Madison was sick of his antics. He was getting engaged to Andrea, but he still refused to let go of her.
But she dared not go up against Hunter for now.
“I went to visit my dad with my childhood friend.”
Madison took off her high heels, massaging her sore ankles. She placed the bags aside and then put on a pair of plush slippers.
Going to the bathroom, she removed her makeup. She treated Hunter like he wasn’t there.
She scooped up some water to wash her face. When she raised her head again, her face was clean.
Madison’s face looked like it was painted. It was pretty and exquisite, but it lacked color. She looked a little sickly.
She looked at the pair of dark eyes that were reflected in the mirror. “Is there something else, Mr. Williams?”
Hunter scoffed. “Madison, I never thought you were someone like this. If you need something from me, you’d call me Hunter. If not, you’d just call me Mr. Williams.”
Madison dried her face with a towel before turning around. “Mr. Williams, I just went to the hospital with a kid. I didn’t break our promise. Why do you look like I’ve wronged you?”
“A kid? Have you forgotten what he tried to do to you on the cruise?”
“He was drugged by your fiancée back then. Instead of blaming him, you should ask your fiancée about it.”
Madison wasn’t mad at first. But when the past was mentioned, she could barely hold in her anger.
The man in front of her walked closer to her, trapping her against the basin. With a dark look on his face, he said coldly, ” Madison, why are you so dissatisfied?
“I was the one who caused Evans Group to go bankrupt, but I’ve already invested in it so that it would be rebuilt. I hate your father, yes, but him being hospitalized isn’t my doing!”
Madison replied, “I know.”
“You’re worried about the island, so I contributed funds to improve the islanders’ lives. I even handed the Evans residence to you.
“I’m not holding a grudge against those two kids, and I even helped them settle in. When you wanted to join the company, I let you in without another word.”
Hunter gripped her shoulders. “As promised, I don’t touch you without your permission. I told you, I can give you everything aside from the title of Mrs. Williams.
“What more do you want from me?”
Madison smiled. It was an extremely mocking smile.
She pried Hunter’s fingers off her. “Mr. Williams, I’ve never wanted anything from you. I can even let go of the title of Mrs. Williams without any issues.”
Under Hunter’s gleaming gaze, Madison smiled faintly. She said calmly, “In the past, I thought that nothing could rival you. But then I stood still, waiting
“I waited as leaves budded, then cicadas started crying in the summer. The leaves then turned yellow in fall, and lastly, the wind began to howl in winter.
“I couldn’t wait any longer, so I had no choice but to drag my tired body forward. Then, I realized something.
“The spring breeze, the summer cicadas, the leaves in the fall, and even the winter snow… All those things are better than you.”
She lifted her hands, her slender fingers touching the face she used to love with all her heart.
“Hunter, I admit that I haven’t completely forgotten about you. Maybe I won’t be able to wipe you from memory even after many years.
“You’ll still affect my mood and change my thoughts, but… I don’t have the energy to miss you anymore.”
In the end, her fingers touched his lips. “Hunter, aren’t you tired of all those grudges? I am. I don’t want to waste more time on you and Andrea.
“I don’t want to be upset because of people that don’t matter to me anymore. Let’s just go on our separate paths, alright?”
Her face was reflected in Hunter’s eyes. She was supposed to be familiar, but now, he felt that she was a stranger. He felt like he had never seen her before.
Gritting his teeth, he said in a cold voice, “Madison, are you so desperate to cut off ties with me?”
Madison met his gaze. At that moment, she wasn’t afraid, nor was she pretending.
“Yes. If I weren’t looking for Leo, I wouldn’t have gone to you. I don’t like Andrea, and I don’t want to be a second Andrea either. I don’t want to get involved with you while you’re married.
“Divorce isn’t just a contract written on a piece of paper; it’s a decision made by two adul do is to respect your own choice.”
He released her shoulders. “I hope you don’t regret your decision today.”
Madison thought that she would be scared and helpless.
But when the time came, she realized that she was much calmer than expected.
the only thing you have to
“In the past, I was scared of the dark. I was scared that you would leave me and not love me anymore. I would close my eyes and block my ears.
“I stopped where I was. I dared not take another step. But now, I realized that it was scary because I didn’t dare face the problem.
“When I accepted the truth and stopped caring, I realized that you’re the one I fear losing the most. But now that I’ve already lost you, what is left for me to be scared of?”
Hunter parted his lips. He wanted to explain, but in the end, he didn’t know where to start.
He could only let his arms fall by his sides. He looked at Madison with a complicated expression.
“Have you truly made up your mind?”
Madison tried her best to smile. “Hunter, I earnestly tried before. I kept believing this certain saying.

“When you’ve decided to give up on your dreams, tell yourself to hang on. For one more day, one more week, one more month, and even one more year.
“You’ll be surprised with the results from just hanging on.”
Lifting her hand, she held up her index and middle fingers. “Because of this saying, I persisted for two years. I kept waiting for a miracle to happen.
“You don’t know how I felt when I watched the sun setting alone at home. The moon was already in the sky, and the food was reheated over and over again.
“I was waiting for someone who would never return.
“You’ll never understand what it felt like when the Evanss went bankrupt. When my father got into an accident, and when I lost my lover and child. When I lost everything.
“Back then, I rushed to and from the hospital. When I needed you the most, you were spending time with Andrea.”
There were tears in Madison’s eyes, but she remained smiling. “I’ve experienced heartbreak and knives stabbing through my heart. I’ve been betrayed by everyone close to me.
“I struggled in the mud for two whole years, but what did I get in the end? What can I do about it? You don’t need me, so why should I stay?”
Gripping Hunter’s arms, she continued, “I can now feel that you don’t hate me anymore. Since you don’t want to hurt me, Hunter, can you please let me go? For the sake of old times?”
Hunter didn’t say a word. He simply pried her hands away.
That day, he closed the door gently.
Those words had come true. When he was leaving for real, he would close the door at the lowest volume possible.
Madison slid down along the wall of the bathroom. Tears streamed out from between her fingers.
She had let go of the love of her life. This pain was like splashing cold water on a pile of burning coal, putting it out.
If she worked hard, she would succeed. If they loved each other, they would be together. Those lies supported her when she was still passionate about life. She had thrown herself into his embrace.
The fairytales weren’t wrong. The prince and the princess did live happily ever after.
But no fairytale mentioned what life was like for the princess after getting married. There were too many things she couldn’t
Even if she still had a place in Hunter’s heart, she couldn’t accept the fact that he had eyes on another woman as well.
So, she let go. She had completely let go.
She wanted to rediscover her past self.
Madison dialed a number. Then, she heard a voice she hadn’t heard in forever. “How are you?”
“I’m fine, Vince,” Madison said, smiling.
Vince and Madison chatted a little about what was going on in their lives. Madison had always felt guilty for the fact that Hunter had banished Vince because of her.
Vince’s voice was as gentle as always. He was studying overseas, and he had already gotten used to the new surroundings.
He even got himself a nice girlfriend. When he returned in a few years, he would take over the position of head of the hospital. So, his studies weren’t entirely a bad thing
He arranged a stomach check-up for Madison tomorrow.
“Madison, I’m truly glad that you can move on and start life anew.”
“I’ll try my best to live a good life, Vince. Be it a day or a month, I’ll welcome tomorrow with hope.”
