I Left My Stingy Fiancee のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Today, for the sake of marrying Jessica Little, I, Hunter Ludwig, had taken half the day off work.This was what I ended up encountering instead.I hailed a cab and headed back to the office. From a distance, I saw Jessica and Henry Kirby wandering around a nearby food street.Jessica was acting like an ATM. Whatever Henry took a fancy to, she bought for him.I'd never received that kind of treatment.It wasn't until midnight that Jessica finally came home.There was a blissful smile on her face the entire time.The moment she turned on the light and saw me sitting on the couch, her smile disappeared."Why are you sitting in the living room with the lights off?""I was waiting for you. Where were you this afternoon?""At work. Where else would I be?"She turned her back to me as she changed her shoes.She was the same as always. Whenever she lied, she couldn't bring herself to look me in the eye."I went back to the office this afternoon. You weren't there."Jessica raise

"If we don't give him a chance to make mistakes, how is he supposed to grow? Everyone starts out not knowing anything and learns along the way," Jessica added.That wasn't true. Back then, when my proposal had clearly been better than those of the senior employees, she had still given the senior employees the lead, saying it was about showing respect to those who had been there longer.Now, with Henry, she had suddenly adopted a completely different standard. Apparently, I was the only one who was supposed to take the fall.Henry stood up awkwardly and waved his hands. "Ms. Little, you're giving me too much credit. I was only throwing ideas out there. How could that possibly count as a proposal? Mr. Ludwig still needs to oversee the project."Jessica dismissed his concerns. "He's the team lead. He's merely the one who makes the final call. His team handles all the details of the project. Don't make him out to be some incredible person. Anyone sitting in that position could come up

"I didn't forget that I promised to treat your friends to dinner tomorrow. I've already made a reservation. Just go there and ask for the room directly."She sent me the restaurant's address. It was an expensive place.The next day, all my friends gathered in the private room.They looked around in disbelief. "No way. Jessica is so stingy. Did she really agree to treat us to a meal here? This place must cost at least fifty bucks per person."I smiled and told them some good news. "She's not paying. I am. I received a transfer order from headquarters. I'm going to be the general manager in Astarville City."My friends were thrilled. "Congratulations! Doesn't that mean you'll be on the same level as Jessica now? But you'll have to be in different cities. Have you told Jessica yet?"I shook my head and was about to speak when my phone rang.The screen displayed a single name.[Jessica.]When I answered, the voice on the other end belonged to Henry."Don't wait for her. She's not

Even if she didn't know what Henry had said to me, the things she'd done to hurt me before were, in her eyes, nothing more than trivial matters.Thinking about it now, that made sense.I was only a replacement, someone she didn't love.Of course it was merely a trivial matter.I didn't care anymore. None of it had anything to do with me now.I had moved into a completely new work environment.I was no longer working under Jessica.Over the years, I'd accomplished quite a lot.Now, I could finally stand on my own.After getting used to my new role, I immediately reached out to my former subordinates. Once they agreed, I submitted their transfer requests to headquarters.Some of them stayed in their original positions because of their families, but quite a few followed me to Astarville City.What I never expected was for Jessica to follow me to Astarville City too."Why did she come here?""No idea. I heard she took leave to come."Jessica approached me with dark circles un

Henry thought Jessica was finally going to agree to be with him.Instead, he heard her say coldly, "I'll notify HR that you're fired. From now on, you'll have to make your own way. You and I have nothing to do with each other.""Jessica!" Henry hurried after her. "You can't do this to me!"Jessica coldly shook off his hand. "As your senior, I've already done more than enough for you. If you keep making a scene, don't blame me for what happens next."Jessica forcefully shook Henry off and once again set out on the path of pursuing me.She deliberately accepted an assignment in Astarville City.She believed I had a soft heart, and as long as she kept pursuing me, we would eventually get back together.I brought Mom to live with me.Jessica had returned yet again.When she realized she couldn't win me over, she started trying to win over Mom instead.Whenever she had free time, she went to Mom's place and showered her with attention. The woman who had once been reluctant to buy
