Chapter 1

"Hello, I want a divorce."In the third year of her marriage, Roxanne Levine decided to file for divorce. But she did so without telling her husband.Across the desk, the lawyer, Nathaniel Shepherd, responded in a formulaic tone after hearing her intent."If you wish to proceed with a divorce, both parties need to sign the divorce agreement. After that, there will be a one-month cooling-off period before the divorce is finalized. Did your husband not come with you today?"Roxanne paused for a few seconds. "I'll make sure he signs it.""Very well. I'll draft a divorce agreement for you."After a short wait, Roxanne received the document. She lowered her head and walked down the stairs, her thoughts drifting to everything that had happened recently.Just as she reached the front desk, a familiar voice called out to her."Roxy? What are you doing at the law firm?"She looked up. The moment her eyes met Andre Spencer's deep gaze—eyes that seemed to pierce right through her—her hea

It was late into the night, but Roxanne remained wide awake.She buried her face in the pillow, her mind tangled with thoughts. Suddenly, an unruly hand slipped around her waist. Feeling the warm breath against her back, she instinctively shifted away, dodging the kiss that was about to land on her.Her resistance caught Andre by surprise. After all, in the three years since their marriage, it had always been Roxanne who eagerly sought his embrace.This rare moment of his own desire being met with rejection made it impossible for him not to ask, "Are you in a bad mood?""I'm on my period," Roxanne replied, making up an excuse on the spot.Andre did not think much of it. He responded with a quiet hum and gently tucked the blanket around her. As was his habit before bed, he mentally reviewed the day's events. Suddenly, he recalled the property transfer agreement from earlier and asked about it."Where's the property transfer agreement? Let me check if there are any loopholes."Rox

One afternoon, Roxanne's computer suddenly froze. In order to quickly finish organizing her files, she borrowed Andre's laptop.While she was waiting for the documents to transfer, a new message notification suddenly popped up. She clicked it without thinking and saw that it was a message from the law firm."Andre, we're having a company dinner tonight. Are you bringing your girlfriend?"Seeing that message, Roxanne's hand trembled slightly.In the three years they had been married, Andre had never made their relationship public. In the eyes of others, he had always appeared to be single. That was also why, when she went to his law firm for legal consultation, not a single person had recognized her.Would he say yes this time?Roxanne did not know. She did not dare to hope.Andre, seated beside her, glanced up at her the moment he saw the message as if trying to gauge her expression.Noticing his gaze, Roxanne gave a faint smile. "Are you going to take me to the dinner?"What

The night wind blew through the car window, sending strands of hair flying in every direction.Throughout the entire ride, Roxanne's mind replayed the image of Caitlin standing beside Andre again and again.Perhaps she had been hurt too many times because, at this point, she no longer felt pain. All that remained was an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.Why did the 30-day cooling-off period feel this long?She rubbed her stinging eyes. In a moment of carelessness, she failed to notice the car ahead reversing illegally and crashed straight into it. A loud bang echoed through the air. Her leg became trapped beneath the twisted frame of the car door, and blood flowed freely down her skin. In an instant, all color drained from her face, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.Despite the stabbing pain, she stayed rational and called for emergency services.After she was rushed into the emergency room, the doctor conducted a full examination. The injury was not life-threatening, but

Roxanne never expected Andre to return.Fortunately, Erica happened to come in at that moment. Roxanne quickly forced down her panic and raised her hand to point."Erica. She's the one getting a divorce."Erica glanced at the two of them and immediately caught on, nodding with quick understanding. "Uh... Yes, I'm the one planning to get divorced. The process is already underway."Andre was not particularly close with Roxanne, so he naturally had little interaction with her friends.Although he had met Erica once or twice, he knew nothing about her personal circumstances. Upon hearing this, he frowned. "If you wanted to divorce, why didn't you come to me first?"Erica could not keep up the lie. Her words stumbled from her mouth, unsure and fragmented.Seeing this, Roxanne quickly stepped in to take over the conversation. "You were busy handling Caitlin's divorce case at the time. I was afraid you'd be overwhelmed, so I didn't want to disturb you."The moment she mentioned Caitli

