Tragic Love

Winning Back the Wife

Melodramatic

Campus

After taking our graduation photo, I break up with Philip Lutz. "You're doing this just because I stood behind Mandy and not you while we were taking our graduation photos?" he asks. "Yes," I merely reply. "Sure," he says with a smile. "You'd better not come crying to me or begging for us to get back together later." Having known each other for ten years and dated for four, Philip is certain that I'll never leave him. However, he's unaware that the graduation photos are just an excuse. If I'm capable of taking my graduation photos alone, I can walk my future path alone. Once I've gone abroad, the sky's the limit for me. I no longer need him to stand behind me either.

Chapter 1
Stella's POVMy boyfriend, Philip Lutz, looked down at me with a trace of a smile in his eyes. "Just because I was standing behind Mandy and not you just now? Stella, you're already 22 years old. Are you really going to make a fuss over something like this?"I said nothing.He continued with a hint of exasperation, "Mandy has issues with low blood sugar. In fact, her face was pale just now. Besides, we were taking our graduation photo, not our wedding photos."I nodded. "Which is why I'm not making a fuss over it. I just want to break up."He narrowed his eyes. "Are you serious?""Yes.""Sure," he said with a smile. "You'd better not come to me begging to get back together later on."He was certain that this time would play out like the countless times before. He was sure that this breakup was just one of my antics born out of my tantrum.That had indeed been the case in the past.When he replied to Mandy Shickell's messages faster than he replied to mine, I would get jealous

After gazing at the message for a while, I replied, "No thanks. I'll get there myself."I quickly received a call from Philip, but I ignored it.He sent another text message. "Are you still angry? Alright, then. I ordered that strawberry cake you like. I'll have it delivered to you tomorrow as an apology gift."In the past, my heart probably would've softened at that.He knew what I liked and remembered all my dietary restrictions. He would also make me hot chocolate when I was on my period.So, I kept telling myself that he liked me.However, I finally realized that it was so tiring having to constantly remind myself that he had feelings for me.The farewell dinner was being held in a restaurant outside the college.When I arrived the next day, the private room was already more than half full.There was an empty seat next to Philip.When he saw me, his eyes lit up, and he waved at me. "Stella, over here."Before I could even make my way over to him, Mandy came in with a sta

Mandy smiled and said, "It's a good thing I have you. I'd surely have made a mistake again otherwise."Philip replied distantly, "Be more careful next time.""Got it," Mandy chirped.Then, she tilted her head and asked, "By the way, do you want to take a look at everyone's graduate survey forms? Stella's is still blank. She hasn't filled in her survey yet."Philip paused.I stood openly at the corner before the stairwell.Philip spotted me and walked over."Stella, why didn't you fill in your graduate survey form? Hasn't Mond Group set aside a position for you? Aren't you joining the company?" he asked."We'll have to see," I replied simply.His gaze grew more scrutinizing.Mandy spoke up quietly, saying, "With Stella's grades, it's only natural that she has plenty of options—unlike me. I can only aim for a teaching assistant position here."She then looked at Philip and continued, "Philip, didn't you say there's an opening for an administrative position at your family's com

Three days before my flight to Londashire, I started packing my belongings from my dorm room.I sorted through my books, notebooks, certificates, and even the gifts I once received from Philip.On my birthday during my freshman year, he'd given me a crystal moon lamp."You're my precious star, so you should have your own moon," he'd said.During the winter of my sophomore year, he'd given me a scarf.During my junior year, he'd given me a fountain pen.I once displayed these items in the most prominent spot in my dorm room.Now, piled up in the trash can, they just looked like cheap baubles.After I was done tidying up, I checked my phone.My WhatsApp was completely free of notifications.True to his word, Philip hadn't sought me out for the entire day, nor did he try to cheer me up.…Two days before my flight, I went through the dormitory checkout procedures.The dormitory warden, Isabella Wright, recognized me. As she signed off on the paperwork, she glanced toward the

Third-Person POVBack in the auditorium, Philip's expression finally darkened.He took a step back, avoiding the badge that Mandy was holding out to him."Sorry, but now's not a good time," he said.Mandy paled, and the hecklers in the crowd quieted down as well.Philip didn't pay them any more attention. He simply looked at the spot where Stella had been sitting just now.It was now empty.He frowned imperceptibly and immediately forced his way through the crowd.There was nothing left on the chair—no flowers, no bag, and no Stella.He ran out of the auditorium, but the outside was just as empty.There was no trace of Stella.Someone caught up to him and tapped him on the shoulder from behind. "Philip, are you looking for Stella?"Philip instantly looked back at him. "Did you see her?"The student pointed toward the college entrance. "I think she left."Philip was dazed. "She left? Where to?"Startled by his expression, the student replied hesitantly, "I don't know. I j

