Lenora pointed at herself with a round face filled with confusion. After leaving Darius’s luxurious home, she had not even had the chance to think about what she was going to do after the divorce.Now, before the wounds in her heart had even begun to heal, her grandfather was telling her that she already had a fiancé.“Grandfather...”“Don’t worry,” Xander interrupted before Lenora could ask again. “He’s not a man like Darius.”Xander let out a long sigh before looking at his granddaughter with a serious expression.Lenora did not approve of the engagement, but the moment she heard Darius’s name, the light in her eyes immediately dimmed. She lowered her head and unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.The wounds Darius had left behind were apparently still far too deep to disappear simply because she had found her family.“Grandfather won’t let you return to living alone like before. Grandfather lost you for so many years. Now that I’ve finally found you, I won’t let any man tr

The silence inside the car lasted for quite some time. Lenora simply sat there, staring at her trembling hands while too many things that had happened in such a short period of time filled her mind.Now, she was sitting inside a Maybach with an old man she did not know at all, while a line of other luxurious cars followed behind them. The situation felt so absurd that Lenora finally gathered the courage to speak.“Who are you?”The old man turned to look at her but did not answer immediately. Instead, he reached for a brown folder lying beside him and handed it to Lenora.With a frown, Lenora accepted the folder and slowly opened it. The moment she saw the name written on the front of the letter, her breath caught.“A letter from Grandfather Blackwell?”“Open it,” the old man said in a hoarse voice.Lenora looked at him for a moment before finally taking the letter out of the folder. Her fingers began to tremble as she read the familiar handwriting line by line."Dear Xander Whitmore,

Her hand slowly reached for the pen. Her fingers trembled so violently that she had to hold it with both hands to keep it from slipping. The tears she had been holding back filled her eyes once again, but this time, Lenora did not wipe them away. She allowed a single tear to fall onto the paper before finally taking a deep breath and forcing herself to read through the document once more.In the end, she had to put an end to everything with a signature.Lenora closed her eyes for a moment. In her mind, memories appeared one after another. The day they got married, when she had stood beside Darius feeling nervous yet happy because she believed that one day, the man would learn to love her. The long nights when she waited for Darius to come home, even though she knew he might never return. The various celebrations she had spent alone, the gifts that were never touched, and the brief conversations that always ended with her husband’s cold attitude.However, the late Grandfather Blackwell

Darius immediately released her hand.However, before either of them could say anything, his adopted sister’s voice broke the silence in the room.“Darius... What are you two doing? Aren’t we still mourning? You two are really embarrassing!”“She almost fell, and I was only supporting her,” Darius immediately replied awkwardly, as if they had just been caught doing something inappropriate.Darius straightened his slightly rumpled shirt. “Why were you looking for me, Corinne?”Corinne was still standing at the doorway with a pale face. She touched her forehead and closed her eyes. “I suddenly feel dizzy. Can you stay with me for a while?”Darius immediately turned toward Lenora. The strange expression that had appeared on his face earlier disappeared in an instant.“Sign it and you’ll be free!”His voice was firm, making it clear that he no longer wanted to see Lenora.Darius stepped toward the door. “Corinne? Are you all right?”The woman nodded weakly while holding her head. “I don’t

“Sign it!” Darius Blackwell’s voice was flat and cold.The divorce papers lay on the table.Lenora Whitmore stared blankly at the several sheets of paper before her, as if the neatly printed words required more time for her mind to comprehend. The five years of marriage she had spent with Darius Blackwell could apparently be ended with nothing more than a few sheets of documents.Across the table, Darius stood with an emotionless expression. The man had just lost his grandfather, yet the old man’s death had become the reason Darius finally dared to let go of a marriage he had never wanted from the beginning.As long as the old man was alive, Darius had never dared to make that decision because their marriage had been one of his grandfather’s greatest wishes. But once the funeral was over, there was no longer any reason for Darius to maintain a relationship that, in his opinion, had long since lost its meaning.Lenora was still wearing mourning clothes when she sat before the divorce p
