【Love Story】10-Year Love Lost to Mistress: CEO Panics Post-Divorce

I divorced the man I had been in love with for 10 years in the seventh year of secretly loving Eric he said to me let's get married in the third year after getting married I said to him let's get divorced chapter 1 in the 10th year of loving Eric I brought up the topic of divorce it all started when he didn't come home after work I drove to his company to find him and saw him standing with a girl outside the building I recognized her immediately as his ex-girlfriend who had been involved with Eric for

5 years they stood on the steps Eric looking handsome in his suit and the girl with her wavy hair appearing charming and affectionate although they didn't hold hands or Embrace there was an intimacy that kept others at Bay I glanced at our chat history the last message I sent him was are you coming home for dinner tonight he never replied he had been ignoring my messages for a while now always claiming to be busy but apparently he wasn't too busy to chat with another girl I didn't approach them I just stood there quietly observing Eric's

smile seemed unfamiliar to me it suddenly dawned on me that he hadn't genuinely smiled at me for a long time despite being the closest of spouses he always came home with a cold expression on his face I thought it was because he was tired from work but it turned out that I wasn't the one who could make him smile anymore he glanced at me casually and his expression froze then he said something to the girl her smile faded and she waved at him before looking at me and walking away Eric walked over briskly opened the

car door and sat in the passenger seat with a furrowed brow what are you doing here he exclaimed I replied calmly I came to pick you up after work didn't you say you wouldn't let Jenny into our company Eric's brow furrowed even more Jenny is a Yale graduate and has worked in wall Street investment banking for years where else can you find someone like her why wouldn't I let her come he grew impatient can you stop having only love and romance on your mind all the time look at what she's become now multiple companies are

fighting to hire her if it weren't for my connection with her she might not have come at all his disdain was evident in his words I looked at the flowing cars in the distance without saying a word when we arrived home Eric didn't speak to me either he slammed the study door shut with Force he was angry he didn't realize that he only used anger as a cover up when he felt guilty perhaps only I who had been by his side for 10 years could understand him in this way but sometimes I hate myself for

understanding him so well it's better to be confused than to be painfully aware neither of us spoke first and I didn't create a scene as I usually would we just engaged in a cold war separated by a closed door after a moment the study door was forcefully pushed open and Eric with a Stern face said what do you want after all I'm telling you I can't dismiss Jenny you either accept it or we get a divorce whoever leaves we can both survive without each other Diana let me tell you I interrupted him speaking softly there's

no need to dismiss her letun get a divorce Eric paused what did you say he seemed to chuckle in Anger a hint of mockery in the corners of his eyes and lips Diana I'm not joking with you you've had enough there's no discussion about Jenny don't threaten me now and come back crying later he sneered like a dog Eric always spoke without mincing words the first time he argued with me like this I cried in the room all day long feeling as if my heart was breaking but now there was only a faint pain in

my heart quickly replaced by numbness I didn't argue with him I took out the divorce agreement from my bag and placed it on the table I've already signed the agreement the house goes to you cash and the car go to me roughly split evenly if you have any other requests we can discuss them Eric fell silent he looked at me with disbelief then that astonishment turned into anger he grabbed the agreement aggressively and glanced at it coldly fine you've got guts Diana once I sign there's no turning back think it through I handed him the

pen Eric's face immediately turned dark he roughly snatched the pen from my hand and hastily signed his name on it then threw the agreement in my face tomorrow we're getting divorced tomorrow he angrily exclaimed anyone who doesn't go is a damn loser I nodded tomorrow morning at 9:00 I've already made an appointment he paused and I didn't say anything I closed the door and went back to the guest bedroom I could hear the sound of things being smashed outside the door so I covered my eyes with my arm how did it come to this clearly

in the beginning I also wanted to be happy chapter 2 Eric and I had a flash marriage for him this relationship came unexpectedly but for me I had secretly loved him for S years at that time he had just broken up with Jenny when they were together I never dared to interfere it was only after they broke up that I had the courage to attend Gatherings where he was present during a class reunion he drank a lot and ended up getting drunk I knew it was because of Jenny at that time Jenny had just received

