Chapter: 96

Far from feeling like she had married a husband, in truth, she felt like she had found herself a father.

As stubborn and proud as she was, Debbie had never flattered anyone to gain favor, but lately she had been trying very hard to please her husband. As if that weren’t bad enough, he wasn’t making it any easier for her. Instead of having to see him only in the mornings and the evenings at the villa, she would now have to put up with him in her school.

Debbie just couldn’t catch a break with this man. It had to end today.

She would much rather lay her cards on the table and get it over with.

Carlos walked around the desk to the sofa across her and sat down.

“Divorce is not an option.” He made himself very clear.

“Why? I told you I don’t want your money. I don’t want anything from you. Why are you still refusing to sign the papers? What else do you want?” ‘What’s wrong with this guy?’ By then, she was so angry she wanted to rush over, choke him, kick him in the head, and throw him in

Arctic Ocean.

Giving him no tto respond, she went on, “I know I’ve spent a lot of your money in the past three years. Don’t worry. I’LL pay every penny back as soon as I find a job.”

Carlos sensed anger in her tone. When she finally finished speaking, he said, “I didn’t do right by you in the past three years. I neglected you. I won’t make the smistake again in the future.”

‘Eh? Did he just apologize to me?’ Debbie didn’t see that coming.

“There is no need for an apology. Anyway, you don’t Loveand I don’t love you either. A loveless marriage between two people is meaningless.

Furthermore, according to the law, married couples who stay apart for two years or more are automatically considered divorced. So if you still refuse to sign the divorce papers, I will have to sue you.”

Her last few sentences forced him to let out a chuckle. After all, this young lady was too naive.

*Sue me? No problem. I can help her find the best lawyer in the city.

But automatically divorced?’ Carlos felt obliged to correct her.

“Listen. First of all, to be automatically divorced, the couple must be separated for two entire consecutive years. One year, nine months and ten days ago, I went back to the villa and slept next to you, but you were too sound asleep to know it.”

Being the gentleman that he was, Carlos had kept the Lights off so she wouldn’t wake up and it was too dark to see anything anyway. Nothing had happened between the two of them that night. Besides, he had only stayed for two hours and then left for work again.

Debbie’s eyes nearly popped out at his reply. ‘Hell no! I didn’t even know a man was sleeping next to me?’

Carlos took out a cigarette, but since Debbie was present, he didn’t light it. Playing with the cigarette in his fingers, he continued,

“Secondly, the separation must be caused by the falling apart of the couples’ relationship. In our case, I was working overseas. It doesn’t fit the requirements, my dear. Besides, a divorce must be consented by both parties. There is no such thing as an automatic divorce.”

Debbie was so puzzled her face fell faster than a corpse in cement boots. In that instant, her mouth hung with lips slightly parted and her eyes were as wide as they could stretch. She started wondering if she should hire a lawyer to see if Carlos was trying to fool her.

“Thirdly.” He suddenly stood up and moved towards her. Leaning over her with his hands on the arms of the chair, he pressed his face close to hers. Debbie was forced to lean back.

‘Wh-What is he doing? Why is he so close? Is he trying to seduce me?’

Debbie thought nervously.
