Chapter 4 The Divorce Agreement
Trent frowned. “Divorce? Just because my mother didn’t allow you to bring your parents‘ ashes into our home today?”
His tone suggested that it was merely a trivial matter.
Chilliness welled up in Quinn’s heart. I really shouldn’t hold any more hope for this man.
“It’s not just that. There’s also Sidonie. If we get a divorce, it presents a perfect chance for you to marry her,” she said.
“I’ve told you before. Sidonie and I are just friends, nothing more. Don’t overthink it,” he said, clearly displeased.
Quinn found it all rather absurd. No one believed that he and Sidonie were just friends. Yet, he insisted on saying they were friends as a cover–up for his infidelity.
“I’m exhausted, and I don’t want to keep up with this marriage anymore,” she said.
There was no greater pain than a broken heart. She had already lost all feelings for Trent.
His complexion shifted, and the feeling of losing Quinn intensified within him.
It seemed as though the woman before him would truly depart from his life in the next moment.
“If you’re still worried, then let’s have a child together,” he suddenly suggested.
“What?” Quinn’s face was filled with shock. They had been married for three years, yet he had never laid a hand on her.
At first, he had been preoccupied with his career after their wedding, and he expressed a desire to go with the flow when it came to sex, so she didn’t press the matter.
Over time, it gradually became a habit.
Even though they shared the same bed, he had never laid a finger on her.
“We’ve been married for three years, so it’s time we have a child together,” Trent said, all the while leaning down to plant a kiss on her cheek.
Suddenly, Quinn found the situation both comical and desolate at the same time.
Once upon a time, she, too, had hoped that they would have a child together.
However, at that time, he merely said, “I’m not ready yet. Can we wait a bit longer?”
As a result, she waited.
She thought he just wasn’t ready to be a father yet.
Unexpectedly, it was because he held someone dear in his heart. He was preserving himself for his first crush.
She thought that her feelings for him and all her efforts would one day move him.
In the end, however, she ended up feeling like nothing more than a joke.

However, the moment she had made up her mind to divorce, he surprisingly suggested they should have a child together.
With a forceful shove, Quinn pushed Trent away, her hand brushing against the spot where his kiss had just landed. “Trent, you’re disgusting!”
Trent’s expression darkened. “Quinn, when we got married, I promised I wouldn’t let you down. So, I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear whatever you just said. If you’re not ready to have a child now, we can wait a bit longer.”
“There’s no need to wait any longer. I will never have a child with you!” Quinn said coldly.
Trent was about to say something else, but his phone suddenly rang.
When he answered the call, Quinn heard Sidonic’s voice coming from the phone.
“All right. I’ll be right there,” Trent gently said to the person on the other end of the phone.
After ending the call, he turned to Quinn and said, “I have something to attend to right now. I need to step out. Take some time to calm down.”
With that, he left in a hurry, leaving Quinn alone in the mansion.
Through the mansion’s window, Quinn watched as Trent departed in his car. He’s off to see Sidonie again, isn’t he? Does he realize that he’s betraying me every time he leaves me for Sidonie?
Back then, Quinn was in love with Trent. His promise of never letting her down was the reason she married
him.
At that moment, however, the feelings she once had for him had vanished. Hence, there was no reason for her to maintain the marriage.
What Quinn hadn’t expected, however, was that before she could even draft the divorce agreement, her mother–in–law had already called to arrange a meeting.
Penelope’s tone was aggressive when she said, “I’ll give you a hundred million if you divorce my son!”
“All right!” Quinn agreed readily.
At that moment, it was Penelope who was taken aback. She stared at Quinn: with a puzzled expression. “Are you truly willing to divorce my son?”
“One hundred million, right? I’ll divorce him immediately.” After all, Quinn had been planning to divorce anyway, so it was only natural that she would be happy to get a hundred million out of it.
One hundred million could allow numerous school dropouts to return to their studies. It could also give many people suffering from illnesses a chance to keep on living.
Upon seeing the situation, Penelope quickly produced a document and placed it in front of Quinn.
It was a divorce agreement that had already been signed by Trent.
Quinn stared at the signature. Indeed, it was Trent’s handwriting. “Did he send you to discuss the divorce with
me?” she asked.
A flicker of uncase crossed Penelope’s face as she replied, “Don’t concern yourself with the details, All you need to know is that he’s been considering a divorce. You’d better sign your name qui

Quinn’s gaze fell lightly. In other words, Trent was unaware of that divorce agreement.

Although she had no idea how Penelope managed to get Trent’s signature on the divorce agreement, it made no difference to her.
Quinn picked up the pen and signed her name.
“After the required thirty–day waiting period, your divorce will be finalized. During this time, it’s best if you behave yourself and don’t slip up in front of Trent!” Penelope warned.
Quinn raised an eyebrow. Is she suggesting that I should keep Trent in the dark about the fact that I’ve signed the divorce agreement?
“Sure.” Quinn responded.
“In fact, one hundred million is too much. For an orphan like you, twenty million should be more than Jenough.” Penelope tried to haggle.
She even thought giving an orphan twenty million was too much.
“If we were to proceed with a typical divorce, I could walk away with half of Trent’s marital property. If you think one hundred million is too much, then how does one and a half billion sound?” Quinn said sarcastically.
Penelope nearly lost her breath when she heard those words. She could only grit her teeth in frustration and say, “Fine. One hundred million it is. Don’t go back on your word!”
With a cold laugh, Quinn knew she would definitely not back out.
All she hoped for at that moment was to extricate herself from that marriage as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Quinn arranged to go shopping with her friend, Laura Wentworth, and they bought a few items.
When Laura heard about Quinn’s impending divorce, she was quick to express her approval, saying, “You should have divorced him a long time ago. The tabloids are filled with stories about Trent and Sidonie’s scandalous affairs. One’s a cheater, the other one’s a mistress, and they’re doing it openly.”
Quinn said in a nonchalant tone, “After the divorce, whatever they choose to do is none of my business.”
“When do you plan on taking your parents‘ ashes back to your hometown for burial?” asked Laura.
“Maybe a month from now. After my official divorce from Trent, I will take my parents‘ ashes back to our hometown.”
When it was time for dinner, Laura brought Quinn to a high–end restaurant.
No sooner had the two of them settled into their seats when laughter from the adjacent table reached their ears. Among the chatter, a name familiar to Quinn was mentioned.
“Trent, when are you getting married to Sidonie? Make sure you invite us to the wedding reception when the time comes.”
“I reckon it won’t be long before we’ll be attending the wedding reception. What’s so special about Quinn, anyway? She’s just a graduate from a diploma mill. If it weren’t for Trent’s kindness in giving her food, she would probably have starved to death. And yet, she has the audacity to claim the position of Mrs. Grafton!”
“Sidonie is truly one of a kind. She graduated from Qudnard University, and she was the campus belle of

faculty! To top it off, she’s Nimbus Air’s first female pilot. That should go down in Nimbus Air’s history, don’t you think?”
The people at the next table were engaged in an animated conversation. Due to the screens partitioning each table, they were oblivious to Quinn’s presence.
Laura was so infuriated that she nearly snapped the fork in her hand. Just as she was about to storm out and give those people a piece of her mind, Quinn stopped her and said, “The person they’re talking about is me. Let me handle it!”
With that, Quinn rose to her feet, circumventing the screen. “Why not now? You guys should hold a wedding reception now.”
Suddenly, everyone at the table turned their attention to Quinn.
Trent’s brows furrowed.
