Chapter 10
Ever since that day, Zane kept bringing me breakfast, even though I always threw it
away.
He continually waited for me to get off work, but I always turned him down.
Even Celeste, who was always close to him, started to feel neglected.
“Zane, why aren’t you replying to my messages?”
Even though we’d already divorced, Celeste was looking forward to celebrating, but she ended up getting the cold shoulder from Zane.
“What do I owe you? Am I obligated to reply?”

Zane frowned, looking at her indifferently.
“Zane, you’ve changed, you weren’t like this before…”
Suddenly, emotion flared in Zane as he glared at Celeste in front of him.
To him, losing me was mainly because of Celeste!
“It’s all your fault for always being around me. If it weren’t for you, my wife wouldn’t have divorced me!”
His eyes reddened as he shouted at Celeste.
Her mind went blank for a moment after his outburst, but when she came to, her expression twisted with anger. “My fault?”

“Zane, if you never gave me a chance, how could I have become the one to interfere with your marriage?”
Celeste laughed mockingly.
Her words pierced Zane’s heart, causing his lips to tremble.
Seeing him so distraught, Celeste was about to explode with anger.
He was the one who accepted her subtle advances, who didn’t reject her.
And now, he suddenly woke up and started to blame her.
But despite her inner fury, Celeste still admired Zane.
To Celeste, Zane was her best option.

He was the only one among her admirers who was ideal!
She hadn’t accepted his confession at first, wanting to keep him interested, enjoy the glory of being admired, and ultimately become good friends with him.
Even after graduating and joining his hospital, he always looked out for her.
This greatly satisfied Celeste’s vanity and made her genuinely like him.
But now, this man who always catered to her whims was beginning to wake up, starting to grow distant.
For Celeste, this was undoubtedly a major emotional hit.

Her face twisted, filled with anger.
Zane, however, ignored her, shot her an angry glare, and left.
Everyone at the hospital knew Zane and I were getting a divorce.
And everyone knew Zane had started pursuing me again, in a very high–profile and passionate way.
Zane’s colleagues advised him to let go and stop bothering me.
But Zane refused; he said he couldn’t be without me.
Meanwhile, the girls in my department advised me.
They said Zane was excellent, and he cared

about me.
Even though his past actions were inappropriate, they weren’t deal–breakers. Why not give it another try?
I chuckled and shook my head.
“Once someone loses hope, they can’t go back to how they were.”
Besides, even without Celeste, there would be someone else.
“Marlowe, how can you do this to me!” Zane couldn’t fathom how I could be so resolute.
Staring at the statue of the moon goddess before me, I took a deep breath, “Oh noble Moon Goddess, hear my plea: your faithful follower Marlowe, refuses Zane as my
partner!”

I closed my eyes, quietly awaiting the legendary punishment the moon goddess. would bestow for defying fate.
Compared to physical pain, the heartache of betrayal and abandonment hurt me more.
Despite Zane’s resistance, he had no choice but to accept the outcome after my defiance.
All of this was caused by his carelessness, his lack of love.
If it had been before, I might have believed him once, given him another chance.
But because I gave too many chances, I’ve become completely disheartened.
Perhaps the night my father passed away, I decided to live for myself.

Now, the mate tie between him and me had become burdensome.
I’ve decided to let him go entirely.
According to my father’s will, I temporarily handed over Alpha to Zane.
There are still many things I need to learn, and my records have been transferred to another hospital.
During this time, I want to visit other packs to learn more about management and medical knowledge.
Besides, this place holds too many sad
memories for me, so I don’t want to stay here
now.
I didn’t tell Zane about this, but he came to

my office.
The two of us stood face to face in the quiet office, so silent even our breathing was audible.
“Are you really leaving?” Zane’s deep voice carried a hint of melancholy.
I nodded, “People always have to look forward.”
I have no reason to stay for someone else; I am who I am.
Zane fell silent for a long time, then he smiled.
I smiled too, a smile of relief.
He thrust the bouquet he was holding into my arms, afraid I wouldn’t accept it.

“Thank you.” I nodded to him, then turned and left.
Before leaving, I saw his lips move as if he wanted to say something.
But I didn’t give him the chance, because it wasn’t necessary.
Whether it was a blessing or a plea to stay, it was no longer important to me.
I hope that the days ahead will be smooth sailing, and I will step into a new phase of my life.
As he watched me leave, Zane recalled the moments we shared.
We were so in love and happy back then.

But then Celeste came, and my father died.
His heart ached as if we were still there with him.
“I’m sorry, Master, I’m sorry Marlowe…”
Zane muttered to himself, eyes vacant.
He began to regret it, but it was too late.
