00:00I spent $20,000 on semifinal tickets to the world's biggest football tournament, but she took another man instead.
00:08I waited almost 3 hours at the airport when she finally called.
00:12Sorry Evan, I forgot to tell you.
00:14Hayden wanted to see the tournament.
00:16He was so excited last night he couldn't sleep, so I changed us to an earlier flight.
00:21We just landed in Dalton City.
00:22You can fly over by yourself, right?
00:24The three of us can meet at the stadium tomorrow.
00:26I took two full weeks off just to watch that tournament match with her.
00:29We were supposed to take our engagement photos in Dalton City too, downtown, outside the stadium.
00:34She promised me all of it, but with one casual, we left early.
00:38She left me alone at the airport.
00:40I looked down at the envelope in my hand.
00:42Two semifinal tickets, the booking for the photo studio.
00:46I had planned everything myself.
00:48No.
00:48What?
00:49You two go ahead, Monahead.
00:50I'm not coming.
00:51The next day, I saw Hayden's new Instagram post.
00:54He had posted a photo with a player from the football tournament.
00:57Evelyn stood beside him, her chest almost brushing his shoulder.
01:01The location tag read, VIP Lounge Stadium.
01:04Thanks to Evelyn, I got this photo.
01:06She always shows up for me when it matters most.
01:08I stared at the picture for a while.
01:10Then I liked it.
01:11After that, I called our wedding planner and cancelled the wedding set for two weeks later.
01:15She never missed a single moment that mattered to him.
01:18But she missed mine.
01:19I did not want this relationship anymore.
01:22Not when I had to beg, just to matter.
01:24Three days before the wedding, Evelyn finally returned to New York with Hayden.
01:28She brought gifts for everyone in the Shaw family.
01:31Everyone, except me.
01:33Hayden excitedly showed off the souvenirs he had brought back from Dalton City.
01:37Evelyn picked these cuffclubs out for me herself.
01:39She said they suited me.
01:41Very me, apparently.
01:42And this watch?
01:43Evelyn bought it too.
01:44She saw it and said it would look great on me.
01:46Oh, and this!
01:47An autographed photo from my favorite player!
01:50Evelyn went through so much trouble to get me this picture.
01:53Without her, I probably never would have had the chance to take a photo with him in my life.
01:58His smug smile barely hidden.
02:00What about Evan?
02:01Didn't you bring anything back for him?
02:04Evan's never liked that kind of stuff.
02:06Even if I bought him something, he might not like it.
02:08No need to waste the money.
02:10I let out a small, bitter laugh.
02:11So, buying me a gift was a waste of money.
02:16That's true.
02:17Evan has always been mature, considerative.
02:20He wouldn't care about things like that.
02:22But Hayden's loved this stuff ever since he was little.
02:24Ever since we were kids, my family had always said I was the sensible one, so I should take
02:29care of Hayden.
02:30They said Hayden was younger, that he had lost his parents too early, that it was hard enough
02:35that he had been taken in by our family.
02:37So, anything I loved should go to him.
02:39My brand new toys went to Hayden.
02:42My favorite limited edition bookmark went to Hayden.
02:45Even the cat I had raised for years was given to Hayden.
02:48I used to think Evelyn, my fiancé, would stand on my side.
02:53But somewhere along the way, I didn't know when, her heart started moving toward Hayden
02:57too.
02:58Everyone in the living room was laughing and talking.
03:01I looked like the only person who didn't belong.
03:03I held it in for as long as I could.
03:05Finally, I cut through the noise.
03:07Evelyn, about the wedding in three days, I think maybe we don't need to go through
03:11with it.
03:15Evelyn, I cut my hand.
03:17Hayden's cry drowned me out completely.
03:19A tiny charm in his suitcase had nicked his finger.
03:22Blood quickly welled up.
03:24She rushed to get the first aid kit.
03:26My father hurried to press down on Hayden's wound, his face full of concern.
03:31Everyone gathered around Hayden.
03:32Someone cleaned the cut.
03:34Someone comforted him in a soft voice.
03:36And I stood there alone, like a stranger in my own home.
03:40A moment later, I left without a sound.
03:42A long time passed before Evelyn finally remembered to call me.
03:46Evan, why did you leave?
03:48What were you trying to say?
03:49What wedding?
03:51Evelyn, the wedding in three days.
03:54I don't want to have it anymore.
03:55Evelyn froze.
