My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 277

Why did he lie to Hannah like that? What was the point?

He was filled with regret. He wanted to apologize, but the door between them was more than just a physical barrier. It was a symbol of the chasm that had opened up between their hearts.

He tilted his head back, surprised to feel the sting of tears in his eyes.

The next morning, Lionel woke up early as usual and made breakfast, waiting for Hannah.

She came downstairs, ready for work. As she passed the dining room, she saw him sitting there and paused.

“From now on, I won’t be eating with you. Seeing you ruins my appetite, and I’m worried you’ll bring up your girlfriend and start another fight. Let’s just give each other a break.”

She got in her car and drove off. After about ten minutes, she spotted a small diner on the side of the road and pulled over.

She ordered a bowl of soup and a simple sandwich and sat on a small stool outside to wait.

She and Lionel used to love places like this. They had even promised each other that when they made enough money, they would travel and try all the best local food spots.

That dream was dead now, but it didn't matter. She could go alone.

The world was still beautiful, whether she had someone by her side or not.

After breakfast, she headed to the office.

Lionel sat at the table, staring at the breakfast he had so carefully prepared—all of Hannah’s favorite things, served on her favorite dishes. He had waited for over ten minutes, only to be met with those cold, final words.

His jaw tightened, a bitter taste filling his mouth.

“Sir,” Lily said softly, sensing his dark mood. “The madam is probably just still upset. You should eat something before you go to work. It’s not good for…”

Anna nodded enthusiastically. “It’s sweet but not too rich. I can see why people are lining up for them.”

“Wow, thanks!”

Hannah took the cupcake. Even though she had just eaten breakfast, it was small enough for a treat.

“Well? Is it as good as they say?” Samuel asked, his eyes wide with anticipation.

Hannah nodded. “It’s delicious. I didn’t know you were such a connoisseur of desserts.”

“Hey, I just love to eat! If you guys ever want a recommendation, just ask. I’ve tried pretty much everything, popular or not. I can give you a full breakdown!”

Samuel grinned, his eyes fixed on the cupcake wrapper Hannah had just tossed in the trash.
