Semua Bab Sorry, Too Late: Bab 21 - Bab 30

What Zeke said made Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya even more furious."Evan, we've said it time and again. We saved you, so you can't disobey a single order from us. If you do this again, you'll be punished!"Anya was seething with hatred for Evan.Even sweet and gentle Roxanne was shouting. "Evan, where are the Bulgari necklace and ring I bought for you? Did you take them off? Who gave you the right?"The three of them could allow Evan's repeated objections, but they could never tolerate Evan showing any signs of having his own opinions.All of his outfits were styled by them. However, Evan was now wearing something that was completely different.Such an act made them feel betrayed.It was intolerable to them."On your knees, Evan!" Hazel barked out through gritted teeth.This was the most rebellious Evan had ever been in the past three years.As for the one who started this mess, Zeke merely smirked at Evan as he hid behind the three women. There was a taunting glint in his eyes.

"Tell us. Just why did you hit Zeke?"Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya were glaring at Evan with clenched fists and rage in their eyes.Evan's smile turned icy as he indifferently replied, "I did it because I wanted to. Nothing more to it."I only hit him once, and you act like the world was ending. How did you treat me back then?"In a sorrow-laced tone, he continued, "For the past three years, our relationship had always been one of debt. I wanted to repay you out of gratitude. For that, I've gone all out and even changed my name."How did you treat me in return? For one, you've always treated me like I was just a substitute. He is dying, but how is that any of my business? Why should I donate my blood? Do I owe him anything?"Evan pointed at Zeke, who was huddled up in Hazel's arms, and raised his voice."At the start, you would try to coax me into donation. Just one time, you promised. Just think of it as saving a life, you said. Later on, you stopped with the act and had men kidnap

Evan let out a cold laugh. Hazel clearly still had no idea that he had already severed ties with her family.'Did her parents not tell her?'Whatever the reason, Evan didn't bother dwelling on it. Whether she knew or not didn't matter anymore. All that remained was the one-month cooling-off period. Once it passed, the divorce would be final—for real this time.…Inside Villa No. 9, the three heiresses had gathered to discuss what to do about Evan."Evan's really lost his sense of self these past couple of days. He was already acting strange at the hospital, and it's only gotten worse since then."To them, everything Evan had done—his sudden change in demeanor, moving out of the Solberg Residence, following them around, turning cold and hostile, even losing control and hitting Zeke—was nothing more than a display of dissatisfaction aimed at them. And it was getting on their nerves.Hazel said nothing. She simply picked up her phone and called her mother, Cynthia. The moment the c

'If Evan finds out about this, he might even applaud.'Evan had brought up divorce long ago. Stefan and Cynthia had thought there might still be room to turn things around—but now their daughter was making it real. Neither of them could accept it."Hazel, listen to me," Cynthia pleaded softly. "This marriage can't end. Go talk things through properly with Evan. Family harmony matters more than anything…"But Hazel had already made up her mind. She was determined to give Evan a proper warning. "Enough, Mom. I promise you, this divorce won't go through. Once Evan signs and regrets it, he'll withdraw the application…""Promise, your foot!" Stefan finally snapped, unable to hold back. "How are you so sure that Evan will regret it and withdraw the application? You can forget about getting his ID card! And you're not going anywhere—stay home!""Dad! You have no idea how rebellious Evan's been lately! He even started following me!" Hazel's temper flared as well, seeing that Stefan wouldn

Seeing how decisively he moved, Rosa hurriedly tried to stop him.Even though Hazel had clearly said that the divorce registration had to be signed, Rosa still wanted to give Evan a chance—to back out before the pen hit the paper. That way, everyone could still walk away happy."Will you stop dragging this out?" Evan urged impatiently. "I've got things to do later!""Mr. Solberg—"Evan snapped. "Do you not understand plain English? First, you told me to sign; now, you're telling me to think it over. What exactly do you want?"Rosa was startled into silence.The courthouse clerk glanced at Evan and Rosa and reminded them, "Sir, Miss, are you certain you want to sign the divorce registration? Once you sign, it becomes legally effective.""Yes," Evan replied curtly.With no other choice, Rosa handed over Hazel's identification documents. The clerk looked at the computer screen, then at Evan, and shook his head. "That's not right…""What's not right?" Rosa asked in surprise."The
