When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 246

So, that was Ethan's so-called piece of "good news".

Josephine felt a little let down. Lowering her gaze, she said flatly, "I just want to divorce him, not get revenge. Once it's finalized, whether he does well or not has nothing to do with me."

Ethan's eyes flickered at her words.

He wasn't sure if her lack of desire for revenge meant she had completely fallen out of love with Zayn—or if she still had feelings for him and couldn't bring herself to hurt him.

But he didn't have the courage to ask.

If it was the latter, then the one who would end up suffering wouldn't be Zayn—it would be him.

"Anyway, your decision to divorce him is the right one," Ethan said. "It might be difficult at first, but you'll move on before you know it. Besides, you still have your friends, don't you?"

Josephine's face paled slightly. Her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

Friends? She had none.

She used to—back when she was a child. But at 16, after a heated argument with her stepmother and stepbrother, her father had sent her overseas.

From that moment on, she'd lost all contact with her friends back home.

Abroad, she didn't fit in with the locals, nor did she blend in with other expatriates from her country. She was completely alone—a lone wolf drifting through life.

That was why Zayn's betrayal had devastated her so deeply.

Back then, Yvan had been her entire world.

Later, when she married Zayn and fell in love with him, he became her whole world.

But trusting men… had only ever led to heartbreak.

Ethan noticed the color draining from her face. A sharp pang struck his heart, but he had no choice but to press on.

"A woman like you deserves someone better," he said. "Don't waste your time on someone who isn't worth it. Sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom before you can rise again."

Josephine finally smiled—but it was faint and weary.
