Chapter: 96


    Far from feeling like she had married a husband, in truth, she felt like she had found herself a father.


    As stubborn and proud as she was, Debbie had never ttered anyone to gain favor, buttely she had


    been trying very hard to please her husband. As if that weren’t bad enough, he wasn’t making it any


    easier for her. Instead of having to see him only in the mornings and the evenings at the vi, she


    would now have to put up with him in her school.


    Debbie just couldn’t catch a break with this man. It had to end today.


    She would much rathery her cards on the table and get it over with.


    Carlos walked around the desk to the sofa across her and sat down.

    “Divorce is not an option.” He made himself very clear.


    “Why? I told you I don’t want your money. I don’t want anything from you. Why are you still refusing to


    sign the papers? What else do you want?” ‘What’s wrong with this guy?’ By then, she was so angry she


    wanted to rush over, choke him, kick him in the head, and throw him in


    Arctic Ocean.


    Giving him no time to respond, she went on, “I know I’ve spent a lot of your money in the past three


    years. Don’t worry. I’LL pay every penny back as soon as I find a job.”


    Carlos sensed anger in her tone. When she finally finished speaking, he said, “I didn’t do right by you in


    the past three years. I neglected you. I won’t make the same mistake again in the future.”


    ‘Eh? Did he just apologize to me?’ Debbie didn’t see thating.


    “There is no need for an apology. Anyway, you don’t Love me and I don’t love you either. A loveless


    marriage between two people is meaningless.


    Furthermore, ording to thew, married couples who stay apart for two years or more are


    automatically considered divorced. So if you still refuse to sign the divorce papers, I will have to sue


    you.”


    Herst few sentences forced him to let out a chuckle. After all, this youngdy was too naive.


    *Sue me? No problem. I can help her find the bestwyer in the city.


    But automatically divorced?’ Carlos felt obliged to correct her.


    “Listen. First of all, to be automatically divorced, the couple must be separated for two entire


    consecutive years. One year, nine months and ten days ago, I went back to the vi and slept next to


    you, but you were too sound asleep to know it.”


    Being the gentleman that he was, Carlos had kept the Lights off so she wouldn’t wake up and it was


    too dark to see anything anyway. Nothing had happened between the two of them that night. Besides,


    he had only stayed for two hours and then left for work again.


    Debbie’s eyes nearly popped out at his reply. ‘Hell no! I didn’t even know a man was sleeping next to


    me?’


    Carlos took out a cigarette, but since Debbie was present, he didn’t light it. ying with the cigarette in


    his fingers, he continued,


    “Secondly, the separation must be caused by the falling apart of the couples’ rtionship. In our case, I


    was working overseas. It doesn’t fit the requirements, my dear. Besides, a divorce must be consented


    by both parties. There is no such thing as an automatic divorce.”


    Debbie was so puzzled her face fell faster than a corpse in cement boots. In that instant, her mouth


    hung with lips slightly parted and her eyes were as wide as they could stretch. She started wondering if


    she should hire awyer to see if Carlos was trying to fool her.


    “Thirdly.” He suddenly stood up and moved towards her. Leaning over her with his hands on the arms


    of the chair, he pressed his face close to hers. Debbie was forced to lean back.


    ‘Wh-What is he doing? Why is he so close? Is he trying to seduce me?’


    Debbie thought nervously.
