Let the Wind Carry Us Far Away Chapter 10
"You can hate me, Nina, but can you at least not forget the good memories we had?""We really did love each other once, didn't we?His smile was tinged with bitterness.In the six months since returning to the Northwest, Jason had tried everything he could think of to get close to me. He brought me water, carried me back through the wind and sand when I was injured, and found every excuse to cook for me and deliver the food to my place.No matter how often my distant attitude discouraged him, he always came back with a smile.Eventually, I confronted him about what he was doing. I told him that if he kept trying to approach me this way, I would use my authority as project director to send him back to the capital.After that, Jason didn't dare come close again.He couldn't bear to lose his only chance to see me, so he carefully hid his attempts to win me back and stayed near me under the guise of friendship. He seemed willing to spend the rest of his life that way, content to see me and

Then Claire spoke from behind me."Nina, apparently it was really hard to get approval to send that equipment to the Northwest. We heard Jason only managed it by applying to go back himself, this time as a regular field employee."Megan picked up from there. "We also heard about what happened with Yvonne. She proposed to him several times, but he never said yes. Then after she finished her thesis, she started dating someone at school and told Jason she didn't need him anymore."Claire gave me a worried look. "So we've been wondering if that's why he suddenly wants to go back. Maybe he thinks he still has a chance with you. Just don't let him talk you into anything."Their concern made me smile."I won't. Jason and I are already in the past."When we flew back to the Northwest, Jason really was on the same flight. He traded seats with someone and sat beside me, then spent a long time hesitating before he finally spoke."Nina, I think I understand now what you meant when you said we were

"You didn't come back specifically to see me?""I did come back specifically to see you. I want to discuss sending some of the institute's equipment to the Northwest."Jason's grip tightened around his cup, nearly spilling the water onto his clothes. Disappointment crept into his voice."Take a seat, then. What do you want to discuss?"I explained the situation with the new project and asked whether he would approve sending the research institute's equipment to the Northwest. Jason seemed distracted the entire time, showing little interest in anything I said about the project.Only after I finished did he look at me."Nina, is the Northwest really that important to you? Important enough that you'd even give me up for it?"Yvonne has proposed to me several times, but I haven't said yes. I've been waiting for you to come back to me. You know me better than anyone. "If you're willing to make the first move, I'll agree to remarry you."I slid the documents toward him again, keeping my ton

[Did you deliberately like Yvonne's video to get my attention, or were you trying to make me jealous?]Only after reading the message did I realize I'd accidentally liked one of Yvonne's videos when I closed the app that afternoon.I had no idea why Jason felt the need to explain any of this to me. Whatever was going on between him and Yvonne had stopped mattering to me a long time ago.I typed a polite but distant reply.[Mr. Hale, your personal life has nothing to do with me. I liked the video by accident. I've blocked this number, and I hope you won't contact me again. It wouldn't be appropriate.]Then I blocked every number Jason had ever used, went to bed, and slept soundly through the night.The new project proved even more difficult than we'd expected. Years of drought had left the soil in the Northwest barren, and the vegetation we'd transplanted could survive for only a short time.I spent three days walking the site and sat through several planning sessions before I finally c

I spent my days covering the land on foot, measuring its progress one step at a time. Two weeks passed before my lawyer finally called."Ms. Stone, the divorce has been finalized, and the property settlement went smoothly. Mr. Hale agreed to leave the marriage with nothing. "The property in the capital and all the cash in his name have been transferred to you. He said it was compensation for everything you gave up to come to the Northwest with him. "What would you like to do with the house? I can arrange the transfer if you need me to."I checked my bank account and saw a little over two million dollars had been deposited. A note came with the transfer.[Thank you for five years together. From now on, neither of us owes the other anything.]Neither of us owed the other anything. It was a clean, respectable ending."Please sell the house for me," I told the lawyer. "I'm not going back."After the call, I went straight to Martin's office. "We've run into a problem with the new project.

Jason was practically shouting on the other end."Nina Stone, do you even know what you're saying?! I've already gotten you approved for a position here as my assistant, and you're insisting on staying in that backwater in the Northwest just to make life harder for yourself?!"And what divorce? I never even signed a divorce agreement. What divorce are you talking about?"Jason was exactly as he'd always been, forceful and domineering, making decisions without considering how I felt.Windblown sand stung my eyes. I rubbed them and stayed silent for a long moment.His tone softened a little."Nina, divorce isn't something to joke about. No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't threaten me with divorce."I came back early with Yvonne because she doesn't have any friends or family. I'm the only person she has. How could I let her come back all by herself?"I laughed."But Jason, my parents died in a car accident before I came to the Northwest. After I moved here, I lost touch with all my
