I refused Victor's conditions for a no-contest divorce.
As a professional divorce lawyer, he absolutely did not want to resort to legal proceedings for his own divorce. That would indicate his failure to negotiate, implying he couldn't handle it himself, which would damage his professional image.
I wasn't in a hurry anyway.
Well, it wasn't that I wasn't in a hurry, but I certainly wasn't as desperate as they were.
In Victor's eyes, Melody was pure and radiant. If she made any advances before they established a formal relationship, her virtuous image would be tarnished.
So she could only play hard to get, and when necessary, righteously transform into a messenger of goodness and morality.
As for Victor, he absolutely couldn't do anything to make himself the guilty party at this crucial moment in the divorce proceedings.
So both of them could only hold back their feelings.
