Chapter 434 Let’s Get a Divorce 

Chapter 434 Let’s Get a Divorce 

For her, this was already enough. 

Thinking that, Alice didn’t waste any more time. She spoke calmly, her voice cool. “Take care of the body.” 

Gary had wanted to question her. He wanted to ask why she showed no sadness at all. 

But when he thought about what they had done, guilt washed over him. 

In the end, he said nothing. 

No one asked Nathan what he thought. They began to prepare Maria’s body. 

Maybe it was because he still remembered the slap from earlier. 

Or maybe he wanted to fix his broken relationship with his sons. Nathan stepped forward to help. 

Alice walked out of the hospital room. 

It wasn’t that she was heartless. It was simply that the dead deserved respect. She didn’t want to argue anymore. 

Instead, she left the room. That way, the others could cry as loudly as they wanted and release everything inside them. 

Eric reached out and held her hand again. 

“There’s a nice music restaurant,” he said. “Want to go try it?” 

Alice didn’t pull away. 

She really did need a change of scenery. 

“Okay,” she said. 

Her mood was still low. 

Eric saw it clearly. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes. 

She didn’t say it, but Maria was her biological mother. There had to be sadness in her heart.. 

The restaurant had been cleared out. Soft music played in the background. The food was light and simple, chosen carefully for her mood. 

During the meal, Alice stayed quiet. She looked like she was thinking about something serious. 

Eric didn’t interrupt. He quietly served her food instead. 

They sat across from each other. 

It felt like they were talking, yet also like they weren’t really aware of each other 

That strange silence lasted until halfway through the meal.

Alice suddenly looked up at him. 

“Mr. Eric,” she said, “even though the time isn’t up yet, I think we should get a divorce.” 

Eric was picking chopped green onions out of his food. He knew she didn’t like them. 

His hand froze. 

A cold look spread across his face. 

Alice continued, her tone steady. 

“We agreed on one year. But plans change. I’ll probably be leaving for a long trip soon, and I’m afraid-” 

Eric cut her off. “The company issues are mostly handled. I can go with you.” 

Alice was stunned. 

A small ripple stirred in her heart. 

But when she thought about the danger of that work, she shook her head. 

“This is something I have to do myself.” 

Eric’s expression darkened even more. 

The whole restaurant seemed to sink under heavy pressure. It felt hard to breathe. 

Alice sighed.

“Don’t worry. You still have a little toxin left in your body, but it won’t affect your daily life. We can stop the needle therapy. 

“I’ll leave the prescription with Daniel. He’ll prepare the medicine for you every day. Take it for three more months, and you’ll fully 

recover.” 

Eric let out a cold laugh. “So you already planned everything.” 

No matter what, she had never considered him. 

Alice suddenly felt guilty. 

That was strange. She was only doing what was best for her patient. So why did she feel like she was the one betraying him? 

She looked up. 

Wow! His face looks dark and stormy. 

She cleared her throat. “What’s wrong? Do you think I’m being an irresponsible doctor?” 

Eric snorted and said nothing. It was like he agreed by staying silent. 

Alice fell silent as well. 

She truly didn’t know how to explain herself anymore. She felt like she was about to break inside.

Are men this hard to deal with? 

No wonder people kept their distance. 

If she had known, she should have divorced him on the wedding day. That would have saved her all this trouble. 

They stayed silent for a long time. 

Even the music in the restaurant stopped. 

Only then did Eric speak again. 

“I have a team overseas.” 

As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed her a message from Stanley. 

“But recently, they’ve gone missing. I suspect they were taken by the Sarratts. Just like you, I’ll be leaving the country too.” 

He pulled the phone back before Alice could read more. 

‘I just thought it through,” he continued. “We’re husband and wife in name only. It was just an agreement. I shouldn’t drag you into danger. If you want a divorce, then let’s do it. We’ll each handle our own matters. That way, there won’t be trouble.” 

Alice had no words. 

She hadn’t finished reading the message. 

Why did he take the phone away so fast? 

And ever since Stanley left, he had been acting mysterious. Was he investigating the Sarratts? 

She coughed lightly. “That’s actually perfect. I also want to deal with the Sarratts. If there’s any news, maybe we can share?” 

Eric’s face was cold. 

“What are you to me?” he asked. “Why should I share anything with you?” 

Alice bit her lips. She said nothing. 

Great. Just great. 

I brought this on myself. 

“I take it back,” Alice said, without the slightest hesitation. 

She even explained seriously. 

“We haven’t reached one year yet. If I break the contract now, I’ll lose my credibility. That wouldn’t be good for either of us.” 

The coldness on Eric’s face melted away in an instant.
