Chapter 307 Signed And Sealed

Disgust aside, she felt relieved.

After all this dragging back and forth, it was finally going to end.

Her maid stepped forward, holding the separation papers they had prepared in advance. “Your Grace, shall we go?”

But Elspeth paused. After a moment’s thought, she leaned close and whispered a few instructions to her maid.

In the front hall, the water had long gone cold. Alistair sat there uneasily, glancing toward the door at every sound.

At last, he heard footsteps approaching.

He looked up and saw Elspeth enter, her face hard and unreadable.

With a look of pain, Alistair began, “Elspeth, I know this isn’t what you really want. We’ve been husband and wife for so many years. But Lydia is at death’s door. I have no other choice-”

She cut him off. “Who told you I didn’t want this?”

He froze. “I waited for you-”

“I was copying the papers,” she said flatly.

He blinked in surprise. From the corner of his eye, he saw the maid step forward carrying a rosewood tray. On it were two freshly copied separation papers, every line clear and neat.

“You…” was all he said before falling quiet again.

‘Let’s finish this,” Elspeth said coolly.

The maid held the tray out to him.

Alistair reached for the papers. But when he saw the terms, his face changed. His hand stopped over the page. “You want all the engagement gifts back? The shops, the land? Everything?”

Elspeth didn’t so much as blink. “Why not? It was mine.”

She fixed him with a stare and stressed each word. “Mine.”

His expression turned ugly.

“I’m even leaving you the house at Havenstead Manor, I can’t be bothered moving the furniture. That’s generous enough, don’t you think? I furnished the whole place after I married in. By rights, that’s mine too.”

He sighed. “Elspeth, we were married for decades. Why be this harsh? This unforgiving?”

She fired back, “If you cared about this marriage at all, you’d have sent Lydia away the day she arrived!”

“Because I know you can take care of yourself. Lydia can’t. She’s always been delicate, and Nina is still so young. Without me, they’d have no one. How could I leave them to fend for themselves? My uncle and aunt did so much for me…” Alistair pleaded.

“So you let me endure it instead?” Elspeth said with a scoff, cutting him off. “Enough. Sign it. The sooner you do, the sooner you can take your precious cousin and her daughter far away. And get them out of my guest house too. That belongs to me as well.”

Alistair took a shaky breath, looking pained. “Even if we divorce, we still have two sons. We’re connected by blood. Why do you have to be so absolute?”

She laughed right in his face. “This is who I am. Haven’t you figured that out yet? And don’t flatter yourself. I’m not demanding every coin you spent from my dowry over the years, am I? That’s me being generous. So don’t stand there calling me heartless.”

That hit him where it hurt. Alistair swallowed his temper. “If you resent the money spent on my household that much, I’ll repay it. Little by little if I have to.”

She caught that at once. “You mean that?”
