Happy Ten Years; Now, We Divorce Chapter 10
Yelena smiled faintly. "Thanks. Yours was good too."We offered a polite nod of farewell, with no unnecessary words and no awkward small talk.A week later, the results were announced.My proposal won the bid, which took me completely by surprise.When Edwin called to break the good news, his voice buzzed with excitement. "Mr. Tucker, we got the riverside project! The competition was fierce, but we pulled through!"I gave a brief grunt of acknowledgement and hung up.Staring at my phone screen, I hesitated for a long time before sending Yelena a message.I didn't mention the bidding outcome at all. I simply asked, "How have you been lately?"My phone vibrated, and I picked it up.Yelena replied, "I'm doing great. The aurora is beautiful."Attached below was a photo.It was a shot of her standing in the snows of Trelmont, with vibrant green and purple northern lights cascading across the entire night sky like ribbons of silk.She was bundled up in a heavy down jacket, her sc

In the days that followed, I handed the day-to-day operations of the company over to Edwin, only stepping in to help make decisions on major projects.I picked up a new habit.Whenever I traveled on business or visited a new city, I'd bring back a postcard.It was completely pointless, as no one would ever see them. But I felt I had to do something to remember all the places I had promised to take Yelena to yet never did.A year later, the company bid on a redevelopment project.Edwin had told me about the project a long time ago. It was on the other side of the city, where the government planned to turn a cluster of old factories into art studios and exhibition spaces to create a new cultural landmark.Something stirred inside me, and I agreed to join the bid.Edwin looked at me, asked no questions, and simply nodded.For the next three months, I threw almost all my time into the project.On the day of the pitch, I stood on the presentation stage, walking through the entire p

Ten days later, I went back to work.I shaved, changed into clean clothes, signed off on the documents on my desk, and attended all my scheduled meetings.Edwin shot me a glance from the doorway. Without a word, he softly closed the door behind him.Life seemed to get back on track.Meetings, negotiations, contract signings, and business dinners—it was an endless cycle.I bought back the house I had sold and moved in.When I made the purchase, the real estate agent double-checked with me three times, warning me that the buyers had already transferred the title and might not be willing to sell.I told him to go negotiate. I didn't care how much extra it cost.In the end, I paid an extra 30 thousand dollars just to buy it back.Once things at the company settled down, I started going through Yelena's belongings. At the very bottom of the bookshelf, I found a document folder.Opening it, I discovered a stack of A4 paper filled with design sketches.I flipped through them one by

The door clicked shut, and Edwin was gone.I lay on the hotel bed, staring at the ceiling, when a memory suddenly floated into my mind.It was our third year of marriage. Yelena had come home one day, flush with excitement, holding a travel brochure. "Look, an aurora trip to Eveloria! I'd love to go."I was buried in company financial statements at the time and didn't even raise my head. "Sure. Once I get through this busy stretch, I'll take you."When that busy stretch passed, new work took its place.Later, the brochure disappeared, and Yelena never brought it up again.There were so many moments like that.She once said she wanted to learn oil painting. I said okay and signed her up for a class, but she stopped going after three sessions, saying she didn't have time.She mentioned wanting to go see the cherry blossoms in Jenthar with a friend. I told her to go ahead, but she hesitated for a long time before dropping it, saying there was too much going on at the company for h

When we walked out of the restaurant after dinner, total darkness had fallen.Wendy's family got into their car. She rolled down the window to say goodbye. "If you ever need any help, just reach out to me."I smiled and waved them off.The car pulled away, its taillights shrinking in the night until they vanished around the bend at the end of the road.I stood on the curb, surrounded by the biting chill of the night air.Back then, I had completely scoffed at Dad's belief in marrying someone of equal background.I thought love was just love. What did family background have to do with anything?I loved Yelena, and she loved me. That was all that mattered.But now looking back, I was no longer sure if I had made the right choice.In the days that followed, I became like a machine with its power plug pulled, grinding to a complete halt.I pushed off as much company matters as possible and handed whatever couldn't be delayed over to my deputy CEO, Edwin Barrett.I shut myself in

"Dominic," Wendy said, tugging gently on the man's sleeve.Dominic Wilson grunted, turned his face away, and stayed quiet.Wendy gave me an awkward look. "Kendrick, don't mind him. That's just how he is. Everything that happened back then… is water under the bridge."She paused, her tone light with genuine closure. "You had someone else in your heart back then, and I understood. I never blamed you."I shook my head. "It was wrong of me."It wasn't just polite small talk. I truly meant it.Back then, when Wendy found out about the blind date, she had been happy and had even prepared a small gift for me.Yet I left her standing there at our agreed meeting spot.She must have endured endless gossip behind her back because of me.Wendy smiled, seemingly wanting to let the topic rest. "We were just about to grab dinner. Why don't you join us?"We went to a small restaurant in town.Her family of four sat on one side of the booth, and I sat across from them alone.When ordering,
