Used as "Practice" Then Kissed? I'm Done with Him!

Chapter 7

He was with a group of friends.

Claire was there too.

Ryan was carrying a woman's handbag in one hand, his other arm around Claire's waist.

They were walking at the back of the group.

From time to time Claire would turn her head to say something to him, and Ryan would always cooperate, patiently bending down to listen.

Not like with me.

Ryan had always been a head taller than me since we were kids, and he kept getting taller.

When I was with him, I always had to jump up and down and lift my head to talk to him.

It turns out he will lower his head for someone he truly cares about.

I took a deep breath.

Telling myself I must have some dignity.

Whatever he does has nothing to do with me anymore. If I keep overthinking, I'll slap myself.

But there seemed to be only one path to the departure gates.

I could only follow far behind them.

Finally, we reached a fork in the path.

Ryan seemed to be getting a bit distracted.

He made several phone calls that didn't go through, then fiddled with his phone for a while.

In the end, he borrowed a friend's phone and walked to a nearby restroom with a gloomy expression.

Not long after, my phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.

"Mia, you're really angry this time, huh? You won't reach out to me unless I contact you first?

"You even blocked me?

"If you have the guts, then just keep not contacting me. Let's see who will take care of you when you're all alone in an unfamiliar place in New York."

Ryan's tone was harsh as he berated me nonstop.

I didn't say anything. There was really no way to respond to that.

But Ryan seemed to get even angrier.

"I won't say much more. Hurry up and add me back on SnapChat.

"I'm about to go abroad with some friends for a couple days, so I might not be reachable by phone. Don't worry and cry."

I couldn't be bothered to say a single word to him.

I hung up the phone immediately and turned it off.

From a distance, I watched Ryan return to his group with a dark expression.

He angrily pulled Claire along, no longer hesitating, and headed straight for the left departure gate.

I sighed and turned to walk towards the right.
