All Chapters of The Love That Died In Ten Years: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I valued the ten years I had spent with Joseph Lynch, but it all seemed like a joke. It had been a year since he started dating a woman named Selena Jones. Meanwhile, I was sitting in bed in some ill-fitting undergarments.The sound of water ceased in the bathroom. After that, Joseph casually wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out. “Oh, Yulia. You already put it on.” Joseph smiled and spoke naturally. But I did not miss the panic that flashed briefly in his eyes.“Joe, we’ve been together for such a long time. Don’t you know my size?” I feigned calmness as I replied and suppressed my desire to cry.“It’s our tenth anniversary today. I got too excited and bought you the wrong size.” Joseph leaned over with a gentle look and kissed me softly. “But everything looks nice on you.” His kiss gradually deepened, and he easily slipped off my undergarments. “Yulia,” he muttered.“Joe, I’m tired from all the fun today. I want to rest.” When I said that, I could see him breathe a

“Let’s go back to the room,” Joseph suggested hoarsely.In the next second, someone approached me and quickly took off my clothes. I was hit by the cold.“You bought these for me. Why is she wearing them?”“Go back, Selena!” Joseph suddenly scolded her. I was shocked. It seemed like Selena was gone as Joseph sat on the edge of my bed.He helped me put on a pair of comfortable and fitting pajamas. Then, he tucked me in and kissed my forehead. After that, he walked out and closed the door behind him. He would not be back the entire night.I opened my eyes and told myself that his infidelity was not my fault. Yet, bitterness still gripped me. I cried, and my tears rolled down to my lips. They had been together for a year. They first got together on my ninth-year anniversary with Joseph.In fact, Joseph had been missing for a week a day before that. My friends told me that he was going to propose. Being in love, I was full of joy.When I went shopping at a jewelry shop, a sale

Catherine gave me a hard slap and glared at me. “You’re such a letdown! You’ve been through so many hardships with him over the years. Now that he’s rich, you’re leaving him?!”I was twenty-six years old. Joseph was still a nobody when I started dating him.I stayed by his side as he started his business and attended social gatherings to get orders. Back then, I drank so much wine that I suffered from internal bleeding in my stomach. “Yulia, don’t push yourself like that. I’m begging you.” At that time, Joseph got down on his knees beside my hospital bed and cried. However, he was under more pressure than me. “Joe, things will get better for us.” When life was at its most difficult, Joseph carved us a pair of rings. We hugged each other under the fireworks as if we could see a lifetime of happiness ahead. As for that ring, I wore it for many years. Unfortunately, it was full of blemishes despite my efforts to take care of it.I ignored Catherine, and she finally calmed down.

“No, you’ve gotten it wrong, Yulia! I’ve had to attend various important occasions lately, so I’ve needed something else to match my look. I didn’t forget about our rings.” Joseph was still trying to defend himself.I once asked him to put on another ring when his business started growing. Our ring did not really match his outfit.However, he insisted on wearing it. He wanted to tell everyone that I was his beloved woman and future wife.Unfortunately, it did not take long for him to stop bringing me into his social circle. He also spoke ambiguously when it came to his relationship status.I was fine with it because I trusted him. But after my recent discovery, I found my life with him a joke. “Yulia, stop crying. I don’t want this ring; I want ours.” Joseph took off his ring and threw it into the trash can. Getting flustered, he tried searching for his old ring.After a long while, he sat before me in disappointment as if he had made a mistake.I looked at him coldly, but I co

I tilted my head to look at him, and he mirrored my actions. His eyes were extremely charming when he smiled.I ignored him and quietly put my phone away. Coincidentally, it was already my turn.After my checkup, the doctor told me that I was more than one month pregnant. The only time we did not use any precautions was about a month ago. Although I was mentally prepared for this, I found it unacceptable.Joseph and I could no longer go back to the way things were. I could never bear his child.“Just abort it,” I said expressionlessly and suppressed the little reluctance in my heart.“What?” The doctor looked at me with surprise. “I’d like to abort the child now,” I repeated myself. “It’s rare to see someone give up their child so calmly and resolutely.” The doctor glanced at me and added, “But if the father isn’t worthy of you bearing his child, it pains me to see you in this position. We can begin preparations for the operation after your checkup.”“Thank you.”My next c
