Chapter 22 The Final Goodbye 

Finished 

At precisely nine in the morning. Francis arrived at the Bureau of Civil Affairs, right on time. Deep down, he still harbored a glimmer of hope that perhaps Clara did not truly want a divorce. If she was not there, he could use it as an excuse, claiming that she was the one unwilling to go through with it

But the moment he arrived, that hope was shattered

Clara was already there, standing at the entrance with Liam by her side. The two of them were chatting and laughing as if they had no worries in the world

A surge of anger flared up inside Francis. His expression darkened as he strode forward, casting a cold glance at Liam before directing his words mockingly at Clara. Clara, don’t forget that even if we file for divorce today, there’s still a thirtyday coolingoff period. If you were planning to rush in and register your marriage with your lover right after, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.” 

His biting words made Clara frown, but she had no interest in arguing with him. She only wanted to get this over with as soon as possible

Liam, however, had no patience for Francis’s antics. So what if there’s a thirtyday coolingoff period? As long as the divorce certificate is issued, when or whom she chooses to marry is none of your business.” 

If Clara had not stopped him all these days, Liam would have taught this arrogant man another lesson. Francis had already failed Clara, yet he still had the audacity to provoke her. Did he really think the Westwood family would tolerate this

Francis’s face turned icy, his aura sharp and unyielding. As long as our marriage certificate is still valid, she is my wife, and you will always be nothing more than a third party.” 

Liam was not the least bit fazed. He smirked and shrugged So what? She loves me. It’s only a matter of time before you two are divorced. As long as she loves me, we’ll end up together eventually.” 

You!Francis was so infuriated by his shamelessness that he was momentarily lost for words

Clara, unwilling to waste any more time, spoke up. Let’s go. If we don’t finish the process soon, the staff will go on break.” 

Francis clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly before finally gritting his teeth and spitting out, Clara, if nothing else, your taste in men has certainly taken a nosedive.” 

Clara’s expression shifted slightly, her gaze turning colder as she looked at him

Liam had always protected me, never allowing anyone to speak ill of me. And now, Francis had the audacity to insult him

She shot him a glare filled with disgust, as if looking at something filthy. If anything, my taste was worse eight years ago.”

Finished 

Francis froze, caught off guard by her words. He had never expected her to say something like that just to defend Liam

If these past eight years had been a mistake, then what did that make him? And what about our child

Francis, no matter what you say, this divorce is happening Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked into the Bureau of Civil Affairs 

Francis clenched his jaw, his expression unreadable as he silently followed her inside

It did not take long for the two to finish the process. When they stepped out, they were no longer husband and wife. They would just be two people walking separate paths

Liam immediately stepped forward when he saw Clara come out. Without a glance at Francis, he walked with her toward the car

But Francis was not ready to let her 

go just yet

Clara.he called out. Are you really willing to throw away our family, me and Wesley, for him?” 

Even now, he refused to believe she had truly given up on him. There was no way Liam could be better than him. They had a child together. He could not believe she was willing to abandon everything they had

Clara turned back, her voice tinged with exhaustion. Francis, our divorce has nothing to do with 

Liam.” 

Then why?Francis could not understand. If not because of Liam, then why was she so determined to leave him

Clara looked at him deeply, but she did not answer. Instead, she opened the car door and got in

She had told him many times before, but he had never truly listened. She was done explaining

Let’s go,she said to Liam

Francis watched them drive away, his hands clenching into its before he finally turned back to 

his own car

Back at home, Francis ignored Wesley and locked himself in his study, refusing to see anyone. Wesley could obviously sense his father’s foul mood

He picked up his phone to make a call. Ms. Dawson, Daddy seems really sad today. What should I do to make him happy?

On the other end of the line, Natalie’s eyes flickered with intrigue

*Do you know why your daddy is upset? Did something happen today?She asked, already sensing an opportunity

he has locked himself in his room. No matter how much I call for him, he won’t answer. Ms. Dawson. I’m really worried about Daddy. I couldn’t reach Mommy, so I called you instead. Do you think Daddy will die?” 

Oh, sweetheart, don’t worry. I will come over right now,” Natalie assured him, her heart brimming with satisfaction

After hanging up, she quickly freshened up and headed straight to the Pierce Residence

Before long. Natalie was standing before Wesley, ready to seize her chance
