Chapter 12 Fuck This Marriage Jeremiah was silent for seconds .
Then , his tone softened slightly .
Were husband and wife .
Strictly speaking , Elsa is like a sister to me .
I only keep her by my side because you asked me to look after her .
Why must you be so petty about this ? If it bothers you that much , I can have her transferred to another position .
That should solve the problem , right ? He made it sound like I was being unreasonable when it was his restless desire to cheat at fault .
His words were like a cold dagger to my heart .
In my past life , Jeremiah had indeed transferred Elsa to a different position , but it was only after my parents had pressured him into it .
He resented them deeply for that and started showering Elsa with gifts and projects under the guise of making it up to her .
Then , they grew closer once more until they crossed the line .
The truth was that transferring her was pointless .
If they wanted to meet , theyd find countless reasons and opportunities to do so .
I looked at him and firmly declared , I dont need you to do that .
I just want a divorce ! After adjusting myself to sit comfortably , I ignored the displeasure on Jeremiahs face and continued , Im going back to work .
Thats what I want to do right now .
Marriage is too constraining .
Fuck it ! Jeremiahs eyes locked on me .
They burned with a rage that was about to erupt .
Why should I listen to you ? Why should we get a divorce just because you say so ? His expression screamed , What can you do about it if I refuse ? I almost snickered in amusement .
I scoffed and started threatening him , If you wont agree to the divorce , Ill just have to accept media interviews and reveal the truth about our failing marriage .
Ill tell the truth on camera .
I believe everyone can look up your scandals with Elsa , and they probably already know whats going on .
If you dont want this to become a scandal thatll humiliate you and affect Cornell Groups share price , youd better listen to me .
Lets end this in peace .
Jeremiah stared at me with his eyes wide in disbelief .
How bold youve gotten to threaten me ! I shrugged indifferently .
Call it whatever you want ! I had said everything that needed to be said .
As a businessman , he should know how to weigh the pros and cons .
Then , he uttered word by word , You want a divorce ? I refuse to let you have your way ! Youre not Chapter 12 Fuck This Marriage thinking clearly right now .
Take some time to calm down .
Now , get out of the car ! I rolled my eyes .
Fine , Id get out .
It wasnt like I cared to stay in his car anyway .
2/2 As soon as I stepped out , I saw Elsa standing nearby with a look of worry .
She hurried over once she saw me .
Jane , did you two fight again ? Actually- I didnt bother to hear her fake concern and coldly cut her off , This has nothing to do with you .
Ignoring her hurt expression , I walked straight into the restaurant .
I overheard their conversation behind me .
Jeremiah , Jane seems really upset .
You should comfort her .
Leave her be .
Shes just throwing a tantrum .
Shell come back once she calms down .
Get in the car .
Ill send you home .
I lowered my eyes to hide the cold glint in them .

Id never go back to him , not in this lifetime .
I returned to the restaurant and finished the meal with Eric .
He didnt dampen the mood by bringing up the two , and he didnt pry into my personal matters either .
Instead , we reminisced amusing moments from our days in college .
Aside from the earlier intèrruption , the meal ended on a relatively pleasant note .
