Seeing me stand still for so long, Agnes sneered. "Don't try to use divorce as some reverse psychology trick. I've been over that for ages. If you don't want to be my husband, there are plenty of others who do!"
I looked coldly at the two of them standing side by side. "There are plenty of people who would, right? Isn't the one beside you just waiting for his turn?"
Agnes' face turned ugly, but Milan pulled her into his arms and said.
"I've indeed been waiting for her all this time. So what? She got to where she is today on her own. You're just a freeloader living off a woman. What right do you have to put on airs?
"I can't stand you doubting her! And I can't stand your petty, paranoid jealousy!"
She didn't refute Milan's "righteous defense" of her, tacitly agreeing with him.
It was she and Milan who secretly got a dubious marriage certificate, and it was she and Milan who were ambiguous, yet now I'm the one being accused of being paranoid.
Once a woman's heart changes, it truly leaves one cold.
At this point, no matter how much love I once had, I can no longer continue this marriage.
I went upstairs, packed my things, and placed them in a suitcase.
I took out the divorce agreement Agnes had hidden in the safe and signed it cleanly. "Since you already prepared it, it saves me the trouble of printing one."
As I handed her the pen, bitterness spread through my heart.
I had seen her love me with her whole heart, which made her current indifference all the more painful.
She grasped the pen with a grim expression, without saying a word.
I wouldn't delude myself into thinking her hesitation meant she still loved me.
Because I clearly knew that Agnes just couldn't handle the idea of the man who once pursued her relentlessly suddenly walking away.
You could call it possessiveness or pride, but it certainly wasn't love.
The moment she signed, I caught a flash of excitement in Milan's eyes that he couldn't suppress.
After signing, she flung the divorce papers at me with a haughty expression.
"If you want to make a fuss, I'll entertain it, but you should know, the divorce cooling-off period is only 30 days. If you wait past 30 days, don't expect me to wait for you."
Milan chimed in mockingly. "Tsk! A man in his 30s throwing a tantrum. I think you should just leave him alone and let him calm down."
He really had a knack for sowing discord between couples, not missing a beat.
