I'm Going Home Chapter 9
Vanessa could barely get out the last few words to me through her sobs. The tears that had made me give in to her repeatedly were still on her face, just as they had three years ago. This time, they did not move me. I listened quietly. After a long moment, I shook my head. It was a small movement, but a firm one. I slowly took an elegant white invitation embossed with silver from the tool bag made from canvas at my side and held it out to her. "No. Vanessa, I'm getting married." Vanessa seemed unable to understand. She stood frozen, staring at the invitation. Her hand remained raised, but she could not bring herself to take it. When she looked up, her eyes were empty with despair. I did not wait for her. I stepped forward and placed the invitation in her hand. "The woman I'm marrying filed a formal request with her organization to get permission to marry me. It was approved. She's a local. Our parents have met and everyone's happy with this. I want to build a life with

However, my mom had calmly poured Vanessa some coffee and waited for her to settle down before looking at her. "Vanessa, Joey was determined to go overseas with you back then. "I didn't stop him because that was his choice, and he has borne the consequences for five years. Now that he has chosen to start over, I won't stand in his way. I respect every choice he makes. "As for the two of you… You two were already finished the moment you let yourself and others humiliate him. It's too late to cry now. Go back to Westland and don't come back. That's the last piece of friendly advice I'll give you." Mom said Vanessa's face had gone pale. She looked so defeated she could barely walk. From her appearance alone, Vanessa had become much more exhausted in the six months since I'd left. Mom was not bothered by it at all, however. She simply told the cafe manager to ask Vanessa to leave if she ever came back. I listened in silence, not feeling much. My attention kept drifting back to

Nicole called me half an hour later. I did not hang up on her. When she pleaded Vanessa's case, I asked her a question. "Nicole, if you were me, would you forgive Vanessa?" She gave a bitter laugh and answered at once. "No. Love can't survive being treated like that." I gave a small laugh too, but my voice was firm. "Then I'm asking you as a friend, Nicole. Please don't tell her where I am or give her my new contact information. Tell Vanessa I've already started a new life. She and I are finished." I took a quick breath. A faint ache stirred in my chest before going away. "I'll count those five years as the price of learning a lesson." Nicole did not say anything more. After that, we exchanged a few polite words and hung up. Meanwhile, my mom had been listening quietly beside me. "I knew you'd come back. I just didn't expect you so soon. "I thought you'd be like me. I thought you'd wait until you were in your thirties, until you and Vanessa had torn each other apart and

Vanessa continued speaking to Harry. "I'll pay for this hospital room, but you can't keep living in my home with Joey. You have a week to move out. As for your work, resign on your own. I'll pay you double the usual severance. "I'll send a lawyer tomorrow to have you sign the divorce papers. Harry, take better care of yourself from now on." Vanessa pulled free and ran out. Harry was still crying behind her, but she had no time for him and drove straight to the airport. At the service counter, a staff member looked up my flight. "Yes, ma'am. Our records show that there is a Mr. Joey Lane was on flight AA188 tonight. It's a direct flight bound to Kentra. It landed at Kentran International Airport in the capital an hour ago." "Could you...call him for me?" Vanessa asked urgently. "I'm his wife. I have to reach him right away!" The staff frowned and shook her head. "I understand, ma'am, but we're not allowed to call passengers on their personal numbers." She paused as if

Vanessa jolted and almost shouted when she heard those words from Nicole on the other side of the phone. "What? Joey's at the airport? He's going back to Kentra?!" Her reaction took Nicole by surprise, and Nicole immediately realized something was wrong. "I think so. He was already at the boarding gate when I saw him, so I couldn't catch up to say hello. I figured he had something urgent to do back home, and I called to ask you about it. "Vanessa, what happened? Why did he leave on his own? From your reaction, you didn't know anything about it?" Vanessa became silent, which was something rare. Nicole could literally hear her ragged breathing. Even Nicole could tell something serious had happened. She was about to ask if she could help when the call ended. Only the sounds of a cut-off call remained. Vanessa had hung up to call me, but the response she got was, "I'm sorry, but the number you have called cannot be reached at the moment..." She frowned and tried again. It w

"I'm freezing the supplementary card on my account and revoking your access to the manor! Without me supporting you, you'd be worse off than a dog here!" Vanessa roared at me. Vanessa did not look at me again as she picked Harry up, who was still groaning. She then shouted at the stunned onlookers. "What are you waiting for? Call an ambulance! …No, take him to the hospital in my car! Hurry!" The entire group all rushed out. I stood there alone, rubbing my bruised shoulder where Vanessa had slammed into me. I shook my head and let out a bitter laugh. Behold and witness, Joey Lane. Behold what five years of your life and all that reckless devotion had bought you. …Fine. There really was nothing left to miss now. Vanessa had always been someone who followed through on her threats. I did not want to go back to pack anymore. Since she had said she supported me, it would only disgust me to bring back anything I bought with her money. Fortunately, I had brought all my pers
