Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Farewell

Some women walked out of the courthouse with blank faces and empty eyes.

All of them carried sadness and regret.

No one left that place smiling.

That was the price of choosing the wrong person.

Aella glanced at her phone.

In 20 minutes, the courthouse staff would be off duty.

Feeling restless, she stepped outside and stood by the door, watching cars come and go.

Her thoughts drifted back to the day she married Tyrone.

She had waited outside her house, just as she was now, nervously watching for his car.

When Tyrone stepped out holding a bouquet of bright red roses, she’d run straight into his

arms.

It was the first time he had ever given her flowers.

He held her hand as they went inside to get their marriage license. When they walked out of City Hall, their fingers were still interlocked.

In the car, she had proudly posted a photo of their marriage license on her story.

He’d kissed her deeply for the first time, gently ruffling her hair and teasing that she smiled like a fool.

Aella blinked away the tears threatening to fall.

Just then, a divorced couple stormed out of the courthouse behind her, yelling at each other.

When she turned back, she finally saw Tyrone’s car pulling up.

She hurried forward and opened the door for him herself.

Tyrone stepped out, his gaze fixed on her reddened eyes.

He reached out and gently wiped away the moisture at the corner of her eyes with his rough

fingertips.

Aella pushed his hand away. “Let’s hurry. We need to get this done before the staff goes home

When Tyrone didn’t move, she grabbed his arm to pull him along.

He caught her wrist and said softly, “Aclla, do you remember what you promised me?”

Impatient, she spoke quickly. “Tyrone, as long as we finalize the divorce today, I promise I’ll do everything I can to treat Zera.”

He held her hand firmly. “I agreed to the divorce partly because I want you to hypnotize Zera- and because I want the truth.”

He paused, looking straight into her

eyes.

“But the real reason I agreed … is you. Because you wanted the divorce. And because I want to start over with you.”

Aella looked away. She didn’t argue.

She just said quietly, “They’re about to close soon. Let’s go.”

Tyrone stared at her for a long moment, a strange unease rising inside him.

Unable to hold back, he pulled her into his arms right there in public.

Aella patted his shoulder gently. “Tyrone, it’s just a divorce. It’s not like we’ll never see each other again. Don’t be like this.”

He slowly released her. Their eyes met one more time before he took her hand and led her inside.

It was the last Monday of May, 11:45 AM.

Tyrone and Aella walked out of the courthouse together.

Aella hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly.

She lifted the divorce decree in her hand, letting the sunlight fall on it as she studied it closely

No thirty–day waiting period, no more delays.

It was finally over.

Her lips curved into a small smile. All the tension and weight she’d carried for so long melted

away.

She felt lighter than she had in years.

That smile hit Tyrone like a knife. He clenched the decree in his hand so hard it crumpled

“You’re this happy to be divorced from me?” he asked bitterly.

Aella suddenly remembered he was still beside her. She quickly tucked the decree into her
