Chapter 36:Its better for us to divorce (2/2)
Anya knew something was wrong when she felt the tense atmosphere.
”It's better if we divorce.” Aiden said suddenly.
Anya fell silent when she heard Aiden's words. Her eyes widened when she heard the words spoken from Aiden's mouth, while the man was still reluctant to look at her.
She didn't hear it wrong. Aiden wanted a divorce with her.
It had been a week since she met the man. It'd been one week since she hadn't heard anything from him. In that one week, her call was completely ignored. What's wrong with the man that he suddenly wanted to divorce her? Was that man willing to collect all the debt right now? What did she have to pay for it? She didn't have any money.
”I signed the divorce papers on the table. You don't have to pay your debts to me. Consider it paid off.” Aiden said as he got up from his seat. He turned and was about to leave Anya alone in the room.
Anya's hand immediately caught Aiden's hand, trying to stop him, ”What happened? What did I do wrong?” She asked frantically. She didn't know what was her fault that Aiden suddenly behaved like this to her.
Aiden stopped and turned to look at Anya, but not a single word came out of his mouth. He kept his silence. His eyes were cold when she stared at her, making Anya's heart ache a little.
”You said you were only going to be away for three days, but you didn't come home for up to a week. When we just met, you suddenly wanted to divorce me. What really happened?” Anya asked in a low voice. Frustration and worry could be heard in her voice.
She was worried, 'Why was Aiden suddenly acting like this?'
She was frustrated because she couldn't understand what was going on.
Aiden looked straight at her and said in a very cold voice, ”Don't you really love me? I'm giving you a chance to be free.”
Anya fell silent when she heard Aiden's words. Her hand that was holding Aiden's hand immediately let go, sending the man away from before her. She could only remain silent when she saw Aiden leave, could only stare at the man's back that was facing her.
Freedom…
Aiden gave her freedom…
After she was left alone in the room, Anya sat on the sofa and saw a document and a pen lying on the table. Her hand reached out to take the document and read its contents.
Aiden would divorce her and Anya wouldn't have to pay all of what she owed to him. The man would also provide some money for compensation for their failed marriage.
The document was a freedom ticket for Anya. But for some reason, Anya couldn't touch the pen that was lying on the table. Her hand wouldn't even go near the pen. She could only read the document in a daze, unable to understand why this had suddenly happened to her.
Did Aiden no longer need her? Was that why Aiden wanted to divorce her? Was it because Aiden's plan to take revenge on Natali was over that Anya was no longer useful to him?
