Broken Oath: I Left, He Regretted Novel

After one year of marriage, Timothy Xavier loses interest in his wife and instead focuses on building a Buddhist altar within their villa, constantly holding prayer beads. Despite her attempts at seduction, he remains completely indifferent to her, showing no emotional response. One night, she discovers him outside the bathroom, emotionally responding to a photograph of another woman. This revelation exposes the truth: Timothy is not emotionally detached by nature, but rather emotionally unavailable to her specifically. Feeling betrayed, she manipulates him into signing a divorce agreement and vanishes from his life entirely. Later, she learns that Timothy desperately searched for her after her disappearance. They encounter each other again at his uncle's wedding, where she appears in a white wedding gown. Upon seeing her, Timothy's eyes fill with tears, and he struggles to address her with the expected familial title of 'aunt', suggesting his lingering emotional attachment and regret.
