Too Late for Spring Chapter 9
I looked at her flat stomach."I already got rid of the baby."Luna gave a bitter, broken smile and continued, "When my parents found out what I did, they were so ashamed of me that they kicked me out. Elodie, are you satisfied now?"Jonas had lost his position as heir to the Whitford Group, and Luna had become the target of everyone's scorn and condemnation. I had gotten everything I wanted. The 200,000 dollars in damages for emotional distress had already been deposited into my account.Yet if she was asking whether I felt satisfied, I honestly could not answer.Luna lifted her head and met my gaze. "Elodie, I've been thinking a lot lately. If we'd never met Jonas, maybe we'd still be best friends. Maybe we'd still be as close as sisters."I shut that idea down immediately."No. Even without Jonas, there would've been someone else. Just another Jonas wearing a different face."Luna, someone like you doesn't deserve friends because you don't have a heart."If I could really t

The corners of my lips curled into a smile as I looked at him with open mockery."What? Did you think I'd be falling apart by now? That one failed relationship would make me give up on myself and spiral into self-doubt?"Jonas opened his mouth. He did not say a word, but he did not deny it either.The room sat in silence for a long moment, and I quickly lost patience."Didn't you want to see me? Well, here I am. If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving."He looked up at me, despair filling his eyes."Elodie, what happened between Luna and me was an accident. So was the baby! Neither of us ever meant to hurt you."Back then, you were in such a dark place after your parents died. That was when Luna and I started spending more time together."One time, you'd had too much to drink. No, all of us had too much to drink. None of us were thinking clearly when it happened."Elodie, Luna tricked me. She said she'd pretend it never happened, but she wouldn't stop coming after me."I list

By the time I finished giving my statement at the police station, signed all the paperwork, and walked out, Luna was nowhere to be seen.Jonas had been taken into custody on the spot. The Whitford family hired the best legal team in the country to fight his case, and they even came looking for me.Before I could say a word, Jonas's mother, Constance Pellham, dropped to her knees in front of me."Jonas was wrong to lie to you. But you've pulled back in time, and you haven't really lost anything."You two were together for years. When you were at your lowest, he was the one who helped you get through it."When Jonas said he wanted to marry you, I looked down on your background, but I never stood in your way."Elodie, for my sake, and for the sake of everything you two once had, can't you let him go?"Every word came out choked with tears, as though Jonas's situation was somehow my fault. I stepped around her and sat down on the nearby couch, my expression completely blank."You k

At this point, Luna's voice softened. She reached for my hand, and the corners of her eyes reddened."Elodie, we can still go back to how things were, right?"She actually had the nerve to bring up the past."Get out!"Luna, I never want to see you again for the rest of my life."Luna froze at the coldness in my eyes and instinctively took several steps back. A flash of pain crossed Jonas's face, and he reached out to steady her."So what if we lied to you?"Elodie, be honest with yourself. When have we ever treated you badly?"Luna hasn't been able to eat or sleep because of this. I've been doing everything I can to make you happier."Both of us have been trying our best not to hurt you. Why can't you just let this go?""I told you a long time ago that Elodie is a cold-blooded viper!"You wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying her! Now look, everything's ruined! How are you supposed to protect Luna now?!"The future Jonas did not realize the present Jonas had already tak

The moment I finished speaking, Jonas's smile cracked, and the ugliness and hypocrisy he had been hiding underneath began to show. The corners of his mouth twitched as his eyes darted between the police officers and the reporter. His breathing quickened, his chest heaved, and a fine sheen of sweat broke out along his temples."Elodie? What are you doing?" He forced the terror in his eyes into a gentle, slightly helpless smile."Has all this happiness gone to your head? What bigamy? You're my only wife."Did Luna say something to you again? Don't believe her! You know she's never been on board with us. She'd love nothing more than to see us split up."Elodie, you can feel how much I love you, can't you?"I stared hard at his face. Even now, he was still trying to lie to me.In my ear, the future Jonas's voice shrieked like an air-raid siren, harsh and grating."What is that crazy woman up to now?"I told you not to keep her around! You wouldn't listen! What now? What about my Lu

On the day we went to get our marriage license, I followed Jonas out of the car.trailed behind me in a daze, tugging gently at my arm as though she wanted to say something but could not bring herself to do it."Elodie, maybe you should think this over a little more. Marriage is a big deal, after all."I shook off her hand coldly."I've already thought it through. Besides, today is a big day, so I'm waiting for some friends to come and be my witnesses."Jonas did not think much of it.People bustled around us. Some couples waited for their numbers to be called, while married couples in the divorce section could barely stand to look at each other.If I had not already known that Jonas had arranged all of this, I might actually have believed it.Every bit of it was an act put on for my benefit.Just as we were about to submit the paperwork, Luna suddenly announced that she was not feeling well and needed to use the restroom.The moment she left, Jonas's phone began to ring.I
