Jackson thought she was joking at first, but there was nothing yful in her voice.


    He''de just to watch the drama, but now his expression hardened. "What are you trying to say?"


    ra''s voice was cool and steady. "Don''t you get it, Jackson? I''m going to file for divorce today. Thanks foring all this way to remind me."


    People really dough when they''re angry.


    Jackson let out a sharp, humorlessugh, his whole presence suddenly intense. "ra, you''ve been acting like you''re head over heels for Dntely. He''s fallen harder and harder for you, changed his whole life for you. And now, right when he can''t walk away, you want a divorce? Are you messing with him?"<fn4cb2> Latest content published on findnovel</fn4cb2>


    Honestly, if Dn hadn''t always protected her, given ra''s history with the Dawson family, Jackson would''ve made sure she left the city long ago. She never would''vested this long in the Capital.


    Even Kaitlyn looked shocked. The rumors about ra and Dn had been swirling around town for ages.


    They''d gotten married when everyone thought it was a terrible idea.


    Now, just when people were finally starting to believe they might actually make it, they were splitting up?


    ra stood up slowly and turned to Kaitlyn. "Let''s just divide things the way we talked about. If you need more money for anything, just let me know."


    Kaitlyn nodded, wide-eyed, and watched ra walk away.


    Jackson was fuming, ready to go after her, when someone stepped through the café door.


    The guy who''d been hiding out in his car finally decided to show himself.


    ra reached the entrance right then, but she didn''t even nce at Dn as she brushed past him.


    He lifted his hand, maybe to stop her, but when she ignored him, it just hovered awkwardly in the air.


    Jackson saw the whole thing and nearly lost it.


    He stormed over, calling after ra, "ra! Can''t you see he''s hurt? Are you


    blind? Do you even care about Dn anymore?"


    ra stopped in her tracks and nced back, her tone icy. "No."


    "What?" Jackson stared at her, stunned.


    ra didn''t hesitate. "I really don''t care about Dn anymore. And since Mr. Dn is here maybe we should talk about the divorce Thanks for sticking with me this long, but it''s time we both moved on  s


    Dn''s hand clenched at his side, then slowly loosened.


    ra turned to face him, her eyes empty. "The courthouse is open today. can go with you to Palm Bay, grab our marriage certificate, and- we can make the divorce official. What do you think, Mr. Dn?”


    s


    Dn doubled over with a cough, a little color finally showing in his pale cheeks.


    Anyone could see he wasn''t doing well.


    He coughed again and again, his wrist trembling.


    Jackson stared at ra in disbelief. "How can you be so cold?"


    ra''s face stayed nk. She just repeated herself, "Mr. Dn, are you willing to get divorced?"


    Dn''sshes trembled. He dropped his hand from his lips and looked up at her.


    She avoided his gaze, staring off to the side. “I''ll go to Palm Bay with you right now. Let''s get this over with."


    Dn pressed his lips together, silent for a long moment before asking quietly, "Can we...not get divorced?"


    "No."


    Her answer was final, her brows drawn together in clear irritation.


    She almost never lost her temper with him. Even back when she''d said stre did have feelings for him, didnt


    she''d always been respecte


    s


    Jackson looked from Dn to ra, practically shaking with anger.


    "ra, you-!”


    Before he could finish, Dn interrupted, his voice shaky. "ra, can''t we just talk


    this through...?"”
