Too Late for Regret:My Ex-Husband Are Trying to Win Me Back novel Chapter 2

Zachary suddenly halted, and Lynette collided with him. Pain shot through her nose, but she forced herself to endure, glaring up at him.

The cold wind tousled the loose strands of hair over his forehead, partially covering his eyes. Even so, she could tell he was angry.

In their three years of marriage, this was the second time he had shown her his temper. His gaze was glacial, his tone edged with impatience. "You want a divorce that badly?"

Lynette had asked for a divorce countless times before, only to be dismissed with his smile. But this time, he was finally listening, and he was asking seriously.

She nodded. "Yes. Since the day you stood against me in court, this marriage stopped working."

Zachary let out a cold laugh, mocking. "Fine. I'll grant you your wish."

He seized her roughly, shoving her into the car. Barely an hour later, the legalities were complete, and the documents were signed at the county clerk's office.

Before the staff could even speak, Zachary scoffed. "There's a 30-day waiting period before the divorce is finalized. That should be enough time for you to cool off. Drain the nonsense out of your head and think clearly. Lynette, when you push things too far, even I get tired of it."

Lynette laughed bitterly. She truly wanted a divorce, but Zachary thought she was just acting out.

He continued, his voice sharp. "I've been too gracious with you. You don't even know what's good for you anymore. Since that's the case, I'm done coddling you. Watching you behave like this is exhausting."

With arrogance still clinging to his stride, Zachary picked up his suit jacket and walked out. Without looking back, he added, "Tomorrow night is the company's IPO gala. Don't show up with that dead look on your face."

The moment he left, the staff looked at Lynette with sympathy.

Lynette stared at his retreating figure and muttered under her breath, "Zachary, this divorce is real."

…

The waiting period was 30 days. Lynette booked a flight for exactly 30 days later and quietly sold every property under her name.

Back then, Zachary had insisted she hold assets of her own, gifting her several estates. Now that she was leaving, she saw no reason to keep any of it.

After packing her things, Lynette dragged her suitcase toward the door, preparing to move out. Just as she reached the villa's entrance, Zachary came back.

She was surprised. He rarely came home anymore. He frequently stayed with Charmaine to look after her while she was sick.
