Chapter 265

Wendy asked if Stanley had ever had feelings for her.

The question left him momentarily stunned.

Of course, he had.

He had once caught himself thinking about Wendy in a romantic sense.

He felt reluctant to let go of her–he felt drawn to her, wanting to claim her.

He had feelings for Wendy, but in the grand scheme of things, that feeling meant nothing compared to how he felt for Jessica.

Now, with the divorce looming, he intended to cut all ties, to sever them completely without hesitation.

He spoke the words that seemed to crush the air between them:

“Wendy, I love Jessica.”

He said he loved Jessica.

The light in Wendy’s eyes slowly dimmed, the question she had asked now feeling like a painful mistake. She had set herself up for humiliation–complete and utter humiliation.

Still, she wasn’t a sore loser.

“Then let’s get a divorce.”

Stanley paused. “Go get your marriage certificate.”

Wendy forced a thin smile and reached into her bag. “I already brought it with me.”

When she left earlier, she had grabbed her copy of the marriage certificate from her closet, knowing full well what Stanley’s intentions were when he called.

Stanley glanced at her before starting the car and driving toward the clerk’s office.

Half an hour later, they were sitting in the clerk’s office.

The staff member gently suggested, “Are you sure about this? Meeting someone and getting married isn’t something you come by often. I think you should reconsider.”

Stanley’s face remained impassive. “No need to reconsider.”

“Alright,” the clerk said, clearly reluctant but understanding. “Please sign the divorce papers.”

Wendy stayed seated, her eyes on Stanley as he picked up the pen and signed his name with bold, decisive strokes.

His signature was firm, without a trace of hesitation or lingering feelings.

After that, he put the pen down.

Wendy’s pale eyes filled with tears. She silently took the pen, her hands trembling as she signed her name.

The clerk glanced at her documents, and asked gently, “Dear, you don’t have any family?”

Her documents had only her name on them, with no family member listed. Wendy had always been alone, without

a family.

And so, she nodded. “Yeah.”

The clerk stamped the papers with a seal and handed both Stanley and Wendy their divorce certificates. “The paperwork is complete. You’re divorced now.”

Wendy took the certificate in silence, her voice barely above a whisper. “Thank you.”

As they left the office, Stanley asked, “Do you want me to take you back to campus?”

Wendy shook her head. “No, thanks. I’ll go back on my own. You should go to the hospital and be with Jessica.”
