Love Ends at the First Snowfall のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

By the time the police found me, I could no longer walk on my own.The ambulance arrived at the county hospital, and the on-duty doctor cut open my soaked pant legs and asked me where my family was.I gave Lindsay Zane's number.The nurse called twice, but no one answered.The third call finally got through, but it was Liam Stewart on the other end of the line. "Lindsay is taking a bath. Myles Scott, why did you call the police? She just wanted you to calm down. If you keep behaving like this, you'll get her questioned by the police."The nurse's expression changed slightly. "The patient's body temperature is too low. His family needs to come over immediately."Liam chuckled softly. "Myles, you know that Lindsay has an important meeting tomorrow. Stop scaring her with your health. You've been married for years. This trick no longer works."The call was hung up.I lay on the ER bed, my fingers still curled as I gripped my phone.The doctor said I might have had cardiac arrhythm

When I arrived at the cabin, my father's wooden sign had already split in two.The foreman recognized me and hurriedly explained, "Ms. Zane said to clear all the old things. We didn't know it was yours."I crouched down to pick it up. The wooden thorns pierced into the palm of my hand, oozing tiny drops of blood.When my father handed the inn over to me, he had written a sentence on the back of the sign: [Come and stay for one night when you're tired, Myles.]The handwriting had been washed away by the rain, but I still recognized each stroke.Liam followed and stood outside the door without entering. "Myles, don't blame Lindsay. It was I who wanted a place to paint snow scenes. She thought this place was suitable and had someone tidy it up.""Get out.""I can move elsewhere," he suggested while sweeping his gaze over the newly replaced easels and carpets in the room. "It's just that Lindsay had paid a year's renovation fee in advance for me. The money will go to waste if we sto

The manor gate closed behind me.Alexa opened the car door for me. "All the luggage has been moved out of the Zane family's estate. Should we go to the apartment in the city or directly to your aunt's house?""The apartment.""What about the cabin?""I'll reclaim it tomorrow morning."The car left the mountain road, and I never looked back.An hour later, Lindsay finished the opening reception. She returned to the lounge and saw the divorce papers on the table. Her expression did not change much.Liam followed her. "Myles really left? Should we send a driver to go after him?""No." Lindsay turned to the last page of the agreement. My name was already signed. She let her fingers linger on the date for a while before closing the document. "He goes to a hotel for two days every time he's upset. He'll come back when he's had time to think things through.""But he left the wedding ring there.""He also took it off when we argued last year."She spoke firmly but took the ring ou

On the day of the divorce mediation, Lindsay was 20 minutes late. She saw me in the corridor, and her pace quickened noticeably. "Why did you change your number?""My old number was on our family plan. I deactivated it.""You could've transferred it to your own name.""That wasn't necessary."She seemed to have something else to say, but Alexa had already pushed open the mediation room door.The mediator asked both of us what we wanted.I said, "Divorce."Lindsay said, "I disagree."Her voice faded away, and for the first time, I looked seriously at her. "Why?""We haven't reached the point where we need to divorce."“Abandoning me on a freezing night, taking my father's belongings, unlawfully occupying property I owned before marriage, forging authorization documents. Which one of those isn't enough?”"I'll handle these matters." Lindsay slid a document across the table.The authorization to use the cabin had been voluntarily revoked, and the manor was assuming full liabil

"No."Liam's eyes were red. "She clearly loves you. She just didn't know how to treat you well before." I looked at him. "When someone is drowning, it's pointless for those on the shore to debate whether they love that person or not."Lindsay came from the end of the corridor. Liam immediately grabbed her sleeve. "Lindsay, my sister's death anniversary is approaching. You promised to accompany me to see the snow on the mountains." She looked down at his hand for a moment. Every time he mentioned Starley, she would give in. This time, she slowly withdrew her sleeve. "I'll visit her grave, but I won't accompany you anymore." "Why?" "It's because what I owe is to her, not you." Liam's face turned ghastly pale. He still wanted to speak, but the staff had informed him to go for questioning. Lindsay walked up to me and handed over the signed divorce papers. "The authorization of the cabin has been revoked. The manor will no longer touch it." "Okay." "The fragments of
