He Became Eighteen, Left Me for Her, Then Begged Me Back Chapter 13
“But there’s one thing he did better than I ever did.”“What?”“He said whatever was on his mind.”I turned to look at him.Adrian kept his hands on the wheel and was silent for a few seconds.“I used to think loving someone meant giving her the best of everything.“Taking care of things for her. Shielding her from every problem. Clearing the road ahead so she never had to struggle.“But now I know there are some things you can’t do for someone else.”I didn’t say anything.“Anna.”“Yeah?”“From now on, if you want my help, tell me.“If you don’t ask, I won’t make the decision for you.”I watched the streetlights slide past outside the window.“Remember you said that.”“I will.”Six months later, my mother-in-law asked me out to dinner.Halfway through the meal, she suddenly pushed a set of keys across the table.“Adrian asked me to give these to you.”I glanced down.“What are they?”“The house keys.”“Why didn’t he give them to me himself?”She snorted.“He sa

During my first week back, a client asked me a question in a meeting that I couldn’t answer.That night, I stood under the hot water in the shower and suddenly wanted to call Adrian.In the past, all I had to do was ask.Within half an hour, he probably would’ve had every relevant document sent to me, along with a list of exactly who I needed to contact.I picked up my phone.Then I put it back down.The next day, I reached out to three former colleagues and took them out to dinner.The problem still got solved.Not as quickly as Adrian would’ve solved it.But it wasn’t nearly as difficult as I had imagined either.As time went on, the thought of calling Adrian came to me less and less.It wasn’t because I didn’t need him.I was simply starting to remember that I used to know how to solve my own problems too.When the West District deal was finally closed, Caleb called me.“Ms. Shaw, the other side finally came down another two percent.”I laughed.“You don’t have to ca

“At the company, all the access and authority were in your hands. At home, it was the same.“You arranged the drivers. The legal team worked for you. Even when Grandma had surgery three years ago, I didn’t know which doctors you contacted or how you got them here.“I used to think that was a good thing.“You took care of everything for me, and all I had to do was live my life without worrying about anything.”I looked up at him.“But that day, when I couldn’t even get through my own front door, I realized something.“If you weren’t there, I didn’t even know where I stood anymore.”Adrian’s throat moved.“It was my—”“It wasn’t your fault.”I cut him off.“And loving me the way you did wasn’t wrong either.“I was the one who handed over too much of my life.”I zipped up my suitcase.“So now I want some of it back.”Adrian looked at me for a long time.“Including our marriage?”My hand stilled.It was the first time since he came back that he had asked me so directly.

“The divorce was never legally finalized.”The attorney continued, “And several provisions in the agreement attempt to dispose of marital assets.”“We’ll handle everything from here.”Adrian nodded.“Recover whatever needs to be recovered.”Then he added,“Don’t touch anything in Anna’s name or anything she owned before the marriage.”The attorney paused.“Of course.”Adrian’s expression remained grim.“I’m reminding myself.”Caleb immediately lowered his head, trying to hide his reaction.I almost laughed.Then I decided laughing probably wasn’t appropriate and turned my face away instead.Adrian noticed.For the first time in days, some of the tension left his expression.The last issue was the pink diamond.Vivian refused to return it.She insisted Adrian had personally given it to her.Technically, eighteen-year-old Adrian had.After hearing that, Adrian only asked the attorney one question.“Which account paid for it?”“The family office account.”“Then hand

And yet the very next day, he asked me out again.Adrian continued, “The third time, I wanted to see her.“The fourth time too.“And every time after that.”He looked at Vivian.“Don’t reduce six years of someone else’s life to the fact that she happens to look like you.”The floating comments seemed to crash completely.For a long time, nothing appeared.Then:[…][Wait. What exactly have we been shipping this whole time?][Hold on. So who was actually the substitute here?]I didn’t feel any sense of victory.I was just tired.“Adrian.”His eyes immediately turned to me.“Don’t argue in the hospital.”He paused.“Okay.”Vivian opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something else, but eighteen-year-old Adrian had already removed her hand from his arm.“I told you yesterday not to use someone’s life to force her into anything.”For the first time, the reckless defiance was gone from his young face.“You lied to me.”Vivian went pale.“Adrian, I did it all for—

There was also a message underneath.[Mr. Pierce, since the patient’s family has changed the treatment plan, we’ll cancel our trip for now. Please contact us anytime if you need us later.]The message had been marked as read.Eighteen-year-old Adrian stared at it.“I never saw this.”Vivian’s face went completely white.Adrian handed the phone back to his younger self.“She’s the one you chose.”His voice was calm.“See for yourself.”Eighteen-year-old Adrian looked at Vivian as if he were seeing her for the first time.“Why?”Tears immediately spilled down Vivian’s cheeks.“What else was I supposed to do?“You’re already married. I have nothing.“Anna gets to be Mrs. Pierce. She gets your house, your company, and now your mother even gave her the bracelet.“I waited for you all these years. You finally chose me again, and all I wanted was to take back what should’ve been mine in the first place.”Eighteen-year-old Adrian stared at her.Vivian reached for his hand.“
