Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 33

That evening, at the insistence of her mother-in-law, Mila stayed overnight at the old family manor.

Meanwhile, Lysander and Adrian hadn't returned all night.

The manor was a bit far from Mila's workplace, so she got up early the next day, had a quick breakfast, and hurried off to work.

After the usual morning meeting, Mila dove back into interviewing candidates.

Luck was on her side today; among the string of interviews, she finally found someone suitable. The candidate was efficient, and they quickly settled on salary and a start date.

For the first time in a while, Mila felt she could breathe a little easier.

Once she handed over her responsibilities to this new hire, she could leave the company by the end of the year and fully pursue what she truly loved.

However... the divorce couldn't be delayed any longer.

She couldn't understand why Lysander, who clearly had no interest in her, hadn't been home for days.

Had he even seen the divorce papers?

Mila wondered if her mother-in-law had been pressing him about the matter. This seemed like the best chance to finally have a discussion.

That evening, her mother-in-law called, inviting her to dinner at the manor. She found an excuse about needing Mila and Lysander to leave for the Lockwood family gathering from the manor the next day, which was how she managed to get Lysander to come home.

Mila agreed without hesitation.

Tonight, she had to confront him and finalize the divorce.

...

After work, Mila received a call from Lysander offering to pick her up.

Mila refused.

Even though she no longer held any expectations for Lysander, she didn't want to experience being kicked out of the car midway again.

Nor did she want to continue maintaining a facade of marital bliss for the elders.

She drove herself to Montgomery Manor.
