Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 He Just Wanted Her to Be Happy

“How’s your back?” Lynn said She had no idea why she’d said it.

Lucas gave a soft, enigmatic laugh. “Hard to say. I was hoping Dr. Murphy could give me a thorough examination.”

A thorough examination… Lynn had to admit her mind went straight to the gutter. She had no idea what Lucas meant by that.

See, this is why I shouldn’t talk to Lucas too much.

She clamped her mouth shut, not wanting to pursue the conversation

any

further.

Lucas stole a glance at her expression and couldn’t help finding it adorable.

After seeing everyone off, Isabelle decided to spend the night at the old villa.

Once she had showered, she sat on the sofa, cutting herself a small slice of cake, when she got a message from Bruce.

Bruce sent, “Mrs. Cross, is Mr. Cross okay?”

Isabelle paused, fork in hand. She turned to look at Damian. “Where’s Bruce?” she asked.

Only then did Damian remember Bruce. He’d completely forgotten about him.

Isabelle frowned. Damian must have yelled at Bruce and then ditched him. Otherwise, he’d be here eating cake with them.

Bruce deserved the biggest piece tonight–he’d done the most grunt work getting everything ready for Damian’s birthday.

His lips were sealed tight, even though he’d taken plenty of hush/money. He was the perfect spy.

She shot Damian a glare and transferred Bruce 10,000 dollars on Venmo with the memo “For cake.” Then she took a screenshot and sent it to Damian.

“Pay me back,” she said.

Damian, knowing he was in the wrong, nodded. “Okay,” he said.

After finishing her cake, Isabelle pulled out the divorce agreement to read it carefully.

Damian quickly reached to take it.

Isabelle picked up the plastic cake knife from the table and pointed it at him. “Back up. Unless you want to be a widower.”

Damian was so full of regret. The reckoning was coming faster than he expected.

I should have grabbed this when she was busy. How could I forget?

“Honey, don’t read that…” Damian said, trying to appeal to her better nature.

Isabelle gave him a fake smile and held it out. “Then you read it to me.”

The stack was so thick it would probably take until tomorrow to finish.

Damian quickly took the file folder, tucked the agreement away, and sat down beside her, wrapping an arm around her.

“Don’t be mad,” he said softly.

He had never imagined Isabelle would throw him a birthday party. She had dropped hints before, and he should have caught on, but Anthony’s showing up had thrown him off.

“But don’t think I’m going to forgive you just like that,” Isabelle said, suddenly looking up to confront him. “We still need to talk about this divorce business.”

Damian fell silent.

“Are you really that quick to give up on me?” she pressed. “Even if I did like Anthony, shouldn’t you have fought to win me back?”

Damian was the competitive, possessive type–just look at how he’d gone after Cary. So why had he just given up when it came to Anthony?

Isabelle wasn’t having it. “I’m carrying your child! What were you thinking?”

When she pulled the documents from the paper bag and saw it was a divorce agreement, her mind went completely blank. The tears came without warning, a wave of uncontrollable sadness crashing over her.

Damian looked at her angry face.

How could I ever want to give up the woman I love? But if she and Anthony were really in love, if she truly wanted to leave me, what could I do?

He just wanted her to be happy. To respect her choice. To let her go. Handing her the divorce papers was just his way of trying to hold onto some dignity.

Isabelle took the agreement back from behind him, opened it, and started reading each page carefully.

Damian had put almost everything in her name–the house, the cars, the company, the stocks…

If she signed this, Damian would be left with nothing. Not signing it would be a crime.

Reading this, a lot of her anger faded, but she also found it kind of funny.

Damian couldn’t help asking, “Then why did you agree to the divorce?”

“You shoved divorce papers in my face. Was I supposed to shamelessly beg you to stay?” Isabelle retorted.

Damian was a proud man. If he was set on divorce, what could Isabelle do?

୮

Besides, all their friends and family were right there. If they had a huge blow–up in front of everyone, the embarrassment would be

unbearable.

She wanted to keep her dignity too, or at least cool off first and handle it more calmly later.

“You weren’t even going to try to stop me?” Damian asked, suddenly feeling very wronged.

Isabelle looked at the divorce agreement and couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears started falling, and she hit him with a nearby pillow.
