During that brief silence, Leonel lit another cigarette and blew a few puffs. The entire time, his eyes were fixed on her. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I... I won't make a fuss about the past few years."

It took all his pride to utter these words.

Three years ago, he was engaged to Alexis, but in the past few years, she had been with Calvin day and night. He felt as though Alexis had betrayed him. He couldn't bring himself to imagine whether Alexis and Calvin had sex and how many times they had done it. The mere thought of it made him want to explode.

But in the end, Leonel chose to compromise. He wouldn't make a fuss about the past three years, for her sake.

They shared a solemn silence for a long time.
