His Heart Spoke Too Late

It has been 99 times that Henry and I have filed the application for divorce and then withdrawn it.

Each time before finalizing the divorce, Henry always waits for me to humbly beg him to stay married.

I turned down the offer to be the chief composer at a famous studio in Vienna because Henry didn't want a long-distance relationship.

I deleted all my male friends because Henry didn't want me to be too friendly to them.

I stopped wearing red lipstick, composing, and traveling alone, because he said married women should stay at home instead of being impulsive.

Only after I finally manage to appease him will he allow me to withdraw the divorce application.

After my 100th divorce application, as I was leaving, the deputy clerk asked me curiously:

"So, when are you going to withdraw your application this time?"

I looked at Henry's cold back in front of me, forced to smile with tears, and told myself in my heart—

This time, there will be no withdrawal of the application.

After the 30-day cooling-off period, we'll be officially divorced.

But why did his love only find its voice when I had already walked away?

...

Outside the district court, the wind blew.

As soon as I walked out, I saw Henry get into that black Maybach without even looking back, not even giving me a glance.

I walked slowly along the sidewalk with the cold wind rushing in, my heart feeling like a gash that had been torn open.

"Screech…"

The piercing sound of brakes suddenly rang out behind me.

Before I could react, I was knocked to the ground by a car.

My knees burned with pain, and my palms were scraped raw.

I looked up and saw Henry's group of good buddies jumping out of the car.