her acceptance letter from Yale University But Eric had taken over his father's company and planned to develop it domestically they couldn't convince each other and after a heated argument the couple who had been in love for 5 years went their separate ways when leaving several friends who knew that I had always liked him hinted for me to send him home I had no choice but to call a car and support him struggling to get him back home no matter how good Eric's physique was he was still a tall man over 1.8 m pressing me down

making it impossible for me to reach the light switch in the darkness he slurred in my ear J I couldn't hear clearly in my days and thought he was calling my name with the drunken heat lingering around my ears my body stiffened and when he leaned in for a kiss I didn't dodge early the next morning while Eric was still asleep I hurriedly left his house he didn't contact me either just when I thought it was just a fleeting encounter a month later my periods still hadn't come I reassured myself that it was only once

it couldn't be that coincidental but after taking the test I saw two lines I took a day off and stayed at home and finally gathered the courage to send Eric a WeChat message I didn't want to force him into anything nor did I want to ask him for money I just felt that this was our child and he had the right to know for a day and night Eric didn't reply to me just when I had lost all hope he suddenly called me on the call his voice was devoid of emotion I will take responsibility

Diana letun get married I still remember the feeling I had when I heard those words from him it was the first time I realized what heart fluttering truly meant as if fireworks were exploding in my heart it felt even more dizzying than winning the jackpot suppressing my overwhelming Joy I pretended to be calm and asked him do you like me I don't want you to be with me just because you feel responsible he replied without answering directly Eric remained silent for a long time and then said don't overthink it I'll come find you later after

hanging up the phone I tightly clenched my hands and my mind was filled with memories of that spirited young man on the high school basketball court love knows no reason it just deepens I don't know when exactly I started liking Eric whether it was when I saw the glistening sweat on his forehead while playing basketball or when he smiled and placed a bubble tea on my desk saying brother this one's on me all I know is that I have liked him for far too long it's like a person wandering alone in the dark finally seeing

the first light of dawn even though his mother looked down on me because I got pregnant before marriage and didn't even give us a dowy or accept my tea for the change of address ceremony even though we couldn't ultimately keep that child but at that time I truly felt like the happiest person in the world being with him turned all the bitterness into sweetness how foolish I was in the darkness a bitter smile appeared at the corner of my mouth little did I know in just three short years the dream would shatter chapter 3 the

next morning I had already packed up and was ready to go but Eric was still not up I knocked on the door for a while before he opened it wearing a gray pajama and a look of impatience on his face are you in such a hurry I glanced at my watch if we're late we'll have to reschedule I paused for a moment you've been talking about getting divorced all this time and now it's finally happening aren't you happy I'm happy he forced a smile through gritted teeth of course I'm happy Jenny has also returned and

you're quite considerate finding a new place just in time I nodded letun go then on the way neither of us spoke a word Eric had a constant frown on his face and I had grown accustomed to it I don't know when exactly it started but we rarely talked anymore at first I loved talking to him after liking him for so many years I had accumulated so many words I wanted to share with him if I saw a cat on the roadside a beautiful flower or a peculiar shaped cloud in the sky I would send him

pictures but but he rarely replied usually it would take a long time for him to reach out to me when he needed something and he would reluctantly reply with a simple yeah I couldn't deceive myself he was just not a talkative person by Nature because I had seen the conversations he had with Jenny on her social media and it seemed like Eric became a person I didn't recognize someone witty and humorous who responded instantly to all her topics over time I stopped sending him messages as often when we arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau the

mediator an older lady tried to reconcile us for a long time is your relationship irreparable Eric was about to speak but I smiled and answered no we had a flash marriage without any emotional Foundation to begin with now it feels inappropriate and we can't go on like this Eric glanced at me his expression complicated the mediator tried to persuade us for a while but I blocked all her attempts finally she sighed and said take a month of cooling off period and think about it again young couples like you with the man's talent and the woman's

