I took the heavy divorce agreement and returned to the home that was once full of warmth. At home, Ryan was holding a glass of scarlet red wine and slowly walked towards me, with the pride and provocation in his eyes undisguised.
"Leo, I have to thank you very much. You have taken great care of Ivy over the years, allowing her to maintain a figure as graceful as that of a girl." There was a hint of teasing in his words.
Ivy blushed when she heard that. She patted Ryan lightly and said angrily, "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."
Ryan laughed and said nonchalantly: "I'm telling the truth. Those who saw your portrait thought you were still a teenager. They never imagined that you were already a married woman."
" Hate it, I'll ignore you if you do this again." Ivy pretended to be embarrassed, but a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Watching them flirting, I felt like an unnecessary bystander. This is my home and Ivy is my wife, but at this moment, I felt more lonely and alienated than ever before.
"Ivy, I actually regret it!" Ryan suddenly looked at Ivy with a burning gaze and said affectionately, "After all these years living abroad, I realized that dreams are important, but compared to you, dreams are insignificant. I decided to return to China to develop my career, largely because of you."
Ivy's face was in a state of panic when she heard this. She glanced at me quickly, as if she wanted to explain something but couldn't find the words.
" It's all over, why are you still talking about this?" She tried to change the subject.
Ryan looked at me with disdain and said with a smile, "Yes, it's all in the past. Leo, I have something to inform you. Because my work was a success at the exhibition, the organizers decided to exhibit it abroad. I want to take Ivy with me. You should have no objection, right?"
You've already said you've notified me, does my opinion still matter? I smiled bitterly in my heart, but didn't show it. Seeing this, Ivy hurriedly said, "Honey, if you don't agree, I can not go."
I shook my head and slowly took out the divorce agreement that I had prepared long ago.
"I have no opinion, I just have a small suggestion. If you sign it, it will be good for you, me, and Ryan." My tone was calm, but with unquestionable firmness.
