Chapter 589 A Painful Decision
Upon hearing this, Seb hesitated for a moment before saying, "Isn't it good to have some assets?"
He didn't directly answer her question, and neither did Susan, so she smiled and said, "Actually, I don't need you to give me assets."
"I'm worried about your future," Seb said with a frown.
"I can support myself in the future," Susan said, pulling at her lips, not daring to look into his eyes.
Because the topic was sensitive, although he didn't mention divorce, that was what he meant.
Afterward, he didn't speak for a long time, just lowered his head and smoked heavily.
Seeing Seb so dejected, Susan felt extremely sad. Where was the Seb who was so high-spirited just a few days ago?
Now he was irritable and depressed. Susan didn't want to see him like this.
If being with her made him like this, she would rather leave.
The next moment, Susan stepped forward to snatch the cigarette from his fingers. "Stop this, Seb. You're smoking far too much. It's not good for you."
But Seb flicked his wrist, and Susan didn't get the cigarette from his fingers.
Susan couldn't help but frown.
Seeing her frown, Seb sighed and then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
"I understand, I just… can't seem to help myself these days." Seb said.
At this moment, Susan looked at Seb sadly. Although her heart was aching, she still spoke, "Seb, let's get a divorce."
Upon hearing this, Seb was shocked, then turned to look deeply at Susan, who couldn't hold back her tears.
Seb frowned, stepped forward, slowly reached out his hand, touched her cheek, and said softly, "Things haven't come to that point yet."
"I know you're in a dilemma now. On one hand, it's your mom's dying wish, and on the other hand, it's me. If you don't divorce me, you won't be happy," Susan said tearfully.
"Will I be happy if I leave you?" Seb frowned at her.
"At least if you leave me, you won't have the guilt anymore. Look at yourself, you're exhausted, burdened. You must be torturing yourself every day. I don't want to see the once high-spirited person turn into this!" Susan said firmly.
"Maybe there's another way," Seb murmured.
"There isn't. It's because there isn't that you had the lawyer transfer the assets to me. You understand, you just don't want to admit it," Susan said, stepping closer to him.
"I can never make up my mind," Seb said, looking down at Susan, who was almost touching his chest.
"Then I'll help you make up your mind!" Susan said, staring at him intently.
Upon hearing this, Seb frowned deeply.
"Seb, this matter needs to be resolved," Susan said, tears streaming down her face.
"Susan, don't push me..." Seb hadn't finished his sentence.
Susan couldn't control her emotions and threw herself into Seb's arms!
Feeling the familiar Susan, Seb lowered his head, resting his chin on her forehead, then closed his eyes, with two crystal-clear tears appearing at the corners of his eyes.
His arms tightly wrapped around her, and Susan nestled closely against his chest, feeling an urge to embed herself into his body.
They didn't speak for a long time, just held each other, hoping to hold on like this forever.
But ultimately, she couldn't embed herself into his body, and they couldn't hold each other forever.
After a long time, Susan raised her tearful face and looked deeply at Seb, saying, "Seb, let's finalize the divorce papers tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Seb opened his mouth to speak.
But Susan covered his mouth with her hand. "No more arguments, Seb. We both know this is for the best."
Seeing Susan's determination, Seb lowered his eyes, took her hand from his mouth, looked down at her hand, and asked softly, "What about Hayden and Spring?"
Mentioning the children, Susan frowned.
After a while, Seb said, "I know you can't leave them. So, the house will stay with you, Mary and Kathy will stay with you, and Hayden and Spring will live with you. I'll cover all the expenses."
Upon hearing this, Susan was very touched. He was thinking too much about her, but how could he leave the children?
Then, Susan shook her head and said, "No, Hayden and Spring will live with you. I'll move out."
Seb frowned deeply. "You..."
Susan said, "I know you can't leave them, and they can't leave you."
"Can you leave them? They can't leave you either!" Seb said urgently.
"I feel the children will get better care with you," Susan said.
Seb hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we keep it as it is? Hayden lives with me, and Spring lives with you."
"No, I don't want to separate the children. It will affect their relationship in the future. When we are old or gone, they will be the closest family to each other. So it's better for Hayden and Spring to grow up together," Susan insisted.
"But..." Seb hesitated, clearly troubled and uncertain.
Susan smiled, touching Seb's cheek, and said, "No buts. It's decided. I'll visit them when I miss them."
"You can visit them anytime," Seb said.
Susan looked into his deep eyes and said, "I'll visit them when you're not around, so you won't feel troubled."
"Susan," Seb frowned and said, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Her hand slid from his cheek down to his chest, and she smiled. "After we divorce, don't worry about me. Remember to live well, smoke less, drink less, take good care of the kids, and spend more time with them. Don't let them feel like they're from a single-parent family."
"Susan," Seb said, grabbing her hand.
Susan's voice was already choked. "And if you meet someone suitable in the future, cherish them. Remarry early so someone can take care of you."
At this point, tears were already streaming down Susan's face.
She couldn't imagine how she would feel if he had someone else by his side. She only knew that her heart was already broken at this moment, and the pain was suffocating.
