Silas looked up at me and nodded in agreement.
He handed me the pen, and I signed the divorce papers without any change in my
expression.
“Don’t you want to read the agreement?” Silas frowned and asked.
I smiled slightly. “No need.”
He was practically leaving empty–handed, giving me all the assets, all for Jane, to repay a debt of gratitude.
“Let’s go finalize the divorce tomorrow,” he said.
“Okay,” I replied.
Silas’s hand holding the divorce papers trembled slightly. He looked at me with a hint of

“Let’s go finalize the divorce tomorrow,” he said.
“Okay,” I replied.
Silas’s hand holding the divorce papers trembled slightly. He looked at me with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but ultimately said nothing.
As they were leaving, Jane turned back and gave me a mocking look, her thin lips silently mouthing: “You lost.”
I did lose.
I lost a lifetime, so now I don’t want to lose anymore.
A while later, my phone screen lit up with a message from Silas.
[I’m sorry for putting you through this today, Thea.]
[After this blows over, I’ll give you a grand wedding ceremony when we remarry.]
I can’t stand by and watch Jane’s depression worsen. You can understand me, right?]
Looking at these words, I couldn’t help but laugh, tears in the corners of my eyes.
It was the same in my previous life.
Silas, in order to force me to divorce, sought advice from his friend while drunk.
But he forgot that his friend was also my friend.
Jack tried to persuade Silas not to sacrifice his marriage for Jane.
At the same time, he mediated with me, asking me to try to understand Silas, saying that
Silas was a man who valued loyalty.
If it weren’t for Jane’s father recognizing Silas’s abilities, investing in him, and helping him start his business, Silas wouldn’t be where he is today.

Back then, I cried and argued:
“Silas has a thousand ways to clarify this situation. Why must we divorce?”
Jack fell silent.
He had asked Silas, and Silas’s answer at the time was:
“Someone has to be hurt. I can only let Thea down. She loves me, she’ll understand.”
Because I loved him, he chose to sacrifice me.
What kind of logic is that?
Fortunately, I have another chance now.