Beauty are so well matched you young people are just impulsive go back and think more about the good aspects of each other I thought about it Eric is handsome he was the school heartthrob in high school he comes from a good family his parents own a company and have plenty of money in college he used to pick up Jenny from School in his sports car while we still took the bus he has a good personality surrounded by a group of friends and there's never a dull moment he is a good person except when it comes

to me he treats me poorly when we left the Civil Affairs Bureau the midday sunlight pierced my eyes causing tears to well up Eric thought I was crying and finally revealed a smirk of satisfaction regretting it now too late Diana he stood in front of me with a condescending posture hands in his pockets I won't turn back I wiped the corner of my eye and drove home with him once we got home Eric sat on the couch with his legs crossed and out of habit he ordered me around get me a glass of water I

ignored him and came out of the bedroom with my suitcase in hand where are you going he frowned I found a new place and I'm moving out today I paused for a moment and continued I've kept all the things you bought for me in the bedroom cabinet who the hell cares Eric suddenly exploded I forced a smile since we're getting divorced let's say our goodbyes properly take care of yourself drink less alcohol your stomach isn't good who do you think you are minding my business he abruptly stood up grabbed my suitcase opened the door and

threw it outside if you're leaving then leave now his eye ey brows furrowed his eyes filled with pent up anger I looked at the suitcase on the ground stunned for a moment then I stopped speaking walked over picked up the suitcase and entered the elevator without looking back at him the Gaze behind me was scorching as if it wanted to burn a hole in my back but in the end it was completely severed by the closing elevator doors chapter 4 I didn't want the house because I didn't want anything to do with Eric anymore I

don't want to see his things smell his scent or think about anything related to him in fact I had already made up my mind about the divorce Eric never liked me I always knew that I just kept thinking that after so many years even if he had a Heart of Stone it would eventually melt for me but after all these years he still doesn't love me and my warmth has completely run out I finally understand that some people are truly Irreplaceable perhaps he can see Jenny's smile but no matter how hard I try he can't

see mine I moved into the previously rented house before I could even finish unpacking Eric's mother called Eric did you buy the stomach medicine I heard from him that his stomach hasn't been well lately it's not me saying this Diana I never agreed when Eric wanted to marry you how can a decent girl get pregnant before marriage if it were my daughter I would have beaten her her to death it's embarrassing I'm telling you our family can't break the line if you can't have children you better say it early Eric is still young don't delay

I clenched my phone Eric's family is wealthy and his mother has never looked favorably upon my family my parents had to put on a smiley face and endure her cold treatment when they went to visit over the years she has always disliked me no matter how hard I try to please her in fact she has said these things before every time we meet every time she calls me she repeats how I climbed up to Eric and how difficult it was for their family Eric never speaks up for me he only tells me to be obedient

and filial to his mother because his mother has already made many sacrifices to accept me so I always endured it but this time I don't need to endure anymore I said expressionlessly and we are already divorced I'm not obligated to buy medicine for him anymore by the way you didn't give birth to me nor did you raise me you have no right to meddle in my Affairs if you can't stand me I suggest you poke your own eyes out and stop looking after saying that I didn't care about the reaction on the other end and

hung up blocking the number after some thought I left all the WeChat groups related to Eric's family and deleted and blocked all their contact information including his after doing all this I finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed divorce wasn't as painful as I imagined Eric always liked to threaten me with divorce during arguments it seemed like he had me under his control knowing that I wouldn't leave him and he used my love to hurt me without restraint and as he expected the first time he threatened me like that I

was genuinely scared he was right I kneeled before him like a dog admitting my mistakes promising to change and willing to do anything as long as he didn't leave me I covered my eyes with my Palms feeling a damp warmth but even heartache has its limits repeatedly that pain became numb through endless repetition the chain that pierced through my bones and flesh carrying rotten blood finally left me now all that's left is Liberation chapter 5 Eric didn't contact me anymore it's like he completely disappeared from my life until 2 weeks later a classmate suddenly approached

