The 99th Forgiveness Chapter 10
When I was tired, I would occasionally stay for a week in the small coastal fishing villages. A year passed, and I successfully became a partner at the law firm, with my career steadily rising.Everything was developing in a positive direction, except for the occasional glimpse of Frederick's sorrowful face downstairs, which dampened my mood.During our year of separation, Frederick received 99 copies of divorce papers but still refused to sign them. He seemed to want to summon the same shameless persistence he had used to pursue me originally, hoping to earn my sympathy and get me to reconcile with him again.Initially, my heart would still ripple with some emotion. However, after seeing messages from colleagues back home, I personally extinguished that damned sympathy.…Back home, Frederick had found my parents and told them everything, tearfully expressing his remorse. Yet, he forgot that children inherit their personalities from their parents.I had no tolerance for deceptio

"These past two years, I paid too much attention to Emma because I saw the you from nine years ago in her. I mistakenly thought I liked her."But I only realized that what I thought was love was just an illusion after you left. You have always been the person I've loved," Frederick said.I looked at him mockingly, suppressing the nausea churning in my stomach. The man's self-righteous declaration of love continued, "I've seen how you've performed all these years. Maybe your competence at work made me feel pressured. I felt like you had changed."You're more rational and assertive, like a cold, heartless machine. So, when Emma appeared, I unconsciously wanted to get closer to her. I seemed to see the you I first met in her…"Cece, I don't want a divorce, and I don't want to lose you either. Can you forgive me this once, considering I was willing to overcome my fear of flying to come find you?"As Frederick spoke, tears streamed down his face, but my heart felt only coldness. This w

Even for overseas business deals, Frederick would send me, his most trusted person, with contracts he had already signed to handle everything."What exactly happened? Why do you suddenly need to go abroad?" Edward pressed for details.Frederick remained silent for a moment, then let out a breath. "Cecilia left...""What?" Edward sounded shocked but surprisingly didn't ask for more details."Let me ask you something. These past two years, did you all think I crossed the line with Emma? Did you think I was unfair to Cecilia?"His words left his friend on the other end silent. Sometimes silence was the best answer."I understand," Frederick said with bitter resignation. "I was wrong. Ever since Emma appeared, I've been unconsciously drawn to her."Sometimes I feel like she's similar to Cecilia when she was younger—bright and confident. However, I shouldn't have confused them. These past two years, I used up all the 99 chances Cecilia gave me. I never thought about leaving her, but

Though Frederick kept trying to reassure himself, seeing my empty desk only made him more agitated. Even when handling work, he became distracted and careless.The unease in Frederick's heart grew heavier as he stared at my vacant workstation. Finally, he couldn't contain himself and called for the HR director, Cameron York."Mr. Morrison, do you have any work instructions?""Did Cecilia take a day off today?" Frederick looked at the documents in front of him, speaking casually.Cameron paused, looking at him with confusion. "Ms. Harper resigned.""What?" Frederick's pen stopped abruptly mid-signature, tearing through the white paper. "When did this happen? Who approved it? How was I unaware?"Cameron explained hesitantly, "She submitted it last night. You approved it this morning!"These words hit Frederick like a bolt of lightning, leaving him stunned on the spot. He immediately opened his computer and frantically scanned through the emails, his hands trembling as he clicked o

Frederick then froze in place once again. The wall-to-wall display cases were filled with gifts he had given me. However, upon closer inspection, he could see three identical jewelry sets placed in the center of the cabinet.One of them had a receipt dated yesterday.His mind involuntarily recalled the designer shawl he had sent to Emma. The moment he saw her delicate figure, he immediately had someone fly to Emaly to have it custom-made. It was delivered that very evening.Both in terms of value and sentiment, it far exceeded the entire cabinet of jewelry. At this moment, he fell into deep contemplation.When had his unique love for me become a cheap, repetitive appeasement?…That night, he sat in the living room and drank every bottle in the wine cabinet, but still couldn't find the answer he was looking for.The moment Frederick appeared at the company the next day, Emma followed him in. "Mr. Morrison, here's yesterday's contract."She placed the documents on the desk and c

I ignored my phone's vibrations and turned it off completely. From this moment on, my five-year marriage with Frederick was over.At the hotel, Frederick saw my message and began frantically texting me back."Divorce? Don't be ridiculous. How could all those reconciliation vouchers be used up so quickly?"Is it the gift? Don't you like it? I can pick out something else for you."Cecilia, answer the phone. Let's talk about this properly. Why did you turn off your phone? Are you really angry?"He refused to believe I would ignore him and kept calling me repeatedly. After hearing the cold, automated message for the 39th time, he finally began to panic."Impossible... It just can't be. Everything was fine when I left..."His mind began replaying how calm I had been when mentioning the reconciliation vouchers. It was the kind of calm that comes from having given up hope.At this thought, Frederick quickly grabbed his clothes and threw them on. Emma wrapped her arms around his neck,
