Unrepairable Love
Chapter 425
The sharpness of his pen was like his personality, ready to rip through the paper. Lily saw both signatures and felt her heart shatter. Lily shook her head, grabbed Elara, and turned around. “Let’s bounce.”
The staff asked one last time, “You both sure about this divorce?” “Yep,” Elizabeth’s voice was soft but firm. Alexander furrowed his brows and answered in a deep voice, “From now on, you are no longer a married couple.” The whole office felt like it dropped a few degrees.
Elizabeth still remembered that day three years ago when the staff had smiled and said, “Congrats. You’re officially hitched.” Even though Alexander didn’t want to marry her back then, she remembered being happy during their vows. Elizabeth stared at the divorce papers on the table, her eyes a mix of emotions.
After a few seconds, Elizabeth reached out and slowly took her divorce papers. Holding a divorce certificate felt way different than holding a marriage one. Elizabeth didn’t dare open the divorce papers. She quickly shoved it in her bag and stood up. Elizabeth didn’t say another word to Alexander. They’d tortured each other for seven years. It ended just before the eighth year. Alexander should be thrilled. She really didn’t want to see Alexander happy about their divorce.
As Elizabeth was about to leave, Alexander’s voice came from behind, “Elizabeth, just like you wanted.” Elizabeth paused. She looked at Alexander, her eyes bitter. “It’s what you wanted, Mr. Tudor.”
Alexander clenched the divorce papers in his hand, feeling all sorts of things. He didn’t feel any joy, just a lot of displeasure. And Elizabeth calling him “Mr. Tudor” seemed to light a fire, making him inexplicably angry. Elizabeth forced a smile, holding back the bitterness. “Let’s not dwell on the past. Mr. Tudor, I really hope you and Ms. Russell are happy.”

Alexander felt a tug at his heart, an inexplicable pain. Elizabeth nodded. “That’s it, goodbye.” With that, Elizabeth quickly left. Alexander watched her go, feeling empty inside. He lowered his head and couldn’t help but laugh.
Alexander thought, Will Elizabeth really wish me and Esme well? In Elizabeth’s world, isn’t there no one more suitable for me than her?! Alexander looked at the divorce papers in his hand. He swallowed and slowly opened them. He felt helpless. His life was a real rollercoaster. At least, in high school, he never thought his marriage would be such a mess and that he’d have two marriages.
Alexander shook his head. As he left the courthouse, he heard Elizabeth talking on the phone while getting into her car, and her words stung him. Elizabeth said excitedly, “I finally got divorced and got my freedom back. It’s awesome!” Elizabeth’s car quickly drove away, carefree and free!
Alexander’s phone rang again. Nolan said anxiously, “Boss, our shipment at the harbor got messed with by Kyle. We need to get to the harbor now.”
