The Wind Between Our Goodbye

On our third wedding anniversary, I waited for Xander Christian for five hours at his favorite restaurant.

Once again, he has disappeared.

In the end, I found out where he went on the social media of his childhood sweetheart, Josie Law.

He took her to Antartrica.

[I just said I was in a bad mood, so he ditched the whole world just to cheer me up. Turns out, he cheers me up much more than the penguins.]

In the photos, it was all icy and frosty, but he held her gently in his arms. I had never seen such blazing warmth in his eyes. Not once was it ever directed at me.

At that moment, I was just tired.

I was too tired to question.

I was too tired to fight.

I was too tired to cry.

I simply liked the post and sent him a short message, [Let's get a divorce.]

A long time later, he finally replied with a voice message, his tone was full of careless amusement, "Sure. I'll sign the papers when I'm back. We'll see who ends up begging me not to leave."

Those who were loved and favored were often fearless. He didn't believe my words at all.

Yet, Xander—

No one was truly indispensable. People would only stay because they were in love.

From this moment on, I no longer loved you.

I dined alone in the restaurant.

My stomach was full, but my heart felt hollow.

When I returned home, I printed the divorce papers. I was just about to sign them when my phone vibrated.

Josie Law sent me a screen recording of a video call. In the video, she and Xander Christian were standing on the deck of a luxury cruise ship. On the other end of the line were their friends cheering with admiration.

"A trip to Antartrica? That costs at least 100 thousand! Xander had never once taken Josephine on even a 10-thousand-dollar trip, right?"

"He spends money on where his love is!"

"It's surprising that Josephine didn't even make a scene this time. She even liked the post!"

Josie said in a feigned huff, "Of course she did. She even asked Xander for a divorce."

The other friends erupted in shocked gasps.

"Josephine used to only throw small tantrums, and now, she'd even dare bring up divorce? She's not serious, is she?"

"Of course not," Xander replied calmly. "She just wants me to go back and keep her company. I was heading back soon, yes, but I hate being threatened the most. So, I've decided to accompany Josie for a few more days."

His eyes gleamed icily, but when he lifted his hand to smooth Josie's wind-tousled hair, his demeanor softened.

Their friends teased them again.

"Get a room!"

"Xander, why don't you just take this chance and divorce Josephine?"

"Everyone knows that the only reason Josephine could end up with you back then is because of Josie. Now that Josie's back, she can step aside."

"Yes,
