Dumping My Billionaire Ex

Trene!" Sharon called out

As the girl heard that, her face lit up. She ran toward Sharon and exclaimed, "Mommy!"

Sharon bent down to embrace her daughter, Irene Stanley.

Alanna approached Irene. "Hello, Irene. I'm Alanna Jensen. Can I be your friend?"

Irene was Sharon and Edwin's child, also referred to as "weetie" by Alanna. She was conceived after Sharon and Edwin's pre-marriage encounter. Sharon had given birth to her after marrying Edwin.

For four years, Edwin had never touched Sharon, and their relationship was frosty, which contributed to Irene's timid nature. Considering the unfavorable family environment, Sharon had to enroll Irene in a full-time daycare center. Therefore, Irene only came home on weekends.

Irene looked uncertainly at Alanna until Sharon gave her an encouraging look. Then she nodded shyly. "Okay?"

"Great, I will treat you to a feast" Alanna took Trente into her arms and asked Sharon to drive.

Sharon didn't hesitate and took the driver's seat. After all of them got in the car, she stepped on the gas pedal, feeling the joy of driving in the wind after a long absence.

Shortly after they left, the Stanley family's car also arrived at St. Judas Kindergarten. On the passenger seat, Edwin, busy with paperwork as usual, kept his head down with a stoic expression

The butler got out alone. Then he returned soon after and said, "The teacher said Mrs. Stanley has already picked up Irene.

Edwin was stunned for a moment. His eyes turned cold as he heard that

"It's obvious Mrs. Stanley doesn't really want to divorce you. Taking Irene should be a signal to you that she wants to come back the butler said, relieved. He stared at Edwin and waited for Edwin's order to bring Sharon back.

"Go home," Edwin replied coldly and frowned. He wanted Sharon to come back herself, to let her know that playing tricks with him and making a fuss wouldn't work. She had better simply live honestly. In the blink of an eye, thirty days had gone by. Tomorrow, Sharon and Edwin would collect the divorce decree.

Perhaps because she had already accepted the reality of the d

divorce, Sharon appeared extremely calm. After putting Irene to bed, she and Alanna sat in the living room, drinking wine and chatting.

During this time, Sharon had spent almost all her time with Irene, trying to make up for the years of neglect. Seeing Irene's smile grow day by day, she felt relieved and more convinced that leaving Edwin was the right decision.

"People are curio

curious why I came back, but it's simple. This is my home, where I belong. As they talked, a sweet voice suddenly sounded.

Sharon looked up at the television. On the screen, Tilda was smiling charmingly, her eyes full of affection. Flashbulbs blinked, many reporters standing opposite her.

"So, Ma. Gill, you have found your man, right here in our city!" The reporters, ever sensitive, caught onto her implications quickly.

Tilda smiled but remained silent. Her happy expression spoke volumes.

"Back then, with all that scandal, if it weren't for you, she'd be ruined by now. Yet, here she is, shamelessly coming back to wreck your family. Shame on her Seeing Tilda, Alanna couldn't hold back her anger. "That disgusting woman! Edwin actually treats her like a treasure and falls in love with her again. Shameless!" She slammed her glass onto the table. If it were me, I'd always choose you over her. Sharon listened, smiling wryly. Perhaps that's de difference between love and not loving."

In Sharon's view, Edwin forgave Tilla's betrayal four years ago because he loved her. He didn't love Sharon, so even if there were hidden reasaTIS behind the "forced marriage" four years ago, he couldn't be bothered to listen.

"Even if you divorced, you can't let these scumbags off the book." Alanna was straightforward and clear-cut in her penonality. With her hands our her hips, she exuded a commanding aura.

Sharon appeared more indifferent. Whether they live well or not has nothing to do with me. I just want to live happily with Irene." However, the thought of nos having told Irene about the divorce weighed heavily on her mind.

10:58 AM

The next morning, Edwin walked downstairs as usual and meticulously adjusted his sleeves, his expression blank.

"Mrs. Stanley is calling for you, Mr. Stanley. The binler approached with a smile.

Edwin took the call but remained silent.

On the other end, Sharon's voice was calm and distant. "When are you free? Im at the cafe below your office."

Edwin glanced at the calendar on the wall and thought, 'After enduring for more than twenty days, does she finally give in

Sharon suggested meeting at the cafe, so Edwin assumed she wanted to apologize and make amends. He didn't respond and hung up without listening to the rest.

Not hearing his response, Sharon couldn't figure out what he meant. Although she knew Edwin would definitely agree to the divorce, she hoped for a quick resolution and decided to wait for him downstairs at his company

When Edwin arrived by car. he immediately spotted Sharon outside the company building. He snorted disdainfully and frowned with disgust. He thought Sharon's current eagerness to apologize for reconciliation was as repulsive as her arrogant behavior when she initially caused a scene.

As Sharon saw him, her face lit up. "You're here:

Edwin's expression remained cold. "If only you knew better from the start."

Sharon paused, not quite understanding his meaning. But she didn't bother to ask, simply saying, "Let's talk at the café.

Edwin had no mood to waste time with her. "Whatever it is Just say it here."

"Fine, Sharon replied. Since he didn't care about keeping their divorce private, she didn't mind either.

Sharon quickly opened her tablet and then connected to a video interface. The city hall has introduced a video working system to make it easier for everyone. The staff can venty our identities through video, and once we confirm, they'll send the divorce decree straight to our homes. It saves the hassle of going to collect it. To be honest, this service was extremely thoughtful.

Edwin paused, taken aback. He thought Sharon was here to apologize and reconcile, but she was here to get the divorce decree.

"Edwin, Sharon, are you sure you want a divorce?" A middle-aged woman's face appeared on the screen.

Because the woman used a microphone and the tablet's sound was loud when played through the speakers, the pedestrians passing by on their way to work all turned back, surprised by the announcement. "Sure." Sharon pressed the confirmation button without hesitation.

Edwin was speechless. He looked at the button and then at Sharon. His eyes darkened.
