Chapter 382

The night was cool and tranquil Larissa retrieved a bottle of red wine from Kevan’s wine cabinet and

poured herself a full glass. Her two cats nestled beside her, contentedly purring with closed eyes. She

took a sip of wine and gently stroked the cats. If she were to share thi kind of life on the internet,

countless people would probably envy her, but bitterness and loneliness still lingered within her.

The doorbell rang. It was Dylan. As he entered, he noticed the bottle of red wine on the coffee table.

“Enjoying the wine alone?” he teased.

She smiled and asked. “Care to join me?”

“Sure,” he readily agreed. She got him a glass and poured half a glass of wine. They lightly clinked

glasses and finished the wine in one gulp.

“Let’s get to the point.” Larissa smiled faintly as she took a napkin and wiped away the traces of wine

from her lips.

“No rush. I came here to pick something up. I can still have a lew drinks with you.”

Dylan refiled their glasses, and she didn’t decline. It was rare to have someone to talk to, especially

when it made the room feel less bleak and desolate. After a few glasses, her consciousness began to

blur

“Wait here for a moment. I go to Kevan’s study and get something.” he said. He rose to his feet and

gradually disappeared from her sight. He returned shortly after and laid out a document in front of her..

“What–what is this?” She struggled to open her eyes as she attempted to decipher the contents of the

document. However, everything appeared blurry, and she was too dizzy to read the words clearly.

Dylan replied. “This is the divorce agreement prepared in advance by Kevan. I personally drafted it and

all the conditions are in your favor. Sign here if you trust me.”

He handed her a pen and pointed to a blank space on the paper, Larissa lacked the strength to ponder

why Dylan suddenly brought out the divorce agreement. The moment she heard the word “divorce,” her

initial reaction was that Kevan finally wanted to rid himsell of her and be with Ruby.

“I trust you!” she declared with slurred speech. “Il help them get what they want! She ignored the rising

feelings of disappointment and sadness within her and decisively signed her name on the document.

Dylan took back the pen, switly closed the document, and held it close to his chest. “I’ve gotten what I

need, so I’ll take my leave now. You should get some rest”

Larissa reclined on the couch and tell into a deep slumber, intoxicated by the alcohol. The next day,

she was awakened by her two cats. She experienced a splitting headache worse than staying up all

night. She pressed her temples firmly, and the memories of the previous night gradually became clear.

Dylan came, accompanied her for a drink, went to Kevan’s study to retrieve something, and it seemed

like he even made her sign…a divorce agreement?

She was shocked, but after she recalled what had happened, she could only muster a bitter smile.

Since she had already signed it, there was no point in regretting it- was only a matter of time. However,

she needed to find a new place to live and move out as soon as

possible.
