The Day I Left He Proposed But I No Longer Wanted Marriage Chapter 14

The Day I Left He Proposed But I No Longer Wanted Marriage Chapter 14

Three years after Evan and I broke up.

Relying on my own abilities, I founded an international translation and PR consulting firm of my own.

I chose an office in New York’s most bustling district.

Dad’s health had improved greatly under recuperation, and every day at home he and my sister nagged me to go on blind dates.

I always smiled and brushed it off.

Not because my heart still held onto anyone.

I just felt that building my career alone, free and unrestrained, was truly more satisfying than anything else.

As for Evan—New York is only so big. I’d run into him now and then at business galas.

But perhaps we had both matured—he never came chasing after me the way he used to.

Instead, like strangers, a single nod between us counted as a greeting.

I’d occasionally overhear others mention news of him.

I heard that the second year after I left, he finally bowed to his family’s wishes and entered into an arranged marriage with Claire.

That wedding was held on a massive scale, shaking all of New York.

But life after marriage turned into a complete disaster.

Claire was shrewish and willful, and desperately insecure—paranoid and suspicious all day long.

Evan turned into a workaholic, to the point where he couldn’t even stand going home.

The two of them fought day in and day out, quarreling endlessly.

In less than half a year, this marriage—in name only—came to its end.

By the time they divorced, the Bennett family and the Harrison family had completely torn each other’s faces off.

The whole mess boiled over into a public scandal in the business world, turning into a laughingstock.

When I heard all this news, I didn’t really feel anything.

The past that had once shattered my heart so completely—

now, hearing it, was nothing more than idle gossip for other people to chat about over tea after dinner.
