The Burden of Happiness

520 Apartment.

"Susie, it's me, Chandler. I want to... hello? hello?"

Chandler walked in with the phone in his hand, but before he could finish speaking, the other party hung up.

Clearly, after their previous attempt at revenge failed, the other party simply gave up.

This kind of revenge is all about surprise. Once it's exposed, there's no need to continue investing energy, because no one will obediently accept revenge, let alone the kind of revenge she wants that is humiliating.

"She hung up."

Chandler said helplessly to everyone, "She never gives me a chance."

"This only further proves the necessity of your apology."

Adam laughed and said, "If you can't get through on the phone, just meet in person. As long as you sincerely want to apologize, I don't believe you can't do it. You can see this as a test."

"Test?"

Chandler hesitated.

"Right."

Adam reminded him, "You have only one goal, and that is to get her to forgive you."

There was one more thing he didn't say: Heal her, and heal yourself.

Adam was indifferent to the idea that believing in God meant forgiving everything, because that was completely contrary to human nature.

For example, in the original timeline, when Sheldon's mother and Leonard's mother met, Leonard's mother, Beverly, was a science believer. As soon as Sheldon's mother, Mary, mentioned God, she immediately started to mock her.

Leonard and the others separated the two women and comforted them individually.

Sheldon's mother, Mary, is a devout Christian, and she said, "As a Christian, of course I forgive Beverly."

Because a good believer should turn the other cheek after being slapped on the left.

Otherwise, as a good Texas, she should have shot Beverly dead.

Nothing should be taken to extremes, and forgiveness is no exception.

The grudge between Chandler and Susie falls within the scope of forgiveness, Adam believes that in the process of seeking Susie's forgiveness, Chandler will definitely be able to dispel some of the shadows of the past.

Shuren Zhou said: A good childhood heals a lifetime, while a bad childhood requires a lifetime to heal.

Chandler had Monica in the latter half of his life, a guaranteed healing card for the rest of his days.

Before that, Adam, as a friend and psychological mentor, took on the task of helping Chandler heal.

"Chandler, be a man!"

Monica chimed in, "People used to assume you were gay just by looking at you, now it's time to show your masculine side!"

"The only way is to take off your pants?"

Ross scoffed, "That really is the only way!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

Ross felt a little uncomfortable and shrugged, saying, "I was just joking."

"This is not the time for jokes!"

Monica retorted.

Ever since Adam mentioned why he treated Ross and Chandler differently, she was reminded of all the grievances she had suffered over the years. The completely different attitudes of the same parents made her want to switch parents with Ross —a heartfelt wish.

Everyone is now supporting and encouraging Chandler, but her prince Ross is making a fuss about his humor, which she finds particularly grating even though she knows it's a joke.

"OK, OK."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ross had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"I know what to do."

Chandler's gaze hardened, and he gave Adam a grateful look.

He was not a fool; he vaguely sensed what Adam hadn't said.

Adam was exceptionally kind to him, and he knew it, but he didn't think much of it.

Even among friends, there are varying degrees of closeness. Theoretically, there can only be one BFF among your friends, and that person is the perfect choice for the best man or maid of honor at your wedding.

Thinking about this, he felt a happy kind of trouble.

Joey was his roommate, and they spent every day together.

Ross was his college roommate, and the person he spent the most time with.

Adam was his good friend and treated him exceptionally well.

If he gets married in the future, who should be his best man?

So frustrating!

Adam had no idea that Chandler was experiencing a happy dilemma in the blink of an eye; otherwise, he would have told Chandler, "Don't worry about it, I don't care, I'm fine with anything."

The following evening.

Adam dressed up again and came to 520 Apartment to pick up Rachel to attend her ex-fiancé and former best friend's wedding.

Are you alright?

Seeing Ross looking at him sourly, Adam patted him on the shoulder.

"Of course there's a problem."

Ross quipped, "I'm Rachel's real boyfriend, I should be the one going to this kind of event."

"Why don't you talk to Rachel about it again?"

Adam laughed.

"..."

Ross paused.

How could he dare say that again? Otherwise, Rachel, who was on the verge of exploding with rage, might just break up with him.

He might not have been able to tolerate it with anyone else, but he still believed in Adam.

If Adam really had any ideas, he wouldn't have been involved in this situation long ago.

"How is it? How is it?"

Rachel, wearing the red bridesmaid dress sent by the bride Mindy, came out of the bedroom and asked nervously.

"It's beautiful."

Ross exclaimed dramatically, then turned to the others and mouthed, "Quickly tell her she's beautiful."

"Wow!"

"The most beautiful bridesmaid."

"Are you sure this is a bridesmaid dress and not the bride's dress?"

"Mindy is doomed. With such a beautiful bridesmaid like you, her radiance will be greatly diminished."

Everyone echoed in agreement.

Adam genuinely thought she was quite pretty.

Since clothes are worn on people, a person with good looks can look like a bride no matter what they wear, while a person with poor looks can look like a cosplay waitress even when wearing a custom-made wedding dress.

In the eyes of Ross and his fellow pure-blooded United States, Rachel's red bridesmaid dress was simply tacky and ugly, brimming with the bride's sinister malice.

Chandler muttered under his breath, "We don't have any sheep here."

That's what the shepherdess wore.

Adam was speechless. Even though he had been in this world for six or seven years, he still couldn't quite understand the aesthetics of United States.

"Monica, are you and Richard ready?"

Adam asked.

Barry Richard, as a community Ophthalmology Department, naturally knew the Barry Mindy and was invited to their wedding, with Monica attending as his bridesmaid.

However, since I wasn't a bridesmaid, my attire was much more casual.

"Alright."

"Alright."

Monica, holding Richard's hand, agreed in unison.

"Then let's go."

Adam suggested.

The four of them went downstairs together. Adam drove, Richard sat in the passenger seat, and Monica sat with Rachel in the back, heading towards the wedding venue.

"Rachel, don't be too nervous. With Adam as your 'boyfriend,' no one has the right to laugh at you."

Monica comforted her.

"I know, I'm not nervous."

Rachel said this insincerely.

"Aren't you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous at all."

"Then can you let go of my hand?"

Monica gritted her teeth and said.

"Oh! I'm sorry."

Rachel then realized what was happening and gripped Monica's hand so tightly that she hurt Monica.

Monica rolled her eyes and shook her hand forcefully.
