Silence. Quietness.
After a moment, Zachary spoke in a deep, subdued tone. “I was too hasty; I’m sorry…”
Sorry? Hah
In their three years of marriage, all he had left her with was one word–sorry.

“It’s my fault, and I’ll make it up to you in any way you want. But this has nothing to do with Susanna. She doesn’t know about our marriage. There’s no need to target her,” he added.
Lenora forced a bitter smile.
This was Zachary, her husband.
Apologizing to her on one hand, and on the other, threatening her on behalf of Susanna.
Exhausted beyond measure, Lenora had no

She walked briskly out of the CEO’s office.

Her silhouette was slender, frail, and filled with melancholy.
Zachary watched Lenora’s retreating figure, narrowing his eyes slightly as his gaze darkened.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Zachary glanced at the screen and answered the call.
“Zack, have you seen what’s trending? I’m sorry, but if I had been more cautious, we wouldn’t have been caught,” Susanna’s voice came through the phone.
No response. Susanna prompted, “Zack?”
Zachary snapped back to reality. “It’s fine. I’ve handled it, and it won’t affect you.”
“Really? Thank you so much, Zack. You’re so good to me.”
After ending the call, Yelena couldn’t help but exclaim, “You played that move brilliantly. The only fear is if Lenora finds out about it and decides to drag you to hell with her. If news of their marriage comes out, what will you do?”
Susanna looked at the darkened phone screen, her confidence unwavering. “She won’t.”

A woman’s intuition was incredibly sharp.
Three years ago, she had faintly sensed Lenora’s affection for Zachary.

Lenora hid it well, but Susanna discovered it nonetheless. To safeguard Zachary’s reputation, Lenora wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
However, recently, whenever she was with Zachary, Susanna felt that he had changed. Het often seemed distracted in her presence. It was crucial to expedite their divorce to prevent troubles from arising.
Back in the office, Lenora retrieved the divorce agreement from the folder and placed it in front of herself. She stared at it for a while, eventually signing her name meticulously, one stroke at a time.
She had no place in Zachary’s heart, so why would she insist on staying by his side?
She might as well end the three–year marriage now.
From that point on, they were no longer husband and wife.
She called Milly over. “Take this document to Mr. Fuller’s office.”
Outside the CEO’s office, Milly ran into Miles. She said, “Miles, this is a document from Ms. Wilkin to Mr. Fuller. Could you please deliver it”
Miles took it and went in to report his work. After finishing, he handed over the folder. “Mr. Fuller, this is a document from Ms. Wilkin for
you.”
Zachary paused, taking it from him, and casually asked, “What document is this?”
Miles wasn’t sure. “Ms. Wilkin didn’t say. She just mentioned that you’ll understand once you see it.”
Zachary waved his hand, and Miles left the office.
Opening the folder, two big words caught his eye: Divorce Agreement
Zachary’s breath caught, and he swiftly flipped to the last page,
There, at the space for both parties‘ signatures, was Lenora’s full name, impeccably written.
Zachary couldn’t help but acknowledge what the company employees had said–Lenora’s signature was indeed exceptionally elegant.
Even on a divorce agreement.

Staring at that name for a while, Zachary finally closed the folder. Still seated, he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
In no time, Lenora received a call from the Fuller residence.
“Nora, it’s me.”
“Grandma, what’s the matter?” Lenora tried her best to sound normal.
“It’s been a while, and I miss you. Remember to come home for lunch today. I’ll make your favorite pork chop.”
“Okay, Grandma, I got it.” Lenora understood that the two elders must have heard about the news and wanted them to come over and clarify
“Don’t forget to bring Zack. Don’t let him use work as an excuse. If he dares not to come, I’ll personally give his leg a good whack.”
“Absolutely. Don’t worry, Grandma.”
Allison had to have called Zachary too. When it was time to finish work, Zachary’s message came through: Are you done? Come to the garage once you’re free.
Lenora replied: Right away.
Lenora arrived at the garage, located Zachary’s vehicle, and slid into the back seat after opening the rear door.
The driver started the car.
Halfway, Zachary glanced at Lenora and calmly said, “This time, Grandma calling us back is probably about the news. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll take the opportunity to bring up the topic of divorce with them.”
A pang struck Lenora’s heart, and she nodded gently, silently watching the fleeting street scenes outside the car window.
He seemed so eager. He had to have been waiting for this day for a long time.
