Selma shook her head and grabbed Gloria’s hand. “Let’s go.”
The staff made a final inquiry. “Are both of you absolutely certain about proceeding with the divorce?”
“Yes.” Millie’s voice was notably soft yet unexpectedly resolute.
Winston frowned and hummed in reply.
Soon after, the staff presented the divorce certificate. “From now onwards, you two are no longer legally recognized as husband and wife.”
The statement seemed to cast a sudden hush over the entire office.
Millie still remembered the day three years ago when the staff announced with a smile, “Congratulations, you are officially married from now on.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Even though Winston didn’t want to marry her back then, she still remembered being happy when they made their vows.
She gazed at the divorce certificate lying on the table, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. After a brief pause, she picked it up.
Holding a divorce certificate and holding a marriage certificate were so different.
The divorce certificate felt like a heavy burden that marked the end of one chapter but also carried the potential for a fresh start.
On the other hand, the marriage certificate symbolized a promise and the beginning of a new journey with a new family.
She hurriedly kept the divorce certificate in her bag and got up without talking to him. She and Winston had been tormenting each other for seven years, and it finally came to an end in the eighth year.
He must be delighted. She truly didn’t want to witness his joy over divorcing her.
As Millie was about to leave, Winston’s voice suddenly broke the silence. “You finally got what you wanted, Millie.”
She paused and turned toward him, her eyes filled with sadness. “It’s you who got what you wanted, Mr. Greer.”
Holding the divorce certificate tightly in his hand, Winston felt a whirlwind of emotions. He wasn’t just unhappy but furious.
Moreover, the way Millie addressed him and spoke to him seemed to fuel an invisible flame, causing him to sink into despair and seethe with an unexplainable rage.
Millie forced a smile, trying to hide the bitterness in her heart. She said gently, “Let’s leave the past behind. Mr. Greer, I genuinely wish you and Ms. Lowell all the happiness in the world.”
Winston suddenly felt a strong, inexplicable pain in his heart.
“Alright, goodbye then.” Millie nodded before leaving.
Winston’s heart was gripped by a hollow feeling as he watched her leave. Her words echoed in his mind.
“Mr. Greer, I genuinely wish you and Ms. Lowell all the happiness in the world.”
Winston lowered his head and couldn’t help but chuckle. He questioned whether Millie would truly approve of his relationship with Joanna, as she always believed that she was the perfect match for him.
Winston gazed down at the divorce certificate, feeling an indescribable mix of emotions. His name was on it. He felt powerless, and his life seemed complicated.
He never imagined his marriage would end up like this. Having two marriages was something he never expected. Building a life together was much harder than he thought.
Winston brushed off his thoughts with a shake of his head. As he exited the courthouse, he overheard Millie chatting on the phone while getting into her car. Her words pained him.
“I’m finally divorced and free at last. I feel so good!”
While she was filled with joy, he was upset. Millie’s car sped away with a sense of freedom and liberation.
At this moment, Winston’s phone rang, and Eli urgently reported, “Mr. Greer, Kennedy has interfered with our cargo at the harbor. We must head to the harbor immediately.”
