After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up novel Chapter 15

Book 2 -Chapter 5

"Eliza! Open the door!"

Louis's slightly hoarse voice sounded outside the door, startling me.

"Eliza! If you have the guts, say you want to break up to my face!

Open the door!"

I sighed, not rushing to open the door.

Instead, I first changed into comfortable, warm clothes.

Opening the door, Louis wasn't wearing a coat.

The cold of March in New York still carried a bone-chilling chill, but Louis seemed completely unaffected.

"Come in."

Stepping aside slightly, I calmly sat down on the sofa.

After years of marriage, I had been ground down by Louis into a temperament that was unmoved by favor or disgrace.

Louis didn't sit. Under the light, his tall shadow seemed to envelop me tightly.

"Eliza, who gave you the courage to divorce me?"

Louis stared at me intensely, his eyes full of anger.

Instead, I looked at him strangely, somewhat exasperated.

"It's not the first time I've brought up divorce with you, what's the point of saying these things?"

"Louis, you don't really think I love you to death, do you?"

Louis's face looked very unpleasant, as if I had hit a sore spot.

When we first got together, I did indeed like him.

As the golden boy of a wealthy family, his looks were really outstanding.

When he was pursuing me, that childlike innocence he put on was indeed very charming.

But he overlooked one thing.

No normal person would remain devoted to someone who abuses them.

"Louis, I'm already 30 years old this year."

Louis frowned, not understanding my meaning.

I stood up, walking out of his shadow.

New York is the Wood family's domain. No matter where I am, Louis can always find me.

So I didn't even try to hide my whereabouts, directly staying at the most high-end hotel in the city center.

Through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw the prosperous and alluring New York.

"At 30, I've gone from an orphan in a poor, remote area to a nominal wealthy wife."

"Although you and your family have given me a lot of grievances and abuse,"

"Although I've received many cold stares and much ridicule,"

"I have to admit, my life has already been quite extraordinary."

Turning around, I faced the lights and glamour outside the window, my smile bright, just like years ago.

"Louis, you can't trap me."
