He said that a woman appeared around his friend in their photography circle before.
At the beginning, she pretended to be very gentle and considerate, and be very interested in photography. Because she had common topics with his friend, they soon established a relationship.
But what’s strange was that after that, his friend’s relationship with his wife became worse and worse. Until one
day, his wife even died in an accident while she was out filming.
Just when he was heartbroken, the woman took advantage of the opportunity to marry him successfully. And
then got away from him with a large sum of money.
“The woman with you looks so familiar. They seem to be the same woman.”
Hearing that, John suddenly fell silent. He lowered his head, as if recalling what had happened before.
There was a sudden knock on the door and two policemen came in.
“We received a report that the deceased was bitten by a non–local venomous snake. We suspect that this is a
murder case. If you have any clues or think of anything, please call us.”
Listening to the police’s words, John nodded woodenly.
He quickly packed up his things, turned around and walked out the door.
“Where are you going?” Lucy raised her head and looked at John in confusion.
“Do what I should do.” John left without looking back.
My soul followed John back home.
I saw him crying, touching every place in the house where we had been, and slowly coming to my dressing table.
John knew that I had always had the habit of keeping a diary.
He opened my diary with ease.
“August 2022—Today, John proposed to me. He looked so handsome when he knelt down.”
“January 2023—I’ve waited a long time for today. From today on, we are a family. Love you, husband. Hahaha.”
“June 2023—My mother kept saying that she wanted us to have a baby sooner. I wanted, too, but John didn’t
seem to have that idea. Alas, how should I tell him the idea? Alas, so shy.”
