Jeanette took a deep breath and said with her ice-cold expression, “I meant… I want a divorce.”Jeanette’s cold and decisive voice seemed to have frozen everyone on the spot. Those words pierced through Damon’s heart mercilessly like a blade, causing his chest to be struck with excruciating pain as if something had just been smashed. His knuckles tightened, exerting so much force that even his joints turned slightly pale. The frown on his face got knitted tighter and tighter as his expressi
That was the first time Jeanette had lashed out so fiercely at Damon, seeming like she was a crazed woman filled with an intense amount of unhappiness. The pain she felt in her heart had been transformed into an intense amount of hatred swallowing her up whole. On top of that, Jeanette just could not forget the scene that she had witnessed the night before. The scene where Damon was on top of the secretary as the two of them kissed passionately was like a magical curse that kept on repeating
Jeanette’s eyes reddened until she finally squatted down and could no longer control her tears. Her body trembled for a moment, and she buried her head in between her knees. That was the first time she felt as if someone had cut an important piece away from her body. …On the other hand, back at the hospital’s ward where the sun’s rays were shining inside, the entire ward seemed like a gold-colored sea. The sun was still shining warmly outside, which was the complete opposite of how gloomy
“Mr. Godfrey…” The secretary carefully said, “Are you alright?”‘Is he angry? Is he mad that I’m being an eyesore for staying behind of my own accord?’For a moment, the secretary felt slightly uneasy. She rubbed her hands together and said, “I… I’m sorry, Mr. Godfrey. I’ll take my leave now…”After that, she hurriedly got up and was just about to leave when…With a muffled noise, Damon, who was standing by the entrance, fell over right in front of his secretary, who was panicking. Her eye
…Over the next few days, the secretary was drowning in shock and disbelief. Ever since Damon had returned to the ward in a disheartened state, it was as if he had had a change of heart, bringing her along with him wherever he went. She felt as if she had changed from being his personal secretary to his personal caretaker. She had been taking care of him the entire time Damon was admitted to the hospital. Of course, she gladly accepted the responsibility since it was something Damon had allow
The sun’s warm rays were shining inside the office, landing on Damon’s jet-black hair and making it shine beautifully. His eyebrows were slightly arched, his eyes that were so deep that they reflected the sea were filled with seriousness. At that moment, he was folding his arms and leaning against his chair as he faced his secretary, patiently waiting for her answer. During that time, there was a weird atmosphere in the room.On the other hand, the secretary was dumbfounded and felt afloat.
Actually, she had truly wanted to move into Damon’s house. After all, her heart had long but been filled with ecstasy when the man she had been in love with for so many years suddenly invited her. However, after that feeling had passed, she still needed to remain rational. Since the beginning, she had always kept those feelings of hers buried in her heart, which was an unchanging fact. Her loving Damon was her own problem, so she had never thought about gaining any benefits from those feelings
Damon was the only person left in his office, surrounded by silence. However, with that silent atmosphere, the heartache within him became more and more apparent. ‘This isn’t just my office, but her office in the past as well… There are also many things related to her here. ‘There’s the pink glass that’s built quite cutely. It’s the style she likes. There’s also a faint trace of her lipstick on it as well. I can still imagine her picking up the glass and drinking the water from within.’He then reached out his hand and caressed the faint lipstick stain on the glass. When the slightly cold sensation from the glass touched his fingertips, the heartache within him became even more intense. Damon heaved a sigh and was filled with sorrow. “You really are cruel, Jeanette.”…Meanwhile, Mimi was sitting by the bed in the hospital as she watched Zeke diligently and helplessly pursed his lips. “Mr. Russo, I told you I can handle it on my own. Why did you have to come all the way he
