Chapter 9

Author: Zac Neal
I didn't lose my temper. I just looked at Chloe calmly and said, "Chloe, watch your words. Yale and I aren't divorced yet. I'm still his lawful wife and a part of the Gibson family."

"His lawful wife?" Willow let out a soft, mocking laugh as she gently stroked her belly. "Ms. Moore, stop fooling yourself. Yale loves me. You're nothing but an unwanted third wheel. If you know what's good for you, you'll pack up and leave before you embarrass yourself even more."

I found Willow's smugness amusin

    I remained silent as a quiet sense of pity washed over me.Everything Willow had schemed so hard to get had ultimately slipped through her fingers."I finally understand now why you were so determined to leave me back then," Yale said, his eyes filled with guilt and regret. "I was a fool. I was too blind to see that the most precious person was right beside me.""It's all in the past," I said calmly. "There's no point in bringing it up now.""I know." Yale nodded, his voice heavy with a lingering sadness."I didn't come here to intrude on your life. I just want to tell you that I've cut ties with the Gibson family. I gave up my inheritance and all my assets. All I want is to live an ordinary life."I looked at him in surprise. "Why would you do that?""Because I want to start over," Yale said with determination in his eyes. "I want to make up for the mistakes I've made and do something meaningful with my life."He paused briefly before continuing, "I've opened a charity school

    Yale looked at me, his eyes filled with helplessness. He asked, "Do you really hate this family and me that much?""It's not hate. I just don't love you anymore, and I'm tired of all this," I said calmly. "Yale, there's no future for us. Just sign the papers. Let me go, and let yourself go, too."Yale was silent for a long time before finally speaking. "If I sign the papers, will you agree to one condition?""Name it," I said, looking straight at him."Please don't cut me out of your life after the divorce," Yale pleaded. "I know I've wronged you in the past, and I don't expect you to forgive me. But I want to know how you're doing. I want to be there for you whenever you need help."Looking at him, I found my resolve beginning to waver.My original plan was to cut all ties with him after the divorce and start a new life. But seeing the desperation in his eyes, I didn't have the heart to say no. After all, we had once been husband and wife. Things had ended bitterly between us,

    I didn't lose my temper. I just looked at Chloe calmly and said, "Chloe, watch your words. Yale and I aren't divorced yet. I'm still his lawful wife and a part of the Gibson family.""His lawful wife?" Willow let out a soft, mocking laugh as she gently stroked her belly. "Ms. Moore, stop fooling yourself. Yale loves me. You're nothing but an unwanted third wheel. If you know what's good for you, you'll pack up and leave before you embarrass yourself even more."I found Willow's smugness amusing. Yale treated her well only because she was carrying his baby, and her family was useful to the Gibsons. Once she lost those advantages, her fate would probably be worse than mine."Whether I leave or stay isn't up to you or Chloe. Yale makes the call," I replied calmly. "Besides, I've already asked Yale for a divorce. I'm just waiting for him to sign the papers."Chloe and Willow both went pale. Willow clearly hadn't expected me to be the one asking for a divorce. Chloe was stunned, too.

    "Must you really be this heartless?" Yale asked softly, a hint of pleading in his voice."I learned it from you," I said coldly. "I'm just taking back what belongs to me."With that, I turned away from Yale and continued packing. He stood in place, watching me in silence. His eyes brimmed with pain, guilt, and reluctance.After a long silence, he finally spoke. "I won't sign them."I paused in my packing and looked up at him. "What do you mean?""I'm not getting a divorce." Yale looked at me with unwavering determination. "Sarah, as long as I don't agree, you'll always remain my wife. You can forget about ever leaving me."I frowned, a wave of irritation rising within me."Yale, don't push me," I said coldly. "If you refuse to sign, I'll have no choice but to take this to court. If things get ugly, it won't just damage your family's reputation. It could also hurt Willow's reputation. I don't think that's what you want."Yale's expression shifted. Clearly, I had hit a nerve.

    Yale's expression was complicated, drawn with exhaustion and weariness. Strands of hair fell messily across his forehead and obscured his eyes."Are you really leaving?" he asked softly, a faint plea in his voice."Yes." I nodded and continued packing without looking at him.Yale walked over and glanced at the clothes in my hand. Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist and threw the clothes onto the floor."Stop packing!" he growled. "Sarah, I'm not letting you go!"I frowned and tried to pull my hand free, but his grip only tightened."Yale, stop this," I warned softly. "There's no going back for us.""No going back?" Yale let out a cold laugh, though his eyes burned with deep agony. "Back then, you begged me to remarry you. And now, you're the one asking for a divorce. What do you take me for? A tool you can summon and dismiss whenever you please?"I looked at him and felt a surge of cold irony."Yale, you've never truly loved me," I whispered with a sad shake of my head. "You're just

    Men were all the same. They only realized what they'd lost once it was gone and took the ones who loved them for granted."Because I don't love you anymore," I said calmly, as if I were stating the simplest fact in the world. "The five years after our divorce taught me a lot about life. Love is far too fleeting and intangible. It doesn't compare to a warm meal and a place to call home."I paused, looking into the shock in his eyes before continuing, "Back when I loved you, every little thing you did stirred my emotions. Your betrayal could shatter me completely."I took a quiet breath, my voice flat. "But now, I don't love you anymore. Who you're with and who you choose to care about has nothing to do with me. I just want to live my own life and spend the rest of my days in peace."The moment those words left my mouth, Yale's face turned deathly pale. His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word.Ignoring him, I turned and walked into the bathroom. I used a towe
