At that moment I stood outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief. 

Jane had initially wanted to stay with me, but I asked her to leave first. 

Back then, I chose to start alone, and now, it was time to say goodbye on my own. 

I watched the traffic in front of me, seeing couples coming and going, either getting married or divorced. 

It was easy to judge. 

Smiling faces are getting married; expressionless or resentful faces are getting divorced. 

Broken relationships are always hard to handle gracefully. 

Fortunately, there was no such issue between Ryan and me. 

He had no feelings for me, and my eight years of love for him were a series of misunderstandings. 

But I didn’t expect that Ryan wouldn’t come alone. 

He got out of a shiny black Maybach, followed by Bethany. 

The man’s expression was as cold and indifferent as usual, as if he was oblivious to anything being amiss. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and said, “Let’s go in.” 

His tone was so casual, it felt more like he was heading out for a regular meal rather than to get a divorce certificate. 

He had perfected his usual indifference. 

“Okay.” I nodded quietly. 

When Bethany tried to follow, Ryan smirked, his smile not reaching his eyes, and his voice seemed to be a little cold. “What, afraid I’ll give you a fake divorce certificate?” 

“How can you think that about me! Even if I did, it would be because I wanted to marry you so much!” 

Bethany scolded him and chose to sit back in the car. “Alright then, I’ll wait in the car for you.” 

The process of getting the certificate was smoother than ever, 

Seeing the two fresh divorce certificates, I felt an immense sense of relief, both internally and externally. 

I felt like I was finally able to exhale deeply. 

I didn’t want to linger. I reached out and said quietly, “Hand me my copy.” 

Ryan opened one of the certificates, his thumb lightly sliding over my photo, his gaze deep, “Everything still going smoothly?” 

“Yes.” 

Since we were already divorced, why continue with this pretense of concern? I took the divorce certificate from him. “From now on, it will be even smoother.” 

ko pach word deliberately, as if making a declaration.

Ryan’s sharply defined features softened slightly, and he spoke slowly, as if giving advice, “That’s good. Take care of yourself.” 

“Ryan,” 

I still couldn’t let go. I stared into his swirling black eyes and asked directly, “The person who helped me eight years ago wasn’t you. Why did you hide that from me?” 

“Before you confessed to me, I thought the person you liked was him.” 

Ryan lowered his long lashes, his emotions unreadable, and gave a self–deprecating smile. His voice sounded gritty. 

“When I found out later… if I had been honest with you, you would have just been even more eager to leave me, wouldn’t you?” 

“Don’t talk like that, it makes you sound so sentimental!” 

I almost laughed at what I heard, glancing at the black Maybach outside the French window. “Early congratulations on your wedding!” 

With that, I took a step to leave. 

“This is all temporary.” 

But my arm was caught by a large hand. He spoke softly, “I won’t marry her. Trust me.” 

“That’s not important!” 

I didn’t turn around, shaking off his hand, only to see Bethany walking in. 

She trotted over to Ryan in her high heels and said in a delicate voice, “Ryan, you don’t really have feelings for her, do you? You know I can’t accept this… 

“Over three years, I didn’t even let her have a child.” Ryan interrupted with a sneer, his tone as cold as ice.” Do you think that’s possible?” 

Bethany was pleased with the answer, holding onto his arm and lightly shaking it. “Ms. Wilson hasn’t gone far. Aren’t you worried she might hear and be hurt by what you said?”

When I got into the taxi, I noticed that my palm had been cut by my own nails, with blood seeping out.
