I Was Never Part of Their Story novel Chapter 2

As I expected, after Aria returned to the country, Caleb completely forgot about me.

In the past, I would obsessively search for Caleb after our divorce, lying in wait at the places he was likely to appear. Now, I spent my days having fun with my best friend, Talia Winston. We ate whatever we wanted and drank whenever we wanted.

In the blink of an eye, there were only 20 days left before I was to leave the country.

That day, Talia and I were waiting for our food to be served when Caleb and Aria happened to walk into the same restaurant. Caleb's arm was wrapped around Aria's waist as they laughed and chatted with each other, looking like a match made in heaven.

"Melissa?"

Almost immediately, Caleb caught sight of me.

Aria snaked her arms around his neck in an affectionate gesture, a saccharine sweet smile curving on her lips.

"Melissa, what a coincidence! You're here to eat too?"

As my gaze turned to Aria, Caleb instinctively took a step forward to hide her behind him. I knew it was because he was worried I would lunge forward to attack Aria as I had in the past.

Defying his expectations, I didn't do so, and even held back Talia, who was about to protest in outrage on my behalf.

I let out an unbothered laugh. "Yeah, what a coincidence."
