Nathaniel’s entire body stiffened, taken aback by Cecilia’s unexpected move. 

Cecilia gently began, “People often say that married couples lose their spark seven years in. But our actual

She stood so close to Nathaniel that her breath brushed against his chest as she spoke. 

Nathaniel struggled to maintain his composure. “Stop 

He hadn’t even realized his voice had grown hoarse. 

Cecilia looked up at him and noticed that his earlobes were flushed. 

No matter how hard he tried to deny it, his physical reactions revealed the truth. 

“Do you really want to end our marriage?” she asked, her tone steady. 

Nathaniel hummed in response, taking a step back and raising his hand to distance himself from her. 

Cecilia feigned a stumble, and in an instant, Nathaniel caught her in his arms again. 

However, just as quickly, he let go and stepped back. 

Seeing his reaction only amused Cecilia further. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him

At that moment, Nathaniel felt more helpless than ever. “Listen. Divorce is the best option for both of us. 

Cecilia had no interest in hearing any excuses. She was now entirely convinced that Nathaniel was hiding something from her.

Once his vision was restored and there were no lingering health implications, he had intended to re Cecilia. 

Cecilia grew even more exasperated. “What on earth are you hiding from me? I’ve never held it against you for being unable to see, so why are you doing this to me?” 

Her genuine annoyance stemmed from her confusion over Nathaniel’s behavior. 

Once again, Nathaniel distanced himself from her. He turned and walked to a nearby table, handing her a few documents. “Take these projects.”

Nathaniel felt a deep sense of distress, but he knew he had to be ruthless. If I don’t divorce her now, she might not be able to later if I become a fool after the surgery. The Rainsworths wouldn’t allow her to divorce me or let her go. 

Moreover, he would become a burden to Cecilia for the rest of her life. I don’t want that to happen. 

“Fine. I suggest you focus on composing music and managing your own company. There’s nothing worth learning from Orion Corporation–it’s just filled with internal scheming and deceit.” 

Nathaniel knew she would have to leave Orion Corporation if any misfortune befell him. 

Seeing his current nonchalant demeanor filled her with frustration, making her body ache. “How can you just initiate a divorce like this? Who do you think I am?” 

Elliot, unable to sleep after his online search, stood quietly by the door, listening. Divorce? Sc*mbag Daddy wants a divorce? So it’s true that he’s in love with someone else! 

He felt foolish for ever believing that his good–for–nothing father had changed. I should have never trusted my instincts! What are we going to do now? Mommy must be hurting. 

Hearing footsteps approaching the doorway, Elliot quickly retreated to his room. Through the crack in the door, he watched as Cecilia stormed off in a huff.
