Chapter 1


    “Please, Leo, I’m begging you.


    Please head home with me,” Amelie Dillion pleaded pathetically, ignoring the scornful gazes


    surrounding her booth. When her husband, Leo Alston, heard her words, he stood up stiffly and walked


    out with a grim expression.


    However, he did not oblige to her request and took her to another booth.


    Then, he took a bank card out of his wallet, threw it on the table in front of her, and said coldly, “I’m not


    interested in going home with you to celebrate that so-called wedding anniversary.


    Here, take this and go shopping on your own!” After finishing his words, he didn’t stay any longer and


    left the booth.


    “Leo!” She grabbed the hem of his shirt in panic.


    “Would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t break the promise because of myself?” Hearing her


    words, he retorted with a sneer, “Would you believe your own words? Are you sure you broke the


    promise because of me?” It is because of you! If only you remembered what really happened, you


    would then understand everything.


    Sadly, you have forgotten about the past.


    Hence, no matter how much I exin it to you, you would only find it ridiculous, thought Amelie as her


    shoulders dropped in defeat. Ring! At that moment, her phone’s rm rang, signaling that it was


    12.00AM, concluding the day of their wedding anniversary.


    It also meant that the time she had set for herself to let everything go was up.


    Even so, she still wanted to make thest run for it.


    “Leo—” Before she could get her words out, Amelie’s phone cut her off again with a notification.


    Then, she looked at her phone and saw a photo of a man and a woman sleeping together.


    The man in the photo was Leo, her husband. Huh, Leo cheated on me.


    Well, I don’t want a man who cheated! Amelie thought.


    In that split second, she finally made up her mind.


    “Let’s get a divorce.” As she spoke, she silently let go of the hem of his shirt.


    Hearing her words, Leo turned around and looked at her in surprise.


    After all, he didn’t believe that she would say such words to him when she had just been begging him


    to spend their anniversary together. However, he then realized that she was a smart and calctive


    person.


    There was no way she would give up on being Mrs. Alston.


    “The password is eight zeros!” After telling her the card’s password, Leo left her alone.


    After he left, Amelie looked at the card and smiled bitterly. To think that I have spent four years of my


    life trying to prove that I love him for who he is, not for his money or the title of Mrs. Alston.


    Moreover, I even gave him fifteen days to choose between his family and the one he loves.


    In the end, I lost everything! Since I’ve done everything in my power while loving him, I won’t hesitate to


    move on when the timees! Thinking about this, she rushed out of the booth and stopped Leo by


    the elevator.


    Then, she gave him the divorce papers and said, “I’m serious about getting a divorce.


    I won’t take a single penny from your family and leave without taking anything!” Just as her words fell,


    she heard a loud bang and saw that the papers had been thrown into the garbage can.


    “Know your ce before acting like a madwoman!” Leo said in annoyance.


    Amelie knew that he was like the Alstons, who thought that she would not be able to survive without


    him since she was not educated, had no background, and had no job.


    “Don’t worry, I know my ce very well.” She picked up the papers and dusted the dirt off of them


    before handing them to him again.


    “Since it’s toote to do the procedures today, let’s do it at 9.00AM tomorrow.


    Be there or be square.” After finishing her words, she walked past him and left.


    When Amelie arrived downstairs, she suddenly deted and leaned against the wall, gasping for air.


    What she had done just now took a toll on her since she was used to being submissive around him. As


    she thought about it, tears rolled down her cheeks while she wiped them away.


    Although she was prompt to cut ties with him, she was still in agony; this was someone whom she had


    loved for almost ten years, after all. After some time, she sighed and stood up, looking at her reflection


    mockingly in the mirror. This must be my biggest failure in life by using four years and fifteen days to


    prove to myself that a man will never be in love with me, she thought.


    The next day, Amelie went to the Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning.


    When the clock struck at 11.00AM, Leo was still nowhere to be seen.


    In the meantime, she had called him multiple times, but he did not answer his phone.


    Knowing that he was a busy man, she ended up going to hispany since she wanted to get this


    done today.


    Just as she arrived at hispany, she saw him standing in front of a car.


    He was holding the car door with one hand while he had ced the other hand on the roof as a woman


    slowly entered the vehicle.


    When the woman turned her head, Amelie saw who it was; it was the woman Leo couldn’t forget.


    When Amelie saw the scene, she huffed as an ironic smile formed on her lips.


    Initially, she thought Leo couldn’t make it to their divorce because he was busy.


    Never did she expect that he would be absent because he was keeping his sweetheartpany.


    Amelie wondered how clingy he was when he had spent most of his time with his sweetheart when the


    woman returned half a month ago.


    As soon as Leo’s sweetheart left, Amelie walked up to him and said, “I have been waiting for you.


    No matter how busy you are, getting a divorce won’t take up much of your time.” Leo frowned when he


    saw her, and annoyance filled his eyes.


    “I still have to evaluate some important projects.


    I can’t have any negative news at this moment!” Hearing his excuse, she thought it was ridiculous and


    felt that it would be worse if people found out that he was spending time with his sweetheart while still


    being married rather than divorced.


    Before she could say anything, Leo’s assistant rushed forward and told him that an important matter


    was waiting for him.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    The two then left, and Amelie lost touch with him once again. However, she didn’t want to wait any


    longer.


    Thus, she texted him, asking him to show up on behalf of their four years marriage while sending him


    the time to meet up.


    When she arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time in the afternoon, she saw Leo as expected.


    He stood in front of his car and looked like a masterpiece with his handsome features.


    Even when they were getting a divorce, Amelie was still attracted to him and felt bitterness in her heart.


    Would I have still made that reckless decision had I known our ending from the start? she thought.


    While thinking about it, Amelie couldn’t help but reach out as she touched her left eye.


    In fact, no one knew that she couldn’t see things with her left eye anymore.


    Then, she suppressed her emotions, strode forward, and handed the divorce papers to him again.


    “I have already signed the papers.


    All you have to do is sign it.


    Then, we will be able to go through the procedures,” she said.


    This time, Leo didn’t say anything and just stiffened before signing his name on the divorce papers.


    The procedures were quick to go by.


    After they filled in some forms, the staff stamped the documents and said, “There will be a cooling-off


    period for you two.


    If either one of you decides to call off the divorce within thirty days, you can cancel it anytime.” The staff


    didn’t give them the divorce certificate since they would need to wait for the cooling-off period to be


    over.


    However, Amelie wanted to end things quickly, so she asked, “Can we skip the cooling-off period and


    just get our divorce certificate?” “No, you can’t,” replied the staff member while shaking her head.


    Hearing the staff’s words, Amelie looked at Leo, but Leo didn’t say anything and left.


    Hence, she could only sign her name on the consent form.


    After all, he would not regret this divorce, and it would only take her some time before she could get the


    certificate.


    After everything was done, she rushed after Leo and said, “Well then, Mr.


    Alston, I’ll see you soon—” Before she could finish her words, Leo had already gotten into the car and


    mmed the door shut.


    Then, he drove off as the cold wind blew.


    Seeing his actions, Amelie sighed and shook her head, thinking to herself, Even after divorcing me,


    he’s still so mean.


    He’s no fun at all. After standing for a while, she dialed a number and said, “Come and pick me up.


    I’m divorced.”
