Chapter 8

Author: Memory Lane
I laughed. “Oh, sorry. I forgot. We never celebrate such a stupid anniversary anyway.

“Besides, my birthday was long ago. I don’t have the habit of celebrating it later.”

“Naomi…” Liam still had something to say, but I did not want to waste my breath on him anymore.

“Just sign the papers,” I said and hung up. I also blocked the number.

However, after I got off work the next day, I found two unwelcome guests at home.

Liam looked haggard, and Heather was not dolled up like usual. The circles under their eyes were so dark that they looked like they had been punched.

By the looks of it, these past few days had not been easy on them.

Good. I felt great seeing them suffer.

The moment Liam saw me, he said, “Naomi, I’m not mad at you anymore. Could you stop this tantrum?”

I scoffed and coldly said, “Why do you still think I’d care whether you’re mad at me or not? I believe I’ve made myself clear.

“Liam, I’m telling you right now. I don’t love you anymore, and I want a divorce

    Heather’s face turned red. “Enough!” Liam suddenly shouted. He pointed at me as he hissed. “Why have you become like this? “You want a divorce? Fine. But I’m not the one walking away with nothing. You are.“If you won’t agree to it, I’m not signing the papers.”I laughed at his words and coldly reminded him, “I suppose I am the one who made you this overly confident in yourself. “Right now, you have no grounds to negotiate with me. “You don’t want to sign the papers? That’s fine. I can sue you too. After all, I’m not the only one who saw you marry another woman while you’re still married to me.”All of Liam’s haughtiness bled from him like air from a popped balloon. He scowled, though he was rendered speechless. As I watched these two deflate in defeat, I told them to get out. “I’ll give you three days to think about it. You can leave now.”Liam squared his shoulders. “This is my house too. You have no right to chase me out.”Unbothered, I shrugged. “You can stay, but

    “I’m Rivas, your junior. Don’t you remember me? We took part in Professor Hewitt’s research topic together.”Right then, he began to seem familiar. “I wasn’t expecting you to be so amazing now. You’ve become quite the famous lawyer.”Rivas smiled bashfully at my praise. “You’re amazing too, Naomi. I heard that you’re a department supervisor at a Fortune 500 company.“I wanted to continue working with you after the research topic ended. Unfortunately, I went abroad as an exchange student soon after.“By the time I came back, you had already graduated.”Rivas seemed to find the situation truly regretful, and I was stunned. For a time, I did not know how to continue the conversation.Fortunately, Rivas changed the subject. “By the way, I heard that you’re filing for a divorce. What’s going on?”I nodded and told him everything that had transpired between me, Liam, and Heather. Rivas listened patiently, but he still seethed with anger. “How could he not know how to treasure

    I did not even know what to say to Liam’s shameless response. “Forgive me? Liam, this isn’t a problem that can be solved with your forgiveness. I’ve asked my lawyer to send you the divorce papers. Remember to sign them.”Heather seemed to realize that I was really angry this time, and she anxiously said, “Are you angry because I faked a wedding with Liam? Don’t worry. I’ll go back and tell everyone that I’m not really married to him. Just don’t hold my mother accountable.“If you don’t believe me, I promise that once my mother’s home, I won’t meet up with Liam again.”Heather spoke so sincerely, but I was already sick of those words. After all, she used this tactic often. Whenever she mentioned cutting ties with Liam, he would just protect her even further and do whatever it took to fulfill her wishes. Naturally, it was the same this time. As if something had triggered him, Liam screeched, “Are you done throwing your tantrum, Naomi?!“Heather and I are just friends. We’ve

    “I’ll take accountability for what happened to your mother. No matter how much money you want, I’ll do my best to pay, as long as you make it up to Liam. “If you’re still angry, you can hit me in your mother’s stead. I won’t complain about it.”Heather’s method of sowing discord was as good as ever. With just a few words, she managed to make Liam displeased with me again. Regret shone in his eyes as he held Heather’s hand. “Don’t worry, Heather. You and Mom did nothing wrong. I won’t let you take accountability.”Then, he glared at me and said, “That’s enough, Naomi! Heather already apologized! Why won’t you just overlook this?!“I shouldn’t have brought her over to visit your mother! What a waste of time and my love for you!”As usual, Heather gave me a really smug look. I had seen them play off each other like this multiple times. In the beginning, I felt jealous and angry. But that gradually turned into mental fatigue, and finally, I felt nothing. In the end, I paid a

    Liam stood still, as if he was worried that things would blow out of proportion even more. At the sight of his hesitance, Mia suddenly clutched her chest and started moaning. Right then, every trace of hesitation evaporated from his face. “Mia, are you okay? Naomi, leave with your mother, now!”At that moment, the anger I had vanished. All that was left was disappointment and resentment toward Liam. The ambulance arrived on time, and my mother survived. As I watched how all sorts of tubes were inserted into my mother, I slapped myself in the face. The man whom I had loved for five years nearly got my mother killed!I really wanted to ask Liam whether he loved me and why he married me in the first place. However, asking those questions at present would be meaningless. When I walked out of the ward, I gave him a call. It went through, and I heard Heather’s disdainful voice. “Naomi? Liam’s taking a shower. You’re going to have to wait. Honestly, your house is really comf