03:57For a second, it was like she hadn't understood me.
04:00What did you just say?
04:05Nothing.
04:06Evelyn clearly relaxed.
04:07Go take care of Hayden.
04:08He's hurt.
04:09Even her tone softened, with affection and a hint of helpless indulgence.
04:13Yeah, Hayden did get cut pretty badly.
04:16That little delicate flower is still crying.
04:19Were you trying to talk to me about the wedding?
04:21She sounded so at ease, so certain.
04:23Just let Hayden handle the arrangements.
04:26He's always been good at romantic surprises.
04:28He won't let you down.
04:29Before I could explain, she hung up.
04:31I stood there, with phone in my hand, listening to the cold, empty dial tone, and suddenly felt exhausted.
04:38Forget it.
04:39She would find out sooner or later, the wedding was already cancelled.
04:43That afternoon, my phone kept buzzing.
04:45Hayden posted a bunch of photos in the Shaw family group chat.
04:48In them, he was wearing my suit, standing close beside Evelyn in her white dress.
04:54That white dress was the one Evelyn had picked for our engagement shoot in Dalton City.
04:58And the custom black suit on Hayden.
05:01That was my wedding suit.
05:02Hayden tagged me in the chat.
05:04Evan?
05:04Evelyn was supposed to take engagement photos with you in Dalton City.
05:07Too bad you didn't come.
05:09The dress and suit were already there.
05:11It would have been a waste not to use them.
05:12So I wore your suit and took a few shots.
05:15Looks good, right?
05:18Uncle Robert said he looked like a movie star.
05:21Aunt Claire said he and Evelyn looked perfect together.
05:25Grandfather Shaw even sent a smiling emoji.
05:28Then Evelyn replied too.
05:31Looks good.
05:32Fits you really well.
05:33Evelyn seemed to have forgotten.
05:35That suit was made for me.
05:36She had designed it herself when she was 20.
05:39Back then, she held my hand.
05:41Her eyes full of light.
05:42And promised me.
05:43Evan?
05:44When we get married, this is what you'll wear?
05:46I'm going to make you a one of a kind wedding suit.
05:51I thought that promise was for me.
05:53Only me.
05:54But now, that suit was on Hayden.
05:57And she said it fit him well.
05:59A little later, Hayden tagged me again.
06:01Evan?
06:02You don't mind, do you?
06:10What was I supposed to say?
06:12Did I mind?
06:13Of course I did.
06:14But they said,
06:15I was the older brother.
06:17So I was supposed to give in.
06:19Give him my cat.
06:22Give him my wedding suit.
06:25Fine.
06:25I might as well give him my fiancé too.
06:28That afternoon, I returned to the Shaw family estate.
06:37I walked in.
06:38Evelyn was still there.
06:40And saw her holding two exquisite wedding favor boxes as she came toward me.
06:44Evan, Hayden already picked out the desserts and guest fates for the wedding.
06:48They're made by Maison de Moss.
06:51I tried them myself.
06:53They're actually really good.
06:57Well, do you like it?
06:58The cloying sweetness melted across my tongue.
07:01The next second, a rich nutty flavor surged up.
07:04I spat it out immediately.
07:09You don't like it?
07:11I stared at her.
07:12My throat was already tightening.
07:14Is there peanut in this?
07:20What's wrong with peanuts?
07:25I had a severe peanut allergy.
07:29In serious cases, it could send me into anaphylactic shock.
07:33And she had forgotten even that?
07:35I suddenly felt exhausted.
07:36I didn't want to argue with her anymore and went upstairs.
07:40Not long after, Evelyn pushed open my bedroom door.
07:48Hayden has a match he wants to watch in a few days.
07:51It happens to fall on the same day as our wedding.
07:55The wedding is canceled.
08:00No, that's not what I'm saying.
08:01It won't affect the wedding.
08:03I'll take him there first thing, and it won't interfere with our original plan.
08:07I promise I'll be there before the ceremony starts.
08:16Evelyn, is our wedding really less important to you than a soccer match?
08:21Tickets to the final are incredibly hard to get.
08:26I took a lot of effort to get them.
08:28Of course it matters.
08:34Oh.
08:36Evelyn, I think we should break up.
08:40Evelyn thought I was just sulking.
08:42She pulled an autographed photo from her bag.
08:45The signed photo you wanted, I got it for you.
08:48You really thought I came back with nothing for you?
08:51Well, happy now?
08:55No.
