Chapter 26
I sighed.
“You’re wrong, Noah. I didn’t marry someone else out of spite. It’s because I don’t love you anymore.”
“You probably don’t know this, but I actually came back looking for you once.”
Noah’s tear–filled eyes widened. His soaked lashes trembled.
I looked into them calmly.
Three months after going abroad, I had regretted it too.
How could I possibly let go of an eighteen–year bond so easily?
During that time, I felt lonely and miserable every second.
I cried day and night, hating myself for acting on impulse and leaving the country. The longing wrapped around me like
wild vines, suffocating me.
I hoped Noah would one day appear beside me. But every time I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by strangers in a foreign land.
Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore.
I bought a ticket and flew home.
I still remembered that it had been a rainy night.
I sat through a seven- or eight–hour flight, then took a cab in the rain straight to Noah’s university.
I was soaked to the bone.
But what I saw was him and Elise Simmons kissing in front of the research building.
Their bodies pressed together, clinging as if they couldn’t bear to part.
I honestly couldn’t remember whether the cold came from the rain or from my heart.
I only knew that from head to toe, I felt frozen solid.
Noah-
You said you missed me.
But in seven years, you never reached out.
You never once asked about my life abroad–didn’t know a thing. And you never searched for me the way I had searched
for you,
crossing oceans and continents.

You didn’t love me.
What you loved was the devoted version of yourself that you thought existed in your head.
Noah sobbed uncontrollably.
His voice rasped, and he whispered in anguish-
“No… no… it’s not like that…”
