After going back home, I quickly booked a ticket for seven days later to fly to England.
Right after that, I directly called the lawyer.
“Attorney Harper, I want a divorce from him, Make him leave this marriage with nothing，the sooner the better.”
The person on the other side answered with full confidence.
“Miss Russo, do not worry when I take care of things. In seven days, you can get the divorce papers. I promise to make that trash lose everything, not even a single coin left.”
I ended the call, picked up a can of gasoline, and walked straight to the backyard, without any pause, as I lit the lighter and threw it into the field of flowers.
The fire covered my eyes.
The rose garden in the backyard had been brought from overseas at high cost when we married. Over the years, I carefully cared for them, like protecting the once-strong love between us.
But now, I no longer wanted anything connected to him!
When he returned late, he happened to see this scene.
The strong fire burned in front of him; at that moment, his eyes showed shock, and he even stepped forward, trying to put out the fire with his bare hands.
Seeing that the fire was too large and could not be saved, he turned and shouted at me in anger. “Are you crazy? Why did you burn it?”
I had feared he might realize I planned to go away, bringing trouble.
I made myself remain composed and faced him. “I suddenly got an idea, I want to grow sunflowers here, so I just burned it to turn it into fertilizer.”
After hearing that, he regained control and stayed calm, appearing unconcerned.
“As long as you enjoy it.”
I did not glance at him anymore, and as I moved to walk away, two warm and strong hands circled my waist.
“About what happened today, are you still upset?”
Why would I feel upset? Was someone who kept betraying really worth my anger?
I turned back, saw his beautiful peach blossom eyes, bringing up a memory.
“Evie, even if I lose everything, are you still willing to marry me?”
I smiled and pressed a kiss on the tear mark under his eye and said, “Even if you end up as a poor man with nothing, I still want to stay with you!”
His eyes looked certain, his expression honest as he made that promise to me.
“In this life and the next life, I won't hurt you. If I break it, I will surely die without a complete body!”
That promise felt too serious, falling on us who were still so young, we couldn't carry it.
