Silvia knew it all along. She knew he had always seen her as a complete mistake.It was her fault he couldn’t stay with Mariah, and it was her fault he was unhappy. Their marriage, their divorce, along with his parents’ divorce; everything was all her fault.Her heart had already gone through the pain of disappointment, so she didn’t respond to his accusations. Instead, she merely lowered her head and bit down on his hand, forcing him to let go of her out of pain.The deep teeth marks on his flesh were more than enough to represent the silent rage she held for him.Ryan froze in place, his mind filled with sheer disbelief that she would actually bite him. However, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of panic as he watched her walk further outside. She wasn’t even turning her head to check on him.He had always thought that she couldn’t possibly bear separating from her daughter, but she didn’t seem to back down from getting a divorce even after he told her he’d fight for custody.

Ryan seemed disgusted as he tugged on her shirt gently, chuckling. “Let me give you some advice while we’re at it. Not just any man out there can provide the life I gave you!”Silvia found his expression extremely distasteful. He was basically telling her she couldn’t survive in this world without him. He suggested that it was best to stop her ‘tantrum’ and to stay in her lane; to stay as Mrs. Pierce.His arrogance and false sense of superiority definitely stemmed from her obsession with him in the past. However, seeing and hearing all of this now just made her so furious that she began trembling; she even felt her vision blurring out for a second.‘Does he think I’m that useless?’‘I was a valedictorian back in university! I graduated with first honors as a Chinese Mandarin major! And I had been quite active in other school activities as the head of the art department within the student council!’‘If I hadn’t married him, I would’ve been a bright young white-collar woman by now!

Autumn blinked her big doe eyes, not thinking much as she said, “Mama said she’s not going home anymore. My classmate Jamie told us his parents don’t live together, and he said it’s because they’re divorced.”Silvia didn’t know if she should feel sad after hearing this from her daughter.The divorce rate had been increasing rapidly throughout the years, so much so that little children are used to the topic at this point. They might not understand the concept of divorce, but somehow, the word had already been added into the dictionary in their minds.Ryan, however, was narrowing his eyes. It was clear he was shocked by his daughter’s unexpected explanation as well, as she shouldn’t have had to learn something like this at such an early age.The two adults couldn’t bring themselves to say anything when faced with their naive daughter’s words. Before they could come up with an appropriate answer, the little girl spoke up once more. “I know you’ll ask me who I’d choose to stay with,

After her call with her parents, Silvia received a notification that five thousand dollars had been transferred into her bank account. It was from her mother. Right after that, she received a text.[Use this money for the divorce proceedings. It's best not to use Ryan’s money anymore, especially when you've already made your final decision.]Clutching to her phone as she stared at her mother's message, Silvia bit her lips as tears silently fell down her cheeks.Her parents’ enthusiasm regarding her divorce showed that they had long recognized the problems within her marriage. Yet, Silvia was still foolishly trying to stay with Ryan.When Rosaline returned, Silvia informed the former that she needed to go back to Ryan's place to pack some things. Being a good friend, Rosaline happily agreed to look after Autumn while Silvia was away.Before heading out, Silvia checked on her daughter, only to realize that Autumn’s cheeks were flushed and that her body was burning up quickly.

"You've been living together for five years. You even have a daughter together. So tell me, have you fallen in love with Silvia?"Hearing this made Ryan freeze up for a brief moment. He turned away, avoiding his mother's question. "Mom, we're talking about you and Dad…"He thought to himself, ‘Does it really matter if I love her or not? I never intended to end the relationship after we got married, anyway.’Ophelia continued to stare at her son for a few seconds, then sighed. "Ryan, I don't know why Silvia made the decision to file for a divorce. But I want to say…you should just let her go if you don't love her."Ryan didn't expect his mother to encourage his own divorce. Yet he could understand his mother's intentions, as she too was a victim of a loveless marriage. It was natural for her to stand by Silvia's decision.Ophelia continued as she smiled softly, "She's still young, so just let go of her. Let her find her own happiness. Don't hold her back…and don't hold yourself bac
