Chapter 1

[Please don’t contact me.]Those words pierced through my heart like a dagger. I was hurt. I had always known that Luna Reid had an ex-boyfriend. However, I did not know that she viewed him as the one that got away. I wanted to call her and question her. But in the end, I merely acquiesced. I did not expect her to immediately call me in the next second. Her voice sounded indifferent. “Are you mad?”I pursed my lips. I was just about to speak when my laptop had a notification sound. Julian Anderson wrote another comment. [As long as I can be with you, I don’t care what others say or think.]Even though Luna was on the phone with me, she still replied to that comment instantaneously. [Even if I can only spend another short two weeks with you, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.]I heard her typing over the phone. I felt a lump in my throat. I was really upset. I did not say another word. Instead, I immediately ended the call. The plane landed. After I

Chapter 2

Mr. Ford said the last sentence meaningfully, as though he was implying something. My mind immediately went blank. Luna had never been sent overseas. She was in the same city all along. Why did she not return home then?Where had she been for the past three years?A ridiculous yet clear guess formed in my mind immediately. My body turned cold. Without any hesitation, I immediately bought flight tickets home. After travelling for more than ten hours straight, I felt extremely tired. Even so, I still could not shut my eyes to rest. Whenever I shut my eyes, I was overwhelmed by all the emotions. After I landed, I switched on my phone. There were a dozen missed calls. They had all been from Luna. Initially, I wanted to ignore the calls. However, another call came through the next second. I had just answered the call when she questioned me angrily. “Declan, why were you not answering my calls? Why are you throwing a tantrum?“I told you I was forced to cancel my t

“Which research center would that be?”As I did not want to give in, I persisted in asking. I heard a male voice saying, “Luna, please don’t be angry. Something urgent must’ve happened with Declan for him to look for you.“We’re going on our trip tomorrow. You should settle everything by today.”Luna finally suppressed her anger. She said in a slightly irritated tone, “Declan, I know it’s my fault for not keeping my promise, but my project is really urgent.“After this project ends, I’ll submit my time-off report again to go back home to spend some time with you.”“Luna.”My voice was very soft. “I called your supervisor, and he said that they never even had an overseas assignment.“So where have you been in the past three years? Who are you living with?”I had spoken every single word through gritted teeth. Luna suddenly sounded a little frantic. She stayed quiet for a really long time. At one point, I even thought she would just end the call. Finally, in seemingly

Chapter 4

She had even thrown the cup away right in front of me. At that moment, I suspected that she did not dislike pistachio. Instead, she disliked me. However, she was willing to shell pistachios for Julian. Love was not just a word. It had to be carried out with actions. I did not believe in a single word Julian had said. Compared to my complexion, his complexion was extremely rosy. If he said he had a terminal illness, I would be a corpse by comparison. I glanced at the hospital name on the report and immediately turned my car around. An hour later, I came out from the hospital and drove to Luna’s research center. I heard from her colleagues that she had indeed taken time off for two weeks. However, the person she was spending time with was not me. I forced a smile and told one of her colleagues that I was simply collecting something for her. Her colleague did not sense anything amiss. She led me to Luna’s desk. On Luna’s desk, the wedding photo that I had place

However, she was rotten to the core. Luna avoided my gaze and reached out to grab my arm. “Don’t you want an explanation? Follow me, let’s go home now. I’ll explain it all to you.”The moment she leaned in, I smelt cologne on her. I was nauseated, and I almost threw up. I flung her hand away forcefully. “Don’t touch me, I’m disgusted by you!” Luna’s face became pale. Her lips were trembling. “Declan, what are you talking about?“I told you that I’ll explain it to you after we go home. What else do you want from…”Before she finished speaking. Mr. Ford walked out from the research center. He saw me standing next to Luna, so he was very pleased. “Declan, you’re a good man. I only dropped you a single hint, and you immediately came back to the country to visit Luna. “It’s no wonder Luna asked for a two-week long holiday. It turns out that you’ll be spending some time together.“You haven’t seen each other in so long! What are you standing here for? You should go ho

