that we had ended quietly.

"Don't bother, I'll just order takeout."

Louis was very unhappy and said impatiently, "Don't be so pretentious! Just wait for me at home."

In his eyes, this is probably a great gift to me.

He is good at cooking, but he seldom takes the initiative to cook for me. If he had said he would cook for me in the past, I'll feel moved and happy.

Unfortunately, when I survived the accident, I already felt that I was committing slow suicide by wasting my energy on love.

He thought of it as a great honor, but I just regarded it as our final farewell meal.

I did eat so much takeout in the hospital these few days. Louis is good at cooking, and I also dont want to hurt my stomach.

"OK."

After we discuss it, Louis hung up the phone immediately without saying anything more.

He cooked at least five or six dishes. So I simply ate some fruit for lunch and waited for him to come home and cook dinner.

But I waited until late at night and he didn't come back or even call me.

I was starving, so I ordered a takeout.

Because of the heavy rain, the takeaway took an hour to arrive.

I was eating takeout and opened my Moments out of habit.

The latest one is from Michelle.

The pictures all show that Louis taking care of the dog with a broken bone from different angles, with an incredibly gentle expression on his face.

The caption was: "It's hard to imagine how gentle he will be when we have children in the future!"

I was determined to break up.

Michelle was right. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Even God was on her side.

I didn't feel sad at all when I made this decision.

It turns out that the sky wont fall even if I no longer love someone.

Lying in bed after eating and drinking, there was still no messages from Louis.

I didn't question him, but calmly clicked on the message from my agent Vivian: [Cathy, the director asked me to confirm carefully that do you really want to give up this movie? This is a great opportunity for you to enter Hollywood. The overall shooting will last no more than two years, and you can let your fianc come to visit during this period!]

Since I was a child, I have dreamed of walking the red carpet on the screen, and winning an Oscar is my lifelong wish.

But Louis doesn't like me to show up in public, and he doesn't like me to take on any dramas with any sexual content. For this reason, many good roles were rejected by me, and over time, I finally faded out of the screen.

"Cathy, this is a precious opportunity! If you miss it, you may never be able to go to Hollywood in your life!"

"Although the heroine is disfigured, the whole play reflects her spirit, not her appearance! The director has already let someone make a scarred face that looks realistic. It can be said that he has put a lot of effort into it for you!"

Vivian tried to persuade me earnestly, and almost tied me up and took me in front of the director.

In the mirror, the scar on my face is particularly ugly.

"Okay, I'll take this movie."

Vivian jumped up excitedly, "My dear Cathy, you are finally willing to make a comeback. I will send you the script right now!"

"It's worth it that I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name every day to pray for you to change your mind. I will be a vegetarian for a year to fulfill my vow!"

"Cathy, I've already seen the scene when you're holding the Oscar statuette and smiling at me. It's so cool! Ahhhhh!"

After fading from the screen in the past two years, I just took small commercials at most and basically gave up filming completely. Vivian was so upset about this that she even wanted to kill Louis.

Louis didnt understand that in order to love him, I gave up my dreams, was willing to be his good wife, and regarded him as my whole world.

What he gave me in return was abandoning me in the midst of life and death.

Now, I should regroup and work hard to realize my dream. This is the world that I should pursue.

He broke his promise again today, so I just assumed we had broken up.

As soon as I woke up, I started to read the script.

It is worthy of being a Hollywood script. I was so absorbed in reading it that I forgot to eat and sleep, and was so addicted to the role of the heroine that I couldn't extricate myself.

So I didn't even notice when Louis came home and appeared behind me.

Cathy!

His sudden voice startled me.

"When did you come back?"

Thinking of the scar on my face, I became a little panicked. I tried my best to cover it up and didn't dare to look back at him.

"Are you planning to take on another role? No wonder you ignored my calls on purpose!"

Every time when I read the script, Louis's tone was unconsciously filled with contempt and anger.

In order to coax him, I humbly told him that I was just looking at it to satisfy my craving.

Besides, I never ignored his calls on purpose.

He always comes and goes at my beck and call, and answering my phone depends on his mood.

"Yeah, I'm busy as soon as I get up, so how can I have time to look at my phone?"

Every time he leaves me alone, doesn't answer my calls or reply to my messages on purpose, he uses this sentence to shut me up.

I put down my hands, took out my phone that was charging under the script and turned it on in front of him.

"See? I didn't mean to ignore it. It's just that the battery is out."

When I showed him my phone, I inadvertently revealed the bright red scar on my face.

"Why did you put on makeup like this? It's so scary!"

I laughed at myself, thinking he could see it!

"It's not makeup. I haven't got the technology yet."

Hearing the mockery in my tone, Louis moved closer to see it more clearly.

"Cathy, what's wrong with your face..."

"Didn't I tell you that my car is in front of you?"

Louis's face suddenly changed, and he tried to touch my scar with his trembling hands, but I moved away.

"Michelle and I thought you were at the back. We were the last car to fall. I thought you were okay..."

