On the first day of a new year, after Darling successfully defended her championship title in the year's first race.
Excited to finally reveal myself as the team's elusive mystery coach, I approached the lounge only to overhear her and Gunner's blush-inducing pants from outside the door.
"Melody, you little temptress, you're going to drain me dry!"
"It's not my fault you're out of shape."
"Oh, by the way, my husband's coming to celebrate with me soon. You can't leave any marks on me."
Just as those words fell, I received a text from Melody.
Every word expressed her love for me.
Each letter pierced my heart like a dagger.
I didn't reply. Instead, I opened a chat with a profile totally black.
[I accept your previous invitation, but I can't afford a plane ticket right now.]
The reply came swiftly: [Don't worry about that. I'll send someone to pick you up.]

After Racer Darling's Betrayal, I Part

After that day, I never saw Melody again.


Free from these worrying thoughts, I threw myself wholeheartedly into the daily data analysis and training for the racing team.


In just one month, I won the championship in all car races.


At the same time, my reputation as a trainer resounded throughout the entire racing world.


Many famous teams extended olive branches to me, but I declined them all.


One night a month later, I suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.


After answering, the other end remained silent for a long time.


Just as my patience was about to run out, a faint voice finally came through: "Jaxon, is it really impossible between us?"


Muffled sobs could be heard through the phone. After a long while, she spoke again: "Alright, then let's get divorced."


"One week from now, at the courthouse."


Hearing that Melody finally agreed to divorce, I immediately bought a ticket back to the States.