Mr. Ford was afraid that the situation would escalate, so he still sent Julian to the hospital. However, on the way there, he no longer looked at Luna kindly as he always did before. Even though everyone said that he was old, it did not mean he could not tell the obvious. However, Luna did not care how Mr. Ford looked at her. Ever since she saw the journal that she had hidden in her research lab, she had been absent-minded. Her face immediately turned pale, and she could not hide the panic in her eyes. “Declan… you read my journal?”I did not deny it. “How could you do that? You’re invading my privacy!” I finally looked at her as I said coldly, “If I hadn’t looked at your journal, how would I know that not only is my wife living with another man behind my back, but that she also had a child with him?”After I said that, everyone in the ambulance became quiet. Mr. Ford snorted coldly. “Luna, what exactly is going on?“We may be researchers, but how we conduct ours

“Stop it, stop reading it!” Luna screamed and snatched the journal away from me. Then, she rolled down the window and threw it away. I did not stop Luna. Instead, I looked at her coldly. She could discard and destroy the journal, but it did not erase the past. The hurt she had caused me was irreversible. Besides, I had already taken photos of all the content in that journal.Luna looked at me with teary eyes. I no longer looked at her. Instead, I leaned back against the seat and shut my eyes. I had not slept for almost three full days. My body was extremely exhausted, but my brain was strangely alert. When Luna saw that I no longer wanted to speak, she did not force a conversation. Only the beeping sound from the medical equipment could be heard in the ambulance. Very soon, we arrived at the hospital. After the doctor ran a thorough examination on Julian, he glared at us furiously. “What nonsense is this?“If this is just an act, please don’t simply call an

Chapter 8

It was Luna. When I saw her standing at the door looking uneasy, I mocked her. “Ah, so you know your way back home.“Good timing, I’ve already packed up all your stuff. You can just take them away.”Luna pretended that she had not heard that. Instead, she spoke to me with teary eyes. “Declan, don’t act this way. I’m scared.“Please calm down, alright? I’m here tonight to talk to you.”After hearing that, I sneered. Then, I sat on the couch and lit a cigarette. In the past, I knew Luna did not like the smell of cigarettes, so I had never smoked at home. Even when I smoked outside, I would clean myself up in the washroom to make sure I no longer smelled before I entered our bedroom. I was afraid that she would be upset. However, her emotions no longer had anything to do with me. “Luna, we’ve been married for five years, and I never once did you any wrong throughout.”My voice was hoarse, and I was not sure if it was from smoking or from my exhaustion. “I loved you

Chapter 9

I picked up a pen and wrote on the paper. With every stroke, I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. I had loved Luna for ten years. My biggest wish in the past was to be with her forever. However, I could only end the marriage. Luna suddenly rushed over and hugged me from the back. She sobbed violently. “Declan, please don’t do this. Please, please don’t divorce me.“I’ve learned from my mistake. I won’t do that again, please forgive me, alright…”I carefully pried her fingers away as I looked down. My voice was cold. “Sign the papers. Then, leave with your belongings. “I will no longer stay in this neighborhood. Tomorrow, an agent will come over and view the house.“Don’t you want to spend the rest of your life with Julian? I’ll make it come true.”However, Luna did not want to sign it. She tore the divorce papers into pieces and asked me to take some time to calm down before she ran away. I really could not understand her. Did she not want to spend the rest of

Chapter 10

She once thought that losing me would not affect her. But she felt her heart breaking after it happened. Too bad, it was all too late. She had lost the version of me who would always love her, cherish her, and forgive her no matter what she did. I did not know if she was trying to protect the very last bit of her dignity. Luna no longer continued her tantrum. Instead, she left. After that day, she stopped appearing. Three days later, the lawyer gave me a call and informed me that Luna had already signed the divorce papers. I met Luna one last time before the city hall. We were both calm. We were no longer fighting or crying. We completed the rest of the divorce proceedings like two strangers. The staff members passed us the finalized documents. The papers felt cold in our hands. I walked out, and the sun felt warm against my skin. Luna suddenly turned around and stared at me with teary eyes. “Declan, I’m sorry. “I wish you all the best for your future.”
