Chapter 855: Chapter 855 Enchanting Time: The Wedding (Finale 25)_1

Madeleine waited until Howard Coleman nodded before she spoke, “Howard, today is our two hundred and ninety-seventh day of marriage, isn’t it?”

Howard Coleman didn’t react, he just stared at her.

Madeleine’s face bore a faint smile, her gaze somewhat distant as if caught up in thought, and it took her a long while before she finally blinked, her eyes clearing a bit as she said, “Howard, I’ve decided to let go.”

In fact, up until the second before she uttered those words, she was still hesitating about whether she should really let go.

She was a coward, daring to love the man before her, but never brave enough to lose him.

She knew that letting go of this man whom she had loved since childhood would definitely be very painful, but when she spoke those words, she found that the pain overwhelmed her, almost making her faint in her dining chair.

...

Howard Coleman had been wondering what Madeleine wanted to tell him. In the end, he guessed it was probably about Anita Madris… he had even prepared himself in his mind to explain to Madeleine why he was with Anita Madris that day.

But he hadn’t expected that her first words would be about letting go.

The hand of Howard Coleman subconsciously clenched the brocade box in his pocket, his gaze fixated on Madeleine, as if he had no idea what she was talking about.

Madeleine waited for the pain in her heart to subside before she slowly exhaled, curved her lips into a smile at Howard Coleman, and then mustered all her courage to say what she needed to say in one breath: “This is the divorce agreement I drafted with a lawyer this afternoon. I’m not asking for any of your property, and I’ve already signed it. Take a look.”

As Madeleine spoke, tears had filled her eyes, but she forced a curve in her lips, picked up her purse from the dining chair beside her, pulled out a stack of papers, and slid them across the table to Howard Coleman: “Once you’ve signed, give me a call. I’ll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce procedures.”

Howard Coleman was silent for a while before he glanced at the papers Madeleine had pushed toward him. Seeing the words “Divorce Agreement” snapped him back to reality, realizing this wasn’t a dream. He was silent for about a minute before he looked up at Madeleine: “Madeleine, why suddenly divorce me? Is it because of Anita Madris?”

“It’s not,” Madeleine said without any hesitation: “Actually, it’s not sudden about the divorce. It was my fault at the beginning. I was too selfish and too willful. I’ve felt guilty these days, and although I don’t know if it’s too late to change now, it’s still better than never changing, right?”

Madeleine stopped abruptly mid-sentence, sitting rigid in her dining chair for half a minute before she found the strength to give Howard Coleman another smile and continued, “Besides, Howard, haven’t you always been looking forward to divorcing me? Congratulations, your wish has finally come true.”

I never imagined that one day, I would have to exchange the shattering of my own wishes for the fulfillment of yours.

Madeleine endured the sour ache at the bottom of her heart, striving to maintain her composure.

The words “wish has finally come true” struck loud and clear like a slap across Howard Coleman’s face, leaving him at a loss for words to retain Madeleine.
