Our So-Called Breakup Chapter 08

Our So-Called Breakup Chapter 08

I set my phone down and opened the door.

It was the first time I’d ever seen him look so dead serious.

He sat down in the chair next to my bed, staring at me without even blinking.

“Liv, what exactly is your relationship with Vincent?”

So, I hadn’t misheard him downstairs earlier.

He really had seen us.

His tone was so stern it killed any urge I had to play dumb.

Left with no way out, I admitted, “We’re dating.”

His face said he saw it coming, but he still reacted like he’d been slapped.

“I don’t approve of you two dating!”

He was being completely unreasonable today.

“You aren’t the one dating him. Nobody asked for your approval.”

Kenneth just stopped. Suddenly, huge tears started streaming down his face.

-Hroze, completely stunned.

What was going on with him?

What had I even said to upset him that much?

We’d traded way harsher words in the past, and I had never, ever seen him cry.

He sobbed for a solid minute before finally wiping his face.

“Vincent isn’t a good guy. He’s disgusting and sick. You shouldn’t trust him so easily.”

The more he talked, the more lost I got.

“How exactly is he disgusting and sick?”

Kenneth stammered for a bit, totally unable to get a single word out.

He wanted to tell me that Vincent liked married women.

But for one thing, he didn’t have any proof.

After all, I was the only “married woman” he’d ever actually seen Vincent with.

For another, he still didn’t have the guts to admit that he’d used me as an excuse to get time off work.

Looking even more miserable, he resorted to just making things up.

“Vincent is a cheater and a player. He just messes with people’s feelings. He’s completely unreliable.”

>He kept crying the whole time he talked.

Judging by the way he was acting, one would think he was the one who’d just been cheated on.

Choking back his tears, he warned me, “Liv, you have to stay away from him.”

I gave him a hard, complicated look.

“How do you know so much about his private love life?”

Kenneth’s face went rigid, and he completely shut down again.

He always did this.

The second he was faced with a tough question, he just clammed up.

A messy cocktail of emotions washed over me.

That nagging feeling that something was off-which had been eating at me ever since I saw Vincent again six months ago-finally clicked into place.

No wonder he’d dragged himself all the way out here the second Kenneth got back.

No wonder Kenneth knew him.

No wonder Vincent suddenly had so many new tricks when it came to

sex.

My thoughts were absolute static. Kenneth and I just stared at each other in dead silence for what felt like forever.

-Finally. Het out a heavy sigh and patted his shoulder.

“While you’re home on break,” I told him earnestly, “you need to practice your Kegel exercises.”

Kenneth looked utterly baffled.
