Chapter 9 Extra [ unbing chapter export ] Chapter December 28 , 2025 .
I divorced Sebastian Clem .
The snow fell heavily that day , and I didnt have an umbrella .
He offered to drive me home , but I shook my head .
He suggested we visit our regular café .
He remembered I loved hot cocoa with sugar and milk and the soft strawberry bread .
He recalled the loving couple from the café , wondering how they were now .
1/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points ) He kept talking , trying to say everything he hadnt before .
Finally , he grew tired .
He asked , Why arent you leaving ? I answered truthfully , Im waiting for someone .
He asked , Who ? After we split , he grew curious about my life .
Suddenly , the car headlights on the street flashed , and Lars Clarke got out , smiling , Sis , I came to take you home .
I didnt hesitate anymore , rushing to him , intimately linking arms and leaving without looking back .
2/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points Sebastian Clem remained standing there alone .
Earlier , I hadnt told Sebastian Clem .
I still prefer milk tea over hot cocoa; the café only served coffee .
The café closed down five years ago due to poor management .
Also , that loving couple divorced .
The husband was caught cheating , and the heartbroken wife returned to her family .
Lars Clarkes POV People say I got close to Zelene Reyes because I slightly resembled Sebastian Clem .
3/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points I turned a deaf ear to it , never responding .
Because for me , being by Zelene Reyess side was enough .
Regarding my status , I never dared to dream .
She is forever my golden benefactor , while I remain her loyal boyfriend .
I will stay by her side until the day she tires of me .
Time will tell everything .
They will be astounded .
No one knows .
When I was nineteen , I had a car accident .
4/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points Death was a release for me .
So I did not fear it .
Nothing in this world was worth my attachment .
But in the last second of losing consciousness .
I heard someone calling me .
The voice came from afar , unclear , like someone was crying .
She sounded desperate and scared , begging humbly , Please … dont leave me … Why ? If I died , my family would receive a large compensation , allowing them to live well and 5/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points my little sister to attend a good college .
If I died , they would lead a happy life .
So … why ? With this doubt , I survived .
Awakened fully , I regretted my reckless act .
I couldnt afford the high medical bills from the accident , tried to run , but was stopped by the doctor .
Someone has already paid .
Take care , and she will come to see you .
I grew curious , who was she ? Doctor , whats her name ? 6/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points Miss Zelene Reyes .
Zelene Reyes , what a beautiful name .
I started paying attention to anything about her .
I knew she was married , called a shrew , had a bad reputation , I knew everything about her … I knew that on the day it rained heavily , Sebastian Clem broke the appointment , and Zelene Reyes frantically searched the entire A City until she found me , lying in a pool of blood , with a slightly similar face to Sebastian Clem .
No one knew how helpless and desperate Zelene Reyes was at that time , thinking her willful behavior had killed Sebastian Clem , she repented in pain and regret .
7/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points She cried , my heart ached .
Even if the one she cared for wasnt me .
Later , Zelene Reyes and Sebastian Clem divorced .
Three years passed , and we got married .
Sebastian Clems POV I made a monumental mistake , one that Id spend the rest of my life atoning for .
Which day it was , I cant recall .
Eight years a long time enough to erode all passions .
Beatrice Meyer appeared just then .
8/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points Youthful and vibrant , she possessed an energy and liveliness that Zelene Reyes lacked .
Gradually , my attention was captured by Beatrice Meyer , and eventually , I was consumed by it .
I became increasingly critical of Zelene Reyes ; she seemed neither mature nor composed , still like a child .
She was too willful , forbidding any woman from getting close to me , causing a scene if she found out .
She insisted I come straight home after work , preferably with a bouquet of flowers , as she adored such romance .
She wanted us to vacation in the Maldives , capturing videos and photographs to look 9/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points back on when we were old .
She wished to celebrate anniversaries annually , needing thoughtfully prepared gifts made by hand .
She said so much .
But it wasnt until she left that I began to remember .
When did things start to change ? I think I will always recall .
2017.12.28 .
I accompanied Beatrice Meyer for an abortion .
She didnt cry or cause trouble , only requested that I spend her birthday with her .
10/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points I didnt refuse , my heart softened , and I agreed .
The rain was pouring hard that day ; deep inside , a sense of impending loss lingered , as though I was going to lose something precious .
Subconsciously , I reached for my phone , discovering it was already turned off .
Beatrice Meyer appeared at that moment , diverting my attention .
I returned home before dawn the following day to find Zelene Reyes asleep on the sofa , waiting .
The unease in my heart quieted then .
She seemed strange , not approaching me to sniff out womens perfume on me , not 11/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points questioning my whereabouts when I didnt return home she did nothing , merely lay quietly on the sofa , never even glancing my way .
I braced for accusations , but to my surprise , she simply asked calmly .
Do you remember what yesterday was ? What ? Later , she said a lot .
We had a huge fight .
But largely , it was me being argumentative one sidedly .
For the first time , she was so calm , she seemed unfamiliar and frightening .
12/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points She said , Okay .
After that day , she never bothered about me again .
She didnt care if I came home on time after work , didnt care if I stayed out all night , or which women I associated with … She became sensible and considerate , becoming what I imagined .
Yet I found her … utterly unfamiliar .
The feeling of loss grew stronger .
Until I heard her say directly .
Lets divorce .
She didnt stop caring .
She just didnt love me anymore .
13/16 Chapter 9 + 5 Points She withdrew all her warmth and caprices , turning rational and composed .
She once asked me , I did as you wanted .
Why are you still not happy ? Yes , why is that ? I wanted her to love me ; to love me as I imagined .
But I forgot that I never loved the version of her I concocted in my mind .
