Chapter 48 Part Forever

Chapter 48 Part Forever

All the words were at the tip of his tongue, but in the end, he only said one sentence, "Let's go."

The two of them understood each other without words, never mentioning the past. They swiftly completed the divorce procedures, and soon had their divorce certificates in hand.

From start to finish, Avery didn't say a word to him. She took the divorce certificate and walked away without any hesitation. Jacob couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for the future?" Avery didn't turn her head. "It's none of your business, Mr. Hill."

A snowflake fell from a tree branch onto her shoulder. Jacob subconsciously reached out to brush it off. His fingers hesitated in the air.

What right did he have to touch her now?

He let her go, hoping to put a complete end to this matter.

Looking at the brilliant sunlight, Jacob remembered that on the day they got their marriage certificate, the weather was just as nice. She wore a white dress, her lips adorned with a bright smile.

"I hope we never have to come back to this place."

"We never will."

"What if you betray me?"

"Then you can kill me. Dead people don't betray." His serious expression back then scared her.

It had only been three years since he said those words.

Avery could feel his gaze on her. She didn't turn back. She walked on the snowy ground, taking one step at a time.

She told herself over and over again not to make their parting so painful.

Every time she thought about it, it felt like a permanent farewell. From now on, she and this man would have nothing to do with each other. The bittersweet feeling inside her was indescribable.

Just a few steps out, she heard Layla's excited voice from behind, unable to contain her joy. "Jacob, congratulations on finally getting what you wanted."

Finally getting what he wanted?

Avery gave a bitter smile. Yes, if she hadn't held on so tightly this past year, they would have divorced on the seventh day after losing their child.

Jacob didn't respond. Layla continued, "I have all the documents ready. Shall we go in and get our marriage certificate?"

Avery didn't hear Jacob's reply. When she heard those words, her heart felt like it was being squeezed, making it hard for her to breathe.

Isabella supported her, asking softly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Isabella glanced at the two figures in the distance. Layla was gesticulating happily, talking to herself. Jacob kept his head down all along. The tree's shadow blocked the sunlight, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Such a despicable man and woman. Bah!" Isabella sneered, reaching out to wipe away the tears on Avery's face. "Crying for a scum like him is not worth it."

Avery forced herself to lift her head and managed to give a faint smile. "I know. I'm just having a hard time controlling it."

"Silly girl, you need to understand one thing: relying on anyone is a form of self-destruction. The big tree can shelter you from the wind and rain, but it can also block out the sun. I haven't seen that confident Avery in a long time. You should be shining in your own world."

In the end, Avery looked at Jacob one last time and closed the car window.

Jacob understood the meaning behind her final gaze-it was a part forever.
