The car sped off, leaving Elizabeth and Alexander out of each other’s sight. Elizabeth finally pulled over. She stared at the road, feeling a mix of familiarity and bitterness. She’d noticed Alexander’s silence and hesitation more than once. And that just made her more determined.
Was Alexander unsure? Nah. Did he suddenly realize he loved her? Nope. He didn’t like her at all; he just didn’t want to lose someone who always loved him, so he kept her hanging with his mixed signals. Elizabeth always thought of herself as a hopeless romantic, never thinking straight. But right now, she was super grateful for her clarity. Otherwise, in court just now, she might’ve changed her mind because of Alexander’s hesitation and silence.
When Elizabeth got home, she locked herself in her room. The divorce papers were left on the coffee table in the living room. Declan saw the divorce papers he’d been waiting for as soon as he got off work. Declan and Celine both sighed with relief. Finally, it was over. Only Rose, looking at the quiet hallway, felt a growing sense of heartache.
Rose thought, “We’re happy, but what about Elizabeth? Is she happy? Elizabeth loved Alexander for so many years, and it ends just like that. How sad must she be?” Rose slowly went upstairs and stood at Elizabeth’s door, about to knock. Suddenly, her shoulder was tapped. Rose turned around; it was Declan. Declan shook his head, signaling Rose not to disturb Elizabeth.
Rose sighed, feeling really uncomfortable inside. But she still went downstairs with Declan, giving Elizabeth some space. Elizabeth needed peace. Elizabeth lay on the bed, idly scrolling through her phone, her gaze drifting to the coffee table. The coffee table was empty.

But her eyes were unfocused, and she wasn’t feeling well. Elizabeth couldn’t describe her feelings at the moment. She was happy, but also sad. Elizabeth covered her face with the blanket, gradually becoming more and more silent. It was late at night, and a light breeze blew outside the window. Elizabeth couldn’t sleep; she got up and went to the balcony. The wind outside the balcony was unsettling. Elizabeth quietly sat in the rocking chair, looking up at the sky. Such a quiet night made her reminisce about the past.
Elizabeth took out her phone. She opened X and saw the trending topics: Alexander And Elizabeth Split; Alexander And Elizabeth Divorce. Elizabeth was silent. The paparazzi had caught their divorce. Faced with such news, netizens expressed their regret. Photos of Elizabeth and Alexander were posted on Instagram by various netizens.
Netizen one: [I can’t remember which year it was, but I ran into them at the restaurant entrance. They really matched well. Elizabeth was following behind Alexander, so cute.]
Netizen two: [I also met them. It was this year. It seemed Mr. Tudor was sick, and Elizabeth took him to the hospital.]
