Chapter 7 

David quickly curled his fingers back, making me nervous too. 

My senior, now a senior translator at the UN Office in Geneva, still maintained that shy demeanor from our 

college days. 

David cleared his throat softly and pulled out a folder from his briefcase. “Materials for next week’s 

Asia-Pacific Economic Forum. I’ve already highlighted the key points for you. Follow a few more large 

conferences like this, and you can try simultaneous interpretation on your own.” 

Looking at the dense notes, I smiled warmly. 

Since coming to Switzerland, David had been like a solid barrier between me and my past. 

He helped me find a studio apartment, and worried I’d be lonely, so he got me a guard dog. 

Because my body was weak from the miscarriage, he took a twenty-minute detour every day to drive me to 

work. 

I was about to thank him when my phone vibrated. 

Seeing it was an unknown number from the States, I hung up. 

“Him again?” David frowned. 

For these three months, Ryan had tried various ways to contact me, even reaching out to David. 

I shook my head and put my phone on silent. “No need to pay attention.” 

After a pleasant evening with colleagues, I took the dog’s leash and went downstairs for a walk. 

I hadn’t gone far when a familiar figure blocked my path. 

“Emily,” Ryan’s eyes reddened the moment he spoke. “I’ve been looking for you for so long.” 

Three months apart, he had lost a lot of weight, with obvious dark circles under his eyes. 

I tightened the dog’s leash and stepped back. “Don’t come closer.” 

Hurt by the coldness in my eyes, Ryan pressed forward regardless. 

Just as he was about to speak, the guard dog went into attack mode, barking and snapping at him. 

Ryan acted as if he didn’t see it, step by step backing me against the wall. “We need to talk.” 

I frowned. “We have nothing to talk about.” 

He punched the wall beside my ear, trapping me in the narrow space. “Emily Carter, have you forgotten our 

three years together? You left without a word at the wedding, thinking you could end everything with a simple 

divorce agreement? What do you take me for?”

A crisp slap echoed by the riverside, his left cheek quickly swelling red. 

After a long silence, the disbelief in his eyes gradually turned to despair. “Emily, what exactly do I have to do 

to satisfy you? I’ve already restored your reputation. As soon as you come back, I’ll promote you to associate 

professor! Jessica has been fired and handed over to the police. I can promise you I’ll never contact her 

again for the rest of my life! Isn’t that enough?”
