Lily stared at the mocking smile on Alex's lips, and suddenly, a wave of regret washed over her. No matter what Alice had done to her, Alice had genuinely loved Alex.
Otherwise, why would a woman go so far as to pretend to be someone else just for a man…
Maybe Lily's feelings for Alex weren't as deep as Alice's...
"What do they call this online? Hypocrisy, right?" Alex said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"I'm sorry…"
"It's not your fault. Even if you hadn't exposed her that day, I would have found a way to break up with her. I'm a coward, aren't I?"
Lily didn't know what to say.
Since they were young, she had known that Alex wasn't as innocent as he appeared. He was an overly obsessive boy, but she never imagined he would toy with someone's emotions like this.
She had thought he loved Alice.
When you're lonely... do you need someone by your side?
