Semua Bab The Wind Between Our Goodbye: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I dined alone in the restaurant.My stomach was full, but my heart felt hollow.When I returned home, I printed the divorce papers. I was just about to sign them when my phone vibrated.Josie Law sent me a screen recording of a video call. In the video, she and Xander Christian were standing on the deck of a luxury cruise ship. On the other end of the line were their friends cheering with admiration."A trip to Antartrica? That costs at least 100 thousand! Xander had never once taken Josephine on even a 10-thousand-dollar trip, right?""He spends money on where his love is!""It's surprising that Josephine didn't even make a scene this time. She even liked the post!"Josie said in a feigned huff, "Of course she did. She even asked Xander for a divorce."The other friends erupted in shocked gasps."Josephine used to only throw small tantrums, and now, she'd even dare bring up divorce? She's not serious, is she?""Of course not," Xander replied calmly. "She just wants me to go

Josie.Xander was sitting opposite her. Even with his back facing me, I could sense how tender he was with her.He even carefully de-shelled a lobster for her before feeding her.She opened her mouth to eat, as though it was all natural."My gosh! It still tastes the same as it did over ten years ago! Nothing has changed! I really like it!" She smiled in delight, looking at Xander.Xander jokingly said while continuing to de-shell the lobster, "I didn't change either. Do you like it?"Suddenly, he stiffened, showing his nervousness.Josie blinked at him in bafflement before pouting, saying, "You liar! You've changed! You have Josephine!"She added, "Be honest! The rotating restaurant, aquarium, and the cruise by the river–we've had so many memories here. Did you take her to any of them?"She sounded smug, as if she already knew the answer. She cast a glance at me from the corner of her eye."I've never. Not once," answered Xander without any hesitation.My nails dug into my

"Xander, I'm really scared! Please come quickly!"The moment Josie hung up, she immediately dropped the act. She snickered and made another phone call."How's it going? Did that witch Josephine proceed with it?"The person on the other end of the line replied ingratiatingly, "Don't worry, Ms. Law. I had been keeping my eye on her. After Mr. Christian left, she got the divorce certificate. They're no longer tied to each other."Josie beamed, delighted. "She sure knows her place. Thank you."If it were not for a spy watching out for her, Josie would not have gotten the timing to distract Xander at the right moment.Of course, she thought that this was a little bit of an overkill, because she was more than confident that the person Xander loved was her. He had been her lapdog ever since they were young.She heard that he was the one who booked the divorce appointment. She only decided to get him away just to be safe.After all, her sixth sense told her that somehow Xander had chan

When Xander came to his senses, he realized that Josie was no longer next to him.She had just returned from the south-facing master bedroom, smiling widely."The layout of the master bedroom is really nice. The closet is huge, too. With just a little bit of renovation, it'll be so comfortable to live in."Josie had not heard what Xander said at all. She was scanning the place as if she were already the mistress of the house.Her satisfaction only increased the more she looked around. She was also really happy with her Xander, who had improved so much, so quickly.Suddenly, their phones vibrated.It was an invitation from their friend groups to play 'Truth or Dare' together.Xander was a workaholic in the past, so most of his time was spent at work trying to get promoted. He was often absent from outings among old friends.However, ever since Josie returned to the country, Xander had attended almost every single one of them.That day, Xander hesitated for a while before saying

"Josie, are you really just going to let him go?"Back at the party, Josie crossed her arms across her chest, looking unhappy.She scoffed and said, "Even if he left, he won't be able to see Josephine.""What do you mean?" Everyone was confused.Josie waved her phone. "I have a spy who told me that Josephine didn't cancel the divorce. She went through with it and got the divorce certificate."She added, "Besides, she already packed up and left."Everyone was in an uproar."Are you for real? Josephine loves Xander to death! She'd really do that?""Yeah! I mean, Xander is so successful. She had been with him all these years, suffering. Now she gets to finally reap the rewards, and she's giving it up? How foolish is she?""Is she running away just so Xander would chase her?"Josie's expression darkened as she heard what they said. "She's always been a foolish one, no match for me. Xander's only feeling guilty toward her after she got hurt, mistaking this feeling for love. He's s
