Only Day อย่าเล่นกับระบบ

Renee Myers' tears froze in an instant. "What's the meaning of this, Terrence?"

"It's exactly as I said."

She sprang to her feet. "I'm merely helping Jordan fulfill his dying wish. Do you really have to threaten me with divorce? He's dying, for God's sake! How can you still have such disgusting thoughts in your head?"

Jordan Price let out a couple of weak coughs before reaching out to take her hand. "Forget it, Ren. I shouldn't ruin your marriage just because I'm dying."

Even though he asked her to forget it, he fished the wedding ring out of the trash and clutched it tightly in his palm. His movement was so swift it was as if he was afraid I might change my mind.

Mom burst through the door with my younger brother, Philip Hall, and my son, Oliver Hall, just in time to witness this scene.

"Are you even human, Terrence Hall?" Mom raised her hand to slap me.

I took a step back, and her palm missed its mark.

My 15-year-old son threw himself in front of Jordan. The former's eyes were brimming with tears as he yelled at me, "Uncle Jordan saved my life! This is his only wish! Why can't you just give him this one thing?"

In my previous life, those words had pierced my heart like a knife. In this life, I found them nothing short of laughable.

I nodded. "I'll let him have it. In fact, I'll personally organize the wedding—the hotel, the officiant, the wedding, and the guest list!"

The room fell dead silent.

Renee stared at me, as if she couldn't figure out what I was playing at.

I continued, "Let's not turn this into some secretive deathbed ceremony. Since it's true love, all our friends and family should be there to witness it."

Jordan's eyes lit up, yet he refused. "Terrence, I genuinely have no intention of stealing Ren from you. Once tomorrow's wedding is over, I'll give her back to you. I merely want to experience what it's like to get married before I die."

I chuckled. "That won't be necessary."

Right on cue, the divorce agreement my lawyer had sent arrived in my inbox. I printed it out and slid it across the table to Renee. "Sign it."

Renee was so furious that her fingers trembled. "Do you think I don't have the guts to sign it?"

She picked up a pen and signed her name on the agreement before hurling it at me. "Once the wedding is over, don't come crawling back to me on your knees!"

I put the agreement away and turned to Jordan. "Get ready to take her off my hands tomorrow, groom-to-be."

Everyone assumed I'd finally backed down. However, as soon as I returned to my study, I locked the door and called my lawyer. "Freeze our joint accounts and conduct a thorough audit of our assets."

Next, I contacted a forensic investigator. "Look into Jordan. His medical records, bank statements, travel records, and all his interactions with my wife over the years. The sooner, the better!"
