Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 585 A Decade Ago

Charlize's memory wasn't that good, so there were many things from her childhood that she couldn't remember. It's probably because I lead too happy of a life that I never reminisce about the past. I genuinely can't recall anything related to Spencer. A decade ago, I was only thirteen and living at home. I don't remember anything special happening that year. My life was the same as always. Just spending time in school and at home.

Having failed to recall anything special about that year, she turned to glance at her brother. “Charles.”

Upon hearing her voice, Charles opened his eyes and turned to her. “What's the matter? Have you thought things through? Have you made up your mind to refrain from getting into a relationship this early?”

Charlize rolled her eyes. “No. I want to ask if you've met Spencer ten years ago.”

Charles' expression clouded over when he heard his sister's words. “No.”

“I overheard your conversation earlier! He said he met me a decade ago, and you didn't ask him about it. Thus, it's obvious that you met him too during that time! Did he used to live in the same neighborhood as ours but move away later? That doesn't seem right, though. His family isn't that well-off...” Charlize knew her brother too well and was aware that she would never get an answer from him no matter how hard she tried.

Therefore, she stopped asking questions and muttered endlessly instead.

As expected, Charles relented not long after. “Are you that eager to know?”

probably because he could tell I was upset through the phone. Jadeborough was greeted with a snowstorm that night. A classmate of mine confessed his love for me during the gathering. The others encouraged me to accept him as my boyfriend, but I rejected him, so my female classmates accused me of being pretentious. That was probably the first time I argued with someone. I almost couldn't hold back my tears when I saw Charles, but since I'm already thirteen, I told myself I must not cry easily. As such, I resisted the urge to cry. I felt so horrible and upset on the way home that I didn't even listen to what Charles said. I remember staring out the window in a daze. There was nothing but snow outside. Frankly, I don't know what I was staring at or thinking. I didn't even notice it when Charles left the car to buy me a snack. Suddenly, I saw a boy on the side of the road. He was only wearing two thin shirts despite the heavy snow. The tattered and oversized school uniform on him made him appear scrawny. He caught my attention because he was the only person on the empty street that night. I watched him trudge forward in the snow at a snail's pace. He soon
