Chapter 263
263 Adam was caught off guard by Celines question .
Did he like her ? There had been moments when he had glimpsed his unusual feelings for her .
He had felt reluctant to let her go .
He had been drawn to her .
He had wanted to possess her .
Yes , there had been a sliver of liking for her , but that sliver was insignificant in the face of Carly .
Now that they were getting a divorce , he decided to cut clean the relationship properly .
He had to be ruthless and indifferent , He said , Celine , love Carly .
He said he loved Carly .
The light in Celines eyes slowly dimmed .
She shouldnt have asked .
That question had only humiliated her , leaving her utterly defeated .
She accepted her loss with grace .
Then lets get divorced .
Adem paused briefly and said , Go get your ID cand .
Her lips curled faintly as she patted her bag .
I brought it with me , Before leaving her room , she had taken her ID card along with her .
She knew his Intention when she saw his call .
He glanced at her , then started the car and drove toward the city hall .
Half an hour later , Adam and Celine were sitting inside the court .
The staff processing their divorce tried to persuade them .
A great marriage is not when the perfect couple comes together .
It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences .
Do you need some more time to think it over ? Adams face remained emotionless as he replied , Weve made our decision .
Alright then , said the staff .
Please sign here to finalize your divorce .
Celine didnt move .
She watched as Adam picked up the pen and , with swift strokes , signed his name .
His signature was bold and forceful , without a trace of hesitation .
Then , he put down the pen down .
Her pale eyes suddenly reddened .
She quietly picked up the pen and signed her own name .
The staff checked Celines data on the computer and asked , Young lady , is it just you listed here ? She had no family members .
It had always been just her.
She had always been alone , without a family , She nodded .
Yes , she replied .
The staff stamped the documents and handed the divorce certificates to Adam and Celine before announcing , The two of this moment on , you two are no longer husband and wife .
Celine took her certificate and said , Thank you .
As they walked out of the city hall , Adamn asked , Are you going back to Yorhine University ? I can give you a ride .
She declined .
No thanks , Mr.
Ill go back on my own .
You should return to the hospital and stay with Carly .
you are now divorced .
From With that , she turned and walked away , wandering the streets alone .
She didnt know how long she had been walking or how far she had gone .
Her eyes were hot and damp , burning with unshed tears , and soon , heavy droplets spilled uncontrollably down her face .
The moment she turned away , tears had already filled her eyes .
She had always been alone , without family until he appeared .
In that cave , he had said he would take her away .
He had said he wanted her , and she believed him .
In the years he doted on Carly , she had grown up alone .
She had traveled far , only to come back to him .
Growing up without a family , she had hoped to tele his name and build a home with him .
During his three years as a vegetative patient , she had held on to the purest hopes of a young girl , fulfilling the role of his wife .
She thought that as long as she worked hard , it would be enough .
But in the end , that home still fell apart .
