Chapter 755 A Divorce
Hannah nodded. The earlier she made up her mind, the sooner she could set herself free. After all, she had never dreamed about the title of the First Lady of Northfield. Being at the top of the hierarchy had never been her dream. All she wanted was nothing but revenge, after which she would dedicate herself to her family business. She asked for nothing more than that.
"What about the baby?" asked Hannah composedly.
Now the baby was the only connection between them. As soon as she finished, Oscar seemed to shiver. At this moment, she found it hard to tell what was exactly on his mind. She didn't know if he still wanted the baby or not. The air fell into deadly silence.
Oscar then continued, "Hannah, it's just a nominal divorce."
A nominal divorce?
Frowning, Hannah found it confusing.
"We will still live together just like a common couple even after divorce." He added.
Hannah suddenly let out a smile as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. Of course, Oscar had captured her wry smile. He knew his proposal sounded too ridiculous and shameless. Meanwhile, he knew from the bottom of his heart that he could hardly let go of her because he couldn't afford the consequence that Hannah would walk away from his life resolutely and would never return however hard he might try.
"Oscar, you mean after we officially divorce and then you marry Lillian Collins, you wanna keep me inside your house as your mistress?"
Oscar responded with silence. Though he hadn't told her what was going to happen next, Hannah, as brilliant as she had been, managed to predict that he would marry Lillian in the end.
"I don't resent you." Hannah was even more composed than him when talking about divorce though it was he who made the final decision. She simply continued, "Cian's death does bring me great compunction even though I knew I couldn't be fully responsible for it. But still, I survived thanks to his death. So I still reserve the greatest gratitude to him, based on which I convinced myself to accept every tough decision you were forced to make. And also because of Cian's death, you become the only heir of the Wells, because of which you have to burden a lot more responsibility than ever. Just like what you've conspired to take back what had belonged to your family. You have left no choice but to marry Lillian to ally yourself with her family. I fully understand the reasons for all your decisions. And I truly congratulate you with my best wishes." Hannah appeared self-possessed from the very beginning to the end.
Oscar replied with a silent gaze.
"I truly offer you my best wishes for whatever about you whether it was about your future or your marriage to come. As the deal reached the beginning, you helped me to revenge and I helped to make your career prosperous. At least now we have both achieve our goals. That's enough. I am glad we have spent a wonderful period together, which I highly relished. Oscar, don't fail me and the good time we used to spend together." Hannah stressed out her words.
Oscar felt like his heart got slit open. He had expected that Hannah wouldn't be mad about his proposal to divorce. Instead, she might only be exasperated if he insisted to ask her to stay. She was way too much rational. She could figure out his awkward situation by herself and fully understand the reasons for his tough decision. However, out of her strong ego, she would never accept the name of a mistress.
"Oscar, time to let go." Hannah didn't intend to continue the conversation. Both of them were fully aware of the bottom lines of each other. There was no need to spend even one more second talking. Then she added, "If you still want the baby, I will give birth to her. But I need to claim custody. And I will never interfere with your right to pay a visit whenever you wanna meet the child. But of course, if you don't want it, I can turn to abortion. I don't think it's fair to bring her to the world if her father reserves no anticipation from the very beginning."
"Yes, I want the baby! I am anticipating!" Oscar exclaimed.
Hannah seemed a bit hesitant. She had no idea if he still wanted the baby either. After all, the baby could be a threat to the Collinses. What was more, it was reasonable to abort the baby since they were about to divorce. But now Oscar seemed to ask for her birth.
"I have never thought about giving it up." Oscar insisted.
"Okay." She still trusted him. Even though he had done a lot to hurt her, he never lied to her. That would be enough. At least he was way much better than Charles, that goddamn hypocrite. But still, both relationships had a bad ending.
"Okay, I will give birth to the baby." Said Hannah.
It took her quite a lot of effort to conceive the baby and she struggled to keep it. Even if Oscar agreed to abortion, she wouldn't be likely to do it.
"Have you drafted the divorce agreement?" asked Hannah.
Oscar nodded heavily.
"Okay, time to sign on it." Said Hannah.
Then Oscar took out that piece of paper. Hannah took it over and started reading. It turned out that Oscar still managed to reserve the greatest privilege for her. Even though she was never in need of wealth, she found it staggering when noticing the property settlement, for which she couldn't help wondering if he had extracted more than half of the wealth from this country.
"I don't see it necessary to offer me that amount of property. Ever since we married back then, I have been living in happiness. You don't need to make it compensation for me."
"Just take it. Perhaps you will need it someday." His voice was mixed with sadness.
If he deemed it necessary to compensate, just let it be, she reckoned. Never would there be a clear cut if either of them still felt like owing the other.
"Is there a pen?" asked Hannah.
Gazing at her, he was a bit surprised by her resolve to make such a quick decision. Or perhaps she no longer found herself attached to him. That was why she looked so resolute.
Then Oscar took out a delicate golden pen from his pocket. To be honest, Hannah didn't mean to pay special attention to the detail, from which she saw two capitalized letters-'LC', the abbreviation of Lillian Collins.
Was that a love token between them, she supposed?
But now she was going to sign the divorce agreement with their love token. How ridiculous!
Hannah simply ignored the abbreviation and then signed her name. After that, she handed the paper back to Oscar. Then he also signed his name, during which he seemed to be dawdling.
Hannah ignored his reaction. Nor did she notice the weird and contorted handwriting of his name because his hand kept on trembling.
"I will tell my dad to pick me up." As soon as they divorced, moving out would be the very first thing she was going to do. From now on, Oscar would be a stranger to her.
He had mounted to the top while she continued to struggle on her business, between whom there would be no more personal connection.
As soon as she stood up, Oscar grabbed her arm, which she found it repellent even though they used to spend intimate time together.
