“You’re right. It’s all my fault. So let’s not waste time entangling ourselves any further. Come on, let’s get the divorce over with.”
“James!” Lily called after me, as if she wanted to say something more.
I shook my head at her.
There was no need to explain. Sophia had never loved me.
When Sophia and I stepped out of the City Hall, Ethan cheerfully rushed over to her.
“Sophia, you’re finally divorced! Now we can finally be together.”
To my surprise, Sophia didn’t respond. She stood frozen, staring at the divorce certificate in her hand.
Could she be regretting it?
The thought barely crossed my mind before I shook my head.
Impossible.
Getting divorced from me had always been her wish.
Lily spoke up. “Sophia, if you regret this, there’s still time to change your mind.”
Ethan glared at Lily with obvious irritation. “Why would Sophia regret it? She doesn’t love James. Only by marrying me will she find happiness.”
Lily scoffed. “And how exactly do you plan to make her happy? With your current lack of any accomplishments?”
Ethan’s confidence faltered as he glanced nervously at Sophia, fumbling for a defense.
“Happiness isn’t just about material things. I can give Sophia spiritual fulfillment.”
