I Left You in the Past Chapter 9
Now, when I faced him, I no longer even felt impatient.I was only a little confused.Did Adrian truly still have feelings for me?But when I thought of all the things he had done to me after Sophie appeared, saying he had feelings for me seemed far too unbelievable.So I met him again.This time, he seemed to have truly thought things through. His expression was dim.The first thing he did when he saw me was apologize."I'm sorry, Courtney."Many of my improper actions caused your misunderstanding."He took out a laptop and turned it toward me."It's true that these were the years my career was really taking off. I was too busy and had no time to travel with you. I clearly promised you, yet broke that promise again and again."That was my fault."I thought I was taking care of a new employee. I didn't expect it to make you misunderstand my relationship with her and then doubt my feelings for you."That was also my fault."Sophie posted many ambiguous things on social med

Adrian's face finally changed.But when he opened his mouth, he still said, "I didn't know..."I glanced down at my phone. I didn't want to waste any more time with him.It wasn't worth it.I said, "Mm. You didn't know. You didn't notice. You thought I didn't care. Then now I'm telling you, I care very much. My feelings for you were used up in all these things."I don't want to continue this marriage with you."Adrian, can you please sign the divorce agreement? Once we're divorced, whoever you want to be good to, whoever you want to help, will be your freedom. No one will have any right to comment."His lips moved, as if he could see the finality in my attitude.He said nothing else.His face was simply a little pale.I waited a few seconds. When he still did not speak, I prompted him. "What do you think?"He said in a low voice, "I understand what you mean. But before this, I kept thinking you were only angry and throwing a tantrum. Now I need to think carefully. Once I've

"Mr. and Mrs. Wexler, I've never thought about divorce. I came this time because I want to talk to Courtney about it."I stepped forward and said, "Then please wait a moment. I'll take my suitcase upstairs, and we'll find somewhere outside to talk."Only then did he notice my suitcase."I'll carry it up for you."I avoided him and lifted the suitcase with one hand. "No need."During the months after I left, I had long since gotten used to life without Adrian.I had carried this suitcase up and down on my own the whole time. I truly did not need anyone's help.Adrian waited downstairs alone.Before going out, I specially told my parents, "I'll be back soon and eat dinner with you."When I went downstairs and walked outside, Adrian followed silently behind me.Our small town didn't even have an airport, so naturally there were no upscale cafes either.We found a small nearby park with few people.I found a quiet corner and turned to look at him.We had not seen each other fo

On the day I drove deep into the Blue Ridge, I received another message from Adrian.[I'm in Asheville. Can we meet and talk?]When I saw the message, I was extremely surprised.He must have come here for a business trip.He definitely had not come specially for me.In five years of marriage, he had never changed any part of his schedule for me.I did not reply. I put down my phone and continued along my planned route.When I stopped for lunch and checked my phone again, I saw more than a dozen new messages from him.Of course, there were calls too.But just like the previous few days, I ignored all of them.At first, he asked where I was and told me to pick up the phone.But the later messages returned to the Adrian I knew so well.[Courtney, we're all adults. When there is a problem, we should find a way to solve it instead of running away.][You threw down a divorce agreement and left. You don't reply, you don't answer calls. What exactly is this supposed to be?][I've

After the plane landed, I turned off airplane mode.A bright red notification count and missed-call alerts appeared in the lower right corner.When I opened them, they were all from Adrian.I ignored them, went to the hotel I had booked, checked in, and organized my toiletries in the room.I sat by the floor-to-ceiling window for a while before finally opening his messages.[?][Courtney, what do you mean?][Why do you suddenly want a divorce? What happened?][Is this because of Sophie? She's just my assistant. We have nothing between us.][Courtney, answer the phone. If you misunderstood my relationship with Sophie, I can explain. She's too young, a fresh graduate just entering the working world. She reminded me of you back then, so I couldn't help looking after her a little more. We have nothing between us.]Nothing between them?But when he saw my divorce agreement, Adrian's first reaction was to assume it was because of Sophie.Didn't that already explain the problem?

I went to the office again.The handover was basically finished, so I began packing my things.Whatever could be given away, I gave away. Whatever needed to be cleared out, I cleared out.At noon, I treated the coworkers I was close with to lunch.They had all visited me in the hospital. When they heard I was leaving, they had prepared gifts for me.I deliberately chose a fairly expensive, very popular restaurant.Because I knew the owner, I was able to book a private room.But when I arrived, there were already people in the room I had reserved.It was Adrian and Sophie."Courtney, Sophie wanted to try a high-end restaurant like this. I remembered you knew the owner, so I asked and sure enough, you'd booked a room. We borrowed it first."He looked at the coworkers behind me, whose expressions had all changed, and added, "Could you eat in the main dining room tonight? I'll pay for your meal."For a moment, I didn't even know what to say.Two appetizers had already been serv
