My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 404

“I’m not sure I see the point of this desperate struggle you’re putting up.”

Hannah didn’t show a flicker of anger at his words; she had grown accustomed to his shameless tactics.

“Lionel, you’re the one who wanted a divorce. You’re the one who had the affair. You cheat, you file for divorce—I haven’t stood in your way. I’ve gone along with everything you wanted. So why now? Why are you suddenly refusing to sign? Don’t you dare tell me you’ve fallen in love with me now of all times.”

“I have fallen in love with you.”

He said it without any warning.

Hannah fell silent the moment she heard him.

The office was plunged into a dead stillness.

After a long moment, a genuine look of surprise crossed Hannah’s face, but it quickly faded, leaving only a trace of shock.

She let out a small laugh. “And? You love me, so I’m supposed to just accept your ‘love’ and get back together with you?”

“I waited for you for three years. Three years, and I never got the evidence I needed. It was only after I’d completely given up hope that you tell me this. What do you take me for? Do you think I should just accept you because you say you love me? Let me tell you, your love is cheap, and it’s not worth my time. Don’t waste your breath. Just sign the divorce papers. The sooner you sign, the sooner we can finalize this and go our separate ways.”

She didn’t understand.

She couldn’t comprehend it.

It was baffling, truly baffling.

With that, Hannah smiled and walked out.

After seeing Hannah out, the secretary returned to the office.

She had barely reached the doorway when she saw Lionel staring dejectedly at the divorce papers on his desk.

Seeing them at such an impasse, she knew it wasn't her place to say anything. She quietly walked over, closed the door for him, and went back to her own office to call Mary.

“Ma’am, Ms. Green was here today. She came to discuss the divorce with him and brought the papers. But it doesn’t look like he intends to sign. Ms. Green said if he doesn’t sign today, she’ll mail another copy tomorrow. She said she’d send it to the office, to the factory, and even to you. All she wants is his signature on the divorce papers.”

Mary pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance. “That woman has completely lost her mind. First, she announces their marriage to the world, and now she’s storming his factory to demand a divorce. This is nothing short of blackmail.”
