Chapter 83
He was slightly stunned. âYou⦠knew about what happened at the company?â
âYeah, I just found out today.â I tried to shrug nonchalantly, but I found that I had no strength left. âSo, youâre not going to change your decision, right?â
How could he bear to let Jessica stand at the center of attention again?
As expected, his face turned slightly cold. âSheâs having a delicate pregnancy and canât handle stress. But rest assured, once sheâs better, I wonât let you suffer any more grievance.â
His words made me completely disappointed.
I suppressed the sourness in my nose and looked at him disappointedly. âBut what if Iâm pregnant too? What if my situation is worse than hers?â
Every minute and every second I stood there, I could feel the dull ache in my lower abdomen and the dampness below.
But my husband told me his sweetheart couldnât handle stress, so I had to handle it.
Meaning, my life was expendable, and I should just endure it.
Ryanâs body stiffened slightly, then he chuckled dryly.. âAre you also being as naive as her?â
âWhat?â
âExcept during your safe periods, when did we ever not use protection? You couldnât possibly be pregnant,
Suddenly, a cold wind seemed to blow from nowhere, chilling me to the bone.
My heart was trembling, my voice hoarse. âHave you never thought that we might have a child together?
He frowned. âAre you saying you want a childâ¦?
âStop.â
I suddenly couldnât control my emotions, cutting him off coldly. âYou have time, donât you? Letâs go and finalize the divorce this afternoon.â
Ryanâs face instantly became indifferent. âI donât have time anymore.â
âIf not today, then tomorrow.â I pursed my lips, speaking slowly and deliberately. âTomorrow afternoon, wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau,
âThen letâs make it noon. If we have to part ways, we should at least have a farewell meal together.â He lowered his gaze to look at me.
I was on the verge of bursting out in tears. I then shook my head. âFor people who are parting ways, thereâs no need to leave behind too many memories.â
With that, the elevator doors opened. I didnât even have the courage to look at him again as I turned and stepped into the elevator.
The next afternoon.

Jane saw me changing clothes to head out. âYouâre going out? Didnât the doctor say you need rest?â
âIâm going to get divorced.â
The temperature dropped sharply. I put on a white cashmere coat, but my lips still lacked color. âIf we get it over with early, I wonât keep getting emotional. The doctor also said that being in a good mood is important.â
Besides, we would be driving back and forth, so I wouldnât be exposed to the cold weather for too long.
It was no different from resting at home.
Jane was still worried. âDo you want me to go with you?â
âNo need.â
I wanted to go alone.
It was pathetic to think that when we got our marriage certificate, Ryan wasnât even there. Everything was handled by Grandpa.
This time, going through the divorce proceedings, we could at least enter the Civil Affairs Bureau together. We missed the marriage part, but at least both of us would be here for the divorce part.
When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ryan was already waiting at the entrance.
The weather was terrible today. It would rarely rain this heavily in autumn.
He walked over with an umbrella, took my arm, and gently reminded me, âTake it slow, donât step in the puddles.â
âOkay.â
The air was damp and cold. After getting out of the car, I couldnât help but shiver. I looked up at him. Letâs go inside.â
The ground was slippery, and he was afraid I might slip, so his big hand firmly held my shoulder.
Just like these three years of marriage.
A strange feeling arose in my heart. At that moment, we could still support each other as husband and wife, but once we stepped out that door, we would be strangers.
Just as we stepped through the entrance, a staff member approached with a smile.
âHere to get your marriage certificates? You two must love each other a lot, coming here on such a rainy day to get married.â
