Adeline’s eyes were red as she tore up the divorce papers.
“Who said I agreed to divorce you?”
“I will never sign!”

Seeing her crazed state, I shook my head and left.
Because I had already talked with a company and was preparing to work abroad as the project manager for overseas projects.
In a few days, I would leave this city with my daughter for good.
Even if Adeline didn’t sign the divorce papers, we were over.
Adeline returned home in a daze.
But as soon as she opened the door, she was stunned.
Because she found that both Declan’s and our daughter Anna’s things were completely
gone.
She searched for a long time but couldn’t find a trace of them in the house.
That’s when she realized, Declan was serious!
He didn’t want her anymore.
Loneliness and helplessness overwhelmed Adeline like a tidal wave.
She sat powerlessly on the carpet, her eyes vacant as she stared at the floor, like a
soulless shell.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Adeline’s eyes brightened, and she jumped up
to open it with joy,
“Declan, I knew…”
Her words stopped halfway, because it wasn’t Declan at the door, but Jasper.
“Oh, it’s you. Why are you here?”
She said, turning away coldly and sitting back on the sofa, staring blankly at the floor again.

I never thought those words would come out of my mouth, but now my tone was extremely calm.
Adeline was stunned, unable to believe her ears.
I looked at her and spoke coldly,
“While you were out on your world tour, I thought a lot. Maybe we really aren’t from the same world, and that’s why so much misfortune happened.”
“And now, it’s time to end all of this.”
My ideal was just to live a stable, simple life with my wife and daughter.
But Adeline loved power and excitement.
We were two parallel lines that crossed due to some mistake, leading to this tragedy.
Now, I just want to quickly end this mistake.
I thought Adeline didn’t care much for me or our daughter, so she would accept all of this calmly.
But to my surprise, Adeline panicked and hugged me tightly, pleading desperately:
“Declan, I know our daughter’s death hit you hard, but don’t act rashly. Let’s talk this through.”
But just as she finished speaking, she got a call from Jasper.
“Something happened to me, Adeline, can you come quickly?”
On the phone, Jasper’s voice had a hint of tears.
Seeing this, I just chuckled coldly, “If you’re busy, you can go. I’ll stay here with our daughter.”
I thought Adeline would leave me without hesitation to care for Jasper.

Because this had happened many times before, and I was used to it.
But this time, Adeline hesitated, then hung up on Jasper and pleaded with me:
“Declan, I don’t want to be with Jasper, I just want to be with you.”
“I’m really sorry about our daughter’s death, but it wasn’t intentional.”
“I’ll raise your living expenses to ten thousand a month, just don’t divorce me, okay?”
I was stunned, looking at Adeline.
In my memory, this was the first time she chose me over Jasper.
But it didn’t matter anymore. My heart had been shattered by her too many times, and no
matter how hard she tried to piece it back, it could never be the same.
I took out the divorce papers I had prepared and handed them over,
“No need. I won’t take your money or anything. I just hope after the divorce, you won’t
disturb me and our daughter’s life.”
Adeline’s eyes were red as she tore up the divorce papers.
“Who said I agreed to divorce you?”
“I will never sign!”
Seeing her crazed state, I shook my head and left.

She said, turning away coldly and sitting back on the sofa, staring blankly at the floor
again.
Jasper was slightly taken aback by Adeline’s coldness, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
However, he still spoke as usual, with a hint of grievance, “Why did you hang up on me?”
Adeline, who used to treat Jasper like a treasure, had no intention of comforting him now. Instead, she felt irritated by his questioning.
“I had something to do. What’s wrong?”
She replied casually.
