Sophia was so overwhelmed by the divorce certificate that she could not breathe. However, she stood at the door and said to Michael, “Mr. Michael, the divorce procedures have been completed. You can rest assured that I will take good care of Carmen.”
When she said this, she did not dare to look at him and stood a few meters away. The unique smell of his made her suffocate.
Keeping his calm, Michael said with a smile, “Miss Sophia, I’ll leave Carmen in your hands from now on.”
However, if one were to look closely, they would be able to see the redness and tears in his eyes.
With that, she got into the car. The moment she closed the door, the last bit of her sanity fell away and she curled up into a ball, crying her heart out.
It turned out that she loved him more than she thought.
Even if she no longer had memories of him, she had loved him all this while. Now that she had lost him, her heart felt as if it had been torn into two by a pair of invisible hands; she was in deep pain as if her whole heart was being pulled out of her chest.
Why did she love him? Why did they have to go their own ways?
Michael watched Sophia’s car slowly leave. Wearing a mask, he stood on the side of the street with the divorce papers in his hand, only moving when her car was out of sight.
Meanwhile, Harry and Stanley had been standing behind Michael, waiting for him. They were afraid that he would do something stupid or undecent because of the divorce. Hence, they kept watch on him, but saw that Michael was very calm throughout the whole process. Standing on the side of the road holding the divorce certificate, he remained there in the cool breeze for a long while.
However, this unexpected silence stunned them even more.
Harry sighed and patted Michael on the shoulder. “You really got divorced, eh?”
Michael didn’t speak and instead took out the lighter from his pocket. Thinking he was about to have a smoke, Harry advised, “You should smoke less. Are you trying to destroy your voice?”
But to his surprise, Michael didn’t smoke. Instead, he used the lighter to light the divorce certificate on fire.
Michael looked at the lit divorce certificate. No one could see the expression on his face as he was wearing a mask, but Stanley saw his eyebrows twitch—he was smiling.
After burning the divorce certificate, Michael stepped into the car quickly, leaving Stanley and Harry behind staring at each other.
Damn; Michael has gone completely crazy after his divorce! He’s nuts!
In the car, Michael took off his mask and looked out the window. Massaging his temples, he cried and laughed at the same time. He laughed with tears flowing down for a while before sobbing hysterically, alternating between the two. Back and forth he went, and no one knew what he was thinking.
They had finally parted as destined.
He had finally repaid all that he owed her.
Everything was back to the starting point.
Michael once thought that they could begin again after she came back, since she had forgotten him.
But today, he suddenly understood that the starting point was the moment they received the damn divorce certificate!
Michael was relieved; the grievances between Quinton and the Fletcher Family were finally settled while Sophia had lost her memory, repaying Quinton with her life and her marriage.
From now on, he, Quinton, and Sophia didn’t owe each other anymore!
Divorce?
If they could get divorced, they could get married again!
Sophia loved him and she would always belong to him!
When Michael returned to his senses, he found that the car had stopped. Thinking he had arrived home, he got out of the car, only to realize that he was at an unfamiliar place. When he looked up, he saw a sign—Bayside Mental Hospital.
Seeing this, Michael was speechless.
With a dark expression, he sat back in the car and stopped crying or smiling. Stanley leaned over with a frightened expression and murmured, “Uncle Michael, why don’t you go in and take a look?”
Michael gave him a cold glare, making Stanley shrink back in shock.
If Michael was truly mentally ill, he could strangle Stanley to death right then and there without having to go to jail!
Michael then looked away and said to Gary who was driving, “Go to Asco International.”
When they reached the company, he saw Nicole there.
Nicole now held shares in Asco International and was also one of Imperial Entertainment’s executives. She brought new talents along with her and she had also cultivated a group of popular artists. When she saw Michael and Harry coming together, she was surprised. “Taylor, you haven’t left yet? How have things been recently…”
What’s going on?
Divorce?
