Finally, Emilia couldn't help but accuse Kylah, "You know what? It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have become so complicated now!"

As I watched her hang up the phone, I elegantly took a sip of coffee and asked, "Did you figure out the reason?"

Emilia looked almost desperate. "I apologize on her behalf, but Sylvia, you don't have to withdraw the lawsuit for an unrelated person, because it concerns your lifelong happiness. You have already wasted so many years for a man who doesn't love you. Do you still want to continue wasting?"

"Do you think that just by me filing a lawsuit, Frederic and I can smoothly get divorced?" I felt that Emilia still maintained a naive simplicity in certain aspects.

"What else?" she asked, puzzled.

"You are supposed to be a talented student, how could you ask such a stupid question?" I sneered. "Have you ever thought about why I chose to file for divorce? It's because Frederic refuses to divorce me!"

Emilia's body shook, but she quickly found a reasonable explanation. She said, "True. I know he had a lot of assets, and dividing them would be complicated."

I was speechless for a moment. Does she think that Frederic refused to divorce me because of property division issues?

In my previous life, Frederic also filed for divorce, but I kept delaying and refusing. Later, he proposed that as long as I signed the divorce agreement, he would be willing to transfer so many shares of the company to me.

Emilia had never witnessed the craziness of Frederic in her previous life, so she naturally didn't understand.

"Think whatever you want. Your family doesn't agree, and neither do my parents-in-law. You and Frederic can do whatever you want. But I can tell you for sure that I won't be able to file for divorce again within six months after withdrawing the lawsuit. You better think of a way to make Frederic agree to divorce me through an agreement." I didn't want to say anything more, so I got up, paid the bill, and left.

After getting back into the car, I watched Emilia, who was still lost in thought at the café. After much consideration, I decided to make a phone call to Tristan.

"Dr. Shelton, Emilia is at Encounter Café. Would you like to come and take her back?" I asked.

After a few seconds of silence, Tristan said, "What does it matter to me?"

I was very confused. Shouldn't this have been a good opportunity for him to leave a good impression on Emilia?

I wanted to create an opportunity for him and Emilia to be alone. Otherwise, I might as well call Kira.

The last time Tristan confided in me. He said he indeed had a woman he liked, but it wasn't suitable for him to pursue her. Wasn't he talking about Emilia?

"Tristan, I mean Emilia was alone in the café. She had been grounded by her parents these days and I don't know how she managed to sneak out. She's feeling really down. Are you sure you won't come and keep her company?" I explained carefully.

"If you're not in a good mood one day, give me a call. Goodbye," Tristan replied coldly before hanging up the phone.

I was speechless. Does Tristan really understand what women are thinking?

No wonder he couldn't compete with Frederic. He deserved it!

Since Tristan didn't want this opportunity, I didn't meddle either. I simply drove home.

I just hoped that the following days would be peaceful, allowing me to peacefully spend the New Year and then go abroad to pursue my career, transforming into a successful woman, and then shining back in my home country.

Maybe I was lucky, until New Year's Eve, I had been living a peaceful and beautiful life, until Frederic showed up at my doorstep.

In the past, every year on New Year's Eve, I used to remind him to accompany my parents-in-law in Crocus City for the New Year, and the next day, he would come back to have dinner with my parents.

I didn't plan to go this year, but he came uninvited.

"What are you here for?" I asked as I walked over.

"My parents called us to go back home for dinner," Frederic's eyes and nose were slightly reddened from the cold. This added a touch of vulnerability to his originally aggressive and handsome face.
