A Hundred Chances Is Enough, Right? Chapter 10
Tiffany said it so casually, like it didn't mean anything. But I knew Cedric's temper. He must've fought her over it. And after that, he probably left. That was when she probably came crawling back to me.I gave a quiet laugh. "So that's why you're here, Tiffany. Because he's not coming back?"Tiffany shook her head in panic. "That's not it. I'm here because I love you. I told him those things because I love you. I don't want to hurt you anymore. "Matthew, I love you. I'm in love with you..."Words of love always sounded beautiful. If this were before, I might have forgiven her again. But this was the 100th, and I had no forgiveness left.Even if she meant it, so what? I gave her a hundred chances."I don't want your love anymore, Tiffany. Just because you love me doesn't mean I owe you anything in return," I said.At that, Tiffany's tears finally fell. She gave me many firsts that day—her first time looking disheveled, her first time crying. But none of it moved me."Matthew.

"She told me we could see it too, but I know she did it for you. I didn't want to come. But then again... she only did all that because she knew you'd like it. So in the end, I brought you anyway."Blake kept talking.I knew she was doing all of it for me. Maybe it started with love at first sight, or maybe that short conversation from the other night left an impression on her.But seeing her so nervous, rambling at the end without daring to meet my eyes, I realized I couldn't blame her.She hadn't done anything wrong. She was just a little jealous.Blake clearly wrestled with herself before she finally looked up, eyes shimmering with tears. With a face like hers, even tears looked like poetry. Her eyes were practically made for holding emotion."That person in the rabbit costume was definitely her. If you leave now, you can still catch her," Blake said.I stared at her so long she started to tremble. Even as she told me to go to Tiffany, deep down, I knew she didn't mean it.S

"You're the one who said this place was too empty to keep open. I figured I might as well earn some side cash."The bartender shrugged, took away the glass of cocktail and replaced it with a tall glass of lemonade.The singer had just finished a song and started a foreign ballad I didn't recognize. The melody was gentle and calming. I listened quietly, letting it fill the silence.While I watched the singer on stage, the bartender, at some point, was quietly watching me.…The next morning, the bartender showed up right on time at my homestay. I asked how she even knew which place I was staying at. She just said, "People usually pick this place."The car she drove clearly wasn't a rental. It was hers.I paid her a generous fee and told her to take me around and make it worth my while.She said, "My name is Blake Thompson. Maybe we are friends now?""That sounds like a boy's name," I said without thinking. But the second it left my mouth, I realized it might've been a little

Finally, as I scanned my boarding pass and stepped through the gate, Tiffany called out to me. "Matthew, is there really no chance for us anymore?"I didn't stop walking. That silence was the clearest answer I could give her.The flight from Cloudridge to Newford was just three hours.I had never been to Newford before. It was colder than I imagined.I arrived at the homestay I had booked weeks ago. It wasn't anything luxurious. I didn't want a five-star hotel. I just wanted something that felt alive.Newford didn't disappoint me. The woman who ran the place greeted me warmly at the door. "You're a lot later than expected. Did something happen?"I shook my head. "It's all taken care of now.""That's good. You're new around here. If anything goes wrong, just find me. I'll help you out."I nodded and thanked her for her kindness. She asked if I had eaten. Then she recommended a few restaurants nearby, saying the food was great.Originally, I had come to Newford to start over.

"You should go back to Cedric. He waited for you all these years. Now that you finally belong to him, you two should be happy," I said.Tiffany paused for a moment. She ignored the mention of Cedric entirely. She only looked at me, confused. "Divorced? What do you mean? When did we get divorced?"I handed her my copy of the divorce decree. "Yours is at the mansion in the western suburbs."She took the document with trembling hands and began to shake her head, unable to believe what she was seeing. "Divorced? That can't be true... I never said I wanted a divorce!"Without even meaning to, I started laughing. It wasn't forced, and it wasn't cold. It just came out because what she said was genuinely laughable."You didn't need to say it. You showed it in everything you did. With a marriage like this, what would be the point of staying together?"Still, Tiffany kept shaking her head. The powerful Tiffany Scorsese had become someone entirely different, like a child in denial.She gra

At first, I thought I was mistaken. But after blinking and looking again, I was sure of it. Tiffany had really stopped her car right there on the highway.She opened the door and stepped out, walking straight toward me. She knocked on the cab window, mouthing words I couldn't hear. The soundproofing was too good.The driver looked over, puzzled. "Hey, do you want me to roll the window down so you can talk to her? It's dangerous out here."I shook my head. "No. Just ignore her."Tiffany knocked harder, her hands pounding the window again and again, but I never once glanced her way.The commotion finally came to an end when a police officer led her away. Only then, with the surrounding cars blocking the view, did I finally turn and look.Her expression was crystal clear.So she could be anxious about me after all.But I'd already given her a chance. She was the one who gave it up.The traffic cleared up quickly, and before long, we reached the airport. I arrived on time. What I
