Ex-husband’s Regret

He was slightly stunned. "You... knew about what happened at the company?"

"Yeah, I just found out today." I tried to shrug nonchalantly, but I found that I had no strength left. "So, you're not going to change your decision, right?"

How could he bear to let Jessica stand at the center of attention again?

As expected, his face turned slightly cold. "She's having a delicate pregnancy and can't handle stress. But rest assured, once she's better, I won't let you suffer any more grievance." His words made me completely disappointed.

I suppressed the sourness in my nose and looked at him disappointedly. "But what if I'm pregnant too? What if my situation is worse than hers?"

Every minute and every second I stood there, I could feel the dull ache in my lower abdomen and the dampness below.

But my husband told me his sweetheart couldn't handle stress, so I had to handle it.

Meaning, my life was expendable, and I should just endure it.

Ryan's body stiffened slightly, then he chuckled dryly.. "Are you also being as naive as her?"

"What?"

"Except during your safe periods, when did we ever not use protection? You couldn't possibly be pregnant,

Suddenly, a cold wind seemed to blow from nowhere, chilling me to the bone.

My heart was trembling, my voice hoarse. "Have you never thought that we might have a child together?

He frowned. "Are you saying you want a child...?

"Stop."

I suddenly couldn't control my emotions, cutting him off coldly. "You have time, don't you? Let's go and finalize the divorce this afternoon." Ryan's face instantly became indifferent. "I don't have time anymore."

"If not today, then tomorrow." I pursed my lips, speaking slowly and deliberately. "Tomorrow afternoon, wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau,Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"Then let's make it noon. If we have to part ways, we should at least have a farewell meal together." He lowered his gaze to look at me.

I was on the verge of bursting out in tears. I then shook my head. "For people who are parting ways, there's no need to leave behind too many memories."

With that, the elevator doors opened. I didn't even have the courage to look at him again as I turned and stepped into the elevator.

The next afternoon.

Jane saw me changing clothes to head out. "You're going out? Didn't the doctor say you need rest?"

"I'm going to get divorced."

The temperature dropped sharply. I put on a white cashmere coat, but my lips still lacked color. "If we get it over with early, I won't keep getting emotional. The doctor also said that being in a good mood is important."

Besides, we would be driving back and forth, so I wouldn't be exposed to the cold weather for too long.

It was no different from resting at home.

Jane was still worried. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No need."

I wanted to go alone.

It was pathetic to think that when we got our marriage certificate, Ryan wasn't even there. Everything was handled by Grandpa.

This time, going through the divorce proceedings, we could at least enter the Civil Affairs Bureau together. We missed the marriage part, but at least both of us would be here for the divorce part. When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ryan was already waiting at the entrance.

The weather was terrible today. It would rarely rain this heavily in autumn.

He walked over with an umbrella, took my arm, and gently reminded me, "Take it slow, don't step in the puddles."

"Okay."

The air was damp and cold. After getting out of the car, I couldn't help but shiver. I looked up at him. Let's go inside."

The ground was slippery, and he was afraid I might slip, so his big hand firmly held my shoulder.

Just like these three years of marriage.

A strange feeling arose in my heart. At that moment, we could still support each other as husband and wife, but once we stepped out that door, we would be strangers.

Just as we stepped through the entrance, a staff member approached with a smile.

"Here to get your marriage certificates? You two must love each other a lot, coming here on such a rainy day to get married."
