Reunion Is Difficult Chapter 9
I stopped in my tracks at the sight of that wilting bouquet of yellow roses.I had only come back to grab some materials on a quick errand. I never expected Amanda to still be here.She looked at me, rubbed her eyes, and then suddenly rushed forward to embrace my cold body. Her words tumbled out in a frantic, incoherent rush.“Leigh, I’m sorry. I found out the truth. Kevin manipulated me. I’m so sorry. Can we start over? I promise I’ll listen to you from now on.”Her apology sounded so earnest.Unfortunately, it had come far too late.Watching her cry stirred nothing in me anymore.“Amanda, how many times do I have to tell you? It’s over…”Before I could finish, she suddenly collapsed in front of me.After two days without food or water, combined with the overwhelming emotional strain, her body had finally given out.I was stunned for a few seconds. Then, I quickly called an ambulance.“She fainted from low blood sugar and emotional exhaustion. We’ve given her glucose throug

“You…”Amanda trailed off, looking as though my supposed heartlessness had shattered her.I reached back and took Anya’s hand. My voice was calm as I said, “Amanda, it’s over between us. How I live my life and who I choose to spend it with has nothing to do with you anymore.”Amanda’s lips trembled violently, as though she were desperately holding something back.I did not look at her again. I turned around and walked away from the rooftop.We had walked some distance when I realized my body was trembling slightly.Anya stayed beside me. She spoke tentatively, as though testing the waters.“Leigh, in Rosavia, taking a woman’s hand like that means you’re courting her. You’re supposed to make things official afterward.”I stared at her in complete confusion.“What?”She nodded with a perfectly serious expression.“Oh, get lost.”I lightly tapped the top of her head with my phone.“In Rosavia, kissing someone on both cheeks is considered a polite greeting, and now, you’re tel

Amanda stared at the message I had sent her. [I’ve moved on with my life. Please stop contacting me.]Loud ringing filled her ears.She suddenly remembered what Kevin had said when he was desperately trying to stop her from leaving.“Amanda, why do you think he went to Westmere? Who is waiting for him there?”With trembling hands, Amanda picked up her phone and called a friend who had studied in Westmere.“Find out who this woman is.”Her voice shook on the final few words.She refused to believe it. I had loved her so much. How could I have found someone else so quickly?The information came back swiftly. Without a moment’s delay, Amanda set off for Merrichester.It was the middle of Merrichester’s long winter night. She remained outside the Merrichester University Institute of Biological Sciences until morning.By the time someone found her at dawn, she was nearly frozen.When she opened her eyes, she did not call for help. Instead, she whispered the name she had been lo

Upon arriving in Westmere, I took full control of my own life.In the past, I had always pushed my plans aside to accommodate Amanda’s schedule.I put my biological research on hold because I had to rush home to cook dinner for her.I cut back on sleep because I had to go to the gym, just to meet her obsession with muscular physiques.Every dinner with friends, professional course, and personal commitment had to take a back seat to her. However, I was determined to find myself again.At the research institute, Lawrence joked, “We keep pretty long hours around here. Many often work until past ten. I hope no one has to rush home for dates.”The room fell silent. Everyone’s gaze shifted toward me at once.My face instantly flushed.I quietly shook my head. “I don’t have a girlfriend anymore.”Lawrence looked at me in surprise, then nodded.“That’s probably for the best. A man should focus on building his career.”With that, he motioned toward the back of the room.A young bl

“What?”Amanda froze.She thought. “No one’s waiting at the altar? Leigh didn’t show up for the wedding? He’d never do that.”An uneasy sense of panic began to rise inside her.She fumbled for her phone and called me, but every call went straight to voicemail. Her messages went unanswered as well.She grabbed Tina by the shoulders and demanded frantically, “What do you mean, he never showed up? Where is he?”Tina frowned and answered cautiously, “The only thing we could find out is that he’s somewhere in Westmere. We don’t know exactly where.”Her voice grew quieter with every word, while Amanda only became more furious.Just then, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway. Kevin appeared in his exquisitely tailored, extravagant best man’s suit and quickly made his way over to Amanda.“Amanda, is Leigh still jealous over nothing? Maybe I should go talk to him.”He put on his most understanding and considerate expression.In the past, such moments always made Amanda feel that

Two hours later, I arrived at the international airport.I was about to walk to the departure lounge when I received a message from Amanda’s mother, Rebecca Gordon.[Leigh, where are you? Let’s have dinner.]I typed and deleted several replies. I hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.Since I had decided to call off the wedding, I owed both families an explanation.After all, Amanda and I had been together for seven years. Her mother had always treated me reasonably well.I only realized this was not a friendly dinner when I entered the private dining room. It was an ambush.Amanda and Kevin sat together in the seats of honor with her arm linked through his, while they had left me a seat across from them.“Leigh, you made it.”Rebecca stood up to welcome me, but Amanda merely curled her lip in disdain.“Mom, you worry too much. I already told you Leigh would never leave me. He loves me too much. Why did you even bother setting up this apology dinner?”Rebecca cle
