    Chapter 323 A New Opportunity


    The moment I received the divorce certificate, I noticed Leonard swallow several times as f he wanted to say something. Yet, he didn''t utter a single word. He sat quietly without reaching for the certificate. Looking at the divorce certificate, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief.


    I said nothing and turned to leave the county clerk''s office with Leonard trailing behind me.


    "Eva" he called out to me, his voice thick with emotion.


    "Are we still friends?"


    "No." I shook my head with a smile. We were no longer anything to each other. It was hard to say who owed whom. The mess of our rtionship felt impossible to untangle


    But at this moment, it felt like a clean te. A fresh start didn''t seem so difficult, after all.


    I waved my hand at him. "Let''s just pretend we never knew each other. I''m leaving."


    "Eva!" He stepped before me, and I could see the tears brimming in his eyes.


    My heart tightened at that moment


    Leonard rarely cried. Even during the hardest times, he had held back his emotions. He had lost a lot of weight, and he didn''t seem to be in a sound mental state. He had tried to reach me many times this past month, but I never answered


    He didn''t know I was hospitalized, and I couldn''t leave the hospital. Since my second rpse, Leonard had nevere to visit me. I wondered if it was somend of cosmic mistake that he remained unaware of my situation. Perhaps it was tate''s way of allowing us to part ways.


    Thirty days felt long in theory but short in reality.


    I reflected on everything that had transpired between us over the years and suddenly thought that separation might be for the best.


    Who said that love had to lead to being together? There were plenty of couple


    who ended up with bittersweet endings.


    He reached out to take my hand, but Amelia''s voice broke through just then. "Leo, are you done yet?"


    Her belly was starting to show, and she was wearing maternity clothes.


    Amelia wasn''t unattractive, but her perpetually cold demeanor had always made her seem unapproachable.


    I noticed that her outfit matched Leonard''s. They were wearing matching clothes.


    I took a step back. "Let''s not meet again."


    In four hours, I would be on a flight to Manovia, possibly never

    As soon as I checked into the hotel, I received a video call from Emma.

    "That fast? I thought there would be a dy of an hour or tw Emma rambled on about what happened on the day of our divorce. Leonard had a series of projects fall through at work, culminating in a huge outburst. Everyone thought he had gone crazy, especially with Amelia promoting the news of our divorce.


    Some media outlets even caught footage of us going to the county clerk''s office together.


    But in the footage, it seemed I was the only one leaving despondently, while Amelia and Leonard were seen in matching outfits.
