All Chapters of Making My Son's Wish Come True: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

After leaving the courthouse, the marriage certificate between Theodore Gould and me had been replaced with a divorce certificate. This meant our marriage had been officially terminated.Our son, Scott Gould, and Ivanna Newman were both excited at the sight of the divorce certificate.Scott eyed the divorce certificate like it was some new toy and said, "This is great, Ivanna. Now you can finally be with Dad."After saying that, he realized that it sounded inappropriate. Quickly covering his mouth, he glanced at me nervously.Theodore, noticing this, squeezed my hand and comforted me, "You will always be my wife. That won't change."Ivanna's eyes reddened, and she said shyly, "I've put you in a tough spot, Janice. You both had to go through all this to fulfill my wish, even at this age."I didn't say anything.When Ivanna didn't receive any words of blessing from me, she made a great show of wanting to head back into the courthouse with Theodore and me in tow.She said sadly, "

Theodore said, "Maybe you've just been too tired lately? You're starting to imagine things. I took the day off for you. Just rest well today."My hands, which were clenched tightly moments ago, suddenly relaxed. I let out a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Theodore."I thanked him wordlessly for choosing to keep lying to me when I started to go soft. He had effectively strengthened my resolve to leave.Theodore thought I was thanking him for taking the day off for me. So, he smiled without saying anything and gently closed the door.I called Lily and said, "Help me find a reliable lawyer. I need one who specializes in divorce cases."Of course, Lily wasn't the least bit surprised. "Got it. Once I find someone, let's meet and talk."A few days later, she met me at a cafe. The lawyer she recommended was professional and dependable. After understanding my situation, he quickly offered practical and effective advice. After we finalized the details, he left and returned to his fi

I set Hayden's suggestion aside for the time being. For now, what I needed was to sort through my jumbled thoughts.After packing my luggage, I left the home I had lived in for over a decade and boarded a plane bound for Wismuth.As I was boarding, I saw a familiar figure once again. When he noticed that I had seen him, he took off his sunglasses."Were you following me?" I asked.Hayden smiled and replied, "I suddenly felt like taking a trip to Wismuth."I gave a small smile in response but didn't call him out.As we walked side by side, our hands brushed repeatedly. Finally, they clasped together.But all I wanted at that moment was some comfort and nothing more.After boarding, unsurprisingly, Hayden and I sat together. I had thought that the nervousness of being with an old flame once more would keep me awake. But when I opened my eyes, I found myself leaning against Hayden's shoulder."Sorry, I must've been sleeping too soundly," I said apologetically.Hayden shook his

Now, I began to doubt. As I looked at Hayden's expectant face in front of me, my first instinct was to question if he was for real.Theodore had also treated me with utmost care before we got married. But look at what happened afterward. Would Hayden turn out to be another Theodore?I couldn't be sure. After all, I no longer had another ten years left to gamble with."Hayden, I'm…"Before I could finish, Hayden interrupted me by pulling out a prenuptial agreement from his pocket.I took it and quickly skimmed through. The document indicated that after I got married to Hayden, I would receive two-thirds of his assets.I looked up in shock. "Are you crazy?"Hayden's trembling voice was full of sincerity. "I'm not crazy. On the contrary, I've never been more certain of anything. I'm not giving up my assets to tie you down. It's to show my commitment to our marriage."Once we get married, I won't leave you for the rest of my life. But if you ever want to divorce me, you'll have all

I said the very thing I'd kept bottled up all these years. "From the very beginning of our marriage, Ivanna was always there. I've always been curious. If Ivanna was so great, why didn't you just marry her in the first place?"Theodore's lips trembled. "Because I loved you."Ivanna, who was standing off to the side, looked visibly hurt when she heard those words.I let out a cold laugh. "Love? How ridiculous. You say you love me, yet you kept getting involved with Ivanna. You say you love me, but then you teamed up with Scott to trick me into a divorce so you could marry Ivanna."Your love is awfully cheap, isn't it?"As I spoke, Hayden wrapped his arm around my shoulder and said in a low voice, "If I had known back then that you'd treat Janice this way, I would've tried to win her back no matter what. You're a pathetic excuse of a man, Theodore."All of them were rendered speechless.Hayden lifted my hand in front of them to show off the ring he had placed on it.When we retur
