Kade came out of the courier company.

He felt the outdated phone in his pocket with joy.

Just now, he got his salary. This month's hard work was worth it.

The money wasn't not much. It was just 1,000 dollars.

But he had a part-time job as a tutor.

"Hey! Kade!"

Kade turned around and saw that it was Chad Hammond.

"We got our salaries. Let's go have some kebabs and beer tonight."

Chad grinned and patted Kade on the shoulder.

"My treat!"

"I don't have time."

Kade raised his head and glanced at Chad, who was much taller than him.

"I have other things to do." He changed his words.

"You're just going to tutor a child! What's with taking a day off? Look how skinny you are. Come with me for something delicious to nourish yourself."

"Let's make it another day when I am available."

Kade rubbed his nose.

He turned around and walked out.

He knew what Chad was thinking, but he didn't want to accept any help from him.

Favor...

It was always a hard thing to settle.

Tinkle.

It was a Line notification.

Kade took out his phone. It was a Line message from Lorelai Krueger.

She was his fiancée.

"Darling, did you get the salaries today? I have to pay the tuition fee tomorrow."

Kade smiled and sent her a message. "How much?"

"Not much, 450 dollars."

Lorelai attached a smiley face to the message.

Kade couldn't help but frown. He replied, "That much?"

"It's not expensive at all. You don't know this, but I have to study several subjects at the same time."

She indeed needed money for studying. Kade didn't think much about it. He transferred the money and sent Lorelai a sentence. "Today is the weekend. My mother asked you to come to my place for dinner."

"Maybe next time. I'll stay in school. I'm going to study soon. Honey, I love you, mwah!"

...

His days were bitter, but Kade still felt satisfied.

Kade was left by his biological parents by the roadside when he was just one month old. His adoptive father, Brogan Pearson, picked him up and brought him home.

When Kade was in Grade 1, a comrade-in-arms of Brogan came to visit them with his daughter.

After the meal, they settled the engagement.

When he was in Grade 12, Lorelai's father failed in his business, and Brogan offered to help Lorelai's family.

Brogan made a living transporting material to construction sites. At that time, Kade's family was doing well. His mother was in good health and they could afford to pay for Lorelai's tuition fees.

In Brogan's words, they were a family because Lorelai was chosen to be his daughter-in-law.

After Brogan died in a car accident due to overload, the sponsorship did not stop. Kade shouldered the expenses.

However, as Lorelai was in her third year in college, Kade felt a little powerless.

"It's okay. I still have time. At worse, I will have to find another part-time job."

Kade comforted himself while unlocking his e-bike. He rode on it and headed to the hospital.

After going to the hospital to get the medicine, he went to the bookstore and bought a few exercise books.

When he passed by a mall, Kade stopped and remembered that he hadn't bought new clothes for his younger sister for a long time.

He thought about it.

Every month, he needed to pay about 300 dollars for his adoptive mother's medical expenses, 150 dollars for rental and power bills, and 150 for living expenses.

And he saved the remaining money for his sister's education.

Well, he wasn't penniless right now.

After thinking about it, Kade got off the e-bike, locked it, and walked into the mall.

The third floor of the mall was the clothing section.

He could not afford branded clothes. He knew his limits.

His goal was to buy clothes with deep discounts.

He walked around.

Kade spent 75 dollars on three sets of clothes that were pleasing to the eye.

He also bought a blue dress with flower patterns.

At the thought of his sister seeing the new clothes he bought after he returned home, Kade had a smile on his tired face.

However...

He walked out of the shop and was about to leave.

He saw a familiar figure that should not be here.

He stopped.

Wasn't that Lorelai? Didn't she say that she had to study?

Kade was stunned. He subconsciously hid behind the door. When the person turned around, Kade confirmed that it was Lorelai.

He looked up and immediately gasped. She went into a store selling expensive clothes! One would have to pay hundreds of dollars for clothes there.

Not long ago, Kade brought his sister to this store.

Looking at the price, they just sighed.

In the end, they went to grab some cheap pasta.

"How does she have the money to buy this?"

He saw that Lorelai bought three clothes in one go before leaving.

Kade felt a little depressed.

He thought about it and walked in.

He found the waiter who chose the clothes for Lorelai and asked him the price. After the discount, the total price was 450 dollars.

Kade suddenly felt suffocated.

He followed Lorelai out of the mall. Lorelai stood by the roadside and made a phone call.

In less than five minutes, a noisy sound of an engine seemed to blow up the street.

A red Ferrari slowly drove over.

It stopped in front of Lorelai.

Rumble!

Kade's mind went blank.

He rushed over.

"Lorelai!"

The young man driving the Ferrari frowned.

"Who is he?"

"Xander, he is my cousin."

Lorelai froze and immediately replied with a sweet smile, "Wait a minute. I'll be back soon."

After that, Lorelai walked over and pulled Kade away.

"Don't get me wrong..." Lorelai looked a little flustered.

"I saw everything."

Kade pursed his lips. His face was deathly pale as if all his blood was drained in an instant.

But he was willing to wait for Lorelai to give him a reasonable explanation. He did not want to believe what he saw.

After a moment of silence, Lorelai stopped hiding things.

Her face turned cold.

"Let's break up."

"Why?"

"Don't be so childish. Don't tell me you don't know."

Lorelai flew into a rage out of humiliation, but she was afraid that Xander would hear her emotional voice, so her voice softened a lot. "Kade, I am a college student. After my graduation, my mother wants me to study abroad, so do you understand it? We are from different worlds!"

For some reason, after saying this, Lorelai felt quite happy, but she thought it was necessary to remind Kade.

"Accept the reality, okay? We are different. You are just a delivery boy."

She felt that she was kind enough to remind Kade.

A poor guy couldn't marry a perfect girl.

If Kade could accept this earlier, he could let go of his sadness sooner.

She showed him all her care and couldn't be blamed.

After all, when Kade's adoptive father was alive, he had a good relationship with her father. As for the tuition fees that the Pearson family had sponsored in the past few years...

The Pearson family volunteered to pay for it and her family never asked for it. Moreover, Lorelai was not humble enough to sell herself for money.

She didn't agree that Kade could take advantage of her after she graduated just because the Pearson family sponsored her.

As a modern woman, how could she accept a marriage that was decided in her childhood?

This was just absurd.

"That's all. He doesn't know our relationship. Do you understand what I mean?"

"It turns out that you have always looked down on me."

Kade's voice was shaking.

Lorelai ignored him and turned around. She sweetly called Xander and sat in the Ferrari.

Vroom!

The Ferrari drove away.

And his fiancée went with it.

Kade stood rooted to the ground, trying hard to accept this cruel reality.

After a long time, his phone rang.

Kade took out his phone and pressed the answer button.

"Who is that?"

"Grandson, I am your grandfather!" Such a sentence was spoken as soon as the call connected.

...

Everyone would be stunned by such a call.

Following that...

Kade felt both humiliation and anger.

Damn call!

The call was like the straw that broke the camel's back.

Kade exploded.

"Fuck you! You old fart is my grandson!"

He smashed his phone into pieces and left with his e-bike.

Kade did not know that the call was not a prank.

Instead, it was from an old man wearing traditional clothes and holding a gold-rimmed redwood walking stick.

At this time, the old man was sitting in a magnificent hall.

He was sitting on a valuable sofa made of rhino skin.

He was astonished.
