The Heart Left Behind 10

Chapter 10 

Since Yvonne was so protective of Jared, I couldn’t be bothered to say anything else

In this case, let’s stick to what we discussed before,I said promptly. Each of us takes one child. Jonas comes with me. If you still refuse, I’ll have to file for divorce and settle this in 

court.” 

I handed her the divorce agreement and a pen, signaling for her to sign it

I was certain that she would sign. After all, her relationship with Jared was now making headlines. Our marriage would inevitably be exposed if we brought this matter to court

The public would label Yvonne as an adulteress by then, and Jared, the highly adored superstar, would be branded as a homewrecker. Such media opinion would do them no good, and the best option was for her to sign the papers quickly

Gripping the pen, Yvonne seemed as though she wanted to snap it in half. With a sullen expression, she ultimately signed the divorce agreement

She then threw the pen onto the table and glowered at me. Cole, you’ll pay for this nonsensical act today.” 

I took the agreement and looked at the name on it, unable to stop myself from smiling. A sudden sense of relief washed over me

What price would I have to pay? The best price would be finally getting our marriage dissolved

Before Yvonne could storm out, I stopped her and asked, Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s go to the courthouse and finalize our divorce.” 

There was a coolingoff period before the divorce was finalized, so the sooner we acted, the sooner we could proceed with the proceedings

Do you really have to be in such a rush?Yvonne snapped, clearly infuriated. Fine. See you 

at the courthouse at 10:00 am tomorrow!” 

See you tomorrow,I replied calmly

Although this house was the marital home I bought, the agreement stated that it would belong to Yvonne. I shouldn’t stay here any longer

That evening, I packed my necessities and had them moved to an apartment I owned

Seeing that I was packing, Jonas understood what was happening. He padded up to me and sobbed, Daddy, are you and Mommy really getting a divorce? What about me and Xavier?” 

Our divorce was set in stone, so there was no need to hide it from the kids. They would have to find out sooner or later, after all. It would be better for them to know earlier so that they could 

accept it sooner

I patted his head and comforted him, You’ll stay with me, so I’ll take you with me. Don’t worry. As for your brother, he’ll be even happier since he can live with Jared from now on. He likes Jared so much, after all.” 

Standing by the door, Xavier frowned when he heard this

Are you just going to abandon me? I like Jared because he actually plays with me. What about you? You’re such an irresponsible dad. I’m going to tell Grandpa!” 

He stood there, hands on his hips. Normally, I would’ve gone over to placate himbut not 

anymore

I glanced at him indifferently and said, So, from now on, have Jared play with you. No one. will bother you with your homework anymore.” 

Rendered speechless, Xavier fumbled for a retort but could only shout angrily, You’re a bad guy!” 

He darted off, but I didn’t go after him. Instead, I told Jonas to gather his important belongings

Jonas was slightly reluctant but still did as I asked. He said he wanted to stay here for one more night, and I agreed

All children needed time to get used to farewells, after all

The next day, I waited for Yvonne at the courthouse at the time we both agreed upon
