Chapter 10
The day we went to get our divorce certificate was beautiful with clear skies.
When Mason appeared before me, he had obviously lost a lot of weight, his cheeks somewhat sunken.
During this time, through online comments, he had come to understand that what he did to me was unforgivable.
He no longer asked for my forgiveness.
As we left, he walked in front of me, head down, completely silent.
But somehow the news of our divorce filing had leaked online.
When we stepped outside, a massive crowd had already gathered.
Mason intentionally positioned himself in front of me.
But in an instant, he realized that among these people, the one who should be more aware of danger was HIMSELF.
The next moment, a torrent of abuse flew at him.
“Scumbag!”
“Bastard!”
“Go to hell!”
Someone suddenly threw a half cup of coffee at him, soaking him completely, while others continually threw various pieces of trash.
Mason just stood there, motionless, as if intentionally letting the crowd vent their anger.
I quietly moved away from him, afraid of getting hit by the flying objects.
The crowd’s fury wasn’t easily appeased.
If Mason hadn’t brought bodyguards, we might never have been able to leave.
After getting away from the crowd, he offered to see me home.
But the smell on him made me uncomfortable.
He didn’t insist, only asking if we could have a meal together.
My first instinct was to refuse, but this time, I saw the sincerity in his eyes.

Fine, I’ll consider it a farewell dinner.
With that thought, I agreed on a time.
He chose a restaurant near our old university.
It wasn’t fancy, but it was where we had our first date.
I took one look and felt he was recycling his old tricks again.
Before getting into his car, I expected him to talk the entire way there.
But strangely, he was as silent as if he’d lost his voice.
I glanced at him in surprise, and he just smiled without saying anything.
It was really weird…
We soon arrived at the restaurant.
The manager had changed, and the waitstaff had turned over several times.
The decor was very different from before.
The only thing that remained the same was that most of the patrons were students.
They were experiencing the most innocent kind of love.
They had no idea how cruel the future could be.
Thinking about this, I taunted the man beside me: “What’s this? Even for our farewell dinner you can’t splurge on something nice? So typical of your stingy nature.”
He wasn’t upset, just looking at me intently.
“Victoria, do you think I’m trying to get back together with you?”
I shook my head: “I’m not sure, but the only thing I am sure of is that you’re definitely up to no good.”
That’s when I noticed Mason’s eyes had grown much deeper.
“I won’t repeat all those tired old lines.”
“Online they say I was your misfortune. I’ve thought about it, and maybe they’re right. Without me, you probably would have had a good life back in your hometown.”
“I just hope you’ll be well from now on.”

His voice was very soft.
Like he was settling his final affairs.
I snorted, “If you’re going to die, just get on with it. Who are you putting on this sad face for?”
Hearing this, Mason turned away dejectedly.
“I’m sorry…”
“Stop! I’m so sick of hearing ‘I’m sorry‘.”
The server came over.
They brought the deluxe premium steak we couldn’t afford to order years ago.
I cut a piece and, under Mason’s expectant gaze, put it in my mouth.
“It’s not good.”
I didn’t say the rest–It wasn’t as good as the ordinary steak we ate years ago.
But there was no need for him to hear that anyway..
When love is deep, even eating grass feels like happiness.
When that love is gone, nothing tastes good anymore.
After a simple meal, Mason drove me back to my bakery.
As I got out of the car, he whispered: “Victoria, I won’t bother you again.”
I felt something was off, but didn’t think too much about it.
Not bothering me was the wisest choice he could make.
But the next day, I saw the news of Mason’s death trending online.
After dropping me off at the store, he went to a bar for drinks, then returned to our old university.
He sat on a bench by the lake for a long time, lost in thought.
Security cameras caught him apparently trying to retrieve something before stumbling into the lake.
Later, someone found a ring lying on the shore.
Based on this, a story of heartbreak became clear-

He had been sitting on the bench, holding the ring and reminiscing about our marriage.
When the ring suddenly fell, he tried to retrieve it but lost his balance and fell into the lake.
At this time, Jaade sent me a celebratory message.
“Did you see the trending news? Good riddance! Heaven really takes betrayers quickly!”
But some people thought he might have committed suicide.
Because he had apparently drawn up a will at some point, transferring his shares to me.
And the alcohol he drank wasn’t very strong–how could he have been so dizzy?
Regardless, a genius who single–handedly built a business empire had suddenly fallen.
No matter what his character was like in life, internet users felt at least some regret.
Looking at the news, I felt a slight ripple in my heart.
I remembered the year we got married, when his company wasn’t doing well yet.
But he still did his best to buy us matching rings for $2,000, one for him and one for me.
hough it didn’t have a diamond, I happily wore it every day.
I had more expensive rings, I still habitually wore that one.
the divorce, I locked this ring in a drawer.
And now I was running my fingers over this ring…
lade’s voice came through the video call, asking if I thought it was suicide or an accident.
came back to myself and vaguely dodged the question.
Actually, I knew it was suicide.
pulled out a small card hidden under the ring, with a line he had promised me on our wedding day-“Dear Victoria, only death can separate my heart from wanting to be near you.”
just never imagined this sentence would come true in this way.
Perhaps time will wash away everything, people will forget Mason, and I will get better and better.
