I scrolled past a street interview by a popular influencer. "What would you say to yourself from five years ago?" In the video, Lucas Sterling held his young girlfriend close. His voice was calm, dripping with affection. "I wish the Lucas Sterling of five years ago could have met Bella earlier." The girl in his arms blushed, covering her mouth as she agreed. "Me too." Netizens screamed about how sweet they were, sending blessings in the comments. No one knew that five years ago was the day Lucas and I got married. Even he had forgotten. Until a week later. The same influencer posted another street interview video. In the frame, I looked straight into the camera and said seriously: "If I could, I'd say: Sarah, don't marry Lucas Sterling. You will regret it." This time, Lucas saw it. 1 The day I agreed to the divorce was a very ordinary afternoon. I called Lucas, but Bella picked up. "Hello?" "I'm looking for Lucas." "He's in the shower. Whatever it is, you can tell me." Her voice was as perky and fearless as ever. Faintly laced with a sense of ownership and showing off. In the past, I would have screamed and shouted hysterically for Bella to get lost, demanding to see Lucas. But now, I knew very well that only Bella could reach Lucas. I couldn't let her hang up on me like before. Leaving me alone like a crazy woman. "Didn't he say he wanted a divorce? I agree." I calmly conveyed my message. On the other end, Bella fell silent for a second, then repeated in disbelief. "You agree to the divorce?" "Yes." As soon as the words fell. A rustling sound came through. Lucas must have taken the phone. Soon, his low and indifferent voice sounded in my ear. "It's me." I knew. Hearing his voice, I was a little dazed. After all, since he moved out of the villa six months ago to be with Bella, we hadn't been in contact. The last thing he said to me was: "Sarah, let's get a divorce. If you don't agree, I'll separate from you and then file a lawsuit." Now, six months later, I compromised. "Bella said you want a divorce?" Seeing I was silent, Lucas asked first. He probably frowned when he said this, his tone carrying a hint of confusion. I didn't understand where his confusion came from. Didn't he bring up the divorce? But now I didn't want to argue with Lucas about "who brought it up." I hummed a yes. I told him: "If you have time, let's meet and sign the divorce agreement." With that, I hung up the phone. 2 This was the first time I hung up first since discovering Lucas's affair. Before, I was the one bombarding him with calls and texts. I cursed him with the most vicious words and begged him with the saddest voice. But every time, Lucas would say impatiently: "Can you stop acting like a crazy woman? Talk to me when you're emotionally stable." Then he would mercilessly end the call. No matter how much I called or texted, he ignored me. I tried to stop, but whenever I thought about our years of relationship ending like this, I couldn't control myself. I wanted to question Lucas, why betray me? I also wanted to beg Lucas, please come back, I would forgive him. But after all the resentment and waiting, Lucas remained the same. And I gradually became paranoid, truly as he said, like a crazy woman. I lived in a daze for a long time, immersed in this tormenting relationship. Until three days ago. I scrolled onto a street interview video by an influencer named "Time Capsule." The question was: "What would you say to yourself from five years ago?" Some said study hard. Some said spend more time with family. Some said the self seven years later is great and excellent, living up to expectations. ... In this series of answers, I saw Lucas Sterling and his little girlfriend, Bella. This made me believe it wasn't scripted. After all, with Lucas's current status, even A-list celebrities need an appointment to see him. And this influencer really seemed to be grabbing random passersby for interviews. And he got Lucas. At the beginning of the clip, Lucas seemed a bit displeased with the interview. It was Bella beside him, looking surprised and interested. "So interesting, Lucas, let's play." She shook Lucas's arm, acting coquettishly. Lucas looked helpless but indulged her, agreeing. The influencer briefly introduced himself and his purpose, then asked that unified question. Bella fell into thought. Lucas, seeing her struggle, answered for her first. "If possible, I hope the Lucas of five years ago could have met Bella earlier." When he said this, he had his arm around her. Although his voice was cool, it wasn't hard to hear his protectiveness towards the girl. Bella in his arms looked at him in surprise, then covered her mouth shyly and agreed. "Me too." 3 When I saw this video, it already had tens of thousands of likes. Many netizens in the comments were screaming. 【Damn! This couple is so good-looking! I ship it!】 【Omg, pure love couple! Great, there's hope for us!】 【So sweet! You must be happy! Wishing you a long life together!】 I stared at the video in a daze. Did Lucas like Bella that much? Did he forget? Five years ago, we just got married. That was when our relationship was at its best. Even though we were poor, we felt incredibly happy. And now, he said in the video. He wished he had met Bella five years ago. I thought I would be angry and furious as usual. Then rush to call Lucas to bombard and question him. If he didn't pick up, I would smash everything in the villa and scream to vent. But miraculously. This time, I just sat there motionless. Those comments that should have stung my eyes and provoked my emotions just scrolled past like lines of code. Then, it felt like something was extracted and dispersed from my mind. I was surprised to find. I actually felt nothing about Lucas's behavior. Obsession happens in an instant, and so does letting go. Thus, the phone call earlier. 4 Lucas messaged me. In front of a sea of red exclamation marks indicating failed messages. That white-boxed message was particularly conspicuous. It seemed Lucas had unblocked me. I thought mockingly. Lucas asked me to go to his company tomorrow, Monday. He would have his lawyer draft the agreement. Once both parties communicated without issues, we could sign and wait for the divorce cooling-off period to pass. 【Okay.】 On Monday, I arrived at Lucas's company as agreed. Because I didn't have an appointment, the receptionist called to ask for instructions. "Yes, a lady named Sarah." After hanging up, the receptionist told me to go up to the CEO's office floor, where a secretary would receive me. I said thanks and went straight to Lucas's floor. A strange young girl received me. I didn't know her. After all, since separating from Lucas, I hadn't been here for six months. Probably a new employee. "Miss Sarah, please wait here first. Mr. Sterling is in a meeting." The girl didn't know me either. She called me Miss Sarah and led me to a reception room on the side. Before, I would go directly to Lucas's office to wait. His meetings usually lasted an hour or more. I didn't like waiting for people. Lucas knew this. Afraid I'd be bored, he put many books and DVDs in his office. "You can read books and watch movies. If you're tired, wait for me in the lounge." He told me back then. The last time I came. All my things in Lucas's office had been replaced. The person who could enter his private lounge at will had become someone else. Now, if I wanted to see him, I could only wait in an ordinary reception room. But now I really didn't have the mood or energy to argue over such small things. So I waited quietly. I had plenty of time anyway. What I didn't expect was that I waited for two hours this time. Still, no one came to notify me to see Lucas. "Excuse me, is your CEO's meeting over?" I couldn't help but ask the girl who brought me to the reception room. The girl was evasive: "Mr. Sterling is still in a meeting..." I frowned, about to speak. Suddenly, the sound of talking and laughing came to my ears. "Then let's go eat at that restaurant for lunch." "Okay."
