Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 336

A hint of embarrassment flickered in Landon’s downcast eyes.

For a brief moment, an utterly shameless thought flashed through his mind—he almost wanted to go back on his word. He even considered using some underhanded trick just to keep her by his side.

As long as their marriage still technically existed, Zinnia was still his wife. That meant he still had a chance.

But the wall of resistance and frustration radiating from Zinnia made it impossible for him to even look her in the eye. He didn’t have the nerve.

After a long silence, he got up, picked up the divorce papers, and headed for the study. “I’ll go make some changes to the agreement,” he muttered quietly, not once glancing back.

Zinnia didn’t ask what he planned to change. She simply sat in the living room, waiting quietly.

It wasn’t long before Landon returned from the study with a freshly printed copy of the agreement in hand. “I made a few edits. Take a look. If you’re okay with it, then…”

He paused, clearly struggling to speak, but forced himself to finish, his jaw tight. “If you’re okay with it, just sign.”

His voice was hoarse, and there was a catch in his throat as he spoke the last words.

Zinnia had never cared about how much money Landon might give her. Whatever changes he made, it didn’t matter. Worst case, he’d refuse to give her a cent—though surely he wouldn’t stoop so low as to try and take money from her.

Landon had never treated her well emotionally, but he wasn’t so shameless that he’d try to claim her meager savings.

With that in mind, she didn’t even bother to read the revised terms. She simply picked up the pen and signed her name at the bottom.

“Nine o’clock tomorrow morning. I’ll meet you at the registrar’s office,” she said.

“Alright.”

Landon’s reply was rough and quiet. Zinnia opened the door and left Royal Bay without looking back.

Monday, nine a.m.

The registrar glanced at Landon.

Compared to Zinnia’s calm and almost relieved demeanor, Landon looked utterly spent—drawn, tired, and unmistakably lost.

Sensing the registrar’s gaze, Landon, though clearly unwilling, still nodded. “Yes.”

With a sigh, the registrar didn’t argue further.

From there, the process went smoothly. Landon didn’t say a word, but he quietly cooperated with Zinnia at every step.

“If there are no further issues, please sign here,” the registrar instructed.

Once they’d both signed, the registrar reminded them, “There’s a mandatory one-month cooling-off period. After that, you’ll need to return to collect your divorce certificates. If either of you changes your mind before the end of that month, you can apply to revoke the request.”
