Chapter 3972
At that moment, the door creaked open, and Olivia lifted her gaze to see Dylan enter.
Unlike many divorced couples, Olivia appeared remarkably composed as she remarked, “There you are! I just received the divorce decree from my lawyer.
”
With that, she extended one of the copies to him.
Taking a cursory glance at the document, Dylan put it away without saying a word.
Olivia picked up the desk phone and dialed the internal line.
“Maria, could you come to my office, please?”
Shortly after, the assistant arrived.
In that moment, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Olivia was handing her over to Dylan as though she were part of their marital property division.
Despite her inclination to stay with Olivia, all she received was a faint smile and a request not to make any hasty decisions.
However, Maria was aware that Olivia was in need of help while she started anew, but Olivia still refused her.
In reality, Olivia simply wanted to cut ties with Dylan.
And that meant she would rid herself of anything and anyone associated with him.
Maria also inquired whether Olivia planned to see Dylan again in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Olivia responded, “Let’s just go with the flow! We both reside in Duefron, and besides, my sister-in-law and Dylan have been friends for many years.
So I can’t make things difficult for her, right?”
Upon hearing Olivia’s response, Maria couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
At the same time, she harbored a silent hope that Olivia could regain the carefree demeanor she had once possessed.
It seemed that undergoing certain experiences caused a person to mature suddenly.
After calmly handing over the documents, Olivia gathered her personal belongings, preparing to leave.
“Hold on a moment, Olivia!”
Dylan interrupted abruptly.
“I need to talk to you.
”
Olivia was taken aback by his suddenness.
With her chin raised, she stood frozen in place.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
This was her way of withholding tears, avoiding pleading for Dylan’s mercy, or subjecting herself to his harsh words.
With a bitter smile, Olivia spoke up.
“What else is there to discuss? Are you suggesting that if I remain single for the next two years, then we might consider getting back together? Dylan, even if you’re okay with the idea of me going back to Raphael, I can’t bear the idea of you living with someone who isn’t me! You used to promise you wouldn’t do anything to upset me, but now you’re going back on your word.
I don’t have anything more to say to you.
”
With those words, Olivia discreetly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Olivia was still a human being, not an emotionless robot.
Ultimately, Olivia left without glancing back at him.
Yet Dylan caught up with her and pulled her into the elevator.
This elevator was exclusive to the president of the company, so there was no one else present except the two of them.
Dylan held her tightly, preventing Olivia from moving, his body was nearly pressed against hers.