Tears slid down Mandy's face. "Am I wrong? She'd been planning to leave ages ago. She accepted an offer from overseas with no intention of telling you."Philip asked slowly, "You knew all along?"Mandy stiffened. "I… I saw her graduate survey form. She later filled in the column for her plan after graduation—participation in a research project in Londashire. I thought she'd have told you."Philip looked at her. "Why didn't you tell me?"Tears streamed more heavily down Mandy's face.Philip ignored her and ran toward the entrance again.Mandy suddenly raised her voice and, as if she'd been holding it in for a long time, she yelled, "Because I like you!"Several of their nearby classmates stopped to look over in astonishment.However, Mandy seemed to have thrown all caution to the wind.She ranted, "I'm the one who's been handling class affairs at your side for the past four years. When you ran for student council, I helped you organize the necessary materials. When you were pre

Philip's heart skipped a beat.The staff member continued, "It's already departed."Philip stood rooted to the spot, feeling as if all his strength had left him.The announcements ringing through the hall, the sound of footsteps, the clattering of suitcase rollers—everything seemed to fade into the distance in that instant.He looked up at the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, through which he could see a steady curtain of rain.The plane had already broken through the clouds, flying toward a place he could not follow.…Stella's POVAfter arriving in Londashire, my mentor showed me around the laboratory on my first day of work.My colleagues were very fast speakers, so I had to focus hard to keep up with them.The apartment I rented wasn't big, but it received plenty of natural light.The window offered a view of a row of red-brick houses.When the weather was nice, the sun would shine down on the balcony.I bought a white flower vase, in which I arranged a bouquet of lisia

Philip looked up at me with red-rimmed eyes. "But I forgot that you aren't a child who will always stay in place, waiting for me to cheer you up. You get tired, too."I said nothing.He started speaking faster, as if afraid that I'd turn around and leave. "There's nothing between Mandy and me. I never liked her. I know that explaining all this now makes it seem as if I'm trying to cover my own back, but I still want to clarify this."I helped her out of a sense of responsibility as class president, because I thought that it was only natural for classmates to help each other out. When she was suffering from low blood sugar, I only steadied her."That one time I escorted her back to her dorm, it was because she was running a fever and a teacher asked me to keep a closer eye on her in the group chat. That night I helped her with her thesis, it was because she failed the plagiarism check, and the counselor asked me to help her on short notice."Each and every time, I felt that I was s

This time, Philip was completely speechless.He stood in the rain with bloodshot eyes.After a long time, he finally seemed to find his voice."Then, can you please give me another chance? I'll change, really. I won't ever keep you waiting or guessing again, and I won't ever prioritize someone else over you. I can stay in Londashire—I'm already in contact with the branch company here."I can start over from the beginning. Neither my family's plans for me nor my preparations for joining the company are more important than you."I shook my head. "But to me, you're no longer as important as before."Philip froze, turning so pale he looked almost ghost-like.I gazed at him and continued calmly, "Philip, I'm not trying to punish you or make you suffer. I've just moved on. I'm living a good life now, and I have no desire to return to the past."Philip swallowed. His tears grew in volume. "But I can't move on.""That's your problem," I said bluntly.He took half a step back as if my

Philip immediately took my suitcase from me.His movements were smooth yet cautious, as if afraid that I'd change my mind.The car's heater was on.Philip handed me a bottle of warm water."Did you sleep well on the plane?" he asked."Well enough.""Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat first?""No thanks. I'd like to go home.""Okay."Along the way back, we didn't speak much.Later, I asked him, "How's your grandfather doing?"Philip tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "He was hospitalized again a while back—same old illness. He's been getting on in years, so the flare-ups have been bad."I said, "I'll visit him if I have the time."Philip looked at me intently, then quickly turned away.He replied in a low voice, "He'll be very glad for it."We chatted about some other topics—the weather in Londashire, my work, his company's recent projects.Philip spoke much less than he used to.In the past, he was always self-assured, confident, and carried himself
