Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 658

“Alright, please sign here,” the clerk said, placing the agreement in front of them. “There’s a mandatory 30-day cooling-off period for the divorce to be finalized. During this time, either party can unilaterally withdraw the application.”

Charlotte picked up the pen, signed her name, and pushed the document over to Evander.

He stared at it for a long moment before finally picking up the pen and signing. Once she confirmed his signature was on the paper, she stood up to leave.

As she reached the door, the man behind her called out.

“Charlotte.”

She stopped and turned back to face him, her voice calm and devoid of emotion. “You’re not going to back out, are you?”

Evander watched her for a long time, and a faint smile finally touched his lips, which looked as though they’d been carved from ice. “I want you to be happy, free of worries… even without me.”

Charlotte’s breath caught in her throat, and she instinctively looked away. “I will be.”

Then, without a backward glance, she got into her car.

The moment the door closed, she leaned her head back against the seat and wiped away a falling tear. But when she saw his figure still standing in the same spot outside the car window, her tears broke free like a snapped string, and her composure shattered with them.

There was no despair, no resentment, not even the sting of unrequited love.

This was a thousand times more painful than the day she had first divorced Evander and left the Capital.

Meanwhile, in a car heading in the opposite direction, Evander’s gaze remained fixed out the window, his eyes filled with an inconsolable loneliness.

He toyed with a small, exquisite box in his hand. Inside was the diamond ring he had intended to give her at their engagement party, a ring that was never given.

The car stopped outside the Howard Enterprises building. A crowd of reporters was blocking the entrance, and as soon as they spotted Evander’s car, they swarmed it like a tidal wave.
