Irvin was very furious, wearing a grim expression. He couldn’t understand how I, who had always been obedient, considerate, and centered around him, had suddenly become like this.

My parents looked like they were about to rush over and scold me, but I shot them a warning glance. It seemed to say, “You don’t want me to divorce Irvin, do you?”

They got the message instantly. Their steps faltered, and instead of berating me, they turned to Irvin with anxious expressions.

“Irvin, just agree to the divorce! Lianne doesn’t have time to wait!”

“Yeah, Irvin, please! If you keep stalling, Lianne… she might not make it…”

Irvin didn’t say a word. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged in a terrifying way.

His silence was testing my patience. I couldn’t help but push him.

“Come on, Mr. Sawyer! Hurry up! Lianne’s still in the emergency room, barely holding on. She’s waiting for you to save her. Do you know that we need to save her life? Don’t you forget that she saved you before. She’s your savior! Even setting that aside, she’s someone you grew up with, closer to you than your biological sister!”

Irvin’s expression shifted as my words hit him hard. He couldn’t quite put into words how he felt.

When he used moral coercion on me before, it had always been easy for him. If I didn’t do exactly what he demanded, I was heartless, cruel, practically trying to kill Julianne.

Now, the tables had turned…

Yeah.

It was like a boomerang coming back and hitting him square in the chest. It hurt a lot.

It hurt so much that tears welled up in his eyes.

With reddened eyes, he glared at me and asked, “Emi, do you really want a divorce that badly?”

I met his gaze without wavering and replied, “Yes. Absolutely!”

Irvin stared at me intensely. Even with his usual arrogance, he couldn’t fool himself. He knew I wasn’t messing around. I genuinely wanted this divorce.

All his recent efforts to humble himself had been completely useless.

“Emi, why does it have to be like this? The pool incident… I swear, it wasn’t intentional.”

He couldn’t understand how things had come to this.

He thought I could swim, and it was also our own pool. He never imagined anything could go wrong that day,

He was convinced I wanted a divorce because of the near–drowning incident, I didn’t even bother correcting him.

“Whether you did it on purpose or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that I only have one life, and it’s precious. I value it, and I won’t spend the rest of my life with you anymore.”

Looking at me, Irvin was taken aback. It was still the same face he had known for years, but suddenly I seemed like a stranger to him.

He thought that I wouldn’t do this to him because I loved him so much. It was as if something had stabbed Irvin

right in the chest. He felt so hurt that he couldn’t even stand up straight.

Clutching his stomach, he bent over, looking at me with strained eyes. “Emi, my stomach hurts…”

I glanced at him coldly and said, “Stop pretending. You’re so annoying!”

His face instantly turned pale, as if he’d just remembered something.
