Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 882

Halle realized. “You called Edgar?”

Tyler checked his watch. “Mm. He should be here any minute.”

Halle didn’t care about Edgar anymore. If he was really coming, she had no objection. Let him come.

Besides, James knew her schedule for today and had said he would pick her up.

If Edgar delayed her for a while, so be it. James could wait.

Ten minutes later.

Edgar arrived by car.

Since leaving the hospital yesterday, he had been restless. He couldn’t figure out why Halle had invited his parents to dinner.

Halle hadn’t invited him. Instead, his father had called him.

Edgar had always had issues with his father. He hated the way Tyler looked at him, and after reaching adulthood, he rarely spent time with him. But when his father asked something of him, Edgar didn’t dare refuse.

Especially when it involved Halle.

After arriving at the parking lot, Edgar sat in his car for 10 minutes before finally bracing himself and heading to the private room.

The moment he opened the door, he saw his mother’s red-rimmed eyes.

Halle looked relatively calm.

Tyler exuded a low, heavy pressure. It wasn’t his usual dissatisfaction when lecturing Edgar about work. Something was very wrong.

Edgar sat down beside Halle as usual and asked, “What were you talking about?”

Halle looked at Hayley.

Edgar followed her gaze. Earlier, he’d only noticed that Hayley’s eyes were red. Now, it was obvious that she had been crying.

Edgar frowned. “Mom, were you crying? What happened?”

Hayley was about to tell him to apologize immediately, but Tyler cut her off. "Think about it yourself."

Tyler only had one son. Again and again, he gave Edgar chances, hoping the boy would show some backbone and admit what he had done on his own.

Even now, he was giving Edgar another chance.

Edgar’s first thought was of Dakota. He looked confused. “Grandma was saved, and her condition is stable. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Hayley had hoped Edgar would be smarter, especially in a situation like this. Now, she couldn’t tell whether he was pretending to be clueless or truly had no heart.

Last night, after learning that Halle wanted to break off the engagement, Hayley kept pressing her husband until he finally told her that Edgar had not only gotten involved with another woman, but even had a child with her. In that moment, she could hardly believe it.

Was it about him and Nina?

Tyler couldn’t stand it anymore. He reminded Edgar, “I called you here so you could explain everything. Start from the beginning and tell us every detail.”

Edgar’s face was white.

Halle looked at his conflicted expression and realized that somehow, she could still soften toward him.

The destructive power of first love really was something. Since she and Edgar would never end up together anyway, why keep making this harder for him?

Halle had received warmth from him once, so there was no hatred in her heart. Everyone had made their own choices to arrive here. She carried no resentment, and she didn’t blame anyone.

So, Halle didn’t force Edgar to keep embarrassing himself. “I know what you’re thinking. I didn’t tell them. I came today to say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Bowman, not because of your private business. I just want to move on.”

She paused, meeting Edgar’s eyes. “Edgar, I’ll keep everything from the past in my heart. But from now on, we'll go our separate ways."

Edgar’s mind went blank. He stared at Halle’s face as a sudden, violent palpitation swept through him, his heart racing out of control.

He was speaking, but he could barely hear his own voice. “What do you mean, separate ways?”

Halle said, “I’ve decided to break off the engagement.”

Edgar went silent, his brows lowered.

Halle turned to Tyler and Hayley. “Mr. and Mrs. Bowman, I should get going.”
