My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 52

“In about twenty days, we’ll be signing the divorce papers. I’ll tell your grandmother that it was my idea. I won’t let you take any blame. After the divorce, I’ll keep my mouth shut and won’t let anyone know I was ever married to you.”

The words tumbled out of her, one after another, her tone remaining calm throughout. She had thought she would lose control, yell at him, argue, maybe even cry.

But as she spoke, it felt as if she had seen through it all. Nothing mattered anymore.

“What are you talking about? Tell me, where…”

Beep… beep… beep…

Before Lionel could finish, the line went dead.

In their three years of marriage, he had always been the one to hang up. Today, for the first time, Hannah had hung up on him.

After ending the call, Hannah immediately blocked Lionel’s number.

Then, she blocked him on WhatsApp as well.

Staring at the blocked contact, Hannah felt a flicker of surprise.

She had thought she would hesitate, that she wouldn’t be able to go through with it, that she would feel a pang of regret. But there had been no hesitation at all. It was as swift and decisive as throwing trash into a bin.

It turned out that once love was gone, nothing hurt anymore.

In the Rosenberg Group office, Lionel tried calling again, only to find it wouldn’t go through. The automated message sounded strange. Just then, Owen came in with some documents. Lionel had him listen to the recording.

Owen’s mouth twitched. “Mr. Rosenberg,” he said hesitantly, “I think… you might have been blocked.”

“Blocked?”

Owen nodded.
