Chapter 73
If they would stay as friends merely because they had failed to stay married, then what would they be if they had failed to stay as lovers?
Sage’s question stumped Yoel.
Yoel thought about it hard. Even though he was quite experienced in dating, he had yet to experience marriage, hence he did not know much about it. Yoel tossed the question to Jace instead. “What do you think?”
Looking at Sage, Jace noticed the pain and hurt that lay hidden behind her smiling mask.
He remembered the day when he had asked for a divorce, Sage had been heartbroken. He also remembered her plea, “Can we not get a divorce?”
At that point, Jace had not felt any remorse about bringing up the divorce. He had simply wanted to end a loveless marriage so that he could provide a loving home for the one he loved, and he would be setting Sage free at the same time.
However, he had felt a tug on his heartstrings, when he had heard her question.
It was as if someone was clenching his heart tightly.
“Why did you choose to marry me in the first place?” Jace finally asked the question he had been meaning to ask all this time.
Furrowing her brows, Sage wondered why Jace was still obsessing over that question.
“I told you, it doesn’t matter. We’re already divorced, and what matters is that I have nothing to do with you anymore,” replied Sage.
Sage then dragged Yoel by his collar. “Let’s go!”
“Hey hey, I’m going to trip, slow down…” complained Yoel as he staggered and stumbled alongside Sage.
Just when she stepped outside her office, someone grabbed her wrist.
Jace had chased after her. “You’re from the Norah family, so it does not make sense that you married me for money or fame. Why did you show up when I was paralyzed from the accident? Why did you decide to marry me? What is it that you are after?”