08:57Evelyn, it's not the player I like.
08:59She used to remember what I liked, what I hated, what I was allergic to.
09:04But somehow, little by little, she had forgotten it all.
09:08She started remembering what Hayden liked to eat, what Hayden liked to play, which player Hayden loved.
09:15Evan, what are you even mad about?
09:17Can't you be more like Hayden?
09:20No matter what I give him, he says he loves it.
09:23He's never this picky.
09:26If he's that perfect, then marry him.
09:32Evan!
09:32I have so much to deal with every day.
09:34How am I supposed to remember which player you like?
09:37Aren't they all the same?
09:39You're really fighting with me over something this small?
09:43They're not the same.
09:44Evelyn, I think my cut is infected.
09:47Can you take me to the hospital?
09:48Okay, I'm coming.
09:49I stood there, watching her leave.
09:51Only after a long time did I finish the words in my heart.
09:54They're not the same.
09:55The player I liked was not the same.
09:57Just like Hayden and I had never been the same.
10:05By the way, Hayden said the bride and groom should not see each other the day before the wedding.
10:09Starting tomorrow, I will not come see you.
10:11We will close it in three days.
10:13I looked at the screen and slowly lowered my eyes.
10:15We would not meet again.
10:17Evelyn, there is no future for us anymore.
10:19Three days later, I woke up early.
10:21The Shaw house was already empty.
10:23Evan, I am taking Hayden to the game first.
10:26He said, today is the final match and he cannot miss it.
10:30I already called a car for you.
10:31Go to the wedding venue first.
10:33I promise I will be there on time before the ceremony starts.
10:36Outside, two cars were parked in the driveway.
10:40A white sedan, a black SUV.
10:42The white sedan was the one she had called for me.
10:44The black SUV was the one I had arranged for myself.
10:48I went downstairs.
10:49Without looking back, I walked straight toward the black SUV.
10:54The person in the front passenger seat turned back and smiled at me.
10:58Well, I was not late, was I?
11:03No, you were not late.
11:06Evelyn, the promise you broke again and again.
11:09Someone else finally kept it for you.
11:12From today on, we will go our separate ways.
11:14You and I had no future anymore.
11:17At the stadium, Evelyn was distracted the entire time.
11:20The chairs in the stands rose higher and higher,
11:23but she could not feel even the slightest excitement.
11:25Every now and then, she lowered her head to check her phone.
11:28Even, Evelyn still had not replied to her messages.
11:31Had he arrived at the hotel yet?
11:33Today, she had canceled the first look at the last minute
11:36and only sent a driver to pick him up.
11:38She would not be angry, right?
11:40A sharp pulse beat between her brows.
11:43The uneasy feeling in her chest grew heavier and heavier.
11:47Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
11:55Evelyn, which ballroom is your wedding in?
11:57We are all here, but we can't find you.
11:59We can't even find the check-in table.
12:01I have something to handle right now.
12:03Evelyn should already go to the hotel.
12:04Call him.
12:05He will take you over.
12:06I'll be there later.
12:14Evelyn's phone is not going through at all.
12:26Evelyn, I just asked the hotel's banquet department.
12:31They said there is no wedding registered under your names today.
12:38By the time Evelyn arrived at the plaza,
12:40the hotel lobby was already packed.
12:43Relatives from the Shaw family,
12:45friends from the Hart family,
12:47and almost everyone from New York society received an invitation.
12:50They stood in small groups around the lobby,
12:52whispering among themselves.
12:54Which ballroom is my wedding in?
12:56The staff member looked troubled.
12:58Clearly, she had already explained this more than once.
13:01I'm sorry, Ms. Hart.
13:03We really can't find any wedding registered under your name and Mr. Shaw.
13:08How is that possible?
13:10Did you make a mistake?
13:12We booked the venue ages ago.
13:14We even confirmed it again two weeks ago.
13:15The wedding menu,
13:17the flowers,
13:18the band,
13:18the planner,
13:19everything was arranged.
13:20How can there be no wedding?
13:22The staff member hesitated,
13:23then lowered her head and checked the system again.
13:25Ms. Hart,
13:26the system does show a final confirmation record
13:29for today's wedding from two weeks ago,
13:32but the wedding was cancelled last week.
13:38Cancelled?
13:39Evelyn went still.
13:40For a second,
13:41she could not believe what she had just heard.
13:43Who cancelled it?
13:44The staff member glanced at the screen
13:46and stayed silent for two seconds.
