Nella was just about to insist she didn’t want them when Alfred’s next sentence came through the phone.

“All of this is written into the agreement, and you’ve already signed it. If you have objections, I’ll withdraw the divorce application tomorrow, and we’ll draft a new one…”

“I’ll take it. I’ll take everything. Don’t withdraw it.”

The moment she heard the word “withdraw,” Nella agreed almost without hesitation.

Alfred’s low laughter came through the phone, tinged with faint bitterness.

“Alright. Then tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Just as Nella was about to hang up, Alfred called her name again. “Nella.”

“Yes?”

“For these three years, I’ve failed you.”

His hoarse voice carried a trace of loneliness.

Thinking of the divorce settlement, Nella replied casually, “With that much money, I’d say you’ve more than made up for it.”

A soft laugh escaped Alfred.

“Nella, I’ve realized you’re actually pretty humorous sometimes.”

Nella rolled her eyes.

She was just good at letting go.

Dwelling on the question of why Alfred didn’t love her would only wear her down bit by bit.

Their relationship started with a contract they had both agreed to.

She couldn’t bring herself to resent him.

Even when she’d been buried under an avalanche and received that message, all she did was stop loving Alfred.

She had never hated him.

She always kept in mind the saying: if you make a choice willingly, you have to accept the consequences.

But that anger had nothing to do with whether Alfred loved her. If anyone else had defended Eileen, she would’ve been just as angry.

So when Eileen was arrested and sentenced to five years when the truth about Zoey framing her was fully

exposed, and Alfred didn’t interfere, the resentment in er chest finally dissipated.

Once she stepped out of the prison of “love” and looked at things rationally, trading three years of marriage for over a hundred billion- even if it was blood money felt more than enough. If her life was worth that much, then any lingering resentment vanished.

Thinking this way, Nella felt lighter.

“Thanks to you, I’ve made the rich list.”

“Mm. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

The dry exchange left an unspoken awkwardness hanging between them.

“I need to get to class now. See you tomorrow.”

“Alright. See you tomorrow.”

Alfred’s low voice carried a hint of reluctance.

Nella didn’t say anything more and hung up.

Alfred stared at his phone, already silent, the faint smile in his eyes slowly fading.

He knew she didn’t want to stay too caught up with him.

That much money was a psychological burden to her.

Yet when he half-joked, half-threatened about withdrawing the divorce application, she agreed almost instantly.

Gosh, she didn’t even leave him a shred of hope.

The next day.

Since she didn’t have any classes in the morning, Nella scheduled a time with Alfred to go to the property registry to handle the transfers.

“Nella.”

Wesley, holding his textbooks, walked over from the other side and called out to her.

“Heading out?”

Wesley asked.

“Yeah. I’m meeting Alfred to take care of some property transfer paperwork.”
