Chapter 263 Adam was caught off guard by Celines question .

Did he like her ? There had been moments when he had glimpsed his unusual feelings for her .

He had felt reluctant to let her go .

He had been drawn to her .

He had wanted to possess her .

Yes , there had been a sliver of liking for her , but that sliver was insignificant in the face of Carly .

Now that they were getting a divorce , he decided to cut clean the relationship properly .

He had to be ruthless and indifferent , He said , Celine , love Carly .

He said he loved Carly .

The light in Celines eyes slowly dimmed .

She shouldnt have asked .

That question had only humiliated her , leaving her utterly defeated .

She accepted her loss with grace .

Then lets get divorced .

Adem paused briefly and said , Go get your ID cand .

Her lips curled faintly as she patted her bag .

I brought it with me , Before leaving her room , she had taken her ID card along with her .

She knew his Intention when she saw his call .

He glanced at her , then started the car and drove toward the city hall .

Half an hour later , Adam and Celine were sitting inside the court .

The staff processing their divorce tried to persuade them .

A great marriage is not when the perfect couple comes together .

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences .

Do you need some more time to think it over ? Adams face remained emotionless as he replied , Weve made our decision .

Alright then , said the staff .

Please sign here to finalize your divorce .

Celine didnt move .

She watched as Adam picked up the pen and , with swift strokes , signed his name .

His signature was bold and forceful , without a trace of hesitation .

Then , he put down the pen down .

Her pale eyes suddenly reddened .

She quietly picked up the pen and signed her own name .

The staff checked Celines data on the computer and asked , Young lady , is it just you listed here ? She had no family members .

It had always been just her.

She had always been alone , without a family , She nodded .

Yes , she replied .

The staff stamped the documents and handed the divorce certificates to Adam and Celine before announcing , The two of this moment on , you two are no longer husband and wife .

Celine took her certificate and said , Thank you .

As they walked out of the city hall , Adamn asked , Are you going back to Yorhine University ? I can give you a ride .

She declined .

No thanks , Mr.

Ill go back on my own .

You should return to the hospital and stay with Carly .

you are now divorced .

From With that , she turned and walked away , wandering the streets alone .

She didnt know how long she had been walking or how far she had gone .

Her eyes were hot and damp , burning with unshed tears , and soon , heavy droplets spilled uncontrollably down her face .

The moment she turned away , tears had already filled her eyes .

She had always been alone , without family until he appeared .

In that cave , he had said he would take her away .

He had said he wanted her , and she believed him .

In the years he doted on Carly , she had grown up alone .

She had traveled far , only to come back to him .

Growing up without a family , she had hoped to tele his name and build a home with him .

During his three years as a vegetative patient , she had held on to the purest hopes of a young girl , fulfilling the role of his wife .

She thought that as long as she worked hard , it would be enough .

But in the end , that home still fell apart .
