On my wife's birthday, she brought home the poor male student she had been sponsoring and invited him to celebrate with us. Then he turned around and threw the million-dollar necklace I had bought for her straight into the trash. “What even is this? A necklace this outdated should’ve been retired ages ago. Who picked it, some old-fashioned fossil?” For a moment, every friend and relative in the room stared in stunned silence. My wife, however, looked completely unfazed. Instead, she praised him for having a fresh eye and slipped on the cheap ring he had bought from a street stall. I watched it all without yelling, without making a scene. Then I picked up our marriage certificate and tossed it into the trash as well. “Good point. I guess an outdated husband like me should be retired too. Congratulations on your new marriage.”

After Letting Go of Love, I Got My Life Back Chapter 10
Only then did I slowly relax.Mr. Dawson asked about my situation, then about my ambitions and goals.It was not until the end that he finally revealed his true purpose.He smiled kindly.“Lily likes you. I can see that. As for me, I’ll be honest. At first, I didn’t think much of you.”My heart gave a sharp thud.Then he continued, “But now, I choose to trust my granddaughter’s judgment.”I could hardly contain the excitement in my chest. I had no idea how I had managed to earn his approval.But now, it really felt as though my life had taken one step straight into the clouds.We talked for a long while before I finally went back.When we returned home, Lily leaned against my chest and said softly, “From now on, no one is allowed to bully you.”A sour ache rose in my heart. I held her tightly, as if I were holding the barren pieces of my own soul.Thank God I had not missed her.Life had a strange way of circling back.Back when I was with Vanessa, I thought I had found the happiness o

He laughed, then mocked me again.“There’s nothing here for you. If you don’t leave soon, I’ll call security and have you thrown out.”His voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.For a moment, everyone froze.Then the way they looked at me changed.They could tell at a glance that the suit I was wearing was nothing special.Whispers spread through the crowd.“Who is this guy? How did he get into Mr. Dawson’s birthday banquet?”“Don’t tell me someone like him is here to compete for the project too.”“Who knows? How did someone that low-class even get let in?”Tyler was clearly enjoying himself. He raised an eyebrow at me and said, “Ethan, long time no see. Let me toast you.”Just then, Vanessa walked over too.The moment she saw me, a flicker of light flashed in her eyes.Then she put on a reserved expression and said, “Ethan, even if you followed me all the way here, I still won’t forgive you.”I was about to refuse, but Tyler had alr

Only then did Vanessa notice the extra place setting across from me.I pulled the dishes back and could not be bothered to respond.As if declaring his territory, Tyler ordered a plate of lobster. Then he softened his voice in an exaggerated way and said, “Vanessa, I want shrimp, but I don’t know how to peel it.”Vanessa naturally picked up a piece and began peeling it for him with practiced care.Watching how focused she looked, I suddenly remembered the time my stomach condition had flared up and I had taken one bite of shrimp from the table.Forget peeling shrimp for me. Vanessa had immediately flown into a rage.“You’re a grown man. How do you have no self-control at all? I made this shrimp especially for Tyler. He’s still young and still growing.”In the past, never mind peeling shrimp, she had never even served me food or filled a bowl of rice for me.When I came back to myself, Tyler was deliberately mocking me.“Ethan, you were married to Vanessa for so long. Don’t tell me she

“I bought Tyler new shoes that day, and you didn’t like the watch I gave you. So I bought these especially for you. Try them on and see if they fit.”I looked at her helplessly.“Vanessa, you do realize we have nothing to do with each other anymore, right?”She froze, then let out a soft laugh.“I know. You’re just angry with me for now. You loved me for so many years. How could you suddenly stop loving me? I don’t believe it.”For a moment, I did not know what to say.Once, I had been just as blindly devoted as she was acting now.We had loved each other for so long. We had even gotten married. So how had she been able to betray me with Tyler so easily?But that was the truth.Whether we believed it or not, it had happened.I pushed the shoes away.“I’m sorry. I don’t need them anymore.”Then I turned and went upstairs. Before I left, I looked back at her and said, “Sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. Dragging this out won’t do either of us any good.”For the next few days, I

Even when I walked out, Vanessa only frowned. She did not stop me.She still did not know that once I left this time, I would never come back.Two days later, I was dealing with the onboarding paperwork for my new position when Vanessa suddenly called.“Ethan, where are you right now? The property m

His clothes were pressed right up against Vanessa’s, intimate and close, as if they belonged to a married couple.Behind me, Vanessa had just opened her mouth when Tyler barged in first and said casually, “Those clothes of yours are basically rags anyway. They were just taking up space. Might as wel

When Vanessa saw me come back, she did not stop what she was doing. She only glanced at me and said, “I thought you weren’t coming home. Whatever. I won’t lecture you. There’s some takeout left. Heat it up yourself. Oh, and don’t touch the imported lobster on the table. That’s for Tyler.”I set my t

Vanessa’s face went stiff. She clearly had never expected those words to come from me.After all, in the past, whenever divorce came up, she was always the one who said it.I thought she would fly into a rage because of what I had said.Instead, she frowned, picked the ring out of the trash, wiped i
