Chapter 109 It’s All In The

Past

Eric arrived at the courthouse reception area with his lawyer Cristian by his side.

“Pay attention,” Cristian instructed softly.

He glanced at Eric, who leaned indifferently on a nearby chair. Cristian opened a folder, revealing a stack of papers, and placed them before Hadley. “These documents were prepared specifically by Mr. Flynn. You never signed off on these before, so let’s take care of it now. Just sign wherever indicated–I’ll manage everything else.”

Was this about her alimony?

Hadley immediately shook her head in refusal. “I can’t accept any money.”

Her rejection wasn’t a display of stubborn pride.

When she had been desperate years ago, the Flynn family had generously opened their doors.

They had genuinely cared for her without expecting anything in return.

Marriage to Eric had always felt like her way of repaying their kindness.

Accepting money now felt like betraying that principle.

Frustration flared in Eric’s voice as he shouted, “Just take it if I’m offering!”

Anticipating another rejection, he quickly explained, his voice coldly detached, “Consider this purely from me to

my ex–wife. It has nothing to do with my family or my grandmother.”

Caught off guard, Hadley hesitated, unsure how to counter such insistence.

“Get her to sign, already,” Eric muttered irritably.

He reached for his cigarettes but remembered smoking was prohibited inside the courthouse.

“I’m stepping out to smoke,” he said abruptly, walking away to find the designated area.

“Hadley,” Cristian gently said, offering her a pen. “Please, just sign these. Without your signature, you might not finalize the divorce today.”

He had a point.

“Okay.” She agreed reluctantly, taking the pen and diligently signing each document presented.

“Here,” Cristian said, handing over an ink pad. “You’ll need to stamp your fingerprint as well.”

“Alright.”
