No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 140

"We've been apart for six years, and we've both been married," Ann continued, her voice breaking. "The wife you married is elegant and beautiful, a thousand, a million times better than me!"

"I've been married, my husband is dead, and I have a child. All I want now is to live a good life for my son. I don't have time for unrealistic girlish fantasies!"

"I have to earn money to raise my child, to send him to school. I have to support my mother, pay rent, pay utilities... I just don't have the energy or the cunning to scheme against anyone."

...

As she spoke, she began to cry.

"York, just tell your wife about Ethan's identity."

"Just pretend I never saved you. Pretend that everything I'm suffering today is what I deserve."

"If, one day, your grandfather dumps us on the streets of some foreign country or a deserted island, or if we die under mysterious circumstances, don't you worry about us. Our lives are already ruined. For us, death might be another form of release."

...

The suspicion in York's eyes finally faded.

He walked over to Ann, his voice softening without him realizing it. "I gave you my promise, and I will keep it. Just focus on taking care of Ethan. Call me if you need anything."

Without another word, York left.

Even after six years of inhuman suffering that had ruined her life, she was still the same honest, kind Ann he remembered.

He had been overthinking things.

In the following weeks, Ann kept a low profile. Determined to integrate into the world of the wealthy and get closer to York, she started live-streaming obsessively to gain followers, even maxing out her credit cards to get plastic surgery.

Far away in Caledon, Claudia threw herself completely into her work, blocking out all the toxic people and events from her life.

Before she knew it, it was early November.

On the first day of winter, York returned to the Ferguson Mansion for dinner with his family.

Old Mr. Ferguson informed him, "York, the contract between Ferguson Group and Grandeur Group has been finalized. I've authorized Lawyer Quinn to handle your divorce proceedings. You should speak with him about any details that need attention."