When he said the latter part, he was a little afraid to look at me.

He probably had no idea why I overtook him.

After all, he was busy flirting with Michelle, and with their heads next to each other closely, it was impossible for him to notice that I had overtaken him.

"I was already at the supermarket entrance yesterday, but the two dogs were traumatized by the accident and became severely stressed even at the slightest noise. Michelle couldn't handle it alone, so I broke my promise. You know that Michelle treats those two dogs as her own babies..."

I lifted my eyelids lightly, and Louis couldn't continue.

Don't mention that I can't compare to his first love, but even their two dogs. How ridiculous is that?

He touched his nose guiltily, knowing that it was inappropriate to compare me to dogs.

"No need to explain, I know you are their father."

I have always loved beauty and would never allow myself to have scars. Now half of my face is disfigured, but I am so calm.

The contrast in my attitude made Louis open his mouth slightly, and after a while he said, "Medical technology is very advanced now. I will ask someone to buy you some good scar removal cream. Then you can get some cosmetic surgery and it should be back to normal."

"Don't worry about it. I know what's going on."

Louis looked me over carefully, and after confirming that only my face was injured, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Cathy, why don't you know what's good for you? You should be thankful that you were only disfigured. So many people died in this accident, and many more are lying in the ICU with broken bones. I was just helping Michelle take care of dogs, and you're picking on me again, aren't you?"

"I appreciate your kindness. I know that you and Michelle are innocent. You are just the father of the two dogs, and Michelle is the mother."

"I understand that your relationship is limited to this, and we won't argue about that again."

After I finished speaking, his phone rang again.

The special ringtone is exclusive to Michelle.

I made a gesture of "go" to him: [It must be the dogs calling you, go for it!]

This was the first time I took the initiative to let him go towards Michelle. Louis answered the phone with great displeasure and slammed the door and left.

The aftershock of the door made my scapula ache faintly.

I faintly heard him scolding me for being a troublemaker again.

Oh, he is so difficult to please.

Its wrong to be jealous, and its also wrong not to be jealous. Anyway, no matter what I do, Im just being troublemaker.

In the evening, Louis asked me to go out for dinner.

Its really need to go to the breakup dinner.

As soon as I arrived at the private room, I heard the dog barking. I couldn't help but frown. Did he bring Michelle's dog with him?

It doesnt matter. Lets have the farewell dinner and part ways in peace.

As soon as I opened the door, a dog rushed towards me and barked at me.

Seeing the dog was about to bite my leg, I was so scared that I quickly stepped back and accidentally bumped into the waiter who was serving coffee from behind.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my scapula.

My face turned pale instantly, and I also had to avoid the barking dog.

Losing my patience, I picked up the cup and threw it at the dog.

Michelle suddenly screamed, "Cathy, what are you doing!"

Sure enough, the dog became more stressed out and bit my calf hard.

Fortunately, I was wearing long pants today and the dog was a small one, but how could it not hurt when its sharp teeth piercing through my jeans?

When the waiter was about to help me beat the dog, Louis finally came over, hugged the dog in his arms, and gently stroked it to comfort it, "Chicky, don't be afraid, Daddy is here!"

His blaming expression in his eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing my heart.

At that moment, my heart was broken.

"Come in, why are you standing at the door? Chicky won't bite anyone."

Louis was probably blind, he clearly saw the dog biting my leg.

My shoulder was hurting so much that I went into the private room and sat down with a pale face.

"There's no others here, Cathy, you don't have to cover yourself up so tightly. It's all because of your outfit that Chicky was scared and didn't recognize you."

Michelle just said a few words and blamed the dog bite all by me.

The dog seemed to understand her words and whimpered uneasily in Louis's arms.

Louis stroked the dog's head, extremely dissatisfied with my appearance. "Just take them off. Didn't you see Chicky is scared again?"

My heartache flashed away, and I revealed my face without any sadness or joy.

He knew very well why I dressed up like this.

Everyone loves beauty, and even more, I am a public figure. If I go around in public with a disfigured face, I'm afraid he will scold me for damaging the city's appearance.

After the pain in my shoulder eased, I tentatively raised my hands to take off my mask and hat.

Seeing the strange movement of my arm, Louis was puzzled.

"Cathy, why are you being so shy?"

I ignored him.

He didn't feel sorry for my disfigurement, so how could he care about the three nails on my scapula?

To speak it out would only bring shame upon oneself.

When Michelle saw my face clearly, she covered her mouth and gasped.

"Cathy, you are really disfigured!"

Through her fingers, I saw the corners of her mouth turned up.

It was really a smug smile.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of these two dogs were hurt. Otherwise, Louis would definitely think of you first."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Although it was tears of excitement, Louis thought she was feeling sad about my misfortune.

He held Chicky in one hand and took a tissue with the other hand to wipe Michelle's tears:

"It's not your or the dogs' fault. Cathy overtook the car and ran ahead without saying a word. She's lucky to be alive."