me and asked if I wanted to join the class reunion tomorrow night initially I wanted to refuse I really didn't want to see Eric again but then I thought it's not me who was in the wrong and I don't need to avoid him either so I agreed to go during the class reunion I was talking with other people when the door suddenly swung open Eric stepped in he was still wearing the suit he had on during the day tailored and fitting with just the top button of his collar undone coupled with his black hair he

exuded a refined charm with a hint of Mischief even without saying a word his long-standing position of power made his presence dominant following behind him was Jenny who was dressed immaculately as soon as they entered everyone started making a commotion oh Eric and the campus Beauty are back together I knew you two couldn't break up it was such a big fuss back then come sit over here that's right I remember when Jenny went abroad Eric almost ended up in the hospital from drinking he's been waiting for her all these years hasn't he when I married

Eric he said he didn't like formalities so we didn't have a wedding ceremony after marriage he never posted anything related to me on social media and even when we went out together he would keep his distance from me it's ironic that we've been married for 3 years but besides a few close friends no one knows we're together Eric's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on me his eyes filled with mockery a smirk on his lips I didn't look at him and turned to talk to the person next to me his face turned dark and

he sat down with Jenny why is Jenny back I heard you've been doing really well abroad planning to come back and contribute to the motherland someone joked Jenny brushed aside her wavy hair and smiled Ambiguously ly now that I'm this old I should start thinking about settling down my family has been urging me she didn't mention anyone by name but everyone burst into laughter that's right Eric has been waiting for you all these years now that you're back good things are about to happen right Jenny remained silent blushing and lowering her head smiling hey Eric

you're really sentimental but our Jenny is an independent woman now both talented and beautiful you two are a perfect match but speaking of beauty I think Diana is also beautiful back in our class there were often debates about who the campus Beauty was you or Jenny I was about to speak when Eric smeared what good is just being beautiful some people only have love and romance in their minds all day long they've become foolish as Housewives no wonder no one loves them my face turned pale I knew he was talking about me when he started

his business he was very busy if I also pursued a career it would have been difficult for us to be together for him I turned down all job offers and focused on taking care of him at home everyone fell silent and then a classmate intervened trying to diffuse the situation we shouldn't say it like that Diana also received offers from several major companies back then she made Millions from her University projects I remember one company even offered her a salary of 3 million a year but why didn't you take any of those offers he curiously

asked did you get married Eric froze and turned to look at me I lowered my gaze and calmly replied yes I married a scumbag I rejected all those opportunities for him just so I could take care of him but a scumbag is a scumbag no matter how much you sacrifice for them thankfully I cut my lock in time a female classmate nearby empathized that's right some men are like that when they get married they want a nanny to take care of them after a few years they complained that their wives aren't independent enough and end

up with a clingy dependent woman uh trash like that deserves to grow old alone the topic quickly changed and classmates began discussing their own relationships and marriages warning against being too L struck or else they might end up with such scumbags I had always been submissive to Eric so this was the first time I sarcastically criticized him he stared straight at me seeming somewhat bewildered you he wanted to say something but his voice disappeared amidst the noisy chatter the Gathering came to an end and I got into my car to leave as I started the

engine someone knocked on my car window one of Eric's friends looked at me with a troubled expression sister-in-law Eric's stomach is acting up again can you take him home I furrowed my brow what about Jenny he hesitated for a moment she offered to take Eric but he refused Eric listens to you the most you I looked to the side not far away Eric stood at the hotel entrance bathed in orange light when his gaze reached me it seemed as if he was scalded and quickly averted his eyes Jenny Stood Beside him saying something but he

