I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 72

"You heard what your grandfather said. No matter what, you have to keep Lyra. As for Aria, I'll find a chance to officially sever our ties with her. Don't get involved with her anymore. Can't you see who actually cares about you?"

It was painfully obvious to any outsider, yet Mrs. Sterling Sr. couldn't fathom how Maxwell had blinded himself to the truth for so long.

Maxwell remained completely silent.

Tomorrow was the day he and Lyra had agreed to finalize the divorce.

He didn't want to go back on his word.

But he also didn't want the divorce.

He was trapped in an impossible dilemma, and figuring a way out was entirely on him.

The next morning.

Lyra woke up early and immediately checked the trending topics.

All the news regarding Aria and Maxwell had completely vanished from the search rankings.

It seemed Maxwell had spent a fortune to wipe the slate clean.

Thinking of this, she grabbed her phone and dialed his number.

It rang for a long time before someone finally answered.

Lyra didn't waste any time on pleasantries.

"Today is the day we agreed to go to the clerk's office and file for divorce. Ten o'clock this morning. I expect you to be there on time. Don't waste my day."

There was a heavy silence on the other end before Maxwell finally spoke, his voice muffled. "I know."

"Good."

Lyra was just about to hang up when Maxwell suddenly asked a question.

"Are you really sure about this?"

What was that supposed to mean?
