Allen stayed quiet, glancing toward Zane. “What do you think?”

Zane hesitated, then spoke calmly but firmly. “That’s not happening, Joanne. If you don’t want the divorce, then we won’t divorce.

“But stop causing trouble for them. If you keep pushing, I’ll have no choice but to end this.”

He paused, his tone tightening.

“You’ve been holding onto this resentment over Luna for years… but have you ever stopped to consider your own part in all this?

“We raised her together. If she turned out ungrateful, that’s on both of us. I’m to blame. But so are you. And so is Alden. You can’t dump all that anger on Kaia.”

Zane’s voice softened slightly.

“She’s pregnant now. For her sake–and yours–I’m keeping you two apart. If you lose your temper and pull something like Luna did, you’ll only end up hurting yourself.”

Higwords hit Allen harder than expected.

He was tired of Joanne’s constant battles, the endless drama she stirred up.

Across from them, Joanne sat frozen. Her lips trembled, tears sliding down her cheeks. “I’ve been part of the Graves family for years. Am I worth less than Kaia?”

Allen let out a long, exhausted sigh. “Why are you even comparing yourselves? You’ve been comparing since day one.

“And now look–our son’s living halfway across the world because he couldn’t take it anymore.”

Joanne’s expression shifted. Regret mixed with something else -a strange, fragile kind of relief.

Maybe… if the damage was already done, there was no point clinging to the wreckage. Staying would only mean dragging things out, making everyone miserable.

Wordlessly, Joanne reached for the divorce papers in front of her.

“Fine,” she said at last, voice cracking. “I’ll sign.”
