Falling for the Best Man, A Second Chance at Love - Chapter 2

Gu Huaichen drove me towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The music in the car was light and cheerful.

He hummed softly along with it.

Now that he was finally free, he must feel indescribably relieved.

Before we left, I received a message from him.

[I’m waiting for you downstairs.]

After half a year, this was the first message he had sent me on his own initiative.

It was exactly the same as before, not a single word changed.

Yet everything felt different from before.

The speed limit on this road was 80, but the car was going at 100.

We arrived more than ten minutes earlier than expected.

When we got out of the car, the sunlight outside was brilliant.

Just like five years ago, when fireworks filled the sky as he married me and brought me home.

We had no children.

The division of property was fair and reasonable.

I took the shares I deserved from the company, along with a few properties.

The procedures went smoothly.

We took the divorce certificate and walked out the main entrance.

I watched him walk to the car, casually tossing the still-warm divorce certificate inside.

He leaned loosely against the car door, lowered his head, and lit a cigarette.

White smoke drifted out in a faint, ethereal mist.

At that moment, a young couple passed between Gu Huaichen and me, holding their bright red marriage certificate.

They walked past us, smiling. After a few steps, the man lowered his head and kissed the woman on the cheek, grinning as he said:

“Wife, please take care of me from now on!”

In that instant, it felt as if a strong wind had blown straight through my body.

Memories became wrinkled and unrecognizable.
