Chapter 125 Liberated

Leaving the courthouse felt liberating. Before I could say goodbye to Adrian, Matthew

burst out. He rushed down the steps toward where I was standing.

Everyone instinctively shielded me in the middle.

He appeared sad and resentful. Some of his friends held him back. He stared at me with

sorrow.

“Hon…” He couldn’t say it.

My heart dropped as well.

give me

“Chlo, don’t go… Please, Chlo, give me a chance. I just want to talk to you for a few

minutes!” He tried to get away from the people holding him, and his eyes begged me.

“Chlo, give me another chance to talk to you! Even if these are our parting words, honey,

we still haven’t

said a lot. I’m begging you!”

*Don’t call me that. You’ve lost that privilege. Besides, I don’t believe there’s anything left

for us to discuss,

” I replied.

“No, Chlo, there’s something I need to say. Please, don’t hold me back! What’s going on?”

Matthew begged, looking at me and the surrounding crowd.

I asked them to release him. “Go ahead.”

He glanced at the group surrounding me, struggling with his words,

“Can we find a place to sit down and talk? Let me buy you a cup of coffee, at least!”

“There’s no need for that. You can tell me here.” I firmly rejected his suggestion. I couldn’t

forget the fresh

scars on my body.

He walked slowly toward me, clearly debating how to broach the subject. After a long

pause, he finally

said, “Chlo… can we not get a divorce?” 2

“What do you think?” I retorted.

“I–I feel like none of this is real. It’s like I’m in a nightmare! How did it come to this? I don’t

want to leave

you, honey!” His expression was pained.

He continued, “What about our daughter? I never wanted to leave you or our daughter.

Can’t we stay married? Think about Ava. Let’s sacrifice for her sake. We can’t let her grow

up without a complete family!”

1 looked at him in astonishment, thinking my ears might be deceiving me. The court had

already decided,

and he was telling me we shouldn’t separate?

Was he out of his mind? I truly felt nothing for this man anymore. All that remained was a

profound sense of disgust. In fact, I had been asking myself one question. Was I out of my

mind back then? What did I see

in him?

Aside from a smooth–talking mouth, he had nothing going for him. I couldn’t help it.

Laughter bubbled up

from within me.

“Matthew, it’s time to face reality! Weren’t you eagerly expecting this day?”

No, Chlo. I moved the funds with her, but it’s because I was afraid that you’d find out the

truth one day. I

was afraid you’d leave me. I thought, if you had nothing, you wouldn’t leave me!”

Matthew took a step

closer, urgently explaining.

What a shameless excuse. I felt like giving him this chance was a waste of time. It wasn’t

that I had lost

my mind. It was him. He must have knocked his head somewhere!

“That’s where you’re wrong. Matthew. Even if I had nothing, I’d still divorce you because

you’re vile. It took

me an entire decade to see through you. Your actions make me hate

e you!”

“Chloe, you’ve changed! You weren’t like this before. You weren’t so heartless. Is it that

man? Don’t

believe his empty words. After all, we have a child. Yes, I was foolish before, but what

happened later… I

had no choice!”

“Aren’t you about to have another child?” I raised my eyes to see Melanie sprinting down

the courthouse

steps toward us. “Don’t push your responsibilities onto anyone else! I’m too clear–headed

now. I’ve seen

how disgusting you genuinely are.

“You’re not my partner! You betrayed me the moment you made those promises. Divorce

was only a

matter of time. Take care of yourself!”

Matthew clutched my hand. “Chlo, why can’t you forgive me? What man doesn’t fool

around a bit? I truly

cared for you. I made a mistake. Why can’t you forgive me?”

I was beyond furious. “You beat me to reclaim what you thought was yours. How dare you

do such a thing and then justify it?

Matthew’s excuses left me speechless. It seemed like a beautiful dream had finally

shattered.

I brushed off his grip on my hand and looked at Melanie, who was getting closer. I gave a

mocking smile.

My nightmare is over, but yours is just getting started!”
