Chapter 119 Divorce Agreement 

Mother paused, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, saying, “I’ve contacted him, but Tabatha, are you really sure you want to divorce Walter? I’ve seen him waiting outside the ward these past few days. He knows you don’t want to see him, so he’s been sending William to visit you every day. Tabatha, that night… 

“Mom, it’s all in the past,” I interrupted my mother, looking at her with an unusually calm 

Voice. “I’ve made my decision. The road ahead is still long. I don’t want to keep suffering the same pain. Besides, you and dad have both told me that we can’t live in the past forever. We have to look forward.” 

Mother sighed, nodding slightly, “Alright, I’ll give you the lawyer’s number. I’ve already spoken to him about your situation with Walter. The divorce agreement has been roughly drafted. You just need to meet with him and add some details. 

I nodded. 

It was still early, so I contacted the lawyer who had worked with my father before his death, using the contact information my mother had given me, and arranged a meeting. 

Drafting a divorce agreement wasn’t difficult. All I wanted was to divorce Walter, I didn’t need anything related to him or the Hinton family. So, as long as Walter signed, our marital relationship would be completely dissolved. 

After meeting with the lawyer, I held the divorce agreement, feeling suffocated, but more ironically, many times, people are just not decisive enough, so they keep getting hurt.

If I had known about the matter between Walter and Ashley from the beginning, I could have been more decisive, and perhaps, that poor child could have stayed. 

Thinking of the child, I still couldn’t help but feel a pang in my heart. 

Taking a deep breath, I drove to Water Villa. 

The climate in River City had become thoroughly cold, and the days were growing increasingly shorter. By the time I arrived at Water Villa, it was already dark. 

There were no lights on in the villa, and I stood in the yard for a long time. I had lived in this place for two years, and I was particularly familiar with every plant and tree in the yard. The day I moved in, I thought to myself that I wanted to have children with Walter here in the future. When we had children, I wanted to set up a beautiful swing in the yard and also keep a fluffy little white dog. 

I wanted to spend days filled with fireworks with Walter. 

“Ha!” Thinking of all these, I couldn’t help but want to laugh, laughing at my own foolishness, laughing at my own naivety, laughing at how ridiculous I was. 

“Tabatha!” A gentle feminine voice came from behind. I collected my thoughts and slowly turned around. It was Ashley and Walter. 

The two seemed to have just arrived, Ashley was holding a beautiful box in her hand, which looked like it contained pastries, presumably they had just returned from shopping. 

Walter, in a black coat, tall and handsome, stood next to Ashley, which only served to accentuate her petite figure. 

At first glance, the two really seemed well-matched.

Not in the mood to appreciate the two, I looked up at Walter and said indifferently, “Shall we talk?” 

Seemingly surprised, Walter nodded, glanced sideways at Ashley and said, “Go home, be careful on the road.” 

Ashley looked at me for a moment, nodded, and walked a few steps. Then, as if remembering something, she turned back to Walter and said, “It seems like there’s a leak in the bathroom of the new house, Walter. Could you find some time to help me check it out?” 

After speaking, that charming face turned towards me, revealing a hint of provocation. She was declaring her sovereignty to me. 

I ignored her, just wanting to laugh inwardly, a new house? 

It was easy to guess, Walter had probably settled her somewhere nearby, most likely for the convenience of taking care of her. 

Ashley left, and Walter didn’t rush to speak. Instead, he walked over to me, reached out his hand to pull me, and said, “It’s cold outside, let’s talk inside.” 

I avoided him, took a few steps back, and created some distance between us. 

Ignoring the furrow in his brow, I handed him the divorce agreement.
