The Dare That Ended Us Chapter 9
At that moment, the boarding announcement echoed through the airport.Clara’s voice trembled with uncontrollable panic.“You’re going on a business trip, right?”Watching the hurried travelers weave past, my heart felt unusually calm.“I’m going to the Everton branch.”“How long?”“Three years.”Clara paused, then spoke, her tone careful, almost fragile.“Three years… three years isn’t very long… Travel is so convenient now, I can come see you, and I can wait…”“Wait for what?”Her voice hardened with a resolve I hadn’t heard before.“Nathan, when you come back, let’s get married. Okay?“Or… we can get married now.”I froze, letting the flood of emotions spill out.“Clara, do you know? Actually, for your birthday this year, I hid a diamond ring in the cake to propose to you.“But it got interrupted. That night, Ethan got rear-ended. “You panicked so badly, I had no choice but to follow you to check on him. When we arrived, he hadn’t even been scratched.”Her quiet, ch

Clara cared deeply about appearances.The last time she had come to my office on her own had already surprised me.By my understanding of her, that had been the greatest concession she could make.The last time, I had ended things without mercy; she should have no reason to linger anymore.Without a relationship, without life revolving around Clara, my time suddenly felt far more abundant.I threw myself into several new cases—two to three times my usual workload—and stayed late at the law firm every night.When one case concluded with a resounding victory, my superior called me in.“Recently, the company’s foreign cooperation projects have increased. I’m planning to station someone in Everton for three years. Are you interested, Nathan?“Of course, in three years, when you return, you’ll get a raise, at least a hundred dollars. I think your university major was exactly in this field, right?”In the past, I would have refused, unwilling to be so far from Clara.But now, I acc

Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot as he lowered his head and pressed his lips to Clara’s.He whimpered, crying aloud.“Stop deceiving yourself, will you?“Tell me—if you had so many suitors, why did you choose Nathan? Wasn’t it simply because he looked most like me among them?”Whether struck by the truth or something else, Clara offered no rebuttal.Her gaze darkened, fixed on Ethan, and she took the initiative kiss him.I had never seen Clara so passionate, so utterly consumed.In my memory, she was never a person of strong desire.Every act of intimacy between us had been limited by frequency and duration.We kissed every other day, never longer than a minute.We had sex once a week, never exceeding an hour.I had never witnessed this delirious, reckless side of her. It was unfamiliar, even alien to me.It wasn’t divine favor that led her to choose me; it was Ethan’s shadow.I had a face similar to his, and that alone had won me her choice.Pathetic.I knew this video cou

Clara froze for a moment before she realized what I had said.She looked at me in disbelief.“You’re breaking up with me? How far are you planning to go with this?” she asked.A trace of anxiety crept into her tone.“You weren’t always this unreasonable. Why now?”She genuinely seemed unable to understand why I wanted to end things.I spoke calmly, just as she had once been.“I won’t interfere while you and Ethan hook up with each other. Isn’t that better?”Perhaps my composed tone struck a nerve.Her voice suddenly rose. “Can you stop thinking so filthily?“That dare game that day…I only helped him out of friendship spanning so many years. Even if it stirred jealousy, there should be a limit.”I let out a bitter, sarcastic laugh.“Really? Just friends?“You’ve always had severe mysophobia, hated anyone touching your things. “Why can Ethan use your favorite cup? Why can he wear matching slippers with you? Why can he stay over?”Initially, I didn’t want to press her so

I left, while Ethan remained in Clara’s home.Continuing to entangle myself in this would only drag me deeper into the mire. At last, I gathered the courage to delete her from my contacts.It felt as though I were trying to erase the mark she had carved into my heart.Perhaps from the very beginning, our relationship had never been equal.Clara was the campus beauty, the most admired girl at school.Countless people pursued her.Among them were wealthy heirs who drove limited-edition Pagani supercars to campus and confessed their love in grand displays, only to be firmly rejected by her.I am a simple man. At best, people called me a top student; at worst, a bookworm.I was neither the richest nor the most handsome among her many suitors.All I possessed was a sincere heart.The moment she chose to be with me, I was so happy I nearly lost my mind.I believed it was heaven’s favor that made her choose me out of so many others.I feared that one day this stroke of luck wo

Ethan opened the door with his right hand. In his left hand, he held a cute ceramic mug and took a sip of water.On his feet were matching slippers—the same pair Clara had.I recognized the mug immediately. It was Clara’s favorite.Clara had severe mysophobia.Once, trying to accommodate her love of spicy food, I had added extra chili to a dish, only to choke on it myself.In a moment of panic, I grabbed her cup by mistake and took a drink.The next second, she threw the cup into the trash with visible disgust.She had warned me coldly, “Haven’t I told you I hate it when people touch my things? You’re such an idiot. Don’t let it happen again.”So, with Ethan, had all her principles simply vanished?Ethan looked at me and smiled with smug satisfaction.“Clara’s in the shower. Do you need something from her?”My face drained of color. The hand holding the food container trembled as though it had lost all strength.Had they just showered together?Had Ethan stayed the night