Michelle cried even harder. "Cathy is an actress. How can she compare with us? If she is disfigured, won't that mean she will ruin the rest of her life?"

She just wanted me to know that I was not worthy of competing with her for Louis because of my disfigurement.

Louis felt so distressed that he wanted to hug Michelle and comfort her, but because I was there, he did not cross the line.

Michelle cried for a while, but when she saw that I didn't even look at her, she stopped crying and looked at me with sympathy.

"Cathy, your face is injured like this, it must be very painful and hard to accept, right?"

Looking at her pitiful face, those who didn't know would think that it was she that had met with misfortune.

I really wanted to throw a cup of hot coffee on her face like I always did.

It would be best if her face was also burned and disfigured, so she would know how painful it is.

If she and Louis hadn't been flirting unscrupulously in front of me, I wouldn't have thought of overtaking to avoid seeing both of them.

After the ground collapsed, I called Louis for help for many times.

However, he was only concerned rescuing Michelle and the two dogs from the passenger seat.

For a moment, I saw Louis stop and look at me.

However, his attention was drawn to the dogs' shrill barking.

I saw everything with my own eyes that he hugged Michelle, and they each held a dog and quickly ran to a safe area to wait for rescue.

Explosions were going on everywhere, but he never thought of calling me.

When I thought I was going to die, the rescue team saved me in time.

Just after I was rescued, the place where my car was located collapsed again due to the explosion, and the car was crushed into a block of iron.

"How could it not hurt? Fortunately, I was rescued in time, otherwise I would have died on the spot."

I pointed at the car being salvaged in the news and sighed how lucky I was.

Following my hand, Louis saw clearly the license plate of the car on TV.

It's my license plate.

The car was as flat as it could be.

If I were in there, I would have become a meat pie as well.

He finally stopped touching the dog, and he stammered and apologized to me,

"Cathy, I'm sorry, I faintly heard you calling for help, I thought it was an illusion..."

He handed Chicky to Michelle,and changed his seat to sit next to me,but Michelle sat there first.

She squeezed in between us,as before.

"Cathy,I have a friend who specializes in medical aesthetics.If you get timely treatment,you will definitely be able to recover as before!"

As she spoke,she held the dog in her arms,waved its legs,and bowed to me to apologize,

"Cathy,I'm so sorry!Don't be discouraged.You are naturally beautiful.Even if you can't fully recover,it won't affect your temperament.I believe Louis is not a superficial person."

She's so good at sarcastic.

Didnt she see that Louis went around me in a circle just to avoid the disfigured left side of my face?

As she said that,she asked Louis to pour me a glass of drinks.

"Cheers to celebrate our survival!"

I didn't hold the glass.

Louis advised me gently,"You can drink without worry since I'm here today."

"The doctor said I can't drink during the recovery period."

So he didn't bother to care about me and clinked glasses with Michelle to celebrate.

Those who truly survived the disaster were completely forgotten by them.

When the exquisite dishes were placed on the table,Michelle stroked the dogs'head and said happily:

"Chicky,Judy,you really need to thank Dad.You can enjoy these bones today!"

I watched them divide the food into two plates,and each of them picked up a dog and started feeding it.

They looked just like a couple feeding their twin children together.

The family of four is warm and harmonious.

I was sitting at the dining table,but it seemed redundant.

Chicky was gnawing on a bone and even grinned at me with a smug smile.

This smile is exactly the same as Michelle's.

They were so focused on feeding the dog that they didn't notice that the dog was laughing at me.

Seeing me sitting there without eating,Louis showed impatience on his face.

"Cathy,why don't you eat?These are specially ordered for you by Louis.He said you like to eat meat."

"Are you still angry that we abandoned you?The situation was critical at the time.Chicky was pregnant and Judy had a broken bone.We really didn't mean to forget about you."

After finished speaking,she showed me the injured leg of Judy.

Judy also understood human nature very well.He even acted coquettishly towards Louis with tearful eyes.

Now,Louis looked at me with more dissatisfaction."Michelle has already helped you contact with her friends.You just need a few times of cosmetic procedure.I can pay for it.Why are you still being so arrogant?"

I touched the scar,feeling confused.Could it be that I was disfigured,so that when I had no expression on my face,it looks like I was arrogant?

I stood up with my bag."Thank you for your treat.But as an actor,I can't eat too much meat"

Louis looked embarrassed."I'm sorry,I'll order you something else."

"No,thank you,I've already ordered takeout."

Now,Louis's face was full of angry.

"I seldom have the patience to explain things to others,but I have already explained this to you several times.I admit that today's meal was my negligence.Don't be so pretentious any more!"

"Right,Cathy,both of Chicky and Judy know that they are wrong and they don't even dare to eat any more.Please forgive us."

"You did nothing wrong,so why should I forgive you?"

After that,I took off the wedding ring and handed it to Louis."I'll consider that I've already had this farewell dinner.I wish you happiness."
