Chapter 36
Zac himself was startled by his own question. He had no idea why he asked such a thing.
He had agreed to himself to stay out of Olivia and John’s personal affairs.
“Actually, I wanted to ask you to help me with the divorce agreement.
”
“Do you still want that?”
Surprisingly, Zac was nervous. He found himself hoping Olivia would divorce John.
Olivia scoffed. “Before, I thought that if we were going to keep on torturing each other like this, we might as well free each other. However, you’ve seen the problem, Mr. Quinton. Johnny doesn’t want to set me free but has no intention of ever living peacefully with me again.
