Chapter 343

“I… can’t even remember how you found me back then, or what you said,” Trey said.

She had been the shadow he had longed for, the warmth he had yearned for with every fiber of his being.

That feeling-pure, intense, incomparable-no one else in his life could ever replicate. Not even Angela.

From the moment she had entered his life, that all-consuming feeling in Trey’s heart had vanished, never to return. And only now, after all this time, did he realize: perhaps the reckless devotion and self-delusion of the past ten years had been nothing but a foolish obsession.

The heart never truly aches over what it has, but over what it cannot have-or what it has lost.

That, perhaps, was the nature of his relationship with Angela.

“You… what are you trying to say?” Angela’s voice trembled with irony. She seemed to understand him, yet the situation was almost cruel. “So you can erase what you don’t remember and pretend it never existed?”

“My gratitude toward you… that will never change,” Trey said, his voice low, hoarse. “But my feelings for you… they’re like those memories that have grown hazy. I don’t even know when… they became incomplete.”

Even to his own ears, his words sounded cruel, shameless, selfish. But he was too tired now, too drained to continue lying.

The red mole behind Angela’s ear was gone. No matter how hard he tried, he could never forget Khloe.

“Trey… I just want to ask one thing. If it weren’t for the debt you owe me on the snow mountain, would you have loved me all these years?”

Angela held back her tears, asking the question in a calm, even tone.

Trey lowered his head. After a long silence, his voice came out bitter and heavy. “…I don’t know.”

Ten years of love, devotion, and sacrifice culminated in a single, heart-shattering phrase.

Angela felt her breath freeze. The edges of her lips twitched involuntarily. From head to toe, she felt as if every nerve had been stripped away.

“Daddy! Mommy!”

At that moment, Pete’s voice called from the doorway.

He had been sleeping in the room next door but was woken by the raised voices. Though he didn’t understand what was happening, he heard his mother crying and instantly felt hurt.

His Daddy hadn’t been paying attention to him and his Mommy these days. He couldn’t help but wonder if his dad no longer wanted them.

Seeing her son, Angela forced herself to compose a smile. She wiped at the corner of her eye and said gently, Pete, why are you up so early?”

Just as she reached out to hug him, Trey’s hand gripped her wrist.

“Think about the compensation. Let’s settle it in the next couple of days. Dragging this out benefits no one.”

His voice was gentle-but sharper than any blade, slicing straight to her core.

Without waiting for a reply, he turned and walked away.

Pete tilted his head toward him, hesitating, calling again, “Daddy?”

But Trey’s steps never faltered. It was as if he hadn’t heard.

“Does Daddy really not want me anymore?”

Pete clung to Angela, whispering the question with wide, confused eyes. The pride and stubbornness that normally defined him had vanished, leaving only a small child’s helplessness.

Angela’s throat tightened. Words of comfort would not come. She held him closer, refusing to let go. No-she could not lose. For her son, she had to endure, she had to persist.

Evening came.

Trey had planned to wait until Pete slept before discussing the divorce with Angela. But when he returned, the house was empty.

Angela had left in a hurry, taking only a few belongings-and Pete with her.
