Once again, Luna abandoned me for someone else. Normally, I should be furious, but at this moment, I felt unusually calm, even a little scary. All these years of indifference and alienation have gradually worn away my feelings for her. Even if I witnessed her partiality with my own eyes, I was indifferent.

I sat on the sofa and poured myself a glass of water, but I couldn't move my injured right arm. The wound was still aching, especially in the dead of night, the pain was more severe. Every pain reminded me of the helplessness and fear of that day.

Luna came back in the middle of the night. She woke me up by putting her coat on me. Although I have returned to China, I still can't get out of the shadow of the past, and I stay alert when I sleep.

Seeing that I woke up, she simply sat next to me and asked softly, "Why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"

"I'm too lazy to move." I waved the coat she put on me because it was stained with Alex's perfume, and the mere smell of it made me feel nauseous.

Luna leaned over to pick up her coat and looked at me with some helplessness in her eyes. "It's my fault for forgetting you there, but you shouldn't take your anger out on others and question my relationship with Alex."

I responded calmly: "Yeah."

" Ethan Brown , I understand your emotions, but don't go too far. Alex and I are just from the same school, and since you have returned to China, why didn't you tell me and make me worry."

Worried? If she was really worried, she wouldn't have left me alone in Country Y and ignored me for so many days. In the past, I might have been moved by her gentle words, but from the moment I saw Alex appear in my house, I knew that she really didn't care about me.

If she wants to, she knows how to take care of and protect people. From the beginning, I was the one who pursued Luna . I was determined to be with her and thought that as long as I could pursue the person I loved, it would be worth it. But in this unequal relationship, she was always on top, and I could only humble myself and please her.

For her, I used family resources to help her study abroad, and stayed there to take care of her. This even angered my parents, and my father was so angry that he cut off my financial support. Later, Luna took the initiative to propose to me. I thought my sincere efforts touched her, but after a few years of marriage, she was still cold to me.

"It was wrong of me to leave you alone there, but I had to return home immediately for an urgent matter, and Alex followed me back because of this," she explained.

"Oh, I see." I responded calmly.

"Ethan Brown, what's your attitude?" she asked with some dissatisfaction.

I touched my aching shoulder, and I was too weak to argue with her. "Sorry, it's too late today and I'm tired."

Maybe I was too easy to talk to before, so easy that she thought I could get rid of it anyway. She thought that she could get over it by giving a light explanation. But now, I don't want to listen to any excuses from Luna anymore .

I ignored Luna and went back to my room and locked the door. After hesitating for a while, I took a deep breath, opened my address book, and nervously called my mother. When I heard the familiar voice I hadn't heard for a long time, I couldn't hide my sobs: "Mom, I want a divorce."

In the past, I delayed too many things for Luna, and gave up the career of the family heir to fulfill her. Now, I don't want her anymore, I want to live my own life. After a heart-to-heart talk, my parents forgave my previous willfulness. "Your father said that after you have dealt with your personal affairs, he will send you to the North China region to hone your abilities." I held the phone and replied with a heavy "yes". They also contacted a top lawyer for me to prepare for divorce. With the expectation of the future, I fell asleep again.
