Richard took the phone and was shocked to discover divorce papers there. His heart raced joyfully, and he couldn't believe it when he asked, "Have you really decided?"
"Sign it!" Selene said.
Richard quickly glanced through the divorce papers. He felt like he was giving in a bit, but he considered it compensation for using Selene all these years.
Worried that Selene might regret her decision, he eagerly signed it. "Selene, if you ever need anything in the future, you can still come to me!"
Selene responded with a cold snort and approached Oliver, whispering, "Oliver, let's go!"
She had divorce papers ready on her phone at all times. To be precise, she had considered divorce countless times since falling out with Richard.
So why hadn't she divorced him?
It was because she couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept that her choice had failed. She couldn't accept being a failure herself. Most of all, she couldn't accept seeing everything she had worked so hard for handed over to another woman.
She clung to her marriage, even if it was just to quietly gather evidence, updating the divorce papers again and again.
At that moment, all her determination vanished.
Maybe she should have treated it as if she had never given birth to this child from the start.
"Selene." Oliver changed the way he addressed her to match her wishes.
