Jack was overwhelmed with guilt.
If given the chance to start over, he would have stayed true to himself.
But life offered no second chances.
Standing on an unfamiliar street, he felt utterly lost, like a child unsure of what to do next.
Should he keep searching?
Absolutely.
But where should he even begin?
“Hello, the woman in this photo is my wife. She’s upset with me and wandered off, and I’m trying to find her. Could you share her contact information with me?” Jack asked earnestly.
The hotel clerk hesitated for a long time, his expression conflicted. It wasn’t until Jack pulled out a large sum of money that the man’s face lit up with a smile, and he quickly handed over Freya’s contact information.
Jack immediately dialed her number, but the call went unanswered.
“She’s probably still on the plane,” he reassured himself.
Determined to show Freya how sincere he was in apologizing and acknowledging his mistakes, Jack posted an open letter of apology online.
In painstaking detail, he recounted every step that had led him astray, confessing how he had come to realize his feelings and understand the gravity of his actions. His tone was genuinely remorseful, and nearly every day, he posted a new letter, hoping she would see them.
Gradually, some netizens began to change their stance. What had started as disdain turned into sympathy, and some even began speaking up on Jack’s behalf.
But when Freya saw the apology letters, she couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
“If I hadn’t left, would he ever apologize like this? Of course not. He would’ve only become more brazen, going from Lily to more women. Affairs are never just a one-time thing.”
She answered her own question, the words cold and cutting.
Why should she forgive him?
Wasn’t this better?
She had finally achieved the dreams she hadn’t been able to fulfill before.
