Chapter 4

Ezra had reserved a large private room. Nearly 30 people were sitting inside.

Yvette was at the same table as Ezra's parents, Fraser Dalton and Evelyn Dalton.

She was sitting close to Fraser and Evelyn, with Ezra on her right.

When the waiter opened the door and led me inside, I saw Ezra talking to Yvette.

They were sitting very close to each other, smiling as they looked at one another.

The moment everyone in the room saw me, the room fell silent.

Ezra quickly moved away from Yvette.

Then, as if trying to cover something up, he stood and walked toward me. "You're finally here."

He waved a waiter over and said, "You're the only one left. Come sit down."

I nodded and walked over to Fraser and Evelyn to greet them.

Ezra explained, "My mom wanted to see Yvette, so she asked me to invite her."

Then he leaned closer and lowered his voice. "There's so many of my coworkers here today. What's the harm in having one more person, right?"

I took a step back and calmly said, "Up to you."

I was seated on Ezra's right, while Yvette sat on his left.

When I turned my head, I saw the handbag resting on her lap. It was the one I had loved last year.

Ezra had said he would buy it for me, but it ended up being sent to her instead.

The insulated tumbler sitting in front of her was another thing I had once picked out.

But the most eye-catching thing was the designer gold bracelet on her wrist.

It was a limited-edition collaboration released for Valentine's Day last year. I had loved that design the moment I saw it.

By coincidence, the bracelet officially went on sale on the day of our second wedding anniversary.

Ezra had promised to buy it for me.

But in the end, it was "accidentally" sent to Yvette again.

I asked him to go get it back, but he refused.

We had a huge fight over it and gave each other the silent treatment for a month.

And now that same bracelet was sitting on Yvette's wrist.

The food was served soon after.

Everyone there was either Ezra's coworker or close friend, so the private room was incredibly lively.

Everyone was eating and drinking when someone suddenly started teasing them.

"After all these years, Ezra and Yvette still look perfect together!"

"If it hadn't been for that misunderstanding back then, they would've gotten married years ago. They might even have a few kids by now!"

"Ezra has kept Yvette's special ringtone all these years. If that's not love, then what is?"

Yvette's cheeks turned red. She lowered her head shyly without saying a word.

Ezra only said, "Come on, stop talking nonsense just because you've had a few drinks!"

The teasing only got louder. He could only smile helplessly.

I calmly stayed in my seat without saying a word.

When everyone had almost finished eating, I took two copies of the divorce papers and a pen from my bag and placed them in front of Ezra.

I first turned to Fraser and Evelyn. "Fraser, Evelyn, I'm sorry. I came here today to tell you that I've decided to divorce Ezra."

Then I turned to Ezra. "I've already signed both copies. Sign them too, and we'll go to the courthouse to finish the paperwork when it opens."
