Chapter 286 I Don’t Want to Wait Anymore

Ethan’s venomous gaze swept over her before landing on the silent yet overwhelmingly imposing Mason beside her.

Suddenly, he softened his tone, trying to play his final emotional card.

“Amelia, do we really have to take things this far between us? Don’t forget, you once loved me deeply, enough to do anything for me. Now, do you really have the heart to watch Mason use an entire project to force us into divorce, to destroy everything we had?”

“Hmph.” Amelia let out a cold laugh, snuffing out his last illusion. “You know that was the past.”

She lifted her eyes. They were calm, like a pool of dead water, no longer reflecting even a trace of him.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what Mason said. The reason you refuse to accept it is simple–you want the massive profits from the Litginia Project, but you also don’t want to lose the polished reputation this marriage gives you. Ethan, where in this world do you get to have everything go your way?”

She dissected his greed and selfishness with icy clarity.

It was so clear that Ethan could finally see that Amelia’s heart truly no longer belonged to him.

She stood firmly on Mason’s side, her stance unmistakable.

And he had become the ridiculous outsider, shut out of their world.

Humiliation and fury instantly devoured Ethan’s remaining reason.

“Fine! Amelia, just you wait!

“I’m telling you now that I will never divorce you! Don’t even think about it!”

With that, he couldn’t stay another second. He spun around violently and stormed out of the studio, carrying nothing but resentment and disgrace.

Bang!

The door slammed shut.

The living room fell into silence.

The air still carried the acrid remnants of their argument, but the tension slowly loosened as Ethan’s presence vanished.

Chapter 286! Don’t Want to Wait Anymore

Amelia let out a long breath.

She turned to look at Mason, who had been standing quietly behind her the entire time.

Under the lights, his expression was unreadable, his dark eyes fixed on her without blinking.

“Mason…” she spoke first. “Actually … you didn’t have to do this.”

She bit her lip, worry written all over her face.

“In just three more days, the divorce agreement I signed earlier will automatically take effect. Even if he doesn’t want to divorce, legally, he won’t be able to stop it. Why did you have to use the Litginia Project to threaten him? If you really pull out, the Everett Group will suffer major losses too.”

She didn’t want him to harm his own interests because of her.

Mason listened in silence, his expression unchanged. Only after she finished did he slowly say four words…

“Because I can’t wait.”

His voice was light, yet it crashed into Amelia’s heart like a boulder, sending massive waves rippling through it.

She froze completely.

Can’t wait?

Can’t wait for what?

Before she could piece it together, the man stepped closer.

The distance between them vanished in an instant. Mason lifted his hand, his fingers gently brushing her cheek.

His fingertips were slightly cool, and when they touched her heated skin, a faint shiver ran through her.

“Amelia,” he said, staring straight into her eyes. The always cool, restrained gaze now burned with a fire that had clearly been suppressed for far too long.

“I don’t want to wait anymore.

“One day sooner is fine. Now is fine, too. Strip away the identity of ‘Ethan’s wife.” His thumb lightly traced the curve of her cheek as he enunciated every word. “Come to my side.”
