"Mr. James..." The security guard by his side couldn't help but interject. "Maybe another day?" James shot the guard a cold look, silencing him immediately.

James sat at the dining table, eating his dinner without a change in expression, not once looking at Sophie. Sophie placed the divorce agreement from her bag in front of James. "This is the divorce agreement drafted by my lawyer. Please sign it James paused, his hand holding the fork freezing in place. He looked up, his gaze cold, "Divorce?" Sophie's expression remained neutral, "Yes, a divorce." James stood up and stepped closer to Sophie, his voice stem, "Who gave you the permission to draft a divorce agreement?" "Since we both dislike each other, why are we forcing ourselves to stay together?" "Dislike?" James seemed infuriated, veins throbbing on his forehead, "Sophie, wasn't it you who followedaround every day, begging.to marry you?" Mentioning the past, Sophie felt incredibly foolish, replying, "You said it yourself, that was in the past. If you don't like me, why should waste my ton you?"
