Chapter 267 The Final Farewell

In the office of the civil affairs bureau, the atmosphere grew heavy and tense.

Yvonne calmly voiced her decision, “Yes, I’m voluntarily divorcing.”

Her voice was firm, without a trace of hesitation, as it this was a decision she had carefully thought through,

The staff member glanced at Benson, slightly puzzled, and asked cautiously,‘ Uh… are you also voluntarily divorcing?”

There was a hint of confusion and caution in his tone, as if trying to confirm

the situation.

Benson’s voice trembled as he tried to protest, but the bodyguards from his own family restrained him.

A rough, calloused hand covered his mouth, silencing him.

Despite his desperate attempts to say something, the muffled sounds he made in the quiet office were helpless and ignored by everyone.

The entire process was completed smoothly under this oppressive atmosphere.

When the divorce certificate was handed to Yvonne, the Taylor family’s

bodyguards quickly left the scene, as if they feared Benson might hold them

accountable.

The office was left with only Benson and Yvonne, and the oppressive atmosphere at the desk.

Benson clutched the divorce certificate tightly, his emotions indescribable.

He stood in front of Yvonne, his lips moving slightly, but he found himself unable to say anything.

All his emotions condensed into a silent pain at that moment.

Yvonne stood before him, slightly tilting her head up. Morning light streamed in through the window, casting a soft glow over her figure.

Her face bore a faint expression of sorrow and resolve, her beauty tinged with

loneliness.

Her eyes were downcast, as if contemplating something deep.

Every movement she made was graceful yet filled with sadness.

Benson’s heart ached with indescribable sorrow and regret.

He gazed at Yvonne’s beautiful face, and a wave of pain and remorse washed over him like a tide.

He wanted to plead with her to stay, but found himself powerless to do so. All he could do was silently watch her, unsure of what else he could do.

“Benson, I’m really sorry. I truly am.”

Yvonne’s voice was tinged with a slight tremor, and tears glistened in her eyes.

Her voice remained calm, but the deep emotion and regret within it revealed her inner turmoil.

Benson’s eyes also began to moisten, and a bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. “You really should be sorry!”

His voice was filled with helplessness and pain.

When he didn’t love her, she had forced their marriage. And now, when he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, she ended it this way.

Yvonne, you’ve really outdone yourself!

Yvonne kept her gaze lowered, her eyes fixed on the floor.

Her expression remained cold, but her heart was full of complex emotions.

He hadn’t wanted the marriage in the beginning, and now he didn’t want the divorce either. She, too, felt a deep sense of regret and helplessness.

“From the beginning, it was I who forced this marriage. The way it has ended is not just your fault,” Yvonne said softly but firmly.

“There were many reasons on my side too. Honestly, you haven’t been happy during this time either.

Since you found out I was looking for someone for you, the pressure on you was likely much greater than you imagined.”

Her tone carried a hint of exhaustion and relief.

“Letting each other go might be the best choice for us. We both need to start over and pursue our own true happiness.

Benson’s face turned pale, his eyes filled with sadness and unwillingness.

His heart was gripped by unease and confusion, but no matter how he felt, nothing could change Yvonne’s decision.

He took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions, but he knew that in the face of Yvonne’s resolve, he was powerless.

The divorce certificate felt heavy in Yvonne’s hands, just as Benson’s heart felt heavy with memories of the past and uncertainty about the future.

Their relationship had ended at that moment, and their marriage had come to a close.

Every second of silence seemed to slowly erase their feelings from memory.

Benson’s expression darkened, and he let out a cold laugh.

“Now you say all these nice things, Yvonne. You don’t love me anymore, do you? You stopped loving me a long time ago, didn’t you?

Well, I feel the same… I only liked the old you.

I don’t just dislike the new you–I hate you!”

His voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and sorrow.

The once confident and proud Benson was now facing his deepest pain and defeat.

His eyes flashed with resentment and unwillingness. Facing Yvonne, his pride wouldn’t let him bow down, even though deep down he was still attached to

her.

His humiliation and shame were all because of her.

He had never imagined that such a once steadfast love would end in such a shameful way.

Despite the plea in his eyes, Yvonne chose coldness and indifference.

Her coldness was like ice, freezing all his emotions at this moment of divorce.

He stood there, his proud figure now seeming even more isolated and helpless.

His voice dripped with cold sarcasm.

“Yvonne, let me tell you, if you don’t want me, there are plenty of others who do. After the divorce, don’t come running back to me. I’ll be waiting for the day you

regret it!”

He turned and left angrily, his steps firm but filled with anxious urgency, as if his retreating figure was a protest against all his misfortune.

Yvonne quietly watched him leave, her heart filled with countless emotions.

Four years ago, when she had happily entered the marriage with him, all she received was his cold response.

Now, as they finally parted, he remained as cold as ever, not even turning back to look.

She sighed, realizing everything had returned to where it began.

Love or not, it was all in the past.

She felt a sense of relief, mixed with sadness.

But she knew she had done her best to make the marriage work, and now all the entanglements had become part of the past.

Victoria walked over to her, gently taking her hand, her tone filled with guilt and

concern.

“That fool… he’s so immature in dealing with emotions. I apologize on his behalf.”

Her voice was soft and low, tears glistening in her eyes. As a mother, her pain and guilt were impossible to hide.

Yvonne stepped forward, her voice soft and filled with gratitude.

“Mom, thank you. You’ve always supported me. But this isn’t something you should apologize for; it’s between us.”

She tried to keep her voice steady, but it was clear she was struggling with her

emotions.

Victoria’s eyes were red, tears threatening to spill over.

“Yvonne…”

She knew this would be the last time Yvonne would call her “Mom.”

“Benson did wrong by you, and as his mother, I bear much of the responsibility. Let me take you out for a meal, and I hope you won’t hold a grudge against him.
