Mason Monroe felt as if the blood in his body was flowing backward, as if sothing was piercing his heart needle by needle.
He slumped on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes.
Evan Hughes saw Mason Monroe like this, and felt a bit unwilling to proceed, since Mason was soone he had supported for a long ti.
Evan Hughes sighed and said, "There’s a check in the bag, it’s enough for you to use for a lifeti. If you have any difficulties in the future, I’ll do my best to help you. But the matter of divorce is non-negotiable."
"Dad!!" Mason Monroe cried out almost hoarsely, "This is so unfair to !"
Evan Hughes said coldly, "Don’t test my patience. On this matter, you made mistakes too. I’ve already been good enough not to bla you. If it were soone else, you wouldn’t even know how you died. It’s only because of our distant family ties that I barely forced myself to forget about it."
Mason Monroe looked at Evan Hughes’ firm and cold expression, and thoroughly understood that he and Coralie Hughes were indeed going to get divorced.
The marriage that lasted less than a week, the happy life he dreamt of, was over just like that...
Unwilling! He was truly unwilling!
While crying, Mason Monroe asked, "Is it because you think I’m not worthy of Coralie? I swear, I’ll really work hard, strive to beco soone worthy of her, please give another chance. Three years... no, one year, after one year, you can then decide if you want to divorce Coralie, okay? Maybe within this year, Coralie will accept ?"
Speaking sincerely and sorrowfully, Mason Monroe softened Evan Hughes’ stone-like heart slightly.
To say the least, Mason Monroe’s genuine feelings for his daughter were true.
Evan Hughes remained silent for a while, finally speaking, "Alright. I’ll give you only three months. If within three months Coralie still doesn’t accept you, and you haven’t improved, then you must sign the divorce papers."
Divorcing in three months won’t provoke many rumors among those idle socialites, after all, people outside already think this marriage wouldn’t last long. Divorcing so hastily would indeed attract gossip.
Mason Monroe felt a sense of relief, bowing repeatedly to Evan Hughes.
"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Dad!" Mason Monroe’s forehead hit the floor, "bang bang" sound echoed.
Evan Hughes felt uncomfortable hearing this, helping him up said, "No need to bow to . With this heart, spend more ti with Coralie. Once she recovers soon, our family would be complete."
Mason Monroe nodded quickly, "Got it, Dad, I’ll definitely work hard to help Coralie return to normal."
Evan Hughes sighed, losing his appetite, he went straight upstairs to the study.
The butler collected the manila folder and followed him up.
Once in the study, the butler couldn’t help but ask, "Sir, why didn’t you let him divorce the Miss again? You know well, the Miss has no feelings for him, if it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have turned out this way."
Evan Hughes lowered his eyes and said, "I have only one daughter, no son. You too saw his sincerity. If I let him marry into the family, he probably wouldn’t refuse. Having such a sincere man towards her, if in three months Coralie softens her heart, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. Once their relationship stabilizes, I’ll teach Mason Monroe business, and there would be soone to continue this family’s legacy."
The butler understood; Evan Hughes wanted Mason Monroe to marry into the family. He had thought the master had truly softened, but it turns out he also had his own considerations.
The butler remained silent for two seconds, hesitantly stating, "Just unsure if Young Master Monroe’s character and ability could support our family?"
