Loving a Liur lansare My 5 Year Wain Marriage Ex Plan
Chapter 8
“Marcus, when we get married, can you get me a champagne–colored dress?” ]]
“My mom used to say brides should wear champagne on their wedding day.“]
“Said it brings good luck.” 0
He’d said yes.
And on their wedding day, she’d worn it, glowing.
But their marriage….
Had never seen any of that luck. []
Marcus could still remember that moment- – D
Her braids, the blush on her cheeks, the way she shyly slipped her hand into his in front of everyone. []
She’d said,
“Marcus, from now on, we’re family.”
That day still felt like yesterday. []

But the house no longer held her.
He wandered into the kitchen.
Everything was spotless, just like always.
Then–he accidentally kicked something. []
A glass jar on the floor.
He frowned and bent down to pick it up.
“This is…”
It was her jar.
The one she’d used for counting. I
Emma had her first episode in the middle of the night.
I didn’t want him to go with her.
I begged him to stay.
But he was in a rush and grabbed the first jar he could find.
“Olivia, I promise, I’ll only go to Emma ninety–nine times.
0
Each time I go, you put one bean in this jar.
When it’s full, I’ll come home with you, no matter what.”
That jar became the most precious thing I had. []
Now, it was empty. I
Marcus stared at it, frozen. []
Even his heart felt hollow.
He looked up-
On the table in the hallway, a piece of paper. []
His eyes lit up.
He ran over and picked it up.

It was her handwriting. []
Marcus.]
I’m gone. []
I filed the divorce paperwork ten days ago. []
It should be finalized in a few more days.
I’m sorry I waited this long to tell you.
At first, I thought I’d say goodbye in person. []
But I overestimated myself. []
I’m writing this letter to ask you one last favor, for the sake of what we once had. []
That soup bowl I broke last night–it belonged to Mia. [
I wrapped the pieces up and left them in the cupboard. []
There’s
some cash in there too.
Use it to buy her a replacement with the same pattern. [
Whatever’s left, buy two chickens.
Tell Mia thank you for the soup she made that day.
I didn’t get to drink it, but I’ll never forget her kindness.
Also, pick the vegetables in the backyard and bring them to Grandma Sophia. []
While you were gone, she was worried I’d fall or something while pregnant. []
She even sent her grandson Jacob over a few times to check on me. 0
I remember all of it.
So go ahead and return that kindness for me. 0
Lastly, Marcus-
I resent you.
0
For choosing Emma over me again and again. [
For making me lose our baby. []
And most of all, for marrying me in the first place.
Our lives crossed paths once, but in the end, we had to go our separate ways.
e.0
So please, don’t come looking for me,
I never want to see you again.
Marcus sat for a long, long time after finishing the letter. []
He’d thought she’d always wait for him. []
He thought she’d never leave. []
But in this world-[]
Who really stays for anyone, forever?]
