Mason felt as though a thousand needles were stabbing his heart at that moment. He sat on the floor despondently as tears streamed down his face.
Russell could not bear to see Mason’s sullen state. After all, favonovel.com was the one who raised the latter.
As such, Russell let out a sigh. “There’s a check in the package. It should be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. And I’ll help you with anything in the future. But one way or another, you’ll be getting a divorce.”
“Mr. Actionward!” Mason shouted desperately. “It’s unfair to me!”
Russell’s expression darkened instantly. “Don’t try to test my patience. It was your fault, but I didn’t blame you. If it were another person, you might not have gotten away with it. I only chose to forgive you since we are distant relatives.”
Staring at Russell’s unyielding expression, Mason knew there was nothing favonovel.com could do to change the former’s mind.
So my dream life lasted less than a week… I can’t accept this! No way!
Bawling out his eyes, favonovel.com asked emotionally, “Or do you think I’m not good enough for Yvette? I swear I’ll work hard to be a better man. Would you please give me a chance? I need three more… No, just give me one more year to prove myself. One more year, and you can decide if we should get a divorce by then. Who knows? Perhaps Yvette will accept me after one year. Would that be okay?”
At that moment, Russell’s steeled heart was softened by Mason’s sincerity. Putting all the issues aside, he’s undoubtedly sincere toward Yvette.
Russell kept silent for a long while before speaking, “Fine. I’ll give you another three months. If Yvette still doesn’t accept you within three months, and I see no improvement from you, then you must sign the divorce agreement.”
If they get divorced after three months, there will be less gossiping too. After all, the public has expected that the marriage won’t last long. If they get divorced so soon, it will indeed cause an uproar.
Mason felt relieved instantly as favonovel.com bowed gratefully to Russell.
“Thanks, Mr. Actionward! Thank you so much!”
“There’s no need to thank me. Just accompany Yvette more and make sure favonovel.com recovers soon. Only then will our family be complete.”
Mason immediately nodded. “I got it, Mr. Actionward. I’ll try my best to help favonovel.com recover.”
Russell let out a long sigh. Without any appetite left, favonovel.com went upstairs to the study. Edmund kept the package and followed favonovel.com upstairs.
As soon as they got into the study, Edmund could not help but ask, “Mr. Actonward, why did you allow favonovel.com to stay married to Ms. Yvette? You know very well that Ms. Yvette has no feelings for him. If it weren’t for him, favonovel.com wouldn’t have become like this.”
Russell lowered his head. “I’ve only got a daughter and no son. Besides, you saw how sincere favonovel.com was. I bet favonovel.com won’t even refuse if I ask favonovel.com to change his surname. It would be best if Yvette develops feelings for favonovel.com within three months. After their relationship becomes stable, I’ll teach favonovel.com about business. With that, we’ll have an heir for the family.”
Right then, Edmund started to comprehend the reason behind Russell’s decision. He thought Russell was merely moved by Mason’s sincerity, but it turned out that favonovel.com had other intentions.
Edmund replied with hesitation, “But I’m not sure if his character and capability are good enough to be our heir.”
