Chapter 7 Divorce
“Seraphina, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Jessica whispered.
Seraphina let out a cold laugh.
She didn’t believe Jessica’s innocent act for one second.
If she hadn’t exposed her today, she might have ended up donating her kidney to be fed to a dog.
Only a fool, like Orion, would blindly believe her lies.
None of this mattered to Seraphina anymore. Jessica and Orion could do as they pleased as long as they signed the divorce agreement.
“Alright. Orion.” Seraphina said calmly. “Since Jessica’s miraculous recovery is so sudden, it’s time we discuss us. With that, she tossed a divorce agreement onto the table in front of Orion.
This is the divorce agreement. Once you sign it, we’ll be done. Don’t worry, I’m not asking for a single cent. You don’t need to worry about me trying to take advantage of you.”
Orion stared at the papers, his already sour expression growing darker. He asked, “Have you thought this through?
Even though he had shown favoritism toward Jessica since her arrival, Orion had never seriously considered divorcing Seraphina.
“I’ve thought it through,” she replied firmly. I’m done living like a slave in your household. Furthermore, isn’t that what your entire family, including your mother, has been waiting for? For me to leave?”
Orion fell silent for a moment. Then, with a heavy sigh, he said, “Alright, I’ll sign.”
He grabbed the pen. His hand trembled slightly as he scribbled his name on the dotted line, betraying the inner turmoil he tried to hide.
Seraphina watched as Orion signed his name. She felt nothing-no sadness or relief. It was as if she had already accepted this outcome long ago. Calmly, she took the agreement, glanced at it, and slipped it into her bag.
She turned toward the door and said, “Now that it’s over. I’m going to leave.”
Orion watched her walk away, and a wave of inexplicable loss swept over him.
Jessica stood by, her eyes flickering with a hint of triumph. Finally, she had to get rid of that woman. Now, it would just be her and Orion.
Her joy was short-lived. When she looked up at Orion, she saw his face dark with anger. His menacing expression made her stomach churn with unease.
“Jessica, you’ve disappointed me, Orion said icily.
Without another word, he turned and left the room, leaving Jessica frozen in place,
Seraphina was searching for Sivir at the hospital entrance when she suddenly felt an embrace from
“Olivia!” Seraphina cried out in surprise and delight as she spun around to see her old friend. “It’s been so long!”
Olivia had been Seraphina’s best friend since childhood. She had never approved of Seraphina’s marriage, and no one had rooted harder for her to divorce Orion than Olivia.
After the wedding, they had drifted apart. Seraphina was overjoyed when she saw her best friend.
After they spun around in a hug. Seraphina pulled back and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I rushed over after hearing from Sivir that you were divorcing that scumbag today.” Olivia shot a glance toward Sivir, who stood nearby.
“Sivir?” Seraphina asked, her eyes gleaming with playful curiosity.
She didn’t remember Sivir and weing particularly close.
Moreover, Sivir wasn’t the type to spread news about personal matters. It seemed a lot had happened when she was away.
Olivia blushed under Seraphina’s teasing gaze.
Just then. Sivir approached, asking, “Are you heading home now, Seraphina?”
“No.” Seraphina replied, shaking her head. “I still have some personal belongings at the Dros estate I need to collect.
She had left in a hurry yesterday without any of her things. Today, she would pick up her clothes and important documents. As for everything else, she didn’t care. Orion’s mother would likely throw out the rest anyway.
