Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 290 The Divorce

Standing just outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Amelia stared blankly at the divorce certificate in her hand. To her, the piece of paper seemed somewhat dreadful, for some reason.

When Oscar reached out to stroke her hair, Amelia lifted her head and gazed at the man with her sad eyes. At that moment, it was clear to her that Oscar had officially become her ex-husband.

“What are you thinking about?” Troubled by Amelia’s sorrowful look, Oscar wanted to cradle her cheek, but she quickly evaded his hand.

“Oscar, now that we’re officially divorced, I wish you all the best in marrying Ms. Yard. However, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to attend your wedding,” stated Amelia before forcing a smile at Oscar.

“No matter what, you’ll always be my wife!” promised Oscar with sheer determination in his eyes.

In response to that, Amelia said nothing but smiled wryly. Since their marriage had already ended, she could only assume that Oscar was kidding.

“I’ve already asked Kurt to send my things over to Tiffany’s place. I’ll be staying with her tonight, and hopefully, I can get myself a new place tomorrow.” Amelia quickly changed the subject while avoiding Oscar’s deep gaze as if it was a black hole ready to suck her in.

Still, the man continued fixing his gaze on her. “I’ve already transferred the city apartment to your name, so you can move there anytime if you don’t feel like staying at the villa. I’m sure you’ll feel right at home.”

“Sure.” Amelia was slightly stunned but still refused to look at her ex-husband. The two lived together at the apartment for five years, so naturally, every inch of the place would remind her of Oscar. Although Amelia was unsure if she would ever have the chance to return there, it would always have a special place in her heart.

“Promise that you’ll call me if you ever need anything, okay?” Seemingly in a good mood, Oscar gave his ex-wife a half-smile.

When Amelia saw Oscar’s nonchalant demeanor, she could not help but wonder if the man was even slightly troubled by their divorce. Has he been looking forward to this day? We just lost our marriage, so why doesn’t he look sad at all?

As much as Amelia wanted to question Oscar, she knew well that it was pointless to do so.

“I have to go now. Tiff is probably waiting for me.”

“I can give you a ride,” offered Oscar casually with his hands in the pockets.

“You don’t have to do that. I can get there just fine on my own.” Amelia waved her hand and refused the offer, for deep down, she knew that it was best to avoid further contact with Oscar. If she allowed the man to care for her in any way, she feared that she would fall for him once again.

“I insist. Come on, get in the car.” Oscar showed no sign of backing down, however.
