Richest Mogul

Wendy had always known that Aiken would find her one day, but she didn't expect

it to be so soon.

Still, she wasn't surprised.

While she had held onto the faint hope that Aiken wouldn't discover her whereabouts, she was prepared for the possibility.

"What do you want?" she asked calmly.

Aiken frowned. "You just left like that. Did you ever think about talking to me?"

They had been together for so long, known each other for so many years, and she had always been gentle with him. This cold indifference was a side of her he had never seen before. Her voice was devoid of any emotion.

"There's nothing left for us to talk about. I've written everything in that letter. Let's part ways amicably," Wendy said.noveldrama

Over the years, she had come to understand Aiken very well. She knew the kind of man he was when it came to relationships.

When he sought out Zera, it became clear that in his heart, she was dispensable —someone who no longer needed a place in his life. He had grown tired of her.

The time apart had given her clarity about her relationship with Aiken.

"Is this about Zera?" Aiken's frown deepened.

Even he wasn't entirely sure how he felt about his relationship with Wendy. Was it love? If so, it wasn't a deep love. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought out Zera.

He had never felt for Wendy the way he had once felt for Skylar. But with Skylar, he knew there was no possibility of a future.

With Wendy, everything had been just right.

It wasn't a grand, passionate love, nor was it a yearning for something unattainable. It was steady, almost too plain.

Hearing Zera's name didn't stir any reaction in Wendy. To her, Zera was simply a third party. The breakdown of her relationship with Aiken wasn't solely due to the involvement of another woman.

"No, it's not about her. I've known for a long time that you were involved with her -I've seen your intimate photos.

"Since you called, I'll be direct. I ended things with you because there's ng love

Nove left between us. You

might think I could tolerate you having a new lover behind my Ba

but can't," Wendy said in a firm

tone.

Perhaps her emotions got the better of her, as she felt a dull pain in her stomach.

She didn't expect to lose her composure so easily in front of Aiken. She still reacted strongly, still cared deeply.

It was clear that when one poured their whole heart into a relationship, it wouldn't be something one could simply let go of easily.

But she believed that in the future, she would be able to face Aiken with greater calm, perhaps even indifference.

Then, Aiken said, "Zera was just an accident. I don't love her."

"Not loving her didn't stop you from sleeping with her, did it? Today it's Zera, tomorrow it could be someone else. You will always have someone new around you.

"I don't want to spend my future constantly doubting you, tracking your whereabouts, or dealing with your endless affairs.

"Aiken, things are fine as they are now. Let's stay out of each other's lives. I'll still wish you the best," Wendy said softly.

Her tone carried no resentment, no accusations. It held a sense of acceptance and even gentle persuasion.

Aiken suddenly gripped his phone tightly. "I thought you wouldn't care."

Over the past two years, their relationship had grown increasingly cold. The passion was gone, leaving only a sense of duty. She didn't seem to miss his company, and she never questioned the rumors about him. śwnovel

So, he had assumed that as long as he eventually came back to her, she would always be there waiting. It became a silent understanding between them.

After all, she held a unique place in his heart, and even Simona regarded her as family.

Hearing Aiken's self-assured statement that he thought she wouldn't care, Wendy, despite her calm demeanor, couldn't help but feel anger rising within her.

"No, I do care. I've never been that magnanimous. Now that I'm older, I want a marriage with mutual loyalty—both emotionally and

physically. From every perspective, you're just a passerby in my life."
