Nothing Left For Us Chapter 22
A year later, I used my royalties from the picture book to buy an art studio.It wasn't huge, but it featured a floor-to-ceiling window facing south.The afternoon sunlight spilled across my easel, gently illuminating the repaired silver comb sitting by the windowsill. The fracture line down the middle was still clearly visible, but I never searched for a replacement again.On the day my new picture book was published, the publishing house sent out complimentary copies to several partner charitable organizations.Included on that list was the minor legal aid center where Lucas worked.He didn't use it as an excuse to contact me or ask anyone to deliver anything on his behalf, and he never showed up at a book signing.The new picture book was titled "Every Single Meeting". It told the story of a girl who, after suffering immense loss, was still willing to open her heart and rediscover the world.It wasn't about waiting, nor was it about broken relationships suddenly mending. On t

After the Art Gala ended, Lucas left South City for good.He no longer saved any of my public itineraries, nor did he ask his assistant to book tickets to the next city. After returning home, he officially resigned from his law firm and joined a minor legal aid center.His income dropped to less than half of what he used to make, and his office was reduced to a cramped cubicle. For his very first case, he helped a young girl, who had been long controlled by her abusive father, apply for a personal protection order.Hearing the mother repeat, "He's only doing it for the child's own good," Lucas fell silent.He, too, had once used that same excuse to decide for Emma—when she should be kind, when she should yield, and when she should forgive.In the past, he was accustomed to being the savior in everyone else's eyes. Now, he provided legal assistance strictly within his professional duties, no longer taking anyone's emotional dependency as proof of his own worth.With their matrimon

On the day of the Art Gala, Lucas arrived near the venue in the middle of the night.He stayed just two blocks away, foregoing planes, high-speed trains, or any elevators that could potentially malfunction.At 6 a.m., he walked along the street toward the entrance, with four hours left before the event began.He sat by the curb with water and a loaf of bread, his eyes never straying from the main entrance even for a second. Throughout the wait, he didn't call the organizers or ask anyone to slip his name backstage.This time, he had no intention of using his status or network to force a response from me. He simply wanted to look at me from afar in a public setting, like an ordinary spectator, and then quietly walk away.At 9.40 a.m., guest vehicles began entering the premises. My car was scheduled to arrive before ten.Lucas stood up, his palms slick with cold sweat from sheer nervousness. This was his most meticulously prepared attempt yet.No delayed traffic, no last-minute

Even after the divorce officially took effect, Lucas still couldn't completely let go of that elusive final meeting.He stopped tracking down my private whereabouts, but he kept a close eye on the public tour dates released for my picture book project.The first stop was in Lanford.He arrived a day early, even walking the route from his hotel to the venue by following his GPS. That night, however, a main pipe burst, forcing the organizers to switch venues at the last minute.Staff members posted a notice right below the old announcement board, but the gushing water quickly soaked the paper, smudging the handwriting beyond recognition.By the time the online information was updated, the sharing session had already wrapped up. When he finally rushed to the new location, he caught sight only of the staff dismantling the backdrop bearing my name.The second stop was Alicante.He bought a front-row ticket, double-checking in advance that I would definitely be attending the book sign

When the divorce proceedings reached the final stage, the court arranged for both parties to be questioned separately.To avoid any confrontation, Emma’s appointment was scheduled for 9 a.m., while Lucas’ was set for 10.30 a.m.This arrangement had been proposed by Ava from the very start.Lucas didn't object, nor did he question why a married couple getting a divorce couldn't even see each other face-to-face like he used to.He simply checked all the legal documents three times the night before, making sure he wouldn't miss a single signature. He refused to let Emma stay tied to this marriage for even one extra day.So he arrived an entire hour early.Not to trap her or block her way, but out of fear that an unexpected delay might occur on the road and stall the signing.As the elevator rose to the sixth floor, the cabin suddenly lurched to a dead halt.A technician's voice came through from outside, announcing a sensor failure that required a system reboot.Watching the cloc

Lucas arrived in South City two days before the art exhibition opening.He checked all the public exits of the gallery in advance, even booking a hotel room across the street with a direct view of the main entrance.On opening day, he was already sitting in the first-floor lobby at 6 a.m.The security staff changed shifts twice, yet he never left his spot.When staff members asked if he needed early access, he shook his head, repeatedly folding and refolding an apology letter in his hands.The letter contained no pleas for forgiveness, nor did it list the heavy prices he had paid.He simply admitted his mistakes point by point—breaking their anniversary dinner plans, indulging Ben as he destroyed her grandmother's silver comb, choosing to believe Hallie when Emma was hurt, and letting her walk away alone that final morning.He brought no flowers or expensive gifts. All he had was a sincere apology letter in his pocket that he had rewritten countless times.Even if he was destin
