Love and Hate Dragged on Endlessly, I'll Use The Rest of My Life to Forget It

[The male lead gave her a way out! I knew it! The deeply affectionate male lead will never give up!]

[The female lead, refuse him quickly! He's trying to keep you around! Don't be so stubborn!]

Leon had a particular habit that made women avoid him like the plague. As soon as I approached him, Leon couldn't resist touching the belt at his waist. So, if I spent the night with him, I would be battered and bruised after that.

And yet … the moment my eyes met Mason's, I kept my smile and said, "I agree."

Upon hearing this, Leon whistled, immediately wrapped his arm around my waist and prepared to take me away.

The comments section in front of me erupted once more.

[What the heck are you doing, Female lead? Can’t you see the male lead is testing you?]

[Female lead, stop it already! If you turn around and kiss the male lead, he’ll give you his life in a flash! Not only that, he won't let Leon touch you!]

I ignored their comment and quickened my pace.

Just as I was about to step out of the villa, Mason’s icy voice rang out behind me, "Emily, I, Mason, don't accept a slut. After you sleep with Leon, we'll meet at the City Hall right away!"

We had known each other for years and this was not the first time Mason had threatened me with the word "divorce".

Mason knew that because my biological parents didn’t love me, I cherished the love he gave me. So, every time he mentioned divorce, I would suffer inner turmoil and insomnia, constantly apologizing until I earned his forgiveness.  

However, this time, when Mason said divorce, I placed my hand over my heart …  not a flicker of sorrow there. There was only a sense of relief that things had finally come to this point.

So … divorce? Absolutely!

After all, the man that I had loved for seven years still could not love me back. So, wasn't divorce the only answer?

I turned around and gave Mason a look before smiling nonchalantly, then said calmly, "Alright then ….  See you tomorrow morning at the City Hall's entrance."

Mason's pupil suddenly contracted and a sudden unease gripped his chest. He felt as if something was about to leave him forever and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

"Emily …." His mouth moved, as if he wanted to say more.

However, the next second, Nova suddenly clung tightly to his arm and said loudly, “Mason, Emily's tactic of pretending hard to get is so low level!"

“If she divorces you, who else would want her?” Then she added, "She's just bluffing!"

The fleeting panic in Mason’s eyes vanished in a flash like a burst soap bubble without any trace and it was replaced with deep contempt and the irritation of being humiliated in public.

“Emily, did you hear what Nova said?”  he asked.

“Don't use such trashy tactics because I'm not falling for your tricks!”  

I didn't bother to argue with him. I was being led by Leon into the car, ready to turn around and leave when ….

Dozens of wedding photos of me and Mason fluttered out from the second-floor windows of the villa into the air. They were flung out one by one by Nova, after Mason handed them to her one after another.

The scene was too much for me, so I turned my head away.

However, the next second, my underwear landed directly in the convertible.

Since childhood, I was always the curvy one and I have always been conscious of the lewd looks others threw at me.

Yet, Nova picked up my underwear and held it up for everyone to see, then hung it on a flower pot.

"Emily, is this thing underwear or a tea cozy?" She added, "You're so curvy, it’s a shame you’re not working on a dairy farm.”

I looked at Mason, who was letting her be rude toward me and felt a wave of nausea.

It’s hard to believe that he was the same man who once sincerely proposed to me and swore on heaven that I would be the only woman in his life.  

He said I would be his one and only, his first and last woman.  

And this… this was how he protected the woman he claimed to love?

Leaning over the car window, I couldn’t help but double over and vomit.
