My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

“I don’t know what I should talk to you about, Chloe,” Leonel replied frankly. “All the questions in my head seem spinning, and I can’t articulate them.”

Chloe remained silent.

“But at least I’m satisfied to see that you’re okay. That’s the most important thing.”

“Thank God, I’m still protected.”

“I won’t stay silent about Josh, Sa. I promise.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Chloe lifted her gaze slowly and looked into Leonel’s black eyes. “Even without your insisting, I will provide many testimonies and reports.”

“But at that time, you were still my wife. Who wouldn’t be heartbroken to see someone playing with someone else’s life so recklessly? Especially when it was you.”

“I will take care of it myself.”

Leonel still wanted to continue the conversation, but his lips were sealed shut. They fell silent again, Chloe savoring her coffee while Leonel played with the handle of his cup. There was no interest in sipping the coffee he had ordered.

“How is your relationship with Darren?”

Chloe raised her eyes again, looking at Leonel with skepticism. She wondered if Leonel was asking this. But seeing Leonel’s unwavering gaze, Chloe gave a slight smile.

“Good. So far, we’re good.”

“Do you intend to be serious with him?”

“Does it concern you, Leonel?”

Leonel stumbled. “Well… I don’t want you to choose the wrong partner.”

“Like before? Where I agreed without thinking if I would be happy?”

Leonel erased the remnants of his smile. The words he wanted to say were folded back and left unspoken.

“All this time, Darren and I are fine. Don’t worry. Apart from the heartbreak and immense pain, you caused me, you also gave me the experience of men. At least I can say thank you for that?”

Leonel lowered his head.

“No need to regret what has happened. If I keep dwelling on our past, I won’t be able to be here. We were sitting and talking, albeit awkwardly, with you. But I’ve learned. Maybe we were just not meant to be.”

“I truly apologize,” Leonel whispered.

“At least your apology is sincere, and you show remorse.”

“That’s all I can do for you, Chloe.”

Chloe sighed softly. She glanced at the watch encircling her wrist. It was already three o’clock in the afternoon. “Is there anything else you want to talk about? If not, I have to go home soon.”

“Do I still have a chance to get closer to you?”

Chloe looked at Leonel with surprise.

“Who knows, maybe we were meant to be. It’s just that yesterday was our time to learn together, especially for me to change and become a better person.”

The woman fell silent.

“Give me one more chance, Chloe,” Leonel pleaded.

“Unfortunately… It’s too late for you to do that, Leonel.”

The reading of the prosecution’s case against Josh and his accomplices was long and complicated. It experienced several delays because the witnesses presented were said to need to be increased.

But Chris didn’t stay silent. A team of experienced lawyers also assisted him to ensure that Josh would spend a very long time behind bars.

Today, the courtroom was also filled with journalists and the Grisham family. Chloe and Darren were present, faithfully accompanying the proceedings. Ester was also present as a critical witness.

She was also implicated in the defamation charges and was involved in causing harm to others. At first, she didn’t accept it, but the evidence pointed to her.

She couldn’t say much. The agency couldn’t do anything either because Ester was acting on her behalf for her gain. Which now clearly harmed her.

Ester Gisela was a photo model who liked to twist the facts. In pursuit of her goals, she defamed the people she loved and collaborated with others to facilitate a grand plan that harmed many parties. She also tried to snatch happiness and be the third person in Leonel Grisham’s marriage, which was initially rumored to be alluring to Ester.

She couldn’t deny everything proven in front of the judge. In front of the journalists and Chloe, she said with a lowered gaze that all the accusations were true.

The journalists caused a commotion in the courtroom, but it was later controlled as the judge wanted the trial to reach a verdict.

Ester Gisela was sentenced to five years and a seven hundred-million-dollar fine. Meanwhile, Josh William was charged with multiple offenses and sentenced to thirty years without parole. On the other hand, Mountain demanded a penalty of tens of billion dollars for the damages they suffered.

In contrast, Emir Khan, the assistant whom Josh trusted the most, was sentenced to ten years in prison, with a one-year reduction in sentence for good behavior.

The same applied to the people involved in the staged accident involving Chloe and her subsequent kidnapping.

For Chloe, it was enough. They all had their trials.

She didn’t want Beverly Hills or any more drama. She wanted her life to return to peace. That’s all. Wherever the hand that tightly held hers was, that would accompany her.

That was her hope.

She still felt her heart because, for the second time in her relationship with the opposite sex, she had to understand her and her partner’s desires truly.

Her marriage to Leonel had taught her valuable lessons.

“Shall we go home?” Darren asked with a beaming smile.

“Yes. Let Tia inform me if she cooked soup. Do you want some?”

“I would prefer your cooking, Sa, but because of the trial, Tia’s cooking will do.”

Chloe laughed, and Darren joined her in the laughter.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Agatha wore a sad expression. She also looked at her son, who had directed his gaze at the woman he loved.

“Regrets always come later, Leonel.”

Leonel jerked in surprise, then chuckled in response to his mother. “At least I know what model accompanies Chloe now.”

“If parents oppose something, there must be a reason. You, on the other hand!” Agatha couldn’t say much. Even hitting her son’s shoulder would be useless.

It was all too late.
