He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 450

"Yes," she answered without a microsecond of hesitation.

The air between them was pulled tight as a wire.

Yet, it was the most peaceful moment they had shared in months.

"Fine. I'll let you go," he finally rasped, forcing the words out one by one. "From this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other."

"Okay," she nodded.

Her gaze remained remarkably calm. "Make sure you process The Divorce Agreement. I don't want any legal messes dragging this out later."

This was her final warning to him.

Once the papers were filed and the divorce certificates were issued, their marriage would be legally dead.

If reincarnation existed, she prayed she would never cross paths with him in her next life.

Let alone the rest of this one.

Sebastian stared down at her with a suffocating intensity.

His eyes were entirely bloodshot, fighting back a torrential flood of dark emotions.

But he swallowed it all and gave her a firm answer. "I'll have Carter Miles contact you."

She gave a small hum of acknowledgment and turned her face away.

He didn't linger in the room for another second, turning on his heel and walking out without looking back.

The hospital room plunged back into total silence.

She didn't fall asleep.

She listened to the heavy footsteps echoing down the hallway and realized Sebastian's Bodyguards had been pulled.

She was finally free.

Less than half an hour later, Carter Miles walked into the room.

"Mrs. Hayes. Apologies for the intrusion," he said, maintaining his usual polite professionalism.

She murmured a greeting but didn't offer any conversation.

He handed her a sleek box. "This is your new phone. Your old one was destroyed, so we got you a replacement. A new SIM card is already installed."

It meant her isolation was over. She could finally contact the outside world.

She was no longer a prisoner locked inside a gilded cage.

"Thank you," she said softly with perfect manners.

If Sebastian wanted to throw his wealth at her to ease his own conscience, that was his problem.

What she chose to do with it was hers.

Her attitude was chillingly indifferent.

It was an apathy so profound that Carter realized there was absolutely nothing left to discuss.

He quickly wrapped up his briefing, bowed his head, and left the room.

When he stepped out into the hallway, Sebastian was leaning against the wall just a few feet away. He hadn't actually left.

Carter hurried over to his boss.

"Mr. Hayes, she accepted the properties and the check without a fight," he reported quietly.

Sebastian gave a hollow grunt of acknowledgment.

He had fully expected her to throw the money back in Carter's face. If she had, it would have given him an excuse to march back in and argue with her.

But obviously, she didn't even care enough to reject him anymore.

Which meant he had absolutely zero excuses left to ever walk back into her life.
