Farewell, Admiral Chapter 9
Under his father’s pressure, Felix and I finally went to the courthouse and finalized our divorce. I felt a sense of peace for the first time in a long while. “I’ll drive you back,” Felix said, still insisting on seeing me off.“No need,” I replied. “I’ve made plans with someone else.”Just then, Kit pulled up in his car.“Auter, let’s go.”I hurried over to him, got into the car, and turned my head to look back at Felix, who was still standing at the entrance of the courthouse. At last, everything was over.Kit reached over and held my hand.“It’s okay,” he said softly. “I’m here.”I smiled, then pointed at the steering wheel. “Well, you’d better keep your eyes on the road. I don’t plan on dying in a lovers’ suicide with you.”That made both of us laugh.I once thought that divorcing Felix would finally clear the way for him to be with Grace. However, after our divorce, the two of them cut ties completely. Felix stayed at the military base every day after that. No one ever
Farewell, Admiral Chapter 8
Although Kit didn’t submit my surgical report through official channels, he handed it directly to Felix’s father. When his father saw how his own grandson had been tormented to death because of Felix, he punished him by forcing him to come to my home and apologize.I looked at Felix kneeling on the floor, and for a brief moment, it felt as though an entire lifetime had passed.“Autumn, we’re sorry,” his father said. “Tell me how you want to punish him. Whatever you decide, I’ll make sure he’s taught a proper lesson.”Felix remained on his knees, silent from beginning to end.Did I hate him? I think I once did because I had truly loved him, and that was why it hurt so much when I was wounded. However, I was now healed. The places that once festered had recovered, and I no longer wanted to go back to how it was.“Mr. Brown,” I said calmly, “I have nothing left to say to Felix. Back then, I married him of my own free will, so the suffering I endured was my own doing. I just don’t wan

The one who spoke was Kit Jones, whose father and mine had been old acquaintances. Later, he chose to go into medicine and eventually went abroad for university, so he didn’t know much about what had been happening back home. Still, he was familiar with Felix and Grace.“Felix, what are you doing here?” Kit asked.“Kit, we should be the ones asking you that,” Grace replied. “Didn’t you move overseas? Why are you back?”“I went abroad to study. Now that I’m done, of course, I’m back. But if I remember correctly, Grace, you were already married before I left. Why don’t I see your husband? And why are you here with Felix?”The situation between Felix and me had been made clear to Kit before this blind date. Besides, we were all from the same social circle. So no matter how distant, people would have heard something. For him to bring it up now made things awkward for both of them.“Kit,” Felix said, lowering his voice in displeasure, “since you’re back, you should’ve let us know. Autu
Farewell, Admiral Chapter 6
Felix and I both came from prominent families, though our paths were never the same.He and Grace were childhood sweethearts, raised together inside the same military compound. Their parents both held positions in the military forces. My father, on the other hand, was a government official. They knew each other, but there was never much closeness between the families.Later on, I fell in love with Felix at first sight. At that time, Grace happened to be dating the son of a high-ranking official. In order to be with that man, she broke up with Felix, and that was when I stepped closer to him.To pursue Felix, I ignored my parents’ objections and rented a small place near his military base, just so that every weekend when he was allowed out, I could cook a meal for him. We lived in that little apartment that belonged only to us—holding each other, embracing, and enjoying a happiness that felt exclusive and intimate.Later, news broke that Grace was pregnant. Almost at the same time,

I knew Felix’s status was sensitive. A divorce would leave a stain on his record, which was why he stubbornly refused to sign the papers. However, an affair would ruin his future just as badly, so he didn’t dare take that gamble.The next day, Felix suddenly showed up at my café. This time, he came alone.“What would you like to drink?” I asked, treating him like any other customer.“Autumn, I want to talk about us.”I could more or less figure out what he wanted to say, but I had no interest in wasting time on it. I tossed a menu onto the table and replied, “I don’t chat while I’m working. If you’re not here for coffee, you can leave.”Left with no choice, Felix sat down and ordered himself a cup of black coffee.I stared at him, puzzled. He was allergic to coffee—black coffee, especially, was something he could never touch. He looked at me with a hint of hope, clearly hoping I would remind him about his allergy. In the past, back when we lived together, I had carefully plan
Farewell, Admiral Chapter 4
I had been separated from Felix for a long time, so I never expected to run into him here.“Why are you here?” I asked instinctively.Based on my memory, Felix was allergic to coffee. Even the smell made him uncomfortable. The first time I brewed coffee at home, he lost his temper and swept all my coffee equipment onto the floor. From that day on, I never made coffee in the house again.“I know you like this place, so I came to take a look…” he said.In truth, I had no interest in knowing why Felix was here. I had only asked out of reflex.“Oh. I see…”I turned to leave, but Felix grabbed my arm from behind, asking, “Autumn, can we talk?”I was just about to tell him to let go when a woman’s voice sounded behind him.“Autumn, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here.”Grace appeared behind Felix, holding her child. In that instant, everything clicked. Only Grace could make Felix come to a place he disliked that much.Maple walked straight up to Felix’s side and sai
