"But I no longer love you."His eyelashes trembled, as if he hadn't heard anything.He stood there, silently looking at me."Hailey, you've loved me for 12 years."I smiled sarcastically. "So what?"Chris's voice also became unsteady. "Hailey, please, don't leave me. Let's forget the bad things and start over, okay?"I looked into his eyes."You've already made me reliant on a hearing aid. Are you trying to take my life?"A flash of panic crossed Chris's eyes.He trembled as he crouched down, holding my hand."Hailey, what do you mean?"I pulled my hand away forcefully and took out a tissue to wipe it.Ignoring his pale face, I said nonchalantly, "I really never want to see you again."I looked up at the sky."I want to go find my mother. She is the only one who truly loves me."17After that day, I never saw Chris again.I also organized all the messages he had sent me recently and sent all the recordings of him pleading for reconciliation to Jasmine.Just like her p
Gratitude and love coexist. But now, I must move forward. Both people and time would always move on. That path wasn’t built by the fleeting and unstable nature of love, but by the indestructible skyscraper constructed from my thoughts. I would always be happy, relaxed, and free. As for Chris, there was no need to meet again in the future.Chris's Side Story:1. When Hailey left, I couldn't bear to open my eyes. I thought to myself that I truly couldn't watch her leave me. In an instant, a strong pain surged in my heart. Even my thoughts began to blur. I still remember the first time I saw her; she was only eleven. Her frail figure always timidly hiding behind Mrs. Summers. She didn't dare to look up at me. When reminded, she would only lower her head and whisper, "Chris." On the day Mrs. Summers passed away, Hailey stood frozen, her face blank, without a single tear. She looked like a doll that had suddenly lost its voice. There was no life left in her
She was like a brave girl, just awakening to love. Willing to try those thrilling things with me. When it came to explicit words of affection, she was completely unhesitant. As for Hailey, she would just blush and let me take the lead. There was no spark. Jasmine once asked me in a moment of passion, "Mr. Davis, aren't you afraid that Hailey will leave you if she finds out?" I didn't think twice before replying, "She won't. Because besides me, no one wants her." Then I froze. It turned out that I had always thought this way. When she looked at me, she was always gentle and forgiving, filled with love. Over time, I subconsciously believed that no matter what I did, she would always forgive me. She couldn't live without me because besides me, no one wanted her.4. I started to spoil Jasmine. My interactions with her were always filled with a surging yet secretive tide of emotions. I felt both stimulated and excited. However, I never expected Hailey would di
1. When I was half asleep, I heard a sharp ringing sound. It lasted only a few seconds before being cut off. But the caller was determined not to give up until I answered. The ringing continued. After a while, I heard Chris softly calling my name. "Hailey, are you asleep?" I kept my eyes closed and didn't respond. Then he gently lifted the blanket, got up, and walked out of the bedroom. When the door slammed shut, I realized how urgent his departure was. So I hesitated only briefly. I immediately got out of bed, got in the car, and followed him, wanting to see what was going on. When I saw a woman in sexy pajamas wrap her arms around Chris's neck, I froze. It was Jasmine Wood, Chris's secretary. During the second year of our marriage, Jasmine appeared by his side. She followed him everywhere for business negotiations. They fought side by side, and their relationship was beyond that of an employer and employee. But now... Jasmine smiled coyly at Chris
He frowned slightly, picked me up around the waist, and walked into the bedroom. "Why are you up so early?" I caught a strange sweet scent on him and slowly brushed his hands away. "Chris, where did you go yesterday?" He paused for a moment before explaining, "Something came up that needed handling. You were asleep, so I didn't wake you. It was quite late when I finished, so I just slept in the office." He smiled and pinched my cheek, his tone affectionate. "Did you miss me, Hailey?" I looked at him calmly. After a long pause, I took off my wedding ring and gently placed it in his palm. "Chris, let's get a divorce." The air froze for a moment, and Chris's expression changed. Emotion flickered in his eyes, and the hand holding the ring tightened into a fist. "Hailey, this joke isn't funny at all." I touched the cold hearing aid behind my ear. I never regretted taking that blow for him. I loved him, and I accepted it willingly. But last night's words, "a dea
