Chapter 294
The word “divorce” was like a dagger, plunging deep into Marguente’s heart, causing a pain she’d never felt before
Her eyes started to sting, and she looked up at Jocelyn through a blurry veil of tears, “Will I ever see him again?”
Jocelyn met her gaze, her own eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions that were hard to decipher
She shook her head, “There’s no need for a mutual agreement, the court has already decided.”
They had come to this inevitable crossroad.
Marguerite laughed bitterly, “Well, at least I’m spared the pain of a final goodbye”
Jocelyn didn’t understand what Marguerite meant, but her words stirred a sense of unease within her
“Marquente, do you know that Frederick decided yesterday to…” Declare his love for you.

She thought of Frederick’s tireless efforts to arrange the perfect setting and his anxious anticipation of Marguerite’s
response. It broke her heart.
Marguerite was pregnant with Maurice’s child, an irrevocable fact. And Marguerite’s decision to keep the baby
meant she was on the opposite side of Frederick
So, what good would it do to tell her about Frederick’s love to her?
She paused, her gaze shifting from regret to determination, “Never mind. Marguerite, it’s time for our paths to
diverge. I wish you the best”

She had a thousand things to say to Jocelyn, but she didn’t know where to start.
She wanted to say she loved Frederick. She wanted to apologize for carrying this child
She wanted to say she never meant to manipulate him, deceive him, or betray him.
But, she just couldn’t make the words come out
“Marguente?”

brought back
Jocelyn, however, shook her head, her expression colder than ever
“Keep it. Once a gift is given, it’s not taken back. Just like life, once something happens, all that remains is facing
the consequences.”
Marguerite felt a lump in her throat. She understood the meaning behind Jocelyn’s words
Carrying Maurice’s child meant she could never go back to Frederick.
Jocelyn cast a final glance at Marguente, before resolutely turning around and leaving
At the entrance, Jocelyn spoke briefly with the bodyguards, who promptly returned to Marguerite, urging her, “Ms.
Lockwood, it’s time to go”
The deep pain in her heart made Marguerite feel like a walking corpse as she followed the bodyguards back to the
