Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Miranda’s heart felt empty as she stared at the guest room’s unbudging, closed door.

In the past, Miranda had enjoyed Clarence’s flattery.

She had enjoyed Clarence’s docileness.

She had enjoyed Clarence’s submissiveness.

Now that Clarence had done a 180-degree-change with his attitude, Miranda was finding it a little hard to accept.

When she remembered all she had done to him, the hint of regret in her heart grew and grew. ‘Should I apologize to him?’

At six in the evening, Clarence received a phone call from Miranda.

“I’m waiting for you at the Love Sea Restaurant.”

“What do you want?” Clarence frowned.

Miranda replied coolly, “I want to have dinner!”

Miranda hung up once she had finished her sentence.

After giving it some thought, Clarence took a shower and drove to Love Sea Restaurant in his Ferrari.

It was a Western-style restaurant that was extremely popular in Mediterranean City. Besides being the place every internet celebrity wanted to visit and take pictures in, it was also a popular place for young couples to go on dates.

When Clarence arrived at Love Sea restaurant, he consulted the message Miranda had sent him and saw her dressed in a red dress.

Miranda’s face was made up beautifully tonight.

She had a gorgeous face and a well-defined nose.

Her mouth was enticingly small, and she had eyes that sparkled like the night sky.

“Is that what you’re wearing?” Miranda stared at Clarence’s outfit, which was a hodgepodge of pieces bought from random stalls. It could not have cost more than two hundred dollars.

Clarence flopped into the chair opposite Miranda. “Does my clothing make a difference?

“After all, I’m nothing more than a pathetic fool to you!

“You’ve never treated me as your husband.”

“Is what you’re saying really necessary right now?” Miranda asked with a gloomy expression on her face.

Clarence laughed mockingly. “You’re right. I’m an unnecessary person, so of course it is!”

“Clarence, I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Then what did you mean?” Clarence laughed as he threw her own question back at her.

Miranda explained, “I’ve already told you that nothing is going on between me and Sheldon!”

“He’s just my ex. I haven’t contacted him since you and I got married.”

“Do you think I’m blind?” Clarence shook his head in disappointment.

Miranda bit down on her lip. “This is what happened. Sheldon returned home from abroad a couple of days ago, and he invited me out for a meeting.”

“He asked you out right after he got back home?

“I’m finding it difficult to believe you guys were not in contact, if he did that.” Clarence poured himself a glass of red wine and finished the whole thing in a single gulp.

The alcohol burned his throat as it traveled down his neck. His heart felt as if it was burning too.

Miranda sighed, “How am I going to get you to believe me?!”

“I remember I used to say that exact sentence to you all the time too,” Clarence said as he smiled teasingly.

“You… Can you not speak like that?” Miranda’s chair scraped against the floor as she stood up.

If this had happened in the past, Clarence would have immediately shrunk back and apologized.

However, Clarence was a different person today. He held his glass firmly as he gazed calmly at Miranda.

Helpless, the only thing Miranda could do was sit back down slowly. “I’m sorry. I apologize.

“I know I’ve misunderstood you a lot in the past.”

“Okay.”

Clarence nodded slowly. “Anything else you want to add?”

“No,” Miranda said with her head lowered.

Clarence nodded. “Alright, then we’ll get separated after we finish this meal.”

Miranda’s petite body shuddered violently. In the past, she had always been the one to bring it up.

Now, Miranda felt a sliver of panic in her heart when she heard Clarence discussing their separation.

Over the last three years, she had grown used to Clarence and everything that he gave her.

Miranda did not know what to do now that Clarence wanted a divorce.

Miranda raised her head, her eyes moist as she said frustratedly, “Do you want to divorce me so you can be with Cecilia Shelby?”

Tears flowed.

Clarence’s heart inexplicably tightened!

He stood up slowly and walked over to Miranda to wipe her tears.

In the past, Miranda would have lost her temper if Clarence were to touch even a strand of her hair.

However, today she did not make a move to stop him, and allowed Clarence to wipe her tears dry.

When he finished, Clarence sat back down slowly. “Don’t cry.”

“Can we not get divorced?” Miranda sounded like she was pleading.

“I’m sorry. I see no hope for this marriage,” Clarence said as he shook his head.

“As a man, I’m willing to do anything and everything for the woman I love.

“However, your actions have crossed a line.

“I’ve done so much for you over the past three years!

“I never said anything back when the Murphy family insulted me by calling me a useless, pathetic fool.

“Even you thought I was a useless, pathetic fool…

“You would gang up with the rest of the Murphy family to mock and belittle me.

“A husband and wife should stick together through thick and through thin, but I’m worth less than a dog to the Murphy family.

“Even a dog would’ve gotten some kind of treat, right?

“Armstrong Murphy knew he had misunderstood me, but he looked right past my dignity so that he could protect his favorite son-in-law, Kaysen Wall’s, image!

“Peony Wanda knew that Kaysen’s statue of Mother Mary was fake, but she did not blame Kaysen for it. Instead, she blamed me for exposing the fact that the statue was fake!

“To your oldest sister Belle Murphy and her family, I’ll forever be a useless, good-for-nothing fool.

“To your second sister Melody Murphy and her family, I’ll always be a pathetic fool they can mock whenever they like.

“To you, Miranda Murphy, I’ll only ever be someone you were forced to marry because of your grandfather’s orders.

“Have you ever once looked me in the eyes, over these last three years?

“Do you know when my birthday is?

“Do you know what my favorite food is?

“Do you know what hobbies I have?

“To you, I’m just someone who didn’t even manage to graduate middle school.

“An incompetent fool who can’t even recite the alphabet from start to finish!

“You find it disgusting to spare me even a glance.

“Do you know how much my heart aches when I watch William Keynes drive you home every day?

“I thought you would pay more attention to me if I treated you better.

“Haha, I was wrong. All I got was even crueler mockery from you.

“Sometimes, all it takes to defeat a man is just one final blow, his last straw!

“I finally understood everything when I saw you with Sheldon Clark!

“You’ve won, Miranda Murphy.

“I’m the one who has lost!

“Let’s get a divorce!”

Tears welled up in Clarence’s eyes as he spoke, but his voice was exceedingly calm.

It was so calm that Miranda’s heart felt empty in response to it.

“Boo hoo hoo...”

Miranda lost it completely. “There’s nothing going on at all with Sheldon Clark. Why are you treating me this way?”
