Chapter 202 Antonio, we've reached the end
Harper was also staring at the divorce agreement in utter shock, her young mind turning into a confused mess!
'Is Daddy really divorcing Mommy? Is our whole family falling apart? Does Daddy really not want us anymore? Is he going to marry someone else?'
At that moment, Harper felt an immense sadness in her heart, and tears started streaming down her face.
Seeing Harper cry, Ethan clenched his fists in anger. "Harper, don't cry. Bad Guy isn't worth your tears! If he doesn't want us, we don't want him either!"
Although he said these words, his body stood stiffly, showing that deep down. He couldn't accept this reality either.
Sarah pushed the glaring photos and divorce agreement aside, suppressing the trembling in her voice. "Don't think you can deceive me with these ambiguous things! You never approved of us being together in the first place. Who knows if you've photoshopped them to deceive me into divorcing him?! Even if it's true, let him personally tell me!"
Lucien looked at her disdainfully and impatiently tapped the ground with his cane.
"Who do you think the CEO of Valencia Inc. is? He doesn't have the time to meet with a woman who will have no connection with us in the future! Hurry up and sign so we can avoid any unnecessary trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Sarah's eyes dimmed.
Indeed, he would rather meet Serene and didn't bother taking the time to have a proper conversation with her. He even locked her in the room before...
Did Antonio have absolutely no respect and trust for her?
Seeing her hesitation, Lucien concealed the triumphant smile in his eyes.
"Whether you sign or not, it's up to you. Frankly speaking, I've shown you enough respect. I would've thrown you out myself if it weren't for Antonio's sake. You don't want to end up looking so pathetic, do you?"
After Lucien finished speaking, he calmly stared at Sarah as if he wouldn't relent until he saw her sign.
Sarah forced herself to stay composed, comforted the two children, and assured them that she would handle this matter. She told them not to worry and to go rest in their rooms.
Under Lucien's gaze, she stared at the divorce agreement for a long time.
She had no idea when Antonio got engaged, but Serene's background was indeed more suitable for him. The difference between her and Serene was like night and day...
In the silent room, she seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking. Her tears fell onto the paper of the divorce agreement, leaving a faint mark on Antonio's signature.
She couldn't care about anything else. She took out her phone and dialed Antonio's number. She wanted to hear it from his own mouth and confirm this matter.
Maybe, deep down, she clung to a faint hope that he would declare it was all a misunderstanding, much like five years ago when they parted ways over a misunderstanding...
Her fingers trembled slightly, and although it was only a short time, it felt like an eternity...
'A century can be quite long.
"Hello... Antonio?"'
But the person on the other end of the line was a woman.
Sarah didn't listen any further and hung up almost reflexively.
'It is Serene's voice. Antonio is still with her… It seems that what Antonio's grandfather said is true.'
Lucien sat across from her, understanding everything, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. "Heh, so, have you confirmed it yourself? Have you given up?"
Sarah remained silent, feeling a hollow in her chest.
Five years had ultimately created a huge rift between them. There was no going back anymore.
Her heart instantly turned cold, plunging into an icy abyss, losing its warmth.
Sarah closed her eyes in sorrow and finally picked up her pen.
'Antonio, this is where I end things with you.'
At the hospital…
Antonio just returned to Ryan's ward from the doctor's office when he saw Serene holding his phone.
At that moment, he frowned.
Serene spoke voluntarily, "Sarah called just now, looking for you. I was afraid it might be urgent, so I answered for you."
Antonio took the phone and immediately dialed back, but there was no answer on the other end. He inexplicably felt annoyed and restless, as if something was blocking his chest, making it hard to breathe.
"Did she say anything?"
Serene also looked at him with some doubt. "No, before I could say anything, she hung up..."
Coincidentally, Ryan tugged on Antonio's shirt. "Daddy, you should go home. I'm fine now. I'm a big kid and can stay in the hospital by myself. Maybe Ms. Sarah has something important to discuss with you."
He knew that Antonio and Sarah were having a conflict, and every communication between them was crucial. Ryan didn't want his own health to delay their reconciliation.
Antonio gently stroked Ryan's head. "You're a good boy."
But he hesitated.
Although he was also worried about Sarah, Ryan was just a child who couldn't be left alone without anyone by his side at night.
Seeing him in a dilemma, Serene proactively expressed concern, "Why don't I stay here with Ryan while you go home and check on Sarah?"
Antonio's gaze darkened. "No need. I've asked James to send someone to take care of Ryan. I appreciate your kindness."
With that said, he lowered his eyes and called James.
Seeing Antonio firmly refuse, Serene nodded and didn't insist any further. They both left the hospital, one after another.
He drove the car, rushing all the way.
Sarah held the pen inside the villa, preparing to sign her name in the designated spot.
Lucien stood by, sharp and malicious. "Sarah, you know what's good for you! I don't want to hear about an affair scandal on the day of my grandson's wedding.
"In the news, it will not be just a great shame for our Valencia family!"
But before the words could fully fade, Sarah saw a figure rushing towards the front gate.
In the next second, with a swift slap on the back of Sarah's hand, her pen fell to the ground and rolled several times.
Antonio, who had just entered, gasping for breath, snarled at her, "Sarah, what are you doing?!"
