NovelOnlineAvery had been quite calm before she saw him, and especially before he put down his signature. After all, she brought up the subject of divorce, and she had prepared herself to the best of her abilities before he returned to the country.
Unfortunately, when the tcfor her to face him, she could visibly see how her relationship with him cto an end, and how their union was separated into two halves. From then on, they would no longer have anything to do with each other, and the pain suffocated her.
Regardless of who turned their back on the other first, their grievances and enmity with each other were severed from then onward.
"He signed it." Chad stood by the floor-to-ceiling window outside the cafe and saw Elliot signing the document. "How did they settle it so quickly?" Chad was puzzled because he had always understood Avery to be the kind of person who would fight tooth and nail for custody of the children.
"Avery can give up custody of Layla and Robert, but Elliot knows that he can't get Hayden's custody. Other than that, there's nothing else to dispute." Mike could see Elliot penning down the signature too.

Everything was over, and he was a little surprised at how smoothly it all went.
He did not even expect Avery to cout that quickly, and he thought he was hallucinating when Avery walked up to him.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say to Chad? I'll wait for you in the car first." Avery carried her bag, left him with that sentence, and strode towards the parking lot.
It was scorching hot at that moment and just standing outside for a moment was enough to make a person sweat.
Mike watched Avery get into the car before glancing into the cafe.
Elliot was still sitting there with a cup of tea in his hand, almost as if he was frozen stiff.
"What does Avery plan to do next?" Chad looked at Mike and asked.
"Why are you askingthat? Are you going to the airport to see us off?" Chad shook his head. "l won't. I'm just asking." "Is that so? Well, I'm leaving then," Mike said. "You can call or text if there's anything you need." "Okay. You go ahead!" Chad said.
Mike walked to the parking lot.
Chad sighed silently in his heart as he watched Mike enter the car >e-;QLR: close the door.
He used to think that Avery and Elliot were a match made in heaven, the kind that would always remain with each other regardless of how much hardship they went through.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking back, he felt that he had been too naive.
Life was a long journey, and there were always different variables at play. When two people fell out of love after a period of intense affection for each other, they would end up in a much more awkward situation than if they were enemies.
In fact, their separation was a rather decent one since they did not make a big fuss inside the cafe earlier. Sadly, it was one of those decent separations that had a lesser chance of getting back together in the future. On the contrary, those who had a heated and impassioned separation had a higher chance of rekindling their feelings even after parting ways.
Chad strode into the cafe and sat down opposite Elliot.
"They left. I'll bring you back so you can rest!" Chad looked carefully at Elliot's expression and saw that it was the sas usual.
However, there was a certain willfulness in it.
"Did you get custody of Robert and Layla?" Chad changed the question.
"I did." Elliot handed the papers to Chad. " Bring it to the lawyer." "Okay." Chad accepted the papers. "Did you explain to her why you went to Ylore? Why did you sign it so quickly?" "She doesn't want to hear it. She made up her mind to divorce me, and | don't want to humiliate myself. It's not like | can change anything if | humiliate myself." Chad felt as if a whole bottle of feelings had spilled out when he heard Elliot's calm and composed tone.
"Look on the bright side. At least you still have Layla and Robert," Chad comforted.
