Chapter 111

Sharon asked, "Do I really disgust you that much? You clearly had strong feelings for me. I don't believe your love for me could disappear overnight. Not after two years.""I told you already," Edward said coldly. "I stopped loving you when we broke up two years ago.""I don't believe that," she shot back. "You weren't like this just a little while ago. You even kissed—"Before she could finish, Edward grabbed her jaw firmly to silence her."That was just me trying to figure out if I still had any feelings for you," he snapped. "But every time I get close to you, I only think about Macie. She's the one I love."Four days ago, he'd said he didn't love Macie. But now, he was admitting it to Sharon's face.Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her fists clenched at her sides. She hated Macie more than anything at that moment."So, you never really loved me, did you?" she cried. "That's the only way you could've moved on so fast." She continued, "Do you even know how much I loved you?

Edward turned his head, clenched his fists, and glared at Sharon. Every word out of her mouth reminded him of just how monstrous he'd been and how deeply he'd hurt Macie. Regret twisted with pain inside him. He wanted nothing more than to slap himself across the face."Ed, I know you still love me. I don't know how you ever convinced yourself you had feelings for Macie, but it's not real."When he didn't speak, she thought her words were starting to sink in. She stepped closer and continued to work him."You just weren't used to her being gone. Anyone would get attached after two years—even if it was just a dog. You simply mistook that familiarity for love."In your heart, the one you truly care about is me. Think about it. Every time I got hurt, who was the one who panicked? Who came running without a second thought?""Shut up!" Edward roared, his face twisted in fury."Do you think I can't tell the difference between loving and not loving someone? I'm not a fool. I don't need

"Macie never took me from you," Edward said. "It was Grandpa who forced her to marry me."However, Sharon didn't believe him. It wasn't as though she didn't know about Macie's feelings for Edward. She knew that Macie had liked him since high school.But, of course, Sharon would never say that out loud. After all, why would she do Macie any favors? If anything, she was hoping that the two of them would split for good."Ed, you and Macie are already divorced. It's in the past. Why don't we start over?" she persisted.Sharon has a long history with Edward. She had "known" him since high school, and they started dating in college. After all the effort she'd put into their relationship, she wouldn't give up on their relationship that easily."Who wants to start over with you? I'm not even divorced," Edward spat.He gritted his teeth and glared at her. Just hearing the word "divorce" made him tense up. He insisted that he hadn't divorced Macie."How is that possible? The paperwork was

This time, no one would offer Sharon ten million dollars to leave Edward. She'd vanish without a trace, like a filthy rat scurrying through the shadows."I admit it. I slipped the divorce agreement inside and made you sign it," she said through sobs as she crawled over and clung to his leg.After hearing her confession, his rage exploded, and he kicked her away.Sharon grunted in pain and continued through the sobs, "But it was Macie who made me do it. She doesn't love you anymore. She wanted a divorce, but you refused. She had no choice but to come to me for help."I swear. I wasn't hiding anything from you. She made me promise not to tell you. "I'm her friend. I had to help her, Ed. I had to…""Bullshit! She loves me and would never ask for a divorce," Edward shouted. He continued, "You're the one who drove a wedge between us. It's you who tricked me into signing the divorce agreement. That divorce means nothing."Edward couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't wait until tomorr

Edward was so furious that he nearly ripped the page on the spot. He couldn't even bear to look at it. His jealousy was eating him alive as his eyes burned with rage.But just as he began to rip the corner, he stopped. After all, this was Macie's diary, which held her memories. He figured that he could still use the excuse of returning it to find her.Edward was filled with jealousy. He stormed over, snatched the other half of the diary from Sharon's hands, then slammed the door shut.He couldn't bring himself to look at the diary. It had been with Macie since high school and through college. Even after they got married, she still carried it with her everywhere. He figured that she must've really liked her first love.Edward gritted his teeth. His heart was heavy with unspoken frustration and sorrow. This made him envy and hate that bastard even more.Overcome by emotion, he nearly tore the diary again. But after several moments of inner conflict, he forced himself to stop.Edwar

