Chapter 1016 - My Final Decision
In other's impressions, Samuel never bowed his head in front of outsiders.
Right now, in order to get Erika back, he had to lower his head, even the traces of a prayer were hidden deep in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Ivan bluntly refused, "What do you want to discuss with my sister?"
Merry stood on the side with furrowed brows, her little hand still holding Erika's arm, and her expression very crumpled.
She felt her clueless father deserved this treatment, but… in her own heart, she didn't want to see him and her mother as strangers.
This kind of ambivalence made her frown, having no solution at all.
A refreshing breeze swept over, and under the bright sun, Erika looked at Ivan and smiled slightly. "Brother, after playing for a long time, you'd better bring Merry to eat something."
Ivan suddenly turned around then looked at Erika's calm looking face, and he didn't agree. "You still want to talk to him?"
"There are a few things that need to be clarified."
Seeing her insistence, although Ivan was not happy in his heart, he still respected his sister's choice.
Erika saw the compromise, and immediately pulled Merry up, then said softly, "Go and eat something with your uncle, I will catch up with you in a moment."
The little girl nodded. Her eyes rolled and said in an angry tone, "Mom, don't blame yourself. No matter what you decide, I will support you."
"Okay, go now."
Erika pinched Merry's supple cheeks and watched her walk away with Ivan. She then retracted her gaze and calmly looked at Samuel across from her. "Mr Samuel, what do you want to talk about?"
Samuel's heart suddenly felt dull when he heard her speak like this.
He rushed forward, walking towards her, frowning in disbelief. "Erika, what did you call me?"
Erika's eyes stared straight into Samuel's. They were still soft and clear, but didn't have much of a familiar feeling. "Mr. Samuel."
She repeated flatly, calm and relaxed.
Erika was still that soft-hearted woman, but she was no longer the wife of the Hiroshi family.
At this moment, Samuel felt thousands of words clogged his throat by the strange way she addressed him.
He had anticipated countless reunion scenes, but never expected it to be like this.
Samuel took a step forward subconsciously, trying to see some clues in her brows.
But after he stared for a long time, apart from seeing his own panicked reflection, there was nothing in Erika's eyes.
"Did you sign the divorce agreement I gave you?"
Erika looked at him and broke the silence again with her soft voice.
Samuel swallowed his nervousness, his eyes burning slightly, and he asked anxiously in a suspicious tone, "Erika, why do you suddenly want a divorce? Is it because Emma came back? I told you..."
The girl's name stung Erika's eardrums.
She sighed softly, furrowed her brows calmly, and interrupted Samuel's words, "You still don't understand why I want a divorce?"
Samuel licked his lips and explained patiently, "Erika, I really don't understand. Over the years, we have lived together and helped each other. I really can't figure out why you suddenly want a divorce. If it's because of Emma's return, then I can assure you that nothing happened between us."
"If you have a complaint in your heart, we can talk about it, no need to divorce! My brothers asked me before, what was my purpose in coming to this place. The moment the question arose, I already knew the answer in my heart. I want you! I want you to always be by my side!"
Perhaps, Samuel really had no experience when it came to dealing with feelings.
According to Erika, Samuel's normally cold and resolute figure had now become helpless.
Samuel's statement echoed in her ears. Erika looked at him half-seriously, and finally smiled lightly. "But I don't want you anymore, so let's get a divorce."
Samuel's body froze in an instant.
I don't want you anymore…
These words were like a bomb going off in his heart.
Erika saw his shocked expression and curled her lips. "I'm just feeling a little tired. I want to free myself and let you go. This divorce has nothing to do with anyone else. You don't have to stress your relationship over and over again. I did leave without saying goodbye and it's my fault. If your brothers are worried about it, tell them it's my will."
Her tone was still thoughtful as usual, but Samuel could barely feel her gentleness.
At this moment, beneath its soft surface, there was clearly a heart as hard as stone.
Samuel's breath stopped, and too many emotions took over him.
"Erika, I will not agree to a divorce, I don't want to be separated from you, and I will never let you go! If you feel that I am not good enough for you, then I will spend more time accompanying you in the future."
"If you don't like me meeting Emma, I can promise that I will never see her again. I have never thought about divorce, and will never agree to it. As long as I don't sign the divorce, then we are still husband and wife. You are my only wife now and forever!"
Erika listened to his domineering rhetoric, lowered her eyes and slowly laughed. "So what? If you are sued for divorce, I was worried it would allow one to see the joke!" Upon hearing this, Samuel grabbed her wrist and forgot to control the power when he lost it. "Erika, what do you want me to do, can you say it properly? Why do you keep talking about divorce, are you impatient to leave me? What have I done wrong all this time? I've never treated you badly and I've never cheated on you, isn't that enough?"
Wasn't that enough?
Definitely not enough!
Erika looked at Samuel. He was still a familiar man to her, but the woman suddenly felt that she had never known him.
It turned out that after 20 years of living together, this guy didn't understand what she wanted in the end.
It was probably to enjoy the feeling of being loved, so she kept asking herself to show her tenderness endlessly.
It was a pity that no matter how sincere and deep her feelings were, there was no point in wasting it on the wrong person.
Erika didn't want to continue this unnecessary argument with him, so she restrained herself and sighed. "Mr. Samuel, we'd better stop here. You're not wrong, and I'm not wrong, but our husband-wife relationship can no longer continue."
"I really thank you for coming to me, but when the divorce agreement was handed over, I never thought about going back to you again. You may think that I was being unreasonable or whatever, but our divorce is my final decision."
Erika expresses her deepest tenacity in the most tender way.
She doesn't want Samuel anymore, that's right, never again!
At this moment, the wind blows without bringing any freshness, like the relationship that Erika buried coldly.
It's time for her to go her own way.
