After He Left Me Behind, My Wedding Ring Changed Hands Chapter 09

What had happened to her over the past two years?

She mistook my surprise for contempt, and the hatred in her eyes intensified.

“Are you happy now that you’ve seen me like this?”

“You shameless homewrecker!”

People nearby began gathering to watch.

It was just like two years ago, except this time I wasn’t embarrassed.

I had stopped caring a long time ago.

And this time, Reid wasn’t going to stand there as a silent bystander.

He stepped directly in front of me and shoved Elise back.

“Enough!”

“A homewrecker? Elise, if you hadn’t come between Mara and me in the first place, we never would have broken up!”

“Mara is the only woman I’ve ever loved. Stop twisting the truth and blaming her!”

He was breathing hard.

Elise raked her nails across his face, leaving several scratches. He looked a complete mess.

Reid’s greatest regret was ever letting someone as unhinged as Elise into his life.

It had cost him Mara and turned his entire life into chaos.

With that thought, he shoved Elise to the ground, his expression dark.

“Get out!”

Elise covered her mouth and ran off crying.

Reid turned back to me, too ashamed to meet my eyes.

I almost laughed.

A sharp sense of vindication rose inside me.

“You too. Get lost.”

Then I walked away as he watched me with sadness in his eyes.

Snow was falling.

The figure outside the building stood motionless for a long time, as though trapped in the past.
