Chapter 136
“Because I wanted to leave you! Even if it meant going to hell, even if it meant no hope of return, as long as you were willing to sign the divorce agreement, I wouldn’t have hesitated for a second.”
“As long as I still have breath in me, I can fight for justice for myself. Isn’t that why you came to see me today–to give me justice?”
The tea was ready and had been poured into the serving cup.
Now, only the final step remained before they could taste the tea.
Josephine paused, then lifted her eyes slightly to look at Wilfred.
“Mr. Hayden, will you give it to me, or not?”
Wilfred stared blankly at Josephine.
So she knew everything.
So back then, it wasn’t just a moment of anger–she was truly determined to leave him.
But the only reason he did what he did was to make her accept Lena and stay by his side. From beginning to end, he never intended to divorce Josephine.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be wearing his wedding ring to this day
Wilfred’s right thumb and forefinger rested on the ring on his left ring finger, never leaving it.
Meeting Josephine’s eyes, cold and hard as ice, he understood that everything today was his own doing.
He had been too blindly confident, forgetting that Josephine was like a spring–the more you compress her, the stronger her rebound.

For the first time, Wilfred had someone point those words right at his forehead
The taste was even more bitter than gall, impossible to swallow
Wilfred realized that when he made Josephine sign the divorce agreement, this must have been how she felt.
He nodded heavily and let out a long sigh: “Fine, you can have it all…”
The tea was ready. Josephine handed Wilfred a cup.
Wilfred looked at Josephine, silent for a long time.
Josephine said nothing more either.
They were both proud people. Neither had expected the end of their marriage to look so ugly…
No one knew how much time passed as the warmth of the tea gradually faded
All that remained was the reflection in the cup, and the lingering chill in their hearts.
Wilfred’s voice was dry: “The agreement and documents… they’re all in the car. At this hour, the courthouse is still open.”
Josephine said, “Mine are in my bag too,”
The two of them walked out one after the other, their silhouettes cast on the wall, never overlapping again.
They left the courthouse.
Wilfred said, “The paperwork for the Good Samaritan Shelter and the packaging factory won’t be processed that quickly…”
“It’s fine. Let’s sign the contract first and let the workers return to the packaging factory… Oh,

Josephine finished in one breath, turning away with elegance and decisiveness.
Wilfred watched her departing figure and suddenly realized that from this moment on, woman would never be his again.

His heart felt as empty as standing in ruins, desolate in every direction.
The feeling made him panic, made him afraid. He rushed forward and blocked Josephine’s path.

Josephine frowned in displeasure.
