Old Love Falls Apart

On the eve of the tenth anniversary, Irina Middleton, my wife, who had always been unromantic, suddenly suggested taking wedding photos again.

She said she wanted to make up for my regrets in my youth and my hard work over the years. But at the celebration, someone painted my photo with the word 'kept man'.

Her young assistant cried and tried to explain, "Adrien, I don't know how this happened. Maybe people just assume that the one who isn't loved is the kept man," he said. I saw the paint still on his hands and sneered as I smashed the wedding photo frame.