After returning home, Roxanne initially planned to speed up the moving process. However, her leg injury had not fully healed, and her movement was still limited, so she hired a moving company to come and assist on-site.Cardboard boxes of all sizes filled the living room. Several workers bustled around, packing and lifting items, moving in and out of the house with the door wide open.When Andre returned and saw the chaotic scene, he immediately asked what was going on. Roxanne calmly delivered the explanation she had prepared in advance."The Northwich apartment has been fully renovated. It's closer to where you work, so I thought we'd move there. It'll be more convenient."Thinking of the property transfer agreement he signed last time, Andre nodded.After changing his shoes, he walked over to the couch and sat down. As he mentally recalled the layout of the new apartment, he made small talk with Roxanne."I remember you like gardening. When the time comes, why not leave the ea

Upon hearing that Roxanne was going through something similar, Caitlin immediately felt a surge of sympathy and could not help but offer some comfort."I went through almost the same thing, but it's alright. Once the divorce is finalized, everything will get better. Andre will definitely help you through this."Yes, he truly had helped her with the most difficult part—the signature.Roxanne nodded and picked up where she left off. "I heard he personally handled your case. He must've put in a great deal of effort."A shy smile appeared on Caitlin's face, and her tone lightened. "Yes, Andre really helped a lot. He gathered evidence so I could sue my ex-husband while also staying by my side to protect me. If he hadn't stepped in, I might've died because of that lunatic long ago."Watching Caitlin speak so sweetly as she reminisced about such traumatic memories, Roxanne stood still for a moment. Then, she suddenly blurted out a rather inappropriate question, "Do you like Andre?"The

Chapter 8

Throughout the entire ride, Roxanne remained silent. She did not say a single word.Andre could sense that her mood had been low lately, but he could not figure out why. Unable to ask directly, he went over everything that had happened recently in his mind.In the end, he came to the conclusion that he had been too preoccupied with Caitlin's case and had unintentionally neglected Roxanne. That had to be why she appeared so listless.A twinge of guilt surfaced in his heart. For once, he took the initiative and made a suggestion."Our third wedding anniversary is coming up. Let me take you on a trip to relax."With only a few days left until the cooling-off period ended, Roxanne did not want to complicate anything further. She declined, using her injury as an excuse.Andre thought about it and realized that a trip might indeed be inappropriate, so he began suggesting alternative ways to celebrate.One by one, he listed different ideas for her to choose from, but Roxanne found an e

At that moment, Roxanne was finally certain. He was not working overtime—he had gone to take care of the sick Caitlin.Roxanne gave a quiet smile. Was he truly not even willing to spare half an hour for her?"Andre, if you knew those few hours would be our last together, would you regret standing me up again?"No one answered her question, yet she no longer cared what the answer might be.She glanced at the photo once more before exiting the app and opening her chat box with Nathaniel."Mr. Shepherd, today's the last day of the divorce cooling-off period. Do I still need to wait a few more days?"Nathaniel responded quickly."There's no need. Today marks the final day of your divorce cooling-off period. Congratulations on your new beginning."It was a new beginning, indeed.From today onward, from the moment she stopped loving Andre, from the moment she no longer needed Andre… She would begin a life more radiant and brilliant than ever before. With that thought, everything bec

Chapter 10

"Both of us signed the divorce agreement a month ago. So starting today, we're both free. I'm leaving, so don't come looking for me. I wish you and Caitlin a happy ending, and I hope my own life ahead will be bold and unrestrained," Roxanne said.Every word struck like thunder, crashing in Andre's ears. He could not believe what he was hearing. His pupils widened to the extreme, and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.What did she mean both of them signed the divorce agreement? They were already divorced? When had he signed anything?The camera in his hand slipped with a loud crash, knocking over the papers on the table, which landed against his leg. The bold title of the document, 'Divorce Agreement', burned into his vision.He snatched it up instantly and flipped to the final page. There, clear as day, was Roxanne's signature. Just a few inches to the left, in the section for the other party's signature, was another name.It was a signature he knew better than anyone becau
