Chapter 1262 Provoke? Divorce?

"What do you mean, Nicole? Are you really together with Zachary?" Colton forcefully suppressed theanger welling up within him, each word enunciated as he questioned her.

If Nicole didn't admit to her relationship with Zachary at this moment, he could forgive her completelyand pretend as if it had never happened.

In fact, Nicole was struggling to stand upright. While it appeared on the surface that she was in lovewith Zachary, she was actually leaning on him for support so that she could stand tall in front of Colton.

Colton's scorching gaze caused her heart to ache. Were it not for Zachary supporting her at her side,she might have collapsed on the ground and withered up in front of Colton.

"Colton, let's get a divorce. I no longer love you as I've fallen for Zachary. I know that if I do this—"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Colton's furious roar. "Enough!" he shoutedwhile trembling all over. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the man and woman before him; theywere so perfectly matched, yet so glaringly discordant.

Nicole shivered as she was taken aback by his outburst.

Sensing her distress, Zachary quickly held her hands so that she could stand upright.

However, this scene was nothing but irony in Colton's eyes. He felt that he was being mocked as apitiful clown from the beginning

"Colton, now that Nicole has found happiness with another person, why don't we wish her well?"

Although Evelyn was still afraid that Colton would get angry, she quickly stepped forward to giveadvice.

As long as Colton could give up on Nicole, she would have a chance to win him over.

"Wish her well?" Colton let out a cold snort.

Before the words had even settled, he waved his hand and swiftly signed his name on the divorceagreement. His action was clean and neat.

Evelyn instinctively took a step back. However, her fear vanished instantly after seeing him sign thedivorce agreement so decisively.

Finally, he was going to be hers.

Nicole's heart ached deeply, yet she heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Now, Colton wouldprobably give up on her completely.

After giving Nicole a deep glare, Colton turned around and stormed off, with Evelyn following closelybehind.

As Nicole watched him leave, her remaining strength drained from her body as she fell back.

"Nicole!" Zachary acted swiftly, cradling her in his arms. Without waiting for Roxanna to say anything,he carried her toward the room.

Nicole stared blankly ahead as she replayed Colton's actions in her mind, as if she was recallingscenes from an old movie.

"Zachary, Colton has probably given up on me, right?" She forced a smile. While she appeared to beasking Zachary, she was actually questioning herself.

Zachary's steps halted slightly as he shook his head helplessly while gently placing her on the bed.Looking at her being lifeless, he felt his heart ache. "Why don't you tell him the truth? Both of youwouldn't need to suffer like this."

"No, you don't understand." She let out a soft chuckle as she continued, "A brief spell of pain is betterthan prolonged suffering. By making him give up completely, perhaps someday another woman willrekindle his interest. If he knows I left because of the voodoo, not only would he not give up, but he'dalso harbor a grudge. Even if he gets revenge, he'd never replace peace for the rest of his life."

Her voice was gentle, but her words were clear. Zachary silently stayed by her side without sayingmuch.

"Did you know that Colton is quite stubborn? Even if he gets his revenge, he won't be satisfied. Today'soutcome is better for him and for me." She felt a sense of relief, but she was unsure if it was due to herown liberation of mind or the glimmers of nostalgia.

Zachary bowed his head and stayed silent. His eyes were full of concern as he watched her.

"By the way, Zachary, there's something I'd like to ask of you," she asked.