I only felt a dense, throbbing pain spreading from my chest outward. Everything in front of me became blurry, and I suddenly lost consciousness. When I woke up again, bright lights were blinding me, and the air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant. "Hailey, you're awake." My best friend, Jane, was beside me, helping me sit up. "How do you feel?" I sensed a moment of hesitation in Jane's voice. "What happened to me?" Jane turned to me with a complicated look on her face and let out a heavy sigh. "You're pregnant." ‘I'm pregnant? Fate really likes to play games with me,’ I thought. Just when I discovered that Chris was cheating and decided to divorce him, I found out I was having his child. "Hailey, did something happen between you and Chris? You fainted by the side of the road. If I hadn't happened to look for you, who knows what might have happened." I slowly raised my head, my mind flooded with everything that had happened these past fe
"You just couldn’t control yourselves?" I repeated sarcastically. "From how skilled you look, I thought you were an escort." Jasmine's expression stiffened, and she suddenly burst into tears. "I just loved Mr. Davis too much, but I never meant to ruin your relationship." I remained silent, and she grabbed my arm, shaking it vigorously. "Hailey, I don't want anything, I just want to be by Mr. Davis's side." I turned to Chris, smirking mockingly. "You truly are passionate and loyal." I took a deep breath. "Chris, sign the papers as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to expose you." With that, I turned to leave. "Hailey, stop!" Jasmine suddenly pushed me from behind. I lost my balance and tumbled down the stairs... Chris rushed down in a panic. "Hailey, are you okay?" A sharp pain shot through my lower abdomen, and blood stained my dress. Chris trembled as he tried to lift me. I pushed against his chest, unable to stop laughing. "Look, you
Every time, he would bring some food and knock on Jane's door. And Jane... she would always throw the food into the bin right in front of him and then kick him out. After a while, Jane got annoyed. She called the police to have Chris removed. So, Chris changed his approach and waited downstairs for me every day. He waited for me for over a month. During this month, Jasmine came to find him countless times, but he always sent her away. As for me, I never went downstairs to see him. The next day, Chris returned to the company. It wasn't that he had decided to give up, but he was rushing back to handle the scandal with Jasmine. I packaged the evidence I had collected and posted it on the company's official website. The Davis Group, which started with maternity products, had a chairman who was an unfaithful scumbag. In no time, the company's revenue plummeted. Netizens were infuriated, and every day, people would flood the official website with angry

Chris had always been by my side. From the age of 14 to 26. 12 full years. I never imagined we would have the possibility of separation. I cried calmly. "Chris, we can't go back." Chris just looked at me sadly. I closed my eyes. Countless past scenes flashed through my mind like slides. It felt like a fragmented movie. "Chris, I really don't love you anymore. Please let me go." Chris raised his hand to cover his face. Tears flowed through his fingers, and his shoulders trembled. "Hailey, I really can't let you go. I'm begging you, don't leave me. At least, at least give me a little more time." I didn't look at him again and went straight upstairs. I clearly no longer loved him, but I still couldn't help the heartache. Those moments we once shared were like a knives. They pierced my heart, leaving wounds that I couldn't let go of for a long time. 15A week later, in the morning. I received a call from my dad. He had been diagn
"He held me and said he married you out of guilt because your ears were injured because of him. Over the years, his status has risen, but his wife has been a burden. When others ask about it, he only feels embarrassed by you." Jasmine stared closely at my expression. It was as if she wanted to see a hint of pain, but she was disappointed. I simply looked at her indifferently. I showed no expression at all. Seeing that I remained unresponsive, Jasmine's smile gradually faded, and a shadow crossed her eyes. "Why?" Suddenly, she lowered her head and began to sob softly. "Clearly, he had feelings for me too." "After you ruined everything for me, he didn't want me anymore." I suddenly laughed. "You’re the one who destroyed yourself from start to finish." "If you're pining for someone else's husband, you have to bear the title of a mistress. What do you think?" 13I saw Chris again six months later. He looked pale, almost greedily staring at me.