seemed absent-minded for a his brow and waving his hand dismissively we already divorced I withdrew my gaze I'm sorry find someone else sister-in-law the man wanted to say something more but I nodded at him and drove away without another word in the rearview mirror I saw Eric watching me intently slightly bowing his head his face looking somewhat pale I didn't look at him again and continued driving I care so much about Eric that even the people around him know it his stomach problem stems from when Jenny left and he turned to drinking in these three

years I've transformed from a lazy person who couldn't even boil water to a housewife who can cook and make soup for him in various ways just to take better care of his health I buy all his stomach medicine and divide them into daily doses stuffing them into his clothes and calling him to remind him to take his medication when he forgot to bring his medicine on a business trip and had a severe stomach ache in the middle of the night I braved the freezing winter to catch the early morning flight and deliver the medicine to

him but by the time I arrived he was already asleep I stood at the door for hours waiting until my body was covered in snow but when Eric woke up and opened the door he just frowned impatiently and said give me the medicine and go it was on that trip back that I slipped and lost my child the P gnaws at my heart like insects not tearing it apart but the subtle pain is impossible to ignore sometimes I don't understand myself either I'm not this kind of person so why do I become so lowly and

pathetic when it comes to him but emotions are irrational they can easily destroy a person's principles with one smile from him all my boundaries crumble leaving me at his Mercy but my love has been completely worn away that Diana who used to be so full of him in her heart and eyes has been slowly eroded by him chapter 6 the next day just as I was about to leave I received a call from my parents they said that Eric's parents were also here and asked me to come home to talk I had anticipated this day

would come divorce is not a trivial matter it involves two families even though I didn't want to go back I knew that sooner or later I had to put an end to it but in just two short weeks of not being home this once familiar Place felt somewhat strange to me as I entered the house I suddenly felt a sense of Oppression both sets of parents were sitting on the couch and Eric sat on the side smoking and remaining silent perhaps they could sense that I was serious this time surprisingly Eric's mother didn't directly scold

me she just furrowed her brow and said Diana I know you young people have your temper but divorce is not something to be taken lightly how can you just say divorce so easily I chuckled lightly Auntie you should ask your son about that divorce was his idea if I remember correctly this is already the 13th time Eric has mentioned divorce to me since he wants a divorce so badly I can only Grant him that wish Eric's mother was taken aback forcing a smile Eric is just being childish he hasn't grown up yet still immature is

that so I responded cooly heun's actually a year older than me does he have some kind of Developmental problem if at 25 years old he's still not mature Eric's mother was left speechless Eric's father coughed Diana this child Eric doesn't know any better as parents we apologize on his behalf but when problems arise in a marriage it's definitely not all one-sided it takes two to clap he continued Uncle let me give you a slap will you say it won't make a sound S I said firmly since we were already divorced I had no reason to

keep silent anymore I decided to say whatever I wanted to say I walked up to Eric and sternly said Eric stop pretending to be dead tell your parents what exactly I did to deserve all this your ex-girlfriend came back and you said you didn't like a homemaker like me who only knows about love and family you said I wasn't independent enough but wasn't it family who said you had health issues and asked me to take care of you for all these years I've been doing the laundry and cooking at home preparing three meals a day

in different ways because you have a stomach problem as someone who loves spicy food I haven't cooked anything spicy at home Eric be honest with yourself is this my fault Eric remained silent his mother couldn't help but speak up don't just blame him after all these years you haven't had any children either the child back then didn't make it who knows if it was I abruptly turned around and raised my voice yes I got pregnant before we were married but pregnancy is not something I can do alone if Eric didn't want it could I force

him why has it all become my fault you say the child didn't make it why don't you ask your son why my child didn't make it he went on a business trip without taking his medication for his stomach in the middle of the winter I rushed to the airport in the early morning to deliver it but he fell asleep and didn't open the door I stood in the snow for 3 hours and he didn't even say a word to let me leave the medicine and go my feet were frozen and numb and I lost the

