I threw away the things in my hands. I went to the gate of the orphanage and took out the cell phone that had just been repaired. I hesitated and called Sean.
He answered the phone and I said, “I’ll drop the case.”
He was silent for a while and then I heard Sean say, “OK.”
“But I have two conditions.”
“Say it.”
“First, you can’t do bad things to the orphanage and Universe design co. LTD.”
“OK.”
“Second, divorce me.”
I had figured out that even if I loved Sean, Sean only loved Molly.
Then I should not indulge in those unrealistic fantasies.
Sean didn’t love me at all. He loved Molly all the time.
I didn’t hesitate after I found out.
I thought Sean would say yes, but he was silent.
After a long time, he said, “I don’t accept the second condition.”
I was a little surprised. I said, “you have to agree to these two conditions. President Jessop needs to consider whether to save your lover or continue to revenge me and torture me.”
“Do you still think I’m torturing you?”
Sean’s voice was a little hoarse.
I was distracted for a while.
How could he have tortured me without this?
He was really nice to me before.
But now I was not confused. I lowered my eyes and replied, “you don’t love me but treat me well. When the person you love is in trouble, you threaten me and let me fall into the dream you set up, and then you tear it up with your own hands. This is torture.”
My heart ached when I spoke.
I would rather not wake up in this dream.
But the reality was too cruel.
He hung up when I thought he was going to say something.
Before I left, the old Dean said they might not have to move. He told us to wait.
Behind me were the children’s happy laughter. I turned to look at the happy ones, but I was in a trance.
Sean was waiting for me at home when I got home that night.
I looked at him a little displeased.”President Jessop, I’m afraid it’s not good for you to enter others’ houses casually.”
Sean got up and hugged me. He said softly, “don’t divorce. I don’t want to divorce you.”
His tone was so soft.
His arms were very strong, but he seemed to be afraid of hurting me, so he dared not hold me tightly.
I struggled.
I couldn’t break free and just stood up and said, “President Jessop, don’t embarrass yourself. Don’t you feel uncomfortable holding someone you don’t love and speaking to her in this tone?”
“June–”
“President Jessop, please call me by my full name. I can’t stand your kindness.”
I said coldly, trying not to embarrass myself in front of him.
Sean looked down at me and said, “June, I want to tell you seriously that as long as you let her go this time, you will be the only one in my world. This is the last time.”
It was tempting.
I opened my mouth and almost promised him. But I was awake now.
I raised my lips and sneered, “President Jessop, I think your dedication is really a little touching. It’s a pity I’m awake. You woke me up with a slap. My heart is hurting now. I can’t sleep even if you make up a dream for me.”
“June.”
“President Jessop, you knew Molly would retaliate. You know that she will make mistakes again and again. You are afraid that you can’t help her if she makes too many mistakes. You stay with me and be nice to me for today. You use my feelings for you to make me give up.”
I was calm and decided that I had figured it out.
“June, why do you have to be stubborn?”
Sean looked at me. His face was cold and beautiful.
I had loved him for more than ten years.
At the beginning, I happily married him, thinking that there would be a good result. I didn’t expect that I would get hurt.
“Yes, I am stubborn. If you don’t get divorced, I won’t drop the lawsuit. You can tear down the orphanage. I don’t care. Or President Jessop can find someone to assassinate me. You are very rich and have acting skills. You can certainly cover up the truth.”
When I finished, Sean was silent for a long time.
I saw hesitation and pain in his expression.
I urged him,” President Jessop, stop acting, OK? Is it so painful because you can’t torture me?”
Maybe my words finally irritated him.
Sean’s face suddenly cooled and said, “OK, we’ll divorce at 9 a. m. the day after tomorrow.”
The day after tomorrow was Monday.
My heart broke after he left. I don’t want to cry, only let the tears flow into my heart.
But the tears were salty and watered my heart hurt by Sean.
It hurt.
It hurt.
It was Monday.
I didn’t know how I spent this weekend.
But on Monday morning, I covered my dark circles with concealer and turned my cheeks red.
I arranged my hair and put on a dress that I was most satisfied with and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
I thought it was probably the last time I had met Sean.
When I got to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Sean was already at the door.
His face was very bad. He had dark circles around his eyes and some blue scum on his chin. He looked a bit sloppy.
This seemed to be the first time I had seen Sean like this.
Usually, he was so perfect.
I went over and Sean said, “Do we have to get divorced? Do you want to think about it again?”
His tone was a bit pleading, and I thought I had heard it wrong.
“Divorce. President Jessop should not involve himself in hatred. You should meet the new life earlier.”
I pretended to be relaxed.
Sean frowned at me.”June, don’t you have any nostalgia for me?”
“Nostalgia for what?”I looked into his eyes and said coldly, “should I be nostalgic for President Jessop to love two women at the same time or for President Jessop to use me?”
“When did I use you!”
“President Jessop, aren’t you ashamed to say that? Why do we divorce? It’s because you want to use my feelings for you to let me withdraw.”
“June-”
I saw pain in Sean’s eyes.
It was like he really didn’t want to be separated from me.
“President Jessop, let’s go.”
Stop acting.
Otherwise, I would take it seriously again.
I walked in front of him and didn’t hear his footsteps for a long time.
I looked back and saw Sean still standing at the door. His expression was the same as before.
At that time I hesitated.
But I thought about what happened before again and again to wake myself up.
Sean looked at me and walked up to me.
We were in. When the staff asked us how to distribute our property, I heard Sean say, “She can’t get the money.”
