"Elva..."

Hearing Luis' voice, she paused. He then said, "You were once my everything! But I began to get sick of our relationship as the time went by! I thought about marrying you, but I just couldn't decide."

Elva lifted her head and drew a deep breath.

She took a cup of coffee from the shop assistant and approached Luis... and furiously splashed the coffee on him!

Then Elva scoffed. "How can you be so shameless, Luis?"

Coffee splashed across Luis' face.

He was known for his short temper, yet it was his infidelity that had provoked Elva. He gazed at her, anger simmering, but he restrained himself from retaliating. Instead, he grasped her hand and pulled her towards the parking lot.

“Luis, let go of me! Are you not worried that your little girlfriend will be upset?"

At that, Luis pushed her into the backseat of the car, sat next to her and then locked the doors. He pulled out a tissue to clean his face and grumbled, "Don't call her that. She has a name. And she's a decent person!"

Elva was not afraid of him.

She reclined in the seat and scoffed, "Does a decent person secretly get involved with someone else's man? Luis, don't pretend you started seeing her after we ended things! Your messages show you met her months ago."

He didn't deny it. But he pointed out, "I haven't slept with her, at least."

Elva scoffed again. "Oh, how ‘noble’ of you! But spare me the details. It's irrelevant to me when you plan to sleep with her! Don't expect me to forgive you. If you're tired of me, you could've broken up with me sooner. But cheating on me? You make me sick!"

In that moment, Luis felt no remorse.

He genuinely cared for Holley.

However, he and Elva had shared many light-hearted moments as well in the past. Over the past two years they were together, they had rarely fought. Elva could be hot-headed but was adept at reading him and avoided causing drama, especially when he was stressed, and he seldom upset her on purpose just to “spice things up." Perhaps it was the lack of challenges in their relationship that left him feeling unfulfilled.

After discarding the tissue, Luis faced Elva and said earnestly, “If you're still angry, you can hit me or-"

Before he could finish, she slapped him.

She scolded him, "Scumbag! You son of a bitch!"

Complex emotions flickered in his eyes, but he didn't react angrily.
