Esther gazed at Bradley with steady eyes, her expression calm and composed. She said, "Yes, I want a divorce."
"No regrets?"
"Absolutely not," Esther replied.
A trace of anger flickered in Bradley's cold eyes. He handed his ID to the staff and said, "Let's get this done together."
Upon giving his ID, he took a seat next to Esther, and an invisible weight pressed down on her. Esther instinctively moved away from him as though another moment by his side might freeze her.
The staff processed two divorce certificates before Esther and Bradley. The new divorce certificates were stamped, while the old marriage certificates received a simple "invalid" seal.
Esther received her divorce certificate and stared at it in disbelief for a while. Finally, she was divorced! She had established a clear boundary between herself and Bradley. From now on, they would go their separate ways.
Esther left with Tanya, paying no heed to Bradley, who watched her departing figure with a fierce gaze. A shadow of melancholy crept in, and he exuded a threatening aura.
Esther carefully placed the divorce and voided marriage certificates into her bag. When she looked up, she saw Mandy standing by the car.
Mandy had evidently noticed Esther and hurried over, saying softly, "Congratulations, Esther."
In the past, seeing Mandy and Bradley together had pained Esther, making her feel bitter and jealous. However, after experiencing life and death, she felt nothing but serenity when she saw them back together.