baby when I fell I want to ask you whose fault is it really is it mine I didn't intend to cry but the emotions that had been suppressed for too long poured out uncontrollably even I couldn't contain them did I do something wrong by giving my all why does loving someone turn into a mistake in the end almost on the verge of collapse I shouted Eric tell me what did I do wrong my mother stood up shocked and asked Eric with a trembling voice didn't you say it was her accidentally falling I smiled bitterly bowing

my head I was afraid you would scold him I was just too foolish My Mother's Eyes turned red in an instant and she questioned Eric her voice trembling we haven't mistreated you all these years we truly treated you as our own son your mother didn't give a dowy didn't have a wedding ceremony and had countless criticisms of Diana and we didn't say anything we knew Diana liked you we just hoped you would treat her well and this is how you treated her Eric's face lost all color I'm sorry Mom don't call me Mom I'm not

your mother my mother shouted loudly her eyes filled with raging anger my father expression also turned grim and he lowered his head clenching his fists Eric I don't know what your intentions were in bringing your parents and mine here but I haven't done anything to wrong you all these years I don't want things to get uglier than they already are let's part ways amicably I said wearily Eric looked up his emotions mixed in his eyes and after a long silence he whispered Softly You're not wrong it's all my fault that we've come to this I

sorry I didn't mean to I just Diana give me a chance to make it up to you I won't be like this anymore a hint of sarcasm appeared in my eyes of course you didn't mean to you just enjoyed the good I gave you while despising me Eric sometimes I really can't understand you haven't given me anything and you have no right to decide anything for me you just took advantage of my love and kept hurting me while looking down on me I leaned in close to him and whispered softly what exactly are you Eric

on what grounds Eric's eyes trembled his face pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness faced with my question he couldn't utter a word as if my words had pierced his heart like a thousand arrows for the first time he fell into a disadvantageous position in front of me his back bending inch by inch Jenny came back you clearly told me that you wouldn't let her into the company and yet you kept her here Eric you were unfaithful to our marriage broke your promises and then blamed everything on me saying that all

I had on my mind was love and romance isn't this perfect now I'll Make Way for you both Eric urgently looked up Jenny and I have nothing going on we're just colleagues I smeared do you dare to say that you have no intentions of rekindling old feelings do normal colleagues need to have meals together every day and exchange messages on their phones while holding hands Eric do you think everyone is a fool willingly fooled by you Eric opened his mouth but couldn't say anything I stood up and said indifferently I've said everything I needed to

say I hope you won't bother me anymore just as I was about to walk out of the door Eric called out to me his voice trembled as if the person who had always been composed and arrogant had finally been torn apart from the facade only now realizing his true self Diana if I'm willing to change can we still have a chance I turned to look at him and to my surprise his eyes were filled with a hint of uneasiness Eric had always been arrogant and dismissive in front of me always in the dominant position in

this relationship I had never seen him so fearful before it's too late I said softly and then closed the door chapter 7 after leaving Eric I started sending out resumes planning to find a job fortunately it hasn't been too long since I graduated and the projects I worked on were impressive enough many companies are still eager to hire me in his eyes I must be worthless not even comperable to Jenny so in this relationship I constantly doubt myself living in pain every day questioning if I'm truly that inadequate but now I realize that he doesn't

get to decide who I am I'm doing just fine when I got home in the evening I bought myself a small cake as a reward in a few days the cooling off period will be over and I can completely free myself from this relationship but my good mood was interrupted by a phone call Jenny's voice sounded distorted on the phone letun talk I looked at the cake in my hand feeling impatient there's nothing for us to talk about don't you want me to keep coming to see you some things are better said and discusted she

said even though she was the one coming to see me her attitude was still arrogant I simply hung up the phone the next day when she called again her attitude had improved I just want to discuss some things with you just an hour it won't take up much of your time I didn't want to go but I was afraid she would keep bothering me every day I could only find a time to meet her Jenny got straight to the point I don't want you to contact Eric anymore since you've broken up let it be a

