Step by step, Trent walked up to Quinn, his voice hoarse as he asked, “Why didn’t you tell me back then that it was your parents‘ death gratuity?”
At that moment, the heavy feeling in his chest was so intense that it was almost suffocating him.
“Back then, I didn’t want you to feel burdened by the amount of money. I didn’t want to add to your worries,” Quinn said calmly.
Back then, when she entrusted him with her parents‘ death gratuity, she was also placing her hopes for their future marriage into his hands.
She thought they could grow old together.
Yet, things turned out differently.
“Trent, no one knows if she’s telling the truth or not! Don’t believe her!” Jacinda protested. “She’s just after the money, and she’ll say anything-”
“Enough!” Trent cut Jacinda off sharply, his eyes filled with frustration, pain, and regret.
Had he known back then that his startup fund came from Quinn’s parents‘ death gratuity, he would have treated her better. He would’ve accompanied her to collect her parents‘ ashes, and most importantly, he would’ve given her all of that money back during the divorce.
The ache in his chest transformed into a profound pain, gradually spreading throughout his entire body. It left him disoriented and consumed by agony.,
“I’ll find a way to get you the money by tomorrow!” he said, his voice laced with bitterness.
The next day was the day they had agreed to go to the City Hall to officially process their divorce.
At that moment, he found himself utterly unable to suggest replacing the money with shares.
After all, the money was rightfully hers to begin with, and he owed her.
“All right. I’ll wait until tomorrow, then,” Quinn said, her gaze icy as she looked at the person before her. If he still wants to deny this debt, then no matter how troublesome it will be, I’ll take him to court and fight it out.
Trent was staring blankly at the person in front of him. Once upon a time, the way she looked at him was gentle yet steadfast. It was as if no matter what hardships they encountered, she would always be there by his side, weathering through it all with him.
At that moment, however, all that was left was coldness.
From then on, she probably wouldn’t be by his side anymore.
Right then, Trent was suddenly overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of loss.