13:48Mr. Evan Shaw.
13:49Evelyn froze completely.
13:51She clutched her phone,
13:53her fingertips turning colder by the second.
13:56Evan cancelled it?
13:57How is that possible?
13:58No one knew better than Evelyn
14:00how much Evan had looked forward to this wedding.
14:02They had been together for eight years.
14:04He had waited for this day for eight full years.
14:07He had chosen the wedding date himself,
14:09saying it was the best weekend
14:11closest to the anniversary of the day they met.
14:13He had confirmed every name on the guest list one by one.
14:16The gold lettering on the invitations,
14:18the white roses in the ballroom,
14:19even the song that would play
14:21when she walked down the aisle.
14:22He had chosen all of it with her.
14:24How could he suddenly cancel the wedding?
14:27Evelyn turned sharply and looked at Hayden.
14:29Hayden, did you know Evan cancelled the wedding?
14:33Have you not been helping
14:34with all the wedding arrangements?
14:36The wedding was cancelled.
14:38The hotel never told you?
14:39A flash of panic crossed Hayden's face.
14:43I had no idea.
14:44I was only helping with the outfits,
14:46the decor, and the wedding favors.
14:49Evan has always handled the hotel and ballroom himself.
14:53He never told me he was going to cancel the wedding.
14:56No, something was wrong.
14:58Very wrong.
14:59Evan was not that kind of person.
15:01Even if he really wanted to cancel the wedding,
15:04he would never do it without saying a word.
15:06Then, suddenly, a thought hit her.
15:09Her heart dropped.
15:10The moment that possibility appeared in her mind,
15:12Evelyn's face changed completely.
15:14She hurriedly pulled out her phone,
15:15her fingers trembling as she dialed my number.
15:20Evan has been sensible since he was little.
15:22He would not throw a tantrum over something like this.
15:25And he would never joke about the wedding.
15:27Something must have happened to him.
15:29When I reach him, I will ask him myself.
15:32Evan has always been study.
15:33He would never cancel the wedding without saying a word.
15:36Unless something happened to him.
15:40Or someone threatened him.
15:43Evelyn, we need to find Evan as soon as possible.
15:45The unease in Evelyn's chest grew heavy.
15:48She did not dare waste another second.
15:50She rushed back to the Shaw House at once.
15:53Evelyn did not find me at home.
15:56Mr. Evan has not been back for days.
15:59Evelyn's heart sank little by little.
16:04For my assistant to tell her
16:06that I had taken a long leave days ago.
16:09A long leave?
16:10Evelyn froze.
16:11That was exactly around the time
16:13of the final wedding confirmation.
16:15She forced herself to calm down,
16:17then went to all the places I usually visited.
16:20The coffee shop where I always sat,
16:22the indie bookstore I liked,
16:23and the corner deli we used to go to together.
16:26Even Bryant Park, where I went for walks
16:28whenever work became too stressful.
16:30She even checked the bench near Central Park
16:33where I sometimes sat alone in a daze.
16:35But there was nothing.
16:37She could not find me anywhere.
16:39Evelyn searched almost half the city,
16:41but she still found no trace of me.
16:44My phone stayed off.
16:45My messages went unanswered.
16:47My emails sank into silence.
16:49The more Evelyn thought about it,
16:51the more wrong it felt.
16:52I was never the kind of person
16:54who suddenly disappeared.
16:55No matter what happened before,
16:56my phone had never been off
16:57for more than two hours,
16:58and I would never leave her alone
17:00on our wedding day
17:00to face a lobby full of guests,
17:02questions, and humiliation.
17:05Unless...
17:05The moment that thought appeared,
17:07Evelyn's face went pale.
17:09She was so anxious she could barely sit still.
17:11Even her breathing grew rushed.
17:12Finally, after 10 o'clock that night,
17:14she could not wait any longer.
17:16She grabbed her coat
17:17and was about to go to the police station
17:18to report me missing.
17:19But just then,
17:21Hayden suddenly cried out.
17:22Evelyn!
17:23Evan!
17:24He just updated his Instagram!
17:26Evelyn's heart stopped for a second.
17:27She immediately snatched Hayden's phone.
17:30Then,
17:31she saw Evan's new Instagram post.
17:34Just a few words.
17:35Arrived safely.
17:37The location tag was overseas.
17:39It was the host city
17:41for this year's
17:41World Football Tournament final.