clean break don't keep lingering I looked at this woman dressed in a white Chanel suit her long hair elegantly styled sophisticated yet professional no wonder Eric liked her for so many years you know that it was me who got together with him first we had a good relationship and if it wasn't for your interference we might have reconciled long ago now that you're divorced I don't want you to continue influencing him I smeared I blocked him long ago so where's the lingering connection Jenny looked incredulous Eric has been Restless these days if it's not you

constantly reaching out to him then who could it be I've noticed that you people are really good at making up stories I laughed and said firmly interfering interfering with what you two broke up and we got together is that considered interfering Eric didn't marry me do you expect me to hold a knife to his throat and force him to be with me why don't you go ask him about it as for what you said about me reaching out to him I put my coffee down and looked at Jenny disdainfully rest assured you can keep a

close eye on him since you like him so much I'm no longer interested in him Jenny wanted to say something but suddenly her eyes widened Eric hurriedly came over from my side and pulled her up angrily saying are you crazy who told you to come find her Jenny's face turned pale but she stubbornly replied what's wrong with me finding her you two are divorced why are you still thinking about her you were the one who told me that she has a boring personality always revolving around you and that you were annoyed by her Eric froze

then turned to look at me I nonchalantly crossed my arms I've heard these words too many times and they no longer hurt me gritting his teeth Eric saidou insane it's none of your business what happens between me and her we haven't gotten married we haven't divorced yet Jenny looked at him in shock her eyes welling up with tears we were the ones who got together first and you said you couldn't forget about me didn't you Eric have you forgotten our past the past is already gone Eric grabbed her arm tightly I have a wife I

have nothing to do with you he stared at Jenny enunciating each word I'm warning you don't come looking for her again or I won't be polite to you tears finally fell from Jenny's eyes she looked at Eric for a long time before forcing a bitter smile Eric you're ruthless she forcefully pulled her hand away and ran out of the coffee shop with red eyes Eric pulled me out of the coffee shop he remained silent for a while before speaking I'm sorry you were right initially I did have the intention of reconciling with Jenny at that

time time I was young and couldn't accept being dumped so when she came back I always wanted her to see how successful I've become and make her regret it I mistook that Obsession for love he rubbed his face and whispered now I understand that I haven't loved her for a long time I didn't know when it started snowing the snowflakes falling gently on Eric's shoulders but he seemed unaware only wearing a bitter smile after you said those words that day I thought about it for a long time when I got home I realized that I'm

the one who truly worthless I felt like I can't live without you that you can't leave me so I hurt you recklessly even look down on you but now thinking about it you just love someone your love is pure wholehearted and Noble I'm the one who's truly despicable in the distance a Street Lamp lit up a snowflake fell on his eyelashes quickly turning into a glistening droplet of water his voice lowered after you left home there was no one to make me soup when my stomach achd I wanted to take medicine but couldn't find it

I wanted to buy it but realized I didn't even know the names of the medications now I realize it's actually me who can't live without you I feel Restless every day I don't like this feeling of confusion but I truly don't know what I should be doing the bed sheet is so cold it scares me Eric covered his face let out a bitter laugh and hely said so it turns out I've already fallen in love with you he said So Many Words which surprised me when he was with me Eric was always stingy with his

responses leaving me to perform a one-woman show it turns out he could speak so much it's just that it came at the wrong time and I no longer wanted to listen I reached out and caught a snowflake cool and melting in my palm Eric you don't love me you just feel uncomfortable with the person who has always been by your side leaving you're just scared that no one will love you like I do I turned around to leave but Eric grabbed me he slightly bowed his body his expression almost becoming humble Diana please I Eric

have never begged anyone in my life but I'm begging you give me another chance please I was wrong before I didn't know how important you already were in my heart I will I pulled his hand away interrupting him Eric no one will wait for you in the same place forever I'm not your parents they only have one son you but for me there are many men Eric stood there for a long time calling out to me loudly with a hint of heart-wrenching pain in his voice Diana in the midst of the swirling snow he was

