What Use Is a Belated Love? Chapter 17
Amy's parents brought her body back with them after her death.They knew about her affair with Mason, and they were immensely mad at him. They wouldn't stop yelling at him and cursing him as soon as they caught sight of him.They thought that he was the direct cause of her death and sued him, demanding that he compensate them for everything they lost, including their daughter.Mason paid them 10 million dollars to settle things out of court and to keep their mouths shut.Meanwhile, I stayed cooped up inside my apartment for half a month without ever setting foot outside the door.Austin knew that I was in a terrible mood and tried everything in his power to cheer me up.I didn't feel as lonely with him keeping me company. Instead, I began to realize that life was getting more meaningful for me too.Although Mason and Amy's incident had deeply traumatized me, I chose to ignore it altogether. However, I still hadn't managed to get my divorce certificate yet, and I couldn't help

Amy's gaze wavered like she was considering Mason's words.Just as Mason was about to reach me, Amy suddenly jumped back to her senses and pointed the knife at him instead."You were the one who killed my baby! I'm going to kill you too, once I'm done with her!"Mason stopped dead in his tracks, afraid to move forward. "I know. I admit that I was wrong. If you want revenge, then take it out on me. Don't hurt her," he said.Amy laughed when she heard him say that."She doesn't want you anymore, Mason Longbright! Tell me, do you think this is your karma for being heartless?"Mason nodded. "It's my karma."Amy stopped laughing. Her expression then turned stern as she said, "That's not enough! I'm going to make you pay with your life for my unborn baby too!"Then, she pointed at the edge of the building and barked, "Go ahead, jump! I'll let her go if you jump down now!"Mason just glanced at the edge of the building and remained rooted to his spot.Amy began laughing again, sou

My lips curled in mockery."But you can't even get it up for me."Mason shuddered, his face first turning red and then white.I'd struck him where it mattered the most, and he didn't have any way to defend that.I chuckled coldly and raised my voice, saying, "For the past five years, I felt as though I was in a loveless marriage, Mason Longbright. I felt like a widow. I had thought of giving you a chance in the past, but you wasted it."I've suffered too much both emotionally and physically for all these years. The only memories you left me with are painful ones. There's nothing worth remembering at all."I only left because I was thoroughly exhausted with putting up with you."I hope that you will let me go. Ending this marriage is the best and only choice for us now."This is the final time I am meeting you. In other words, I'm also warning you that you are never to look for me again. Go back and sign the divorce papers. Let us go our separate paths instead."I then stood up

Mason's face turned as white as a sheet. He began trembling all over in anger.His eyes filled with rage. Suddenly, he shot to his feet and raised both his fists in the air as he rushed at us.I knew then that his mania was recurring once again.I immediately shoved Austin out of the way. However, I forgot to duck myself.When I saw that Mason's fist was about to hit me, I shut my eyes and braced myself for the blow. Yet all that brushed my face was the rush of air. I opened my eyes again and saw Mason trying his best to control his fists. It was written all over his face—he was fighting with everything in him not to hurt me. The veins on his forehead stood out like they were about to burst. This was the first time I'd ever witnessed him stop himself from lashing out during a manic episode.But a second later, Mason suddenly rushed toward the wall, let out a guttural roar, and slammed his head against it over and over. Everyone around us froze in shock. I sighed and pulled

The corners of my lips curled up in a smirk. I looked at Mason disdainfully and said, "The person who changed was you. I never did. The only thing I ever did was to hide my true self just to accommodate you."Mason frowned, a flash of disappointment appearing in his eyes. "But I prefer the older version of you."I didn't even bother looking at him anymore and said coldly, "Too bad. The old me died a long time ago, ever since you began seeing other women."He was dazed and hung his head in remorse. "It was my fault."I was shocked to see him admitting his fault and apologizing to me so readily. What on earth had happened to him?I knew that he had been searching for me for a long time, but I refused to believe that he would cast his ego aside and lower his head before me, trying to placate me or something.I waved my hand at him in frustration, my voice sharp as I snapped, "Stop getting in my way."Mason looked up at once, looking at me calmly and saying, "Michelle, can't we just

Aside from that, someone also kept sending me flowers and snacks every once in a while. I'd also get text messages from an unknown number asking me if I was well.Even though the items were sent anonymously and I never actually saw the person, I knew that it had to be Austin.This was the first time someone had ever shown so much care and concern toward me, and it stirred up a warm feeling inside my heart.Eventually, I stopped resisting him and just accepted his goodwill. In fact, I found myself looking forward to it at times.Yet, I never took it a step further with him.One day, Austin came waiting at the ground floor of my apartment with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.I went down to meet him and took the flowers from his hand like I was already used to it. I sniffed at them and asked, "What, you're not asking someone else to give it to me anymore?"Austin looked at me fondly and replied, "Moving forward, I'll be the only one giving them to you now, for as long as you like