17:43Evelyn finally let out a breath.
17:45Thank God.
17:46He was okay.
17:48Before she could even wonder
17:49why Evan was abroad,
17:51Hayden had already gasped.
17:53Wait!
17:55Evan's location?
17:56Isn't that where
17:57this year's World Football Tournament final
17:59is being held?
18:02Evelyn.
18:03So Evan went abroad for the tournament?
18:05I knew it.
18:07He's still mad
18:08that we left the country
18:09without him last time.
18:10Evelyn looked at Hayden's
18:11wounded expression.
18:12This time,
18:13she did not feel
18:14the usual ache in her heart.
18:15Only a strange irritation.
18:17For once,
18:19she even felt
18:20Hayden was right.
18:21If Hayden had not
18:22insisted on leaving early
18:24with her last time,
18:25if they had not left
18:26Evan behind,
18:28Evan would not
18:29have been angry with her.
18:30Only then
18:31did Evelyn finally realize,
18:33over the years,
18:34she had ignored
18:35Evan far too many times.
18:36A thin thread of guilt
18:38slowly rose in her chest.
18:40Had Evan gone abroad alone?
18:42Would he be safe
18:43by himself
18:44in another country?
18:45Evelyn had to admit it.
18:47She cared about Evan
18:49more than she had thought.
18:50She quickly took out
18:51her phone
18:52and called Evan.
18:53This time,
18:54the call finally went through.
18:56She was just about to speak
18:57when a fresh,
18:58cheerful female voice
18:59came from the other end.
19:00Evan, come here.
19:02See if you like this spot.
19:04Evan?
19:06Who are you with?
19:09Workers.
19:10Co-workers?
19:12How many?
19:13Men or women?
19:14Are you two...
19:15I cut her off.
19:15If there is nothing else
19:16I am hanging up,
19:17my friends are calling me.
19:19Evan, wait!
19:20Listening to the dial tone,
19:21Evelyn froze in place.
19:23As soon as I hung up,
19:24was that your ex-fiance?
19:26She called to ask
19:27where you were, right?
19:28And who you were with?
19:30She is only worried
19:31about you now?
19:32Little late for that.
19:33I put my phone away
19:34and took the coffee from him.
19:36Ignore her.
19:37Fiona Bennett seemed
19:38to notice I was distracted.
19:40For the next week,
19:40the three of us
19:41are gonna have fun here.
19:42Enjoy yourself.
19:43Do not think about New York.
19:45Do not worry.
19:46I planned this trip properly.
19:47I promise you two
19:48will be happy with it.
19:50Yeah.
19:51Thank you.
19:52Mark and Fiona
19:53had put work aside
19:54to come abroad with me
19:55for the World League.
19:56I was truly grateful to them.
19:58They were my co-workers.
20:00They were not
20:00some affair partners.
20:04Mark and I
20:05worked in the same department.
20:06Fiona Bennett
20:06was the lead
20:07of our project team
20:08and everyone in the department
20:09knew her as a woman
20:10who got things done.
20:11When they found out
20:11I was going abroad
20:12with my fiancé
20:13to watch the World League,
20:14they were even more excited
20:16than I was.
20:16The day before
20:17I was supposed to leave,
20:18they kept reminding me
20:19to take more photos
20:20and videos for them.
20:21But the next day,
20:23after Mark heard
20:23the full story,
20:24he lost it.
20:25Is your fiancé insane?
20:27How does she not
20:28know her priorities?
20:29Who matters more,
20:30her fiancé
20:30or your adopted brother?
20:32I swear,
20:33you are not even
20:34in her heart.
20:35While Mark
20:36was still cursing
20:37under his breath,
20:38Fiona had already
20:39written up the leave forms
20:40and booked
20:40three flights overseas.
20:42Evan,
20:42if your fiancé
20:43will not go with you,
20:44we will.
20:45The three of us
20:46boarded a flight
20:47to Europe.
20:47The promise
20:48Evelyn never kept,
20:49Mark and Fiona
20:50kept for her.
20:51The matches
20:51I never got to see,
20:52Mark and Fiona
20:53watched with me.
20:54The cities
20:55I never explored.
20:56The food
20:56I never tried.
20:57The photos
20:58I never took.
20:59Mark and Fiona
21:00experienced all of it
21:01with me.
21:01Thank God.
21:03In this life,
21:04I was lucky enough
21:05to have them
21:05as my friends.
21:06as my friends.
