Wooing The Ex-Wife

Chapter 3: Let it go ?



Chapter 3: Let it go ?

Jonathan stood there as he watched her walk away again. He knew that he had to make a choice

between letting her go like she had asked him to do in her letter or to go after the one woman he knew

he would love forever. He didn't know whether seeing her again had relieved him of some pain and

longing or had made his longing for her more intense. He remembered the scene he had seen barely

half an hour ago. It had felt so wrong to watch Liza slow dance with someone else, it should have been

him and it would have been him, had he not messed up the most beautiful thing that had ever

happened to him.

Jonathan didn't even know if Liza had found somebody new to replace him and as much as he wanted

to, he couldn't just waltz back in her life. But he also couldn't let her go. He had promised himself that if

they ever crossed paths again he wouldn't let them go separate ways. His thoughts were confusing him

to no end. On one hand there was a chance that Liza already loved someone else and going after her

would only cause her pain but on the other hand there was also a possibility that they could rebuild

their relationship and have the life they had both once dreamed of. NôvelDrama.Org content.

The only thing he was sure about was that he needed to have her in his life. He had been a machine

for last four years, barely showing any emotions, meeting her again had brought him back to life,

reviving all those buried feelings. He had been stupid when he had cheated on her and even more

stupid when he had accused her of the same but he wasn't the same man now. He had grown and

learned from his mistakes, if given a second chance he would never make them again. He checked his

watch it was 7:00 Pm and he had a flight to catch, he had a choice to make. He could go back to New

York and walk away from this fateful encounter or he could go back to the wedding and take a chance.

He didn't want to be cause of more tears for Liza but he also didn't want to let go of her. He was stuck

in a limbo. He had taken decisions which could make or break his company without hesitation and yet

here he was standing on the beach unable to decide whether to go after the love of his life or not. He

took a deep breath in and closed his eyes. He saw Liza smiling on their wedding day, walking towards

him in a beautiful white dress and he knew then and there that his decision had been already made. He

took out the cell phone and texted Dave. 'Cancel my flight and wait for the instructions. ' This time he

would stay and fight for her. This time he wouldn't let her go and with this thought he made his way

back to the wedding.

Liza sighed in relief as she reached the wedding. Meeting Jonathan had been emotionally tiring. It had

taken a lot of willpower to not turn back and slap him for showing his face again. Liza had said that she

had forgiven Jonathan in her last letter and she truly had but that didn't mean that she was ready to

face him again. Her mind was in a jumble and her emotions were all over the place. She had somehow

managed to keep their encounter short and professional. After had initial shock of meeting him had

worn off, she had handled it pretty well. The only thing she prayed for now was not to meet him again.

Alice hadn't told her that Jonathan was attending this wedding or she would have never come here but

then again she should have known that Leslie would have called all the people who were on top of the

business food chain.

She gulped down her fourth glass of red wine as she sat down on one of the chairs near the bar. She

had never been much of the drinker but tonight she would need as much liquid courage as she could

get. Her eyes scoured the area looking for Jonathan and to her surprise she felt a little bit of

disappointment seep into her, when she couldn't find him. She shook her head as if to clear her mind

but it was already a little clouded by all the alcohol she had consumed. She got up from the seat but

swayed a little as she saw the world before her tilt a little bit towards left and then a bit more towards

right. She wondered if there was an earthquake and then suddenly everything started to spin making

her loose her balance. She closed her eyes ready to embrace the pain but it never came. Instead of

smashing her face in the makeshift hardwood floor, she found her face buried in someone's warm

chest. She felt her body go lax in the arms of the stranger and the only words she heard were "Found

you." Before her vision went blank and she fell into a deep pit of drunken unconsciousness.
