Chapter 5

Penulis: Egg Yolk
It was noon the next day when my flight landed. The company's overseas project would last for 18 months in a country with a weak basic power facility.

I turned on my phone, and numerous notifications popped up. I had dozens of missed calls from an unknown number, which also sent me several texts. Based on the tone of those texts, I could tell they were from Josie.

[What do you mean by this, Sam?]

[Why did you block my number when I told you to come pick me up in two days?]

[Where are you?]

  • Picked Up Fiancée as a Wedding Driver   Chapter 10

    The house was eventually sold off. The realtor even asked me, "Why would you sell it when you've renovated it so nicely?"I replied, "I don't want to stay here anymore."However, I still had many things kept at that house. It had clothes that my mother tailored halfway for my father, pictures of our family of three, and the furniture I bought for after Josie and I got married.Unfortunately, there was no reason to force myself to live in this house when it had been sullied by someone else. After the house was sold, I bought a smaller house for my father that was closer to the hospital and my company. The overseas project I worked on was a success, and I was promoted when I returned. I had rejected the offer to work on the project once because of Josie, but the project returned to my hands after some twists and turns.Now, I no longer needed anyone's permission to go wherever I wanted, and I did not need to consider anyone's plight of waiting for me for 18 months if I accepted a

    The fiasco at our home had been turned into a video clip, which became evidence in the end. When I was away at work overseas, my aunt helped me hand the evidence over to the lawyers. I was back this time to attend the last session of mediation.William was there as well. The arrogant look he gave me 18 months ago was no longer there. "It's been a long time, Sam. It's about time you stopped this shenanigan."Before I could reply, the clacking of high heels was heard from outside the door, and Josie entered the room. William's face fell. "What are you doing here?""I'm here as a witness." She handed something to the lawyer. "I was present on that day, and I saw everything. I know who made the first move and who pushed Sam to the ground."William stared at her. "Are you coming at me because of him, Josie?"Josie did not look at him. "I'm just making up for what I failed to do then.""Can you even make it up?" William suddenly laughed. "Sam doesn't even want you anymore."Josie turn

    My flight home landed 18 months later, and I walked toward the airport lobby while pulling my luggage behind me. I spotted my father right away.It had been more than a year since I had seen him, and he had more gray hair than he did before. Despite that, he looked quite high in spirits, and the fracture on his wrist had healed. I approached him with a smile. "Dad.""You're home.""I'm home."He wanted to help me with my luggage, but I refused. "I can carry the luggage myself.""Do you think I'm still a patient? You can think that when I'm 70." He laughed as he rebuked me light-heartedly."Sam." I stopped in my tracks and turned to see Josie standing in the crowd. She had lost a lot of weight in the past 18 months. She had no makeup on, and she was not specially dressed for the occasion. All she did was stand where she was while gripping her phone.My father glanced at her and said nothing.Josie approached me slowly. "You're back.""Yup."She probably did not expect my rep

    A month passed, and it was soon the new date of our wedding after Josie and I postponed the previous wedding. I received an email from her at 6:00 am. [It's supposed to be our wedding day today.]At noon, she wrote another email to me. [I'm outside the hotel entrance.]Josie emailed me a picture at 11:51 pm. It was a picture of the empty venue where the tables and chairs had been rearranged for the next event. [I've waited the entire day.]At 12:01 am, she sent the last email: [The day has passed.]I did not reply. Time passed as work became busy. Three months passed, and soon it was six months later. On the day of my mother's death anniversary, I had a work meeting. My father shared a picture of an extra bouquet on my mother's grave. I glanced at it and texted him: [Did she come by?]My father replied: [Yup.]That night, he called me. "Josie waited for me a long time at the cemetery." I remained silent."She said she wanted to see your mother.""Did you let her?"

    Seven days after I left the country, a mutual friend shared a clip with me. [Take a look at this. Josie had a falling out with William.]Initially, I had no interest in watching it, but his text ended with, [It was because of you.]This prompted me to click on it, and an image of a gate to a residential area was shown. Josie had gotten out of a car, and William chased after her, trying to put his hand around her shoulder, but she dodged his hand suddenly. "Don't touch me."William was taken aback. "Josie?""Don't touch me from now on," she said coldly. "And we shouldn't keep in touch anymore."William's face fell. "What do you mean? We didn't do anything when Sam was around, and now that he's gone, you're starting to draw the line with me?"Josie said nothing and turned to leave, but William blocked her way. "We've already gotten married and even kissed each other. I've even stayed at your house. What are you trying to prove now that he's gone?"She jerked her head up to look

[Do you really not want me anymore?]I blocked the number after reading all the texts.That night, my aunt gave me a video call. S
