Chapter 759
Esther gazed at Bradley with steady eyes, her expression calm and composed. She said, “Yes, I wanta divorce.”
“No regrets?”
“Absolutely not,” Esther replied.
A trace of anger flickered in Bradley’s cold eyes. He handed his ID to the staff and said, “Let’s get thisdone together.”
Upon giving his ID, he took a seat next to Esther, and an invisible weight pressed down on her. Estherinstinctively moved away from him as though another moment by his side might freeze her.
The staff processed two divorce certificates before Esther and Bradley. The new divorce certificateswere stamped, while the old marriage certificates received a simple “invalid” seal.

Esther left with Tanya, paying no heed to Bradley, who watched her departing figure with a fierce gaze.A shadow of melancholy crept in, and he exuded a threatening aura.
Esther carefully placed the divorce and voided marriage certificates into her bag. When she looked up,she saw Mandy standing by the car.
Mandy had evidently noticed Esther and hurried over, saying softly, “Congratulations, Esther.”
In the past, seeing Mandy and Bradley together had pained Esther, making her feel bitter and jealous.However, after experiencing life and death, she felt nothing but serenity when she saw them back
together.
“Thank you, Ms. Pendleton.”
Mandy and Esther were not friends, and their relationship didn’t allow for friendly interaction.
“Actually…” Mandy glanced at Bradley, who was at the entrance, and spoke gently. “Esther, from anoutsider’s perspective, I think Bradley loves you. He’s just too arrogant, or perhaps too proud, tounderstand what love truly means.”
“He might love others, but he won’t love me.” Esther no longer believed that Bradley was capable ofloving someone. At least, she had once given her all and eagerly tried to warm his cold heart, only tobe disappointed.
As that disappointment accumulated, they buried her once-passionate love.
“Goodbye.”
Esther got into her car. As she did, she looked outside and saw Bradley and Mandy heading toward thecounter to obtain their marriage certificate.
She gently touched her heart, feeling its steady beats beneath her palm. There was no pain orheartache—her heart was filled with the boundless joy of divorce.
