As I received the divorce papers, I felt refreshed and liberated.
In contrast, Dashiell looked scruffy, having lost that air of refined nobility he once possessed.
As we walked out of the civil affairs bureau, he blocked my path.
"Emily, I know I made a mistake. I've only just realized that you're the one I truly love."
"Before, it was purely because I thought you couldn't have children, and my mom kept talking about wanting a grandchild. In a moment of confusion, I got together with Melody. She tricked me. Emily, can you give me another chance to win you back?"
I shook my head firmly. "Impossible. You're no longer worthy of me. In the future, please don't stand in my way when we meet."
What right did Dashiell have to pursue me again?
When I loved him, he was busy scheming for my family fortune, treating me as a stand-in for pure love. He even wanted me to wholeheartedly take care of his child with the other woman. I'd have to be crazy to give him another chance.
