Chapter 189
“What are you going to do?” Marlon asked urgently.
There’s something I need to get before I leave.” I turned around and met his gaze,
Now that I knew I couldn’t kill my enemy right away. I would go abroad and create a career of my own.
When I came back, I would make those who hurt me pay.
Before I left, there was one last thing I needed to do.
If I left without doing this. I didn’t think I would ever be at peace.
Dylan quickly sensed my logic. “Yvonne, have you decided to leave Elysiumville?”
“Yes” 1 nodded.
Marlon, who had just relaxed, immediately became worried again. “What is it? I’ll get it for you!
“No.” I refused without thinking, my eyes taking on a faraway look. “I want to go myself.”
I was desperate to marry Hayden back then. Now, I wanted to get the divorce agreement myself.
Only in this way could I put a perfect end to my ten years of infatuation.
Half an hour later, I entered Rosy House through the back door.
In my current status, walking through the front door would probably cause a commotion.
Fortunately, I was very familiar with the entire Rosy House. I borrowed a black hoodie from Marlon and easily sneaked in.
It was three o’clock in the morning, and everyone was sound asleep, except for a few servants on night shift.
I knew where they usually stayed and wanted to avoid them, but I overheard their conversation from afar.
A guard said, “Mrs. Parker has been gone for so long. I miss her.”
Another said, “Me too. She was so kind. She even allowed us to eat the same food as she did, and she never scolded us even if we made a mistake…”
Someone else said. “Yes, I wanted to keep Mrs. Parker’s belongings as a memento, but Mr. Parker threw them all away…”
A person said, “How can Mr. Parker like Joanna? I really don’t know what’s so good about her!”
Another person said, “There is no reason for feelings, is there?”
Someone else said, “But I just miss Mrs. Parker so much…”
Their conversation made my eyes moist.
If possible, I really wanted to say goodbye to them.
Unfortunately, I was burdened with deep hatred, so I could only hide in the dark at this moment.
I raised my hand and wiped the corners of my eyes, recalling the purpose of my trip.
Since Hayden was going to remarry, I believed that he must have signed the divorce agreement I left behind.
It was a luxury to get a divorce certificate at that moment, but a divorce agreement was
the
same.

Chapter 150
I went to the living room, and opened the cabinet under the coffee table, but couldn’t find what I wanted.
I thought. Could Hayden have taken it to the study? He usually works in his study
With that thought. I dodged the servants and headed upstairs.
As I passed the hallway, I was surprised to find a white piano in the previously empty space.
I thought, “Hayden didn’t like the piano. How could he..‘
But soon I thought of Joanna:
I thought. Didn’t Hayden buy a piano at the auction and give it to her?
It’s probably to please Joanna…
I pulled the corners of my mouth coldly, for some reason there was a faint pain in my heart.
I wondered if it was the body’s automatic response.
I still felt heartache when I think of Hayden who I was supposed to hate at that moment.
I took a deep breath, suppressed this slight discomfort, slowed down, and approached the study.
The light was still on, and I didn’t know how long Hayden was going to work.
In doubt, a conversation suddenly came from the study. “Wine… Bring me some more wine…”
“Wine…. Bring me some more wine…”
“Mr. Parker, you can’t drink anymore. You’re drunk. Rita persuaded.
Hayden ignored her, slapped the table, and shouted, “Go get it!”
“Yes” Rita wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and had to retreat.
I quickly retreated back into the darkness.
After she left, the study fell silent.
I peeked inside and found Hayden already asleep at his desk.
Rita could be back any minute, so I had to work quickly.
I tiptoed inside, only to find empty wine bottles scattered haphazardly across the floor.
I thought, ‘Did Hayden drink all of this?”
I couldn’t help but frown
In my memory, Hayden was never particularly fond of smoking or drinking. He rarely smoked, and when he had alcohol, he hardly ever let himself get drunk.
I remember him telling Nevin that alcohol was a hindrance. He always needed to have a clear head, so he never allowed himself to get drunk.
Those words from that day still seemed to echo in my ears, so I wondered why he broke his former resolve so quickly.
Then again, he could easily break the vows he made to the priest at the wedding, so this didn’t seem important to me.
I thought, ‘He’s getting remarried, so why is he drinking so much? Is it for celebration?

Chapter 189
I shook my head, not giving it much thought, and began rummaging through the desk.
Among a pile of black folders, a kraft paper document hag suddenly appeared.
My heart leaped with joy as I thought, Isn’t that what I gave Hayden before?”
Quickly reaching out and taking it, I opened it and saw that it was indeed the divorce agreement, and it had my and Hayden’s signatures on it.
Seeing this, the big stone that had been hanging in my heart finally fell.
Carefully pulling out one copy, folding it up, and putting it in my pocket, I turned to leave.
As soon as I took a step. I heard a delirious mumble from behind me. “Yvonne…
..don’t go
go…
Those words were hitting my eardrums and my heart, which was shaken in an instant.
I froze for a moment before thinking, ‘Is he awake? That will be a bit of a problem.
I gritted my teeth and turned around, thinking about how to solve the dilemma in front of me, but the next second I saw Hayden’s eyes still tightly closed.
My eyes flickered, and I quickly realized that he must have been talking in his sleep just now.
My heart relaxed, but a faint sadness engulfed me again.
Hayden was lying quietly on the desk, his long eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he had countless worries.
His face became thinner, and his chin became sharper. There were even dark circles under his eyes.
I couldn’t help but wonder, The news said that he was in a hurry to remarry. He must have met someone he really liked.
“If that’s the case, why does he look so depressed now?
“And all these wine bottles…
I couldn’t help but think of how high–spirited and handsome he was when we first met,
He could even look like a prince while wearing a simple white shirt.
Just looking at him from afar made my heart race.
It was then that I realized that one’s heart would really skip a beat when looking at their crush.
At that time, I was completely smitten with him, and I was even willing to give my life for him.
My
once naive and passionate love had finally come to an end.
I couldn’t help but take two steps forward, my fingertips lightly touching the space between his eyebrows.
The moment his body heat reached me, I realized what I had done.
I thought, “We’re about to part ways. Am I feeling reluctant right now?
“Perhaps, it’s not him that I’m reluctant to leave, but the youth that I poured into those years.
As I was lost in my thoughts, Hayden suddenly opened his eyes.
Those deep black eyes looked at me immediately.
