On the day I sold my house, my best friend asked me. “Aren’t you getting married soon? Why are you selling your new home?” I signed the transfer agreement and replied, “Because I’m breaking up with him.” We were supposed to buy a particular couch for our new home. Caleb Graham said he had not managed to snag it yet, so he asked me to wait a little longer. Then, I saw that very couch in Claire Silva’s Stories. She had specifically tagged Caleb. [It’s the one I’ve been waiting for so long! He still knows me so well!] In the comments section, Caleb simply replied, [Don’t mention it.] That was followed by a bunch of trivial chatter between the two of them. I stared at that Stories post for a long time. Then, I canceled the order for the matching pajamas. I scrolled back through my order history. I had ordered over a hundred packages. They were all for furnishing our new home. At first, Caleb would enthusiastically pick things out with me. Later on, he did not even bother to reply to my messages. It was because Claire, his first love, had gotten divorced. His attention toward me and our new home had shifted elsewhere. “If a buyer contacts us, I’ll let you know right away.” The real estate agent slid his business card across the table. I reached out to take it. Then, I cast one last glance at this place. ‘Caleb, I admit that I regret it,’ I thought. Seven years had passed, and I no longer wanted to build a home with him.

Chapter 1

I received a message from the law firm’s HR department.

[Does the attorney, Mr. Caleb Graham, know you’re planning to resign?]

[He doesn’t need to know.]

After replying to HR’s message, I pushed open the front door to my home.

Claire Silva was sitting in the massage chair I had bought, holding a cup of hot cocoa.

She was chatting happily with Caleb.

When he saw me, there was not a single trace of guilt on Caleb’s face.

He just said casually, “Claire is on her period and isn’t feeling well. We happen to have a massage chair at home.

“I plan to give this chair to Claire. We’re moving anyway, and we can’t take that much stuff with us.”

Claire smiled at me and said softly, “Thank you, Shannon.”

They seemed so at ease with each other that my joining them felt a bit abrupt.

After thinking it over, I decided to wait until it was just the two of us to tell him about the breakup.

It would be a dignified way to end our seven-year relationship.

I turned and walked into the bathroom.

While I was washing up, I booked my flight abroad.

Outside the door, the two of them were still talking. Occasionally, Caleb’s soft laughter filled the air.

I looked at the matching toothbrush cups sitting on the sink. For a moment, I could not remember the last time Caleb had been so cheerful when talking to me.

It seemed to be last month on our anniversary. In a rare move, Caleb got off work early and treated the entire law firm to a team-building outing.

On the way there, he talked more than usual.

He was even gentler with his subordinates.

When I saw his playful expression, I thought he was just happy about our anniversary.

I could not help but laugh along with him.

However, the very next second, Claire appeared on the scene, soaking wet.

I instinctively looked at Caleb, but he acted even faster than I did.

He took off his jacket, strode over, wrapped it around Claire, and led her away.

It was only then that I realized Caleb had been so happy because Claire had just gotten divorced.

They did not come back that night. I forced myself to hold back my sadness and hosted the rest of the team-building event for him.

Afterward, I went home alone amid a sea of sympathetic glances.

Looking back, I realize I should have broken up with him that very day.

It was just that I was unwilling to accept it, so I dragged things out until today before I could finally let go.

At 7 p.m., Caleb invited Claire to stay for dinner.

I did not join them; instead, I turned and went back to my bedroom.
