I stood there, quietly looking at him, without responding.
I had never seen Joey so humble before.
Watching the person I once placed on a pedestal, now standing in front of me, begging for my forgiveness in a low
voice.
But all I felt was as calm as still water.
How much I once wished Joey could be more caring and attentive, now felt so ironic when I heard these words.
Even though I loved him so much in the past, now I have truly let him go.
After a while, I broke free from Joey’s embrace and calmly said: “Don’t bother, Joey, we’re already over.”
Joey couldn’t believe it, his lips tightened, and his voice trembled slightly: “No… I’ve finally realized my feelings, Willa, the one I love is you, and the one I want to spend the rest of my life with is…”
I frowned and coldly interrupted him: “Joey, I’ve loved you for five years, and you only realize it now, isn’t it too late?”
“You married me in the first place just to make Stacy jealous. The restaurant you took me to was actually Stacy’s favorite. As soon as Stacy came back to the country, you put all your attention on her, even losing yourself.”
Joey was stunned.
He didn’t expect that I had known all along but never said anything.
I looked at him and continued: “Moreover, even without Stacy, our marriage would have ended sooner or later.”
“I no longer want to struggle to maintain this one–sided marriage.”
My eyes were as calm as still water, cutting deeply into Joey’s heart like a knife.
Joey’s eyes flickered: “I know our marriage was rushed and we weren’t prepared, it’s my fault.”
“But at least… give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?”
“Alright,” I looked at him and smiled faintly: “I just need you to do one thing for me.”
Joey’s eyes brightened.
“Anything I can do, just name it.”
I also knew that he was always willing to spend money on me.
But what I wanted was not that.

Chapter 15
“I just need you to disappear from my sight completely, starting now, and never bother me again.”
Joey’s face turned pale with each word 1 spoke: “No.”
“Only this is not possible.”
His voice was hoarse, and the last two words seemed to tremble slightly.
