Chapter 4

작가: Frostveil
Florence knew how to turn things around, making it seem like I was the one causing a scene.

“May your love be as fragile as these flowers,” she said.

I threw the fresh-cut bouquet she had given me not long ago at her feet.

The blooms had already begun to wither, petals scattering across the floor, just like the love between us.

She froze, and I didn’t look at her again.

Before I stepped out the door, I heard Florence grit her teeth and hiss a threat behind me.

“You’ll regret leaving me!”

I ignored her and walked away as I dragged my suitcase.

I rented a small apartment on the outskirts of the city.

It wasn’t as spacious as Florence’s large residence, but it gave me a sense of security.

And there was no one under the same roof forcing me to bow my head in humility.

For a while, things went smoothly.

But finding work proved difficult, and every resume I sent seemed to vanish into thin air.

I came from a single-parent family.

My mother had died in an accident trying to save

  • Broken Love: His Final Goodbye   Chapter 11

    After Florence left that day, she did not truly give up. Instead, she became a presence outside my shop that I could not ignore.Every day, she stood at the entrance with a bouquet, from the first pale light of morning until the streetlamps came on at night, sampling nearly every noodle dish and snack on the menu.Her stubborn persistence left me feeling helpless.Madeline tried several times to drive her away, but I stopped her each time.I figured Florence could stay if she wanted. At worst, she was adding to the shop’s turnover. Money, after all, was something she never lacked.This went on for more than two weeks, until one day the number of customers suddenly dropped.That morning, as I prepared ingredients in the kitchen, I heard Madeline call out to me.“Come take a look at this.”I leaned out of the kitchen and glanced at her.Since Florence had come looking for me, Madeline had grown closer to me.The cash register seemed to have developed a printing obsession, s

  • Broken Love: His Final Goodbye   Chapter 10

    In a quiet corner of the city, I opened a small noodle shop. Life moved slowly, so I settled into a routine, opening from ten in the morning until four in the evening. Occasionally, I would close early to accompany my father to the hospital.After some time, the shop’s business began to flourish. I could no longer manage it alone, so I decided to hire an assistant. Madeline Poldark had once been a regular customer. She always picked a corner to sit quietly, typing away on her laptop. I had always found her name lovely. It felt like a pure, innocent presence in the world. When I mentioned it to her, she smiled shyly.Day by day, we grew familiar. When I learned she had struggled to find work while I needed help, I invited her to join the shop. Like me, she had a hearing impairment, though her left ear could still perceive sound.One busy afternoon, I was buried in the kitchen, preparing desserts for sale, when Madeline told me a customer was asking for me by name.

  • Broken Love: His Final Goodbye   Chapter 9

    Only I understood that once a heart had been broken, it could never be restored to its original form. Beneath the tranquil sea, hidden currents often surged in silence, unseen and unforgiving.Because of this sudden upheaval, my wedding to Florence had to be postponed for three months. She became obsessed with finding unique wedding ideas and eagerly presented each one to me.“Let’s have a forest wedding! Imagine walking out from between the trees—it would be so romantic!”She spoke with sparkling eyes, as if the entire world hinged on this celebration. Previously, I had arranged every detail of the wedding alone. Whenever I sought her input, she would brush it off, “You decide,” or, “I’m busy, don’t bother me with these little things.”Now, watching her excitement, I offered nothing but emotional support, praising each proposal with sincerity. This seemed to encourage her, and she threw herself into the planning with renewed energy.Once, as she spoke with particular en

  • Broken Love: His Final Goodbye   Chapter 8

    When I opened my eyes again, I was already lying in a hospital bed.Florence stayed by my side. When she saw me wake up, her eyes instantly reddened.I instinctively reached up to touch my forehead, and the wound throbbed with pain.The doctor said my head injury wasn’t serious, just a mild concussion.But I had a cracked rib and needed lots of rest.During the days I was unconscious, I had a dream. I dreamed of a child who looked a little like me and a little like Florence, waving at me.“Goodbye, Dad.”I looked at Florence.“Did you have an abortion?”Florence froze. She struggled for an answer, but the guilt in her eyes had already betrayed her.“Why?” I asked weakly.“You need to understand… I’m at a critical stage of my career right now. This isn’t the time to have a child.”I let out a laugh. Whether it was really about her career or because Michael had returned, she knew better than I did.I fell silent, my emotions tangled beyond sorting.That child had co

    That evening, Michael arrived at the banquet.Now serving as Florence’s personal assistant, his attendance was entirely natural.He wore a smoky gray tailcoat, and when he glanced at me, he deliberately lifted his chin, a clear provocation.Then I noticed the diamond tie pin fastened above his tie as it sparkled brilliantly.It was the very piece Florence had splurged on just a few days earlier.The final price far exceeded its intrinsic value, and the media buzzed with speculation that she had purchased it to please her fiancé.I nodded at him and silently mouthed, “You don’t deserve her.”Anger creased his forehead, but he was forced to suppress it.The prominent figures of Starhaven were all present that night.Everyone sought to build connections with Avery.Michael dared not act rashly.Florence linked her arm with mine as she conversed with Avery and Mable.“You are still so devoted to one another. It’s truly enviable.”“Not at all, we’re far behind you and Mr. Build

  • Broken Love: His Final Goodbye   Chapter 6

    That evening, I announced that I was feeling unwell and returned to my room early.The butler brought me a glass of warm milk, and I instructed him not to disturb me until the next day.Before going to bed, I broke my rule and called Florence, speaking more sweet words than I ever had. Only when I confirmed that she truly was on a business trip out of town did my heart finally settle.After I made sure everyone in the house had fallen asleep, I quietly got out of bed and slipped down the stairs under the cover of darkness.I had already booked a flight to Ganymede two days earlier, and the car I had arranged was waiting for me out back.I moved with extreme caution, careful not to make the slightest sound.As long as I didn’t alert the villa’s security guards, I could leave without incident.I edged forward nervously, but just as my hand closed around the car door handle, a sudden force yanked me violently backward.“Are you really this eager to leave me?” Florence demanded c
