Did you really say that ? A voice from behind interrupted , followed by a chorus of greetings .
Hello , Mr.
Lowe , hello , Chair Lowe , boss I turned to find Lachlan had joined us .
He wrapped an arm around me and addressed Gideon in an even tone .
Is this your ex boyfriend ? Fearing he might get jealous , I quickly clarified .
We were together for a month when we were young , but we havent spoken in ten years My hasty explanation left Gideon visibly shaken .
I added , I never promised to love him for life Gideon understood my implication .
That promise belonged to another time .
In this life , we chose new paths , rendering it irrelevant .
He protested , But we have so much history .
How can you forget everything and be with someone else ? Fionas expression darkened , and I sighed .
Why not ? Arent you and Fiona together ? Youre getting married next month , and now youre blaming me ? Isnt that a bit much ? 9:44 AM < Gideon flushed at my words , struggling to respond , but Fiona interrupted .
Gideon , lets go .
Shes married now , and its none of your business .
Im the one whos always been by your side ! But when she tried to pull him away , he pushed her aside .
Fionas face turned red with anger .
In the past , Gideon would have comforted her , but now he ignored her completely .
Fiona shot me a hateful look , unable to hide her resentment .
Lachlan chuckled , sizing up Gideon .
So , youre her ex ? Hmm … Her taste was rather ordinary before .
Are you thinking of trying again? Gideon paled , fumbling to explain .
No , I , I … I raised my hand to stop him .
Gideon , whatever we had is over .
I have a family now , and you have someone you love .
I wish you happiness .
Those last words hit Gideon hard , leaving him speechless .
He stared at me , tears in his eyes .
Adeline , have you really forgotten our past ? I cant believe it .
We were together for Lachlans displeasure was obvious .
He laughed coldly .
It was only a month .
How long is that really ? Longer than our marriage ? I knew Gideon was referring to our past life when I stayed by his side for ten years .
But telling that to Lachlan wouldnt make him understand .
I shook my head , cutting Gideon off .
I havent forgotten ; Ive moved on .
I dont care anymore .
In this life , we chose different paths , which means the past doesnt matter .
I returned his previous words to him .
* Gideon , let go of the past .

Its long over between us .
As soon as I said this , Gideons eyes welled with tears .
SO long , and you loved me so much .
I didnt want to continue the conversation , but before I could move on , Lachlan spoke casually .
Theard someone accused my wife of theft and wanted to report her to the police ? The waiter , trembling , quickly apologized .
It was my mistake .
I misjudged your wife .
I apologize to both of you ! He bowed deeply , his arrogance gone .
After dealing with the waiter , Lachlan turned to Fiona .
You wanted to introduce my wife to a new job at my hotel ? Should I thank you for that ? 9:44 AM <
