On the day we graduated from college, we decided to get married, but her family was very opposed to it.

Especially her sister, Gianna Smith, looked down on common people like me, spoke in a sarcastic tone, and sometimes even openly mocked me who came to curry favor with her family because they were rich.

But only Fiona and I knew the truth.

Our friendship was pure, which later developed into love. During this process, I didn't know that she was from a wealthy family.

I was very lost during that time.

In order to take my feelings into consideration, Fiona ignored her family's opposition, secretly went to church with me and married me.

Her parents were angry when they found it out. Until Fiona got the pregnancy test report, her parents finally accepted the fact.

But they still looked down on me. Many times, I was rejected by her family. No matter how enthusiastic I was, I was always ridiculed and humiliated by them.

At the beginning, Fiona would often comfort and encourage me.

But gradually, as time went by, especially after giving birth, she became colder and colder, drifted further and further away from me, and even had an unclear relationship with Erik.

I tried to win her back many times and became more proactive, gentle and caring.

But all this seemed to have no effect. Instead, it made her disgusted. She started to complain about me. Sometimes she even compared me to Erik and said that I was useless.

I was completely disheartened until my mother passed away in the hospital.

Only then did I fully understand that the pure feelings between us had long gone, and that special feeling between us no longer existed.

This relationship had deteriorated, and there was no need to continue.

It was late at night, and I had already gotten used to going to bed at eleven o'clock.

Instead of going back to our room, I chose other room.

Now, even when we were together, there was no love.

The next morning, Fiona and I opened the doors facing each other almost at the same time.

She looked at me for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you sleep in this room last night?"

"Is it necessary?"

I asked.

Fiona said with an unhappy look, "You are always so stingy and never be considerate of me at all!"

I said, "Yes, I don't understand you.

"My mother was in the hospital and wanted to see Andy for the last time!

"Erik said you fell asleep at his house!

"I've really been thinking carefully about how I can understand you and forgive you! But I can't figure it out!"

I walked straight away. When I reached the door, I turned around and asked, "For the divorce agreement, are you going to find a lawyer, or should I go?"

Fiona stood there and looked at me quietly. "Whatever!"

On the weekend. I went to the law office and had the lawyer help draw up the divorce papers.

After finishing this matter, I returned home again.

When I was about to open the door with the key, I hesitated.

I might never want to come back here again!

I pulled out the key and chose to go back to my house.

The house was empty. After Audrey's death, I was the only one left at home.

I dug out some photos from a few years ago from a drawer.

This was a photo of me, Audrey and Andy. In the photo, Audrey was smiling happily and kindly, but Andy had a sad and unhappy look.

Audrey was happiest when Andy was born.

But Fiona's family was too strong. They told my mother directly that Andy would not have a good future in her family, so Andy had to live with them.

They were responsible for raising and educating Andy. Audrey, as Andy's grandmother, could only visit him once a month.

Although Audrey felt lost at first, she was always very happy every time the day came when she could see Andy.

But as Andy grew up, he was educated like Fiona's family, despising the poor and looked down on Audrey.

I once got so angry about this that I slapped Andy hard.

But in the end, I was ostracized by their family. They called me a good-for-nothing.

Even Fiona said to me, "You are making a big deal out of nothing. It's normal for Andy to feel a little bit repulsive since he didn't grow up with Audrey!"

Andy was not raised properly by them.

They were the same. Andy even rejected me.

He might hate not only his poor grandmother, but also his poor father.

Once upon a time, Audrey was so happy that I had found such a beautiful, wealthy, and excellent wife. She had showed off.

But since she had a grandson, she should have been happier, but perhaps she was no longer happy.

Perhaps it was because of her long-term depression that she passed away early...

One o'clock in the morning.

Fiona called me when she saw that I hadn't returned home. "Where are you? Why don't you go home?"

Facing her question, I said calmly, "I asked a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement today."

On the phone, Fiona was silent for a moment and then asked, "We're not getting a divorce, okay?"

Her words once again made my heart ache.

I thought I could totally not care.

But how could a relationship of so many years just disappear?

People were so complicated and full of contradictions.

I didn't answer her and just hung up the phone.

A few days later.

She called me again, said it was her mother's birthday, and asked me to go over.

I had no intention of going there.

But after looking at the divorce agreement in my hand, I decided to go and get it settled no matter what.

I came to her mother's old house again.

In the past, whenever I came to this villa, I would feel depressed.

But I didn't have that feeling now.

Maybe it was the divorce agreement in my hand that freed me and allowed me to no longer be bound by anything!

I arrived very late.

The house was already bustling with guests coming and going. Everyone was celebrating Fiona's mother's birthday, presenting gifts and congratulations, and the younger generations were asking for foods.

I was coming.

Everyone made me way.

I walked up to Fiona's mother with the divorce agreement.

Fiona and Gianna stood behind their mother. Erik was also present.

When my mother-in-law saw that I came so late, she looked unhappy.

As always, she scolded me with arrogance, "Why are you so late? Do you still care about me?"

Fiona stood behind her mother and said with a smile, "Mom, calm down. Ralph must have come so late to prepare a gift for you and give you a surprise."

After hearing this, my mother-in-law's expression softened a little. She asked coldly, "What gift did you bring?"

I smiled and handed the divorce agreement in my hand to my mother-in-law. "This may be the best gift I have given you in these years. This time, you should be satisfied."

When she saw "divorce agreement" on the paper, her face changed drastically.

The guests and relatives around us were all silent, looking at Fiona and me in disbelief.

Fiona's face suddenly turned pale...
