The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 252

Two days later.

Adrian finalized the deal, buying Diana's shares in the Evans Group.

Combined with Jocelyn's inheritance waiver, it seemed Diana had walked away as the ultimate winner.

Right after signing the acquisition papers, Adrian went straight to find Jocelyn.

At that moment, Jocelyn was on the balcony, keeping Sylvia company in the warm sunlight.

Jocelyn didn't let Adrian inside; instead, she went down and got into his car.

Adrian didn't waste any time.

"I agreed to sell the Evans Group shares back to you. Once you have them, you drop the lawsuit, and we part ways amicably."

"Fine by me," Jocelyn said. "But to bypass the mandatory divorce cooling-off period, I want us to file the paperwork online. That way, we can get this over with quickly."

Adrian frowned, studying her face.

"Are you really in that much of a rush to divorce me? You can't even wait a few weeks?"

"Every extra day is pointless," Jocelyn replied smoothly. "It's better if we just let go, go our separate ways, and wish each other the best."

Now that she had her mother back, all Jocelyn wanted was a peaceful life.

Adrian fell silent for a long moment.

"You hate me a lot, don't you?"

Jocelyn kept her tone entirely neutral.

"There's no point in talking about that anymore."

"Then what is the point, to you?" Adrian pressed.

"Leaving you. Walking my own path. That's the only thing that matters to me now."

Adrian didn't know what came over him, but in that instant, he felt an overwhelming urge to pull her into his arms.

He was terrified that if he let her go now, they would never find their way back to each other.

"I always thought you were just making a scene about the divorce to get my attention. I thought you just wanted me to notice you, to care about you. I never imagined..."

"You really want out. Even if it means walking away empty-handed, you still want this divorce."