dressed lightly his eyes gradually turning red I won't divorce I turned back calmly and said then I will file for divorce Eric you look so pathetic don't be like a dog it was as if his throat had suddenly been choked he stared at me his expression filled with sorrow and regret a tear abruptly fell from his eyes these were the words he said to me during the divorce now return to him for btim I finally understood him when you don't love someone hurtful words can easily slip out he finally regretted it unfortunately the right answer

came too late and it had already become a mistake chapter 8 Eric ended up in the hospital again due to excessive drinking his friend called me in a panic saying sister-in-law please I'm begging you Eric drank all night and no matter how we tried to persuade him it didn't work can you please come and see if he's okay I hesitated for a moment and replied I'm sorry I have a meeting today and I don't have the time he kept calling your name and crying apologizing to you his friend defended him he truly loves you how

can you be so heartless I let out a cold laugh when I was suffering from acute appendicitis and in unbearable pain he was having dinner with Jenny outside I called him multiple times but he refused to answer in the end I had to call an ambulance to save myself the doctor said that if I had come any later they might not have been able to save me my intestines had already perforated but when Eric found out he only responded lightly okay got it it was at that moment that the last trace of love I had

for him died I finally realized that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't warm his Stone Cold Heart when it comes to being heartless I can only admit defeat to him I clenched my fist remained silent and hung up the phone the love I once yearned for after a long time I discovered that it had expired I no longer wanted it at all his parents then called me from a different number Eric's mother who used to be so domineering was now crying and pleading Diana Eric really likes you we were wrong before can we

compensate you in the future wedding dowy whatever you say we won't argue I couldn't help but find it funny I really don't understand why human nature is so despicable when they are in need of you they only see you as cheap but when they realize you might leave they realize they have nothing to rely on just come and see Eric his gastric bleeding is severe when he passed out he kept muttering your name his mother sobbed uncontrollably I used to hear that Eric would be in agony whenever he had stomach pain but now I just

felt annoyed I hung up the phone picked up my meeting materials and entered the conference room what was I doing all this time even if he drinks himself to death now I won't shed a single tear for him I thought that with Eric's condition he probably wouldn't be able to marry me anymore but I didn't expect him to show up 3 Days Later his face was pale and Haggard and he had lost weight he looked at me wanting to say something but in the end he remained silent he didn't bother me anymore he just signed

a new agreement all the assets were to be given to me and he would leave with nothing just consider it as giving me a chance to atone so that I can have the face to pursue you again he said with a bitter smile I shook my head and sighed softly if only we had known better back then why did it have to be like this once upon a time I also wanted to live happily with you he said I had given my all to love this person I laid bare everything I had in front of

him begging him to just look at me I tried my best but now that I didn't get the desired outcome I have regrets but no regrets Eric kept his head down for a long time and whispered softly I was foolish I could have been happy once it's a Pity that I only realize the worth when I lose it from now on he cautiously asked can I still contact you perhaps fearing that he was being bothersome he quickly added I won't disturb you all the time just give me a chance to know if you're doing well

no need I smiled at him the past is already in the past we should both move forward however I tidied his Tai one last time when you meet someone who loves you in the future don't treat them the way you treated me there's nothing wrong with loving someone but the person being loved shouldn't trample on others feelings because love is precious you never know when it might disappear Eric's expression was unpleasant as if the words I just spoke had turned into a knife stabbing him fiercely with a light heart I couldn't see his expression I

could only hear his voice filled with a faint pain choked with emotion all right well then goodbye and I wish you happiness I waved goodbye to him Diana he suddenly called out to me in a broken voice Diana I can't be happy without you suppressing the sourness in my heart I didn't turn back but walked confidently towards the sunlight when I love someone it's with great Passion openness and I give everything I have but when I no longer love I never look back everything from the past has dissipated I won't look back I will only

continue moving forward
