Olivia, in the same clothes as the previous day, adjusted her suit jacket and offered a gentle smile.
âYou two even raise a dog together.
It paints quite the picture of domestic bliss, wouldnât you say, Dylan?â
Dylan remained silent.
Olivia gazed quietly at her shoes for a while before lifting her eyes to speak.
âRemember the proposal you made the other day, Dylan? Well, I have an answer now.
Thereâs no need to prolong this for another two years.
Since youâve found someone, I genuinely wish you happiness.
After all these years of knowing each other, thereâs no need for us to end up like enemies, donât you think?â
Olivia paused momentarily.
She then continued with a smile, âMy lawyer is on his way, bringing the divorce papers.
Once you sign them, youâll be free.
â
It wasnât that Olivia wasnât saddened by the situation.
She still had feelings for Dylan, but she felt helpless.

What else could she possibly do?
Given Dylanâs willingness to entertain the notion, Olivia felt compelled to voice it.
Dylan hadnât broached the subject of divorce, so she saw it as a favor to him.
Olivia didnât want things to end ugly or that they would have resentment towards each other for the rest of their Lives.
âOlivia, do you really have to be so harsh?â Dylan complained unhappily.
âFor crying out loud, Iâve been away for a long time and thereâs nothing between me and her.
â
But Olivia wasnât interested in listening to this.
She had been calm all along, but now, she could no longer hold herself back.
âOh, so you know youâve been away for a long time, huh?â she retorted with a sneer.
âDo you have any idea how Iâve managed to spend the last two years on my own? Do you know how badly I missed you? Youâre my husband, yet you expect me to accept the fact that you now cohabit with another woman? As if thatâs not enough, your little girlfriend even asked for my blessing! Dylan, since you had made up your mind to leave me, why didnât you show up sooner? Why did you torture me for so long like this? Why did you keep me hanging?â
She had been waiting for him for days and
nights on end, expecting him to come back to her one day.
She never in a second doubted his love for her, but nowâ¦
As she spoke, Oliviaâs voice was choked with sobs, but she was soon able to calm herself down.
She felt it was important for her to look strong in front of Dylan, so she went on in a much calmer tone, âAfter signing the divorce papers, Iâll return your company back to you.
â
Dylan stared at her for a while, and then he said, âYou should keep the company.
â
Olivia broke into an amused smile when she heard this.
âNo, itâs better to be completely separated,â she stated in a firm tone.
âGood thing our marriage was a very simple one.
Thereâs nothing that needs to be divided between the two of us.
You donât even need to worry anything about child support.
Itâll be good for us to break up completely.
â
âBut Olivia, thatâs not what I want,â Dylan pleaded as he walked closer to her.
But Olivia didnât say another word.
She knew that Dylan would never understand how she felt right now.
