The reason why Lumi hated Samuel so much was not because he had betrayed her.
Simply speaking, Samuel cheating on her was not enough to make her get a divorce.
The most crucial thing was Kirsi.
Her sister was much more important than her husband.
Samuel colluded with Tumi's dearest sister to betray and fool her.
No matter how they explained, they would not be able to wash away their sins.
Lumi would not believe a word of it anymore.
Lumi looked at the dark sky in the distance. There were no street lights, so it looked like a black hole that could swallow everything.
"Let's get a divorce tomorrow and get it done as soon as possible. If you don't agree with it, I'll send out your photos and file a divorce lawsuit on the grounds that you had an extramarital affair. Samuel, don't make this worse than it already is. You're asking for it."
Lumi’s voice was calm and expressionless.
She had the advantage anyway. If she did not know how to play this good hand of cards, then she would be really stupid.
It was not that Lumi had no love for this man.
They never quarreled since they got married, and even when they had a disagreement, Samuel would give in.
Every minute that they were together was warm and harmonious.
They had feelings for each other, but it was just not that deep.
It was not to the point that Lumi was head over heels in love with him.
Lumi shook off his hand. She was as determined as ever.
She did not intend to look back, nor would she lower her standards.
Lumi would not give up her dignity for the sake of this marriage.
Her career could fail again and again, but not her man.
If her man failed her, she would just marry another one.
Samuel stood there helplessly and watched Lumi walk into the house. He did not even have the courage to go in after her.
Her every word struck his weaknesses.
Samuel’s insignificant phrase of "I like you" could not make her change her mind.
Now, he finally felt the weight of the word " regret".
