Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 262 " How many times do we have to go through this dance ? Does any of this even matter to you ? " I muttered , watching the crowd stream in and out of the courthouse . God , I had wasted so much time on her . " I don't care what you think ! This divorce is happening , no matter what ! " I was not in the mood to wait for that drama queen to show up on time , so I asked Baron to get me a lawyer whose specialty for the past 20 years had been winning divorce cases . Then I asked what steps I needed to take in a situation like this .

" It's troublesome , yes , " the lawyer said , " but she can't stop you for long . You can still file for divorce on your end : live separately , maintain a 30 - day observation period , and after that , your marriage is automatically annulled . " That sounded more like it . " Okay . Got it . " Hera's text pinged just as the call ended . Hera : [ I'm here . The black Land Rover , right across the street . Get in . ] I felt a surge of irritation . What now ? Across the street , a black four - wheel - drive had just pulled over . I had never seen her drive a car like this .

I got in and found Hera in the passenger seat , dressed to kill , while a stranger sat behind the wheel . Back then , I might have felt a flicker of jealousy . Now , I could not care less about a woman who no longer had anything to do with me . Hera broke the silence . " You're right , Sebastian . " " For what ? " " I was too close to Edmund - more than a platonic relationship should allow. He was my first love , yes , but he is not the man I would spend the rest of my life with . " She continued , softer this time , " What if I tell you I've kicked both Edmund and Bobby out of the house ?

Will you still come back ? " She did not sound entirely sincere , but her tone was unexpectedly cordial . Was this her opening move ? Fat chance . After everything , did she really think there was still time ? " Nope , " I said flatly . " Why ? " she demanded , sharp with frustration . " I've given them the boot ! I canceled the adoption ! We'll never see them again ! " Hera seemed bewildered . She had assumed that Edmund and his son were the source of all our problems . She had sacrificed so much , removed them from her life , and yet I still refused to come back .

Why couldn't she see that the life we had was no longer mine to reclaim ? " It has nothing to do with anyone else , Hera , " I said coldly . " I just want a divorce . " How could she still fail to recognize her own faults ? I didn't care anymore . Whoever married her would be taking on a massive burden . My words seemed to hit her . " You're cruel . Heartless ! " Her voice turned icy . " I won't grant a divorce . I've discovered the truth . You never had a sugar mommy . That was one of your schemes again . But I'm not that stupid . You want a divorce ? Give me 14 million . Then we'll talk .
