Out of Ashes Into His Heart

Perhaps it was a moment to mourn the 12 years of youth spent.

This one-sided love had finally come to an end.

"Grace, you'll regret this!" Gavin threw these words at me before turning and walking toward his car.

I watched the car drive away, finally feeling a sense of relief.

The divorce was finally happening.

And I didn't even have to go through the hassle of a lawsuit.

Although I wasn't afraid of the trouble, it was still mentally taxing. Now that he had agreed to the divorce, it was unlikely that anything would go wrong.

I could go and finalize the divorce tomorrow.

...

I immediately shared the good news with Dawn.

I had assumed she was busy with work and would call me after she got off, but to my surprise, barely a few seconds after I sent the message, she called me on a video call.

"Grace, is this for real? That bastard Gavin actually agreed to the divorce?"

I nodded eagerly. "Yes, he said it to my face just now."

She couldn't help but scoff. "Looks like the jerk finally figured it out. He's letting you make room for Mandy, huh?"

I was just too happy to care. "The important thing is the divorce, no matter the reason."

"True. Congrats on finally getting out of that hellhole!" Dawn said, genuinely happy for me.

But then, as she spoke, her tone shifted to something less serious. "From now on, you'll have your pick of six-pack abs and hot young guys. Your life is going to be amazing."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Stop being ridiculous."

"By the way, what time are you going to the courthouse tomorrow to finalize the divorce? Do you want me to go with you?"

"No thanks," I quickly replied. "It's not a big deal. I just need to sign some papers and get the certificate."

"Right."noveldrama

She nodded, evidently agreeing that since Gavin had already agreed to the divorce, the matter was as good as settled.

There was nothing left to worry about.

With that thought, Dawn adjusted her phone, grinning at me through the camera. "Grace, happy divorce."

For a moment, I felt a bit dazed.

It was as though these past two years had all been a long dream.

I smiled back at her and nodded firmly.

...

The following day, I woke up early.

I had planned to call Gavin to ask when we were going to the courthouse, but

then I worried about pushing him too hard-what if he changed his mind?

I waited all morning, but he still hadn't responded by noon. At this point, I had no choice but to call him.

The phone rang for a long time before anyone picked up.

I called again, and this time, the call finally went through.

"Hello, Gavin..."

Before I could finish, his hoarse voice came through the speaker. "You know I

have a low sperm count, and I can't have children, right?"
