Chapter6
.
In the past, I would always fight with Xavier whenever he found an excuse to see Chloe.
But now that I’ve let go, I realize how pointless I was.[]
They’ve always wanted to be together.
What was I doing trying to keep them apart?
I used to take pride in our eight–year relationship.[]
Now I see it was just a one–person show.
After that day, Xavier didn’t come home or contact me for days.[]
But I kept seeing updates from Chloe on social media.[]
“Xavier took me to the amusement park today. It reminded me of our childhood.“[]
“I feel so safe with Xavier by my side. You’re all jealous, right?“]
It was like she was afraid I didn’t know she was with him.]
I couldn’t care less about those two, focusing on learning about the Crawford market.[]
One night, I was working late at the office when Xavier called.]
“You’re still at the office this late?“]
I knew he was home, so I calmly replied.[]
“I’m working late. What’s up?“]
There was a moment of silence, then Xavier sighed.[]
“Ariella, I think…. something’s not right with our relationship. Can we talk? I’ll pick you up.“]
“No need. I’ll take a cab home.”
I had learned enough about the Crawford market.
Once my visa came through, I was heading there.
It was time to have a serious talk with Xavier.
