Seeing Me Live A Good Life, My Ex-Wife Found Her ConscienceChapter 1

Five years after our divorce, I ran into Kelly Jackson at a luxury boutique. She came when the salesgirl was wrapping up the silk scarf I had picked out for my wife.

The salesgirl's tone turned warm. "Miss Jackson, you're here. The evening gown your husband has chosen for you is ready."

Kelly nodded slightly, her eyes resting on the silk scarf in my hand, then she said, "Put it on my tab as well.”

I declined politely and placed the cash on the counter.

She sighed. "Mac, after all these years… you’re still angry with me.

I smiled without saying anything.

Who has the time to stay angry that long? I had let it go a long time ago.

I took the bag, tossed it into my canvas tote filled with groceries and turned to leave.

The early autumn wind howled, stinging my eyes shut as I walked down memory lane to the bus stop.

When I lifted my gaze again, Kelly’s car was parked right in front of me.

Seeing my reddened eyes, her brows furrowed.

“Get in. I’ll give you a ride.”

“No need, thanks. I'll take the bus.”
