Chapter 426: I Want A Divorce
After getting off work, Ethan sal inside his cai, staring at everyone leaving the Larson Group’s building
He didn’t start driving until he saw J walking out. He then followed her closely, making sure to tail her
at a moderate speed When he noticed that she wasn’t on her way home, he sped up and pulled over
beside her
J looked inside the car and saw Ethan.
He was truly dashing in his suit. And the smile on his face made him look all the more charming. Ethan
rested his hands on the steering wheel, visibly hesitant before asking, “Wanna go home together?”
J ignored him and continued walking along the road.
Ethan followed her for a few minutes before she finally stopped in her tracks, frustrated and livid
Why am I angry with Ethan? Charis is the one who provoked me! This is all because of my pathetic self-
esteem and insecurities. J thought in distress
The mere thought of that made J feel even sadder.
She and Ethan were like two parallel lines that would never meet in between. If it weren’t for his mother’s
last wish, they never would’ve gotten together.
Because J stopped walking, Ethan stepped on the brake and pulled over behind her. It took a few
moments before J decided to step into the car in silence.
Ethan frowned

Instead of feeling happy, he sensed that something was amiss. The reason why J wasn’t talking to
him before was because she was angry with him. But now, he could tell that something else was wrong.
The light in his eyes dimmed, and his heart sank. He quietly turned the steering wheel and drove back to
the vi.
Slowly, the ck Maybach pulled over at the gate of the vi. When Ethan unfastened his seatbelt, he
noticed that J wasn’t getting off the car. She was staring at an old couple beside the pedestrian
crossing. The old woman was holding the old man’s arm as they crossed the road together. It somehow
reminded her of something she always read in fairy tales, “And they lived happily ever after.”
“That’s beautiful,” J eximed, her face lighting up along with the setting sun Ethan’s heart tightened
and his voice became hoarse, “Someday, when our hair greys out and our bones go brittle, we’ll be like
them”
J shook her head, chuckling under her breath.
“I don’t think so.”
Ethan clenched the steering wheel, immediately feeling tense.
Thereafter, J looked at him intently and smiled.
“You’re much taller than that old man, so I won’t be able to support you like that.”
Just as Ethan felt relieved and was about to say something, she cut him off and added in a trembling
voice, “Ethan, I want a divorce.”
For the first time ever, Ethan’s mind went nk. Despair and disbelief clouded his thoughts and his
heart.
“Who talked to you and what did they say?” he asked.
Ethan had thought that J was merely upset.
He had led himself to believe that after a period of time, she would stop getting angry, and by then, he’d
apologize to her again. Then, everything would be okay again. Not once did he think that they’d get a
divorce. Still shaking her head, J looked down while twirling thece on the hemline of her dress.
“I just want a divorce, Ethan. I’m exhausted…”
After casting him a nce, J looked down once more Hie intimidating appearance frightened her
“I’m not okay with the fact that you’ve been lying to me, Ethan! I can no longer trust you and in a
marriage trust is the most important thing.”
Ethan knew that he did lie and J was indeed mad, but there was definitely more to the story so he
was patient with her.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
J shook her head again.
No matter what he said, she didn’t want to say another word
Ethan rubbed his temples and closed his eyes as he sat in the driver’s seat in silence for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, he said, “I will never agree to a divorce, J.”
The setting sun finally slid down the horizon, and everything around them turned dimmer. Ethan couldn’t
see her face clearly anymore.
“I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear what you said today. Never mention it again,” he said in a soft voice.