Chapter 116

While walking to the master bedroom, Edward instinctively glanced at the small guest room next to it. He subconsciously turned and stepped inside.The room was empty. Macie had cleaned everything before she left, even the toothbrush and cup.She hadn't left a single trace behind. There wasn't even the slightest sign that she'd ever been here. That alone made it clear how decisively she had walked away.Edward's eyes burned with unshed tears, and his fingers curled into fists. Like a child desperate for comfort, he brought over his blanket and pillow and lay on the bed Macie used to sleep in.…Outside the neighborhood, Sharon stood there with her eyes swollen from crying after being kicked out. The property management had cleared away her belongings, and she quickly dialed her assistant, Rebecca.When Rebecca arrived and saw Sharon's disheveled and miserable loon, she had a good idea of what had happened but didn't dare ask."Not a word of this gets out. Got it? If Edward finds

As the car started moving, Macie asked, "Are you here just to pick me up?""Not exactly. I was just passing by," Julian said.She pursed her lips together. It was clear she didn't believe him."It's true. After I dropped you off last night, I realized that your place is on the same route as mine. I figured, why not swing by again this morning?" he said earnestly.Macie looked at Julian. He was dressed in a sharp black suit and had even put on cologne. He definitely looked like he'd put some effort into his appearance."Julian, I'm just going to be upfront with you," she said."If it's something I don't want to hear, then don't bother," he replied.She looked at him, sighed, and said, "You're a smart guy. I'm sure you already know what I'm thinking. So there's no need for either of us to dance around it.""Have you broken up with him?" Julian suddenly asked.Macie was taken aback. She hesitated before saying, "Yes. We broke up."To be more precise, it was a divorce. There woul

Julian fell silent at Macie's words.He wanted to know who could have her so deeply. The situation reminded him of that old saying—once bitten, twice shy. He was both curious and jealous, especially since she always rejected him so decisively."May I ask who that person is?" he asked."Sorry. I don't want to talk about it," Macie replied.This chapter of her life was one she no longer wanted to revisit. Moreover, Julian and Alice knew Edward, and talking about someone they were familiar with always felt awkward."Did you really like him that much?" Julian asked again."I've loved him for almost nine years," Macie answered.When he heard about the number of years she had devoted to this person, Julian couldn't help but feel like he had never stood a chance. It was no wonder many men had tried to win Macie's heart in college, but she never accepted any of them."You'll get over it. You're a strong person," Julian comforted her.Macie responded with a soft hum. She was already

"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I'll apologize to Macie. Please don't submit the divorce agreement," Edward pleaded.There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Macie had signed the papers herself and left decisively. She made it clear that she wanted the divorce. Finally, Yosef said, "Whether or not you signed willingly, it's a done deal. Stop making a scene.""No, Grandpa. You can't do this to me," Edward said frantically. He continued, "You were the one who made me marry Macie and made me fall in love with her. How can you turn around and destroy it?"I love her and can't live without her. I'm not asking for anything else. I just don't want you to submit the divorce agreement." Edward's voice cracked, and his tone was full of desperation.After hearing his grandson in such a state, Yosef sighed."There's a 30-day cooling-off period. If you can reconcile with Macie during that time, the divorce will be nullified," he said.Edward's face immediately lit up with hope

It was only Macie's second day at work, and rumors about her and Julian were already spreading. She knew that she had to be extra careful and keep her distance from him at the company from now on.But despite her intentions, as soon as she got her food and sat down, someone appeared beside her. She turned to see it was Julian."Mind if I join you?" Julian asked, smiling, though he had already taken a seat.Macie quietly moved over to make room.Her two colleagues across from her picked up on the situation and started to stand up."Let's all sit together. Otherwise, it'll be awkward if it's just Macie and me," Julian said. His tone was composed and gracious.The two colleagues hesitated for a moment before sitting back down. They sneaked glances at him and then at Macie.Macie stayed silent and focused on her meal, while Julian did the same, as if he were just there to share a table with her.When she finished, Macie politely said goodbye and left with her colleagues. He watched
