Zachary clutched the divorce certificate in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

For a fleeting moment, he was filled with the urge to tear it into shreds.

The staff member held the two marriage certificates, already stamped as void, and asked, "Do you need these? If not, we'll dispose of them."

"I do!" Zachary replied, taking them and shoving one into Lenora's hand.

Lenora was taken aback but didn't say anything. She simply placed the divorce papers into her bag. "Let's go," she said. "Alright."

On the way back, Lenora rolled down the car window. The cold wind brushed against her face, chilling her to the bone.

She stared at her own face in the side mirror, her expression blank.

Contrary to her expectations, her heart didn't feel at ease. Instead, it felt somewhat heavy.

A subtle bitterness and sorrow gradually crept into her heart.

It wasn't really painful, but her entire chest felt incredibly stifled and uncomfortable.

Lenora struggled to keep her eyes wide open, determined not to let Zachary see the redness that had crept

into them.

In truth, her reaction was no surprise.

From the age of sixteen to twenty-five, nearly a decade had passed. Even if one had raised a dog, a sudden separation would trigger feelings of reluctance, let alone when it involved a person. He was the man she had loved for a decade.

He was the gleaming ray of sunshine in the icy, dreary phase of her life, the destination she had tirelessly pursued.

He had already become a part of her life, his presence a routine she was accustomed to.

Thus, it was impossible for her to move on in such a short time.

Despite all the years together, she ultimately failed to warm his heart.

She had tried her hardest and pushed herself to the brink of exhaustion, yet she found herself incapable of loving him any longer.

So, she wanted to let him go.

Lenora suppressed the sting in her heart, striving to muster a faint smile.
