I was even more anxious when I realized how serious Natalie was about her relationship. This was her first love. The first time a person fell in love was always the deepest. I wondered what would happen if she knew that John was having an affair with another woman.

“Well, don’t think about it. If your relationship reaches a certain level, he will definitely take you home to see his parents.”

Although I knew full well that John had no intention of spending the rest of his life with Natalie, I did not want to say anything that would make her feel worse seeing how sad she already was.

Hearing my words, Natalie’s mood improved. I continued to console her for some time before she went back to her room to rest.

When I returned to my room, thinking of what Natalie told me tonight, I felt a little anxious. I wondered if I should tell her about the intimate call between John and another woman I had overheard before.

After struggling for a night, I finally decided to figure out what was going on first. How did John feel about Natalie and if he ever thought about spending the rest of his life with her.

If he was playing with Natalie’s feelings, I would not let him go unpunished.

I had already given John a chance before but he did not cherish it. Natalie was my best friend. I could not just watch her get hurt.

The next morning, while Natalie was taking her bath, I retrieved John’s number from her mobile phone.

I waited until Natalie went to work. Then, I called John’s number on my mobile.

“Hello, who is this?”

John’s voice from the other end of the line sounded sluggish. I guessed he was still in bed.
