Chapter 184
As their lips and tongues intertwined, Moira struggled weakly, finally collapsing in his arms due to a lack of breath.
Conrad supported her and ended the kiss reluctantly. He then stepped back, gently tucking her fallen strands of hair behind her ear, his voice hoarse, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have kept it from you”
Moira tried to push him away.
But he tightened his grip, continuing. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. My family situation is a bit complicated, and I wanted to sort out some things before telling you everything?
Moira pursed her lips, looked at him for a moment, and then said calmly. “Conrad, you know very well that with your complicated family situation, I simply can’t measure up. If you truly feel sorry, you should come with me next Monday to get a divorce. From then on, you go your way, and I’ll go mine. We part as strangers, or better yet, we don’t meet again. That’s the best”
Conrad grabbed her chin again, squinting his eyes. Didn’t you say you liked me! Why do you always talk about divorce? Don’t you have any
attachment to me at all!”
Moira was silent for half a minute before speaking softly, “Conrad, we’ve been married for over four months. Even though it was a flash marriage. I’ve been quite happy during this time.”
Conrad’s eyes softened. “Moira, I also…”
Tve been very honest with you. You know about my family, my job, and my friends. But you, you even registered with a fake name.”
Moira raised her head and smiled self–deprecatingly, “Conrad, do you know how I felt these past few days when you didn’t answer my calls? I didn’t even know where to find you. I waited for you at your company but couldn’t see you. I wanted to ask someone else to help me contact you, but i didn’t know any of your friend. Can you imagine how I felt at that time?”
Conrad’s mouth moved as if to speak, but she quickly continued. “When you wanted to get married, you could use the name Virgil to register with me at the Civil Affairs Bureau. But when I want a divorce, I can’t even see you. Is this fair to me“”
By the end. Moira’s eyes were already red, her voice choked, and her face was even colder. “Conrail, your wealth and power mean that I will never be on equal footing with you. I don’t like it when we argue, you disappear, leaving me to search the world for you. I also don’t like being harassed by your fiancée
Her pupils were dark, and the whites of her eyes were tinged with red. The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, but she had to suppress I. No matter how hard she tried to control herself, tears still flowed out.
Conrad frowned, reaching out to wipe her tears, but she turned her face away, avoiding his touch
She took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then looked back at his face, speaking calmly again. “You know your family won’t accept me and I don’t know why you chose someone like me in the first place… But at least in this marriage, I gave my heart and have a clear conscience. If you ask me if I have any attachments. I can tell you definitely yes, but so what? If we’re not right for each other, we re not.”
Conrad looked down at her, the darkness in his eyes swirling, but eventually, it returned to calm.
He let go of her, stepped back two steps, and distanced himself from her.
“It’s late, go upstairs,” he said
With red eyes, she asked, “Conrad, what will it take for you to divorce me? You don’t even like me, why not let me go?”
Conrad was silent for a moment. “Give me some time to think about ir”
Moira naturally disagreed. “You said the same thing before, but you.”
“I won’t ignore your calls,”
Moira paused, wanting to say something else, but Conrad added. “Even if there are special circumstances. I will call you back later.”
At this point, there was nothing more to say.
Moira pursed her lips. How long do you plan to think this time?”
“I’ll get back to you as soon as possible”
Moira hesitated for a moment, but she had no choice but to agree. Then, she walked towards the residential building without looking back
