The Man Lost In the Snow Chapter 10
Six months later, my “Fragment” collection became a massive success and won the design of the year.At the award ceremony, the host smiled at me and asked, “Ms. William, many people have commented that your work carries a sense of rebirth, like rising from the ashes. Where does that strength come from?” I held the microphone and let my gaze drift across the audience. In a corner of the hall, I saw a familiar figure—Ethan. I heard that he and Jane had not been doing well. After realizing there was no way to win me back, Ethan eventually returned to her. However, his paintings stopped selling, money became tight, and the two of them began arguing constantly. What was even more ironic was that Jane’s miscarriage had nothing to do with him. The child was from her previous relationship with a gambling ex-boyfriend.Ethan lost it after that. In a moment of rage, he sent her to the intensive care unit. Jane, crying and furious, wanted to press charges, but Ethan insisted it was just a “

After we started dating, Ethan and I rented a tiny underground apartment. In winter, there was no heating, so he would tuck my feet into his arms, warming them slowly with his body heat. In summer, there was no air conditioning, so he would fan me all night long until I had fallen into a deep sleep. Back then, Ethan had eyes only for me.After graduation, I finally became a jewelry designer, just as I had always dreamed. However, Ethan refused to lower himself and work in a company. He had his own pride and principles, but life still had to go on. For a long time, none of his paintings sold, and all our living expenses fell on me. Yet, because there was still hope in my heart, even those hard days made me feel content.The day Ethan sold his first painting, he took me out and bought me a ring. It wasn’t expensive, but it was the thought that counted. On the way back, it started snowing. He held my hand tightly as snow fell all over us, covering his hair. For no reason at all, I felt

After that day, Ethan never came to see me again. Online, however, the discussion about the exhibition only grew louder. Some people called him a douchebag. Others painted me as the manipulative ex, scheming in the shadows to ruin his future.Jane, meanwhile, posted several times in a row, playing the victim. She shared photos of herself taking care of Ethan in the mountains, captioned:[Only those who’ve faced life and death together understand that some companionship is the salvation of the soul. As for those who only want to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor, I don’t blame you.]The fake innocence practically seeped through the screen.I stared at my phone and chuckled. I was already preparing to release the recording I had. However, Peter reached over and stopped me.“Not yet. If you release it now, they’ll just say it’s edited. Let the story build for a while longer.”“How much longer will that be?” I asked.“Once Ethan realizes that the ‘true love’ he believes in is nothin

After that night, rumors spread quickly through the circle about Ethan faking his death and pretending to have amnesia to abandon his fiancée. His paintings stopped selling. Several galleries that had signed with him quietly terminated their contracts.The art world may be chaotic, but reputation still mattered. If a man could abandon his own fiancée just to escape responsibility, how much sincerity could there be in his work?A week later, Ethan showed up downstairs at my company and stood in my way. He looked much more worn down than before, with faint stubble shadowing his jaw.“Lexie, we need to talk.”“I don’t have time,” I replied, trying to walk past him.He grabbed my wrist and said, “I just need five minutes! I’ll leave after that!”I glanced at the passersby around us, already pointing and whispering. Keeping my face cold, I nodded. “Fine. Five minutes.”We moved to a nearby park and sat on a bench.“Jane is pregnant.”The first thing he said made me freeze.“So?”

At that moment, Timothy, who had been silent all along, suddenly rushed forward, his brows tightly furrowed.“Lexie, stop making a scene! There is a lot of media and press here today. Do you really have to ruin Ethan’s career?”His voice was lowered, but the blame in it was unmistakable. “It wasn’t easy for him to start over. He and Jane are happy now. Why do you have to keep clinging to the past? Even if he does remember something, it’s because the past was too painful, and he doesn’t want to remember it! Can’t you be a little more forgiving? Let him go, and let yourself go too.”“Timothy,” I said coldly, meeting his eyes, “if the one who’d been abandoned today was your sister, would you still be so forgiving?”He choked on his words, his face flushing red. “That… That’s different!”“What’s different about it?”Peter stepped out from the crowd and came to stand beside me, his chilling gaze sweeping over the room. He sneered and looked straight at Ethan.“Mr. Ethan, is it really

Ethan stood among the crowd. The initial shock on his face had faded, leaving behind nothing but indifference. He looked at me quietly, saying nothing, his gaze dark and unreadable. The air between us grew tenser, but neither of us spoke. Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.Back when I first met Ethan, he had been just as cold. At the academy, I was a fallen heiress, barely scraping by under the weight of tuition and living expenses. Most nights, I stayed in the studio working part-time until it was almost empty. Ethan, on the other hand, was the most temperamental assistant instructor there. However, he was also the most talented.That night, the power went out in the studio. Everyone else had left, but I stayed behind, stubbornly working on an assignment under the dim glow of a streetlamp outside the window, just to save on electricity. I didn’t even notice when he walked up behind me.“The lighting’s off. The shadows are too harsh.”His voice came out of nowhere, and I
