All Chapters of Seek for Her: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

After realizing that Roxanne had unintentionally discovered that photo album, Andre could not sleep for the entire night. His mind played through everything that had happened over the years, again and again.If, during the first decade of his youth, he had been chasing after Caitlin, then in the three years following her marriage, he had been trying to let her go.From the moment she became someone else's wife, he had decided to see her only as a younger sister from then on. As for Roxanne, who had always been chasing after him, Andre initially saw her only as a friend.Perhaps it was because they both carried the pain of unrequited love that he had always felt a lingering guilt toward her. That guilt lingered for many years until three years ago, when they met again. The moment he saw her, he knew she had not let go of him.Hence, when his parents pressured him to get married, he spent a long time going back and forth, stuck on a single question. Should he obey his parents and mar

On the seventh day after Roxanne's departure, Andre had nearly reached his breaking point. With nothing behind him but a bottomless abyss and nowhere left to retreat, he finally became clear-headed.Although the divorce cooling-off period had ended, the legal process was not yet complete.Roxanne should come back to file the divorce at the courthouse with him together.Once he understood that, Andre—who had been in a state of despair for days—pulled himself together again. He applied to end his leave and returned to the law firm. The first thing he did was seek out Nathaniel.Over the past few days, Nathaniel had relayed countless messages on his behalf. Now, seeing Andre looking even more gaunt and hollow, he could not help but feel a bit sorry for him.He had just opened his mouth to offer a few words of comfort when Andre spoke first, his tone calm and composed."Mr. Shepherd, please tell her that I agree to the divorce. Ask her to come back and file the divorce at the courtho

Just as they reached a traffic light, Andre brought the car to a stop and turned toward Roxanne, his gaze heavy and unreadable."I'm not unhappy with anything. If you're set on divorcing me, I'm willing to leave with nothing. I never intended to threaten you. I just have too many unanswered questions. I'm just unwilling to end it like this." The word 'unwilling' caught Roxanne off guard, and a flicker of surprise crossed her face."What exactly are you unwilling about? That we got divorced without you knowing? Or that I beat you to asking for divorce?""Neither, Roxy."Seeing the confusion on her face, Andre gave a bitter laugh. His low voice carried an emotion too tangled to name—part regret, part helplessness."I'm unwilling to be misunderstood by you. I'm unsatisfied that you wouldn't even give me a chance. I'm unwilling to draw a final line between us like this."This time, it was Roxanne who fell silent. She did not quite understand what he meant by all this.Was he not t

It took Roxanne only ten minutes to gather all the necessary documents. She cross-checked them carefully against the information she had collected.Once she had confirmed everything was in order, she walked out holding the folder and squinted slightly when she saw Andre collapsed by the doorway.What performance was this supposed to be now? Was he planning to fake an illness now, just to delay the divorce?As she walked up to him, her guard immediately went up. Her tone carried clear suspicion. "Not feeling well?"It was not a question of concern—it was an accusation.Andre could easily tell the difference. He shook his head, pushed himself upright with one hand against the doorframe, and forced a faint smile. "I'm fine. Let us go."Only when she saw him open the door did Roxanne lower her guard slightly and follow behind him.On the way back to the courthouse, neither of them said another word.Roxanne kept checking her watch, mentally calculating the time. The moment they got
