Winning Back the Husband
During a typhoon alert, Joyce Lane calls me and tells me to pick her up from her company. On the way there, I receive a text from her. "You don't have to pick me up anymore. I'm going to stay over at Fin's place for a few days." I opt not to start anything with her. Instead, I calmly text back, "Okay." In the middle of the night, Finley Jones, Joyce's junior at work, uploads a social media post that's meant for my eyes only. Joyce can be seen huddling against Finley while feeding him some snacks in the photo. The window outside depicts a storm. The caption writes, "It's only befitting for me to tide out the worst weather with the woman I love the most." I leave a like on the photo calmly. Suddenly, Joyce calls me and demands what that like means. I reply coolly, "It means we're breaking up."

I quickly apologized to Bianca, telling her not to bother with the search and that Joyce had already gone back.Although Bianca didn't mind the hassle, I couldn't shake the feeling I'd been played again. This wasn't the first time.Whenever I'd upset Joyce in the past, she'd find a way to punish me by tricking me.There was that time she pretended to be sick—she hadn't been—just to make me walk nearly 20 miles through a storm to buy her breakfast.By the time I got back, I was the one coming down with something. Joyce smirked and said, "How stupid can you be? I told you to go, and you really went. Just because I said I was sick, does that mean I actually was? You should've just come over to check on me first."Looking back, I wanted to smack myself for being a fool, a humiliating one at that. But I would never fall for her tricks again.The following days passed quietly, and life slowly returned to normal.I thought Joyce would fade completely from my world, but not long after t

Right then, a clear, melodious voice rang out."Hello? Is this the Sutton residence?"I turned and saw Bianca, the lady Kelvin had introduced me to at the farewell dinner.I shook off Joyce's hand and went to greet Bianca.That was when I found out that the lady my grandfather had set me up with was her. It really was a funny coincidence."Come in," I said, smiling. "Grandpa was just talking about you."Bianca nodded politely, then glanced at Joyce.Joyce stood off to the side, eyes red, looking pitiful and aggrieved.If this were the past, I'd have rushed to comfort her, holding her close to ease her pain.But now, I felt nothing. This was just another of her stunts to grab my attention.I walked past Joyce with Bianca without so much as a glance. It wasn't until we got to the main entrance that I heard her calling out pitifully, "Harry!"I didn't look back. I smiled at Bianca and stepped inside.My grandfather welcomed us, and after a brief chat, he left us alone.Alone

My grandfather's words hit me like a spark. If Joyce had come all this way, I might as well clear things up.I stepped outside and immediately saw Joyce. She stood under the old oak, wearing a light, whimsical dress, hands clasped behind her back, a canvas bag slung over her shoulder—just like the first time we met.For a moment, I almost felt transported back in time. Something deep within me stirred.But that feeling passed quickly. Five years of giving everything, of bending over backward for her, had left scars far deeper than nostalgia could touch.I remembered how I used to beg her to wear that same dress again.She had sneered at me then, impatient and mocking, "Harry, are you serious? I hate this kind of whimsical dress!"After that, I never asked again.And now, after all this time, she had chosen to wear it on her own. But it didn't matter anymore."Harry!"Joyce ran toward me, smiling, but her face wasn't the innocent, youthful one I remembered.She reached for my

Four hours later, the plane touched down. My parents were already waiting for me at the airport.Time had left its mark. My mother had more wrinkles on her face, and my father's shoulders had a noticeable slump.A lump formed in my throat. I had spent years fighting with them over Joyce, even driving them to cut me off. And yet, they were here, welcoming me home.I wiped at the corner of my eye and hurried forward, greeting them with a smile.My mother dabbed at her own eyes, gave me a playful scold, and swatted my arm. "You little brat—you finally came back!"We headed back to the mansion. My grandfather was already there, smiling warmly. He didn't scold me either. Instead, he smiled and said, "Welcome home. It's good to have you back."After our first meal together in a long while, I returned to my room, only to see my phone buzzing relentlessly with missed calls from Joyce.I was about to block her when the phone rang again.On the line, Joyce sobbed and asked, "Harry, have

I heard the living room door open, so I guessed Joyce had left.In the past, if she'd gone out in the middle of the night, I would've chased after her immediately. But this time, I turned off the lights and went back to sleep.I didn't know where Joyce went, but I knew she would be fine.When I w

"You look stunning, Joyce!" Finley exclaimed, his eyes shining, brimming with possessiveness.When I passed by, Joyce shot me a look, then moved right up to Finley, her voice soft and seductive. "Fin, can you help me with this zipper?"Finley gave me a pointed look, pretending to hesitate. "Joyce,

Joyce glanced at my expression, as if waiting for me to say something.There were always so many things involving Finley, and every time I asked in the past, I got chewed out.This time, I said nothing.Ten minutes later, Joyce suddenly smacked the steering wheel and snapped at me, "Cat got your

On the third day after the typhoon passed, Joyce Lane finally contacted me.The text read, "Come pick me up at Fin's place. He's busy—can't drive me back."In the past, whenever she called, I would drop everything and go.This time, I replied while waiting for my oatmeal to finish cooking. "Just
