My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Family Court

Lilian’s suffering had been caused by him—her severe depression, her repeated suicide attempts. He had once promised her he would always be there, that he would never leave. He couldn’t break that promise.

But Alicia... even after the separation, she would still have Nana and the rest of the family—people who genuinely cared about her. Perhaps, after the divorce, she might even find happiness.

Lilian, on the other hand, had no one left but him. If he walked away, she would fall apart.

Between the two, he could only choose to hurt Alicia.

Alexander closed his eyes briefly, then turned to look at Alicia in the car. Taking out his phone, he finally dialed Maria’s number.

"Maria, I forgot the folder. It’s on the table. Can you bring it to the Family Court? We’re waiting at the entrance—please hurry."

Maria replied almost immediately, "Okay, sir."

After ending the call, Alexander returned to the car.

"Maria got caught in traffic and had to take a detour. She should be here soon," he said.

"Okay."

"Alicia," he called suddenly.

"Mm?" She turned toward him.

"After we divorce... will you marry him?"

She paused for a moment before realizing he meant Aiden.

"Maybe," she answered softly.

"Maybe..." he repeated, his voice low but sincere. "Then I wish you happiness—being with the one you love, growing old together, living a peaceful life."

His words made Alicia’s throat tighten. She quickly turned away, managing only a quiet, "Mm."

She could never wish him happiness with Lilian.

He truly didn’t love her—that was why he could say such things so easily. What he didn’t know was that once the divorce was finalized, he would get exactly what he wanted—marrying the woman he loved and living the life he had always dreamed of.

As for her... she would walk away from everything, leaving behind the happiness she once hoped for.

"Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood," Jim’s voice came as he knocked lightly on the car window. "Maria is here."

"Got it." Alexander and Alicia stepped out of the car.

Maria quickly walked up to them and handed Alexander a folder. "Mr. Blackwood, I brought it."

"Thank you," he replied softly.

He then turned to Alicia, stepped closer, and took her hand. "Let’s go. Watch your step."

"Mm." She simply nodded, saying nothing more.

His hand was still warm and steady, holding hers tightly. Alicia couldn’t help but think back to those winter days when they would leave work together—he would always take her hand first, then slip it into his pocket to keep it warm.

A sudden wave of emotion surged through her. Her lips trembled, and her heart churned with turmoil.

Two years ago, they had walked side by side into the Family Court to get married. Now, two years later, they were entering the same place hand in hand—but this time, for a divorce.

This would be the last time they could openly hold each other’s hands. After today, they would no longer be husband and wife. From then on, they would go their separate ways. Alexander would marry the woman he loved and grow old with her, while Alicia would leave everything behind and embrace her freedom.

Jim and Maria exchanged a glance, both letting out a quiet sigh.

Alexander and Alicia walked into the Family Court lobby.

A staff member greeted them. Seeing the elegant couple, the receptionist smiled and gestured toward the marriage counter. "Please go over there to fill out the marriage forms."

"We’re here for a divorce," Alexander said flatly.

The receptionist froze for a moment, then pointed to another window. "For a divorce, please go over there."

Still holding Alicia’s hand, Alexander led her in that direction.

The receptionist remained puzzled. It was her first time seeing a couple so calm and composed about a divorce—it was truly unusual.

"The line’s long. Let’s sit over there and wait for a bit," Alexander said.

"Okay," Alicia nodded.

Alicia’s POV

Since I couldn’t pass the time on my phone, I started listening to the conversations around me. On the marriage side, couples spoke softly, filled with warmth. But on the divorce side, it was the complete opposite—arguments, accusations, and raised voices filled the air. Some couples even changed their minds halfway, suddenly deciding not to divorce after all. Everything felt chaotic.
