Chapter 97 Relief (Part One) (2/2)

Take care. Sherry.”
As she finished typing, the screen became blurry, and she realized that she was crying. She reached up to dash away her tears.
She leaned back in the chair, feeling weary.
After several minutes, she placed her hand on the mouse, and clicked three times. Each email had been sent to its recipient.
She exhaled, tired but relieved, as though she had just finished an enormous task.
Her gaze moved away from the screen and onto the framed picture on the desk. It was of her and Jeremy. He didn't like being photographed, and even in this shot, he looked solemn and unsmiling.
However, the Sherry in the photo was smiling widely. Sherry couldn't believe how different she had been. The woman in the photo was smiling with her mouth open, her head tilted, her eyes dancing with merriment. Next to her, Jeremy stood looking serious and impatient.
Sherry reached out and touched the tip of her finger to Jeremy's face. She whispered, ”Goodbye.”
Without the burden of marriage, Jeremy could return to his bachelor ways.
