Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 136

"It's fine," she sniffled, wiping the stubborn tear that had begin rolling down to her neck. "Forget I asked."

She turned to the door again, grabbing the knob.

"I looked forward to this moment, you know?" Kage spoke, freezing Sylvie at the door, though she didn't turn to look at him. "I had hoped it'd hurt, and it is just like I'd anticipated." Disbelief coursed through Sylvie. Her brows furrowed as she looked at him. She still stood there, looking like a statue.

She scoffed, finding it hard to believe. All this was just to hurt her?
