“It’s not some valuable antique.”
Audrey opened the box.
Inside were fragments of an antique.
She picked up a shard and examined it, then spoke.

“These look like the most ordinary antique, and judging by the quality, the temperature during firing wasn’t well con- trolled.
This should be considered a defective piece.
Why do you insist on repairing this? Does it have some special meaning to you?”
Damian nodded.
“You’re right.”
He paused for a moment, then continued.
“My wife made this by hand before we got married. I accidentally broke it a couple of days ago, so I wanted to see if it could be repaired.”
Audrey never expected to hear this answer.
“Ah!”
The antique shard in her hand cut a line of blood across her palm, and she cried out in surprise.
Damian simply called the waiter and asked for a band-aid.
At that moment, Audrey’s heart felt as if it were being gnawed by thousands of ants.
At this point, she couldn’t even force a smile.
Of course, Damian noticed the change in Audrey’s expression.
He had come here today precisely to put an end to Audrey’s feelings for him.
He would not divorce Claudine, nor did he want to hold Audrey back.
Audrey stared at the shard in her hand, lowering her head in silence.

Some things, once spoken, could never be taken back.

Between him and Audrey, there was also Darlene, so naturally, they would always be in contact. Therefore, even if he knew some things in his heart, he could not say them aloud.
Damian looked at the woman across from him.
He picked up his coffee, took a sip, and set it down gently.
At this moment, Audrey could no longer hold back her tears.
Damian pretended not to see.
He looked at the shards in the box and said, “My wife is a very good woman. In the past, I let her down in many ways. I even caused her to lose a child, and now it’s very difficult for her to have children again.
“So, I will not leave her.”
Mentioning the child he had never even seen, Damian felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest.
This was the first time he had ever spoken about that child.
That was his own flesh and blood-how could he not feel pain!
His heart was choked with grief, so he took out a cigarette and lit it.
The rich tobacco smoke passed through his lungs, slightly suppressing the bitterness in his heart.
