Chapter 2 Let’s Get a Divorce
Danica was looking at him, too. She repeated softly yet firmly, “Let’s get a divorce, Wayne. Do you like this birthday gift?”
Wayne said expressionlessly, “Are you making a scene because I didn’t come back for the birthday?”
She smiled, “Jennifer’s back, right?”
Hearing Jennifer’s name, Wayne scoffed coldly.
He walked toward Danica step by step. “Does that bother you?”
He was the youngest titan of the business world, carrying an overwhelming presence, which was the result of power, status, and wealth. As he approached Danica, she instinctively took a step back.
In the next second, the icy chill of the wall seeped through her clothes as she realized she had nowhere to retreat.
Just then, Wayne’s shadow engulfed her as he propped one hand against the wall behind her, sealing her in with his broad chest.
Wayne looked down at her, sneering, “Everyone in Marinburg knew Jennifer was the one I was supposed to marry. Didn’t you know that when you went all out to marry me in her place? If you weren’t bothered back then, why are you making a fuss right now?”
Danica’s face turned pale.
He was right. Jennifer was supposed to marry him.
She would never have had a chance to be his wife if it weren’t for that
accident.

She’d never forget the undisguised disappointment and coldness in his eyes the day he woke up from the coma and saw her.

They had slept in separate rooms since their marriage, and he had never touched her.
She knew very well that Wayne loved Jennifer.
But…
She gazed at his handsome face, which gradually overlapped with that of the youthful boy from her childhood, and thought, “Wayne, you really don’t remember me?
“It seems I’m the only one who’s stuck in the past.
“Forget it.
“I’ve loved you for years. It’s time to let our three–year marriage mark the ending of my love for you.”
Suppressing the bitterness and pain in her heart, she said, “Wayne, let’s end this sexless marriage.”
Hearing this, Wayne arched an eyebrow and repeated, “Sexless marriage?”
He lifted his hand, pinched her delicate chin, and pressed against her rosy lips with his thumb, saying suggestively, “So, that’s why you want a divorce. Are you that horny?”
A rosy hue spread across Danica’s cheeks instantly.
That wasn’t what she meant!
As he exerted more force to press and rub her lips, she was stunned–it had never occurred to her that such a handsome, refined man could be
this frivolous.

He was actually playing her lips with his thumb.

It was the first time Wayne had looked at Danica at such a close distance. She wore a black–and–white dress and a pair of oversized, black–framed glasses all year long, looking no different from an aged woman.
It was only now that he noticed her palm–sized face, her breathtakingly beautiful features, as well as her crystal–clear, doe–like eyes hidden behind those glasses.
She had soft lips.
The spot where his thumb pressed would appear bloodless, but once he unpressed it, it’d bounce back and seem even more rosy.
Somehow, he found the urge to kiss her.
His gaze deepened as he said, “I’m surprised, Mrs. Hamilton. It turns out you’re so desperate for sex.”
Immediately, a loud smack rang out.
Danica slapped across his face.
Apparently, she had exerted great force–his face tilted to the side.
Furious, Danica trembled all over, thinking, “How dare he humiliate me like this! Sure enough, loving too humbly breeds only self–degradation.”
She snapped, feeling both humiliated and furious, “I know you still can’t get over Jennifer all these years. I’ll step out of your way so that you can marry the woman you truly love.”
Wayne’s expression darkened immediately. From the day he was born, he had always been treated with utmost respect. No one had ever dared to disrespect him, let alone slap him.
He looked at her, his gaze piercing. “Danica, you married me because you

wanted to, and now, you’re divorcing me because you feel like it? What do you take me for?”
Danica chuckled. “A toy.”
What?
Her answer left Wayne stunned.
Swallowing her bitterness, she said with a sneer, “That’s right, you heard me. You’re just a toy I snatched from Jennifer. And now, I’m fed up with you and no longer want you.”
Wayne squinted dangerously. “Good for you, Danica. You want a
divorce? Fine. You have it. You better not come crying to me to get back together.”
With that, he went upstairs and entered the study, slamming the door so hard that a deafening sound echoed in the villa.
Danica slowly slid down the wall, feeling utterly exhausted.
Crouching on the carpet, she wrapped her arms around her frail body. “Wayne,” she muttered, “I won’t love you anymore.”

Early the next morning.
Kelsey pushed open the door to the study and walked inside.
Wayne, a well–recognized workaholic, was reviewing documents in his
chair.
Kelsey called out to him, “Mr. Hamilton.”
He didn’t even lift his head. Apparently, he was in a foul mood. Even the air around him was freezing.

Seeing this, Kelsey cautiously put a cup of coffee on the desk. “Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton brewed this for you.”
His hand holding the pen paused as his expression softened a little.
He thought, “Is this some peace offering?
He asked, “Has she owned up to her mistake?”
Kelsey gave him a strange look. “Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton left.”
Stunned, he looked up at Kelsey.

She handed him a piece of paper. “She left with a suitcase. And she asked me to give this to you before she walked out of the door.”
Wayne took the paper over and unfolded it. In the next second, the words “Divorce Agreement” came into his view.
He was stunned–so, the coffee wasn’t some peace offering at all.
Just then, Kelsey said, “Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton wanted you to finish the coffee and sign the papers.”
His cold gaze fell upon the coffee. “Pour it out. I don’t want a drop left.”
Wayne’s expression darkened completely. He glanced at the divorce papers, in which Danica stated that she’d leave with nothing willingly.
Just then, he suddenly squinted because he spotted the reason for the divorce Danica handwrote.
“My husband suffers from sexual dysfunction and fails to fulfill marital duties.”
Wayne pulled an extremely long face.
That damn woman!

Immediately, he took out his phone and called her.
Soon, the call connected. She said, her voice as crisp as ever, “Hello.”
