“How did I work hard? The proof was all there for anyone to see. Unless Mr. Warner could change things all on his
own, it’s pretty usual for a judge to rule in favor of the divorce. By the way, do you want to see the judgment?”
Esther eagerly looked at her and said, “Yes.”
“Okay, let’s go inside and wait for a bit.”
Tanya and Esther headed to the waiting area and sat on the benches. Tanya handed the judgment to Esther.
She gazed at the document, shocked, and asked, “So, with this, can I really get the divorce certificate?”
“Absolutely.”
Esther carefully went through the judgment page by page and examined every word, finding her unwavering
determination to escape this marriage in every line.

registration. One side was filled with sadness, the other with joy. It was the same world but with different life
experiences.
“They look so happy.”
Upon hearing Tanya’s remark, Esther also observed the girls in the distance. She sighed. “No matter the final result,
the feeling at this moment is an unforgettable joy.”
“Indeed.” Tanya nodded.
Esther couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of those girls with radiant smiles. They could love openly and
wholeheartedly, even if it meant facing suffering or heartbreak. At that moment, they held a steadfast passion for
love and happiness.
But she… She would never love someone again without reservation, as she did when she was young. Nor would she
give her heart to someone only to receive a touch of pity in return.
“It’s our turn,” Tanya reminded Esther.
Esther turned her gaze away and walked over to the counter.
Tanya handed the judgment to the staff, and they asked after a quick glance, “Divorce?”
“Yes,” Esther replied, a little nervous, fearing they might not proceed with the divorce since she was alone.
The staff examined Esther for a moment, took her ID card, and carefully checked the contents of the divorce
judgment.
“Congratulations.”
Esther was slightly surprised to hear that.

“Thank you.”
“Please wait for a moment.”
“Of course.”
Esther breathed a sigh of relief. With the divorce judgment in hand, things were going smoother than she had
expected.
The staff didn’t ask any more questions but simply followed the procedure to process her divorce certificate.
“Hold on.”
When Esther heard the familiar voice, she was alarmed to see Bradley approaching her.
A dreadful feeling coursed through her.
Tanya thought Bradley had come to cause trouble again and stood in front of Esther, speaking firmly. “Mr. Warner,
you and Ms. Quill…”
Bradley presented his ID, his sharp eyes fixed on Esther’s face. “Esther, I’m offering you one final chance. Are you
certain about wanting to divorce me?”
