The first reason for this decision was something she had told charlie Wade long ago—that if he had deceived her, she would choose divorce. But the second reason carried even more weight.


    ire understood clearly that the gap between them was far too wide. Once charlie Wade returned to the Wade family, remaining married to her would turn her into the object of envy for women everywhere. They would all see her as impossibly lucky—an ordinary girl who managed to marry one of the world’s wealthiest heirs.


    But ire was a proud and strong-willed woman. She did not want to live her life as someone known only as a rich man’s wife or bebeled a real-life Cindere.<fn81bb> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? f?ndnovel</fn81bb>


    Rather than bing a subordinate in a wealthy family, she would rather live a simple and peaceful life.


    Besides, Stefanie sun was clearly a better match for charlie Wade than she was. The girl had devoted so much time and effort over the years just to find him.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Both morally and logically, Stefanie sun was someone worthy of respect and fulfillment.


    Ending her marriage with charlie Wade and giving them the chance to be together seemed like the right thing to do.


    So she replied to charlie Wade, “Then on February 2nd, let’s go to Eastcliff, spend some quality time together, and watch Miss Sun’s concert. After that, I might need to go on a business trip. You can head home directly, and I’ll fly from Eastcliff to Rongcheng.”


    charlie Wade asked curiously, “Why are you suddenly going on a business trip to Rongcheng?”


    ire paused for a moment, then replied with the exnation she had juste up with: “A client introduced me to her best friend. She owns arge single-family vi in Rongcheng and wants it renovated. She hopes I cane up with a design n, so I need to visit the site in person.”


    After saying this, she felt both uneasy and guilty.


    Uneasy because she wasn’t sure if charlie Wade would see through her lie. Guilty because this might have been the first time she had ever lied to him.


    But soon, she remembered how charlie Wade had always imed to travel around for Feng Shui consultations in recent years. Perhaps, just like her now, he also used such excuses to keep certain things from her.


    Thinking this, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Her marriage with charlie Wade had be so twisted that they had to rely on countless little lies just to keep things stable.


    Come to think of it, every time charlie Wade had to take care of something in secret, he made up borate stories, even asking others to help him act them out. That must have been exhausting.


    charlie Wade, however, trusted irepletely. When she said she had to go on a business trip, he didn’t doubt her at all. He simply asked, “Wife, do you want me to go with you? I won’t be busy around then anyway.”


    ire said, “No need. I’m going there for work, not for leisure. If I bring my husband along to discuss the project, the client might think I’m being unprofessional. Besides, I won’t be there long—just a quick site visit to inspect the area, test the soil, and take measurements. After that, I’ll head back. Once I return to Aurous Hill, I’ll create the design n and send it to her online.”


    charlie Wade didn’t overthink it and smiled. “Alright, after the concert, you go to Rongcheng and I’ll return to Aurous Hill.”


    ire quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the travel n was confirmed, she intended to visit Qixia Temple soon and inform Stephen Thompson of the detailed arrangements.


    When the time came, as soon as she and charlie Wade departed for Eastcliff, she would find an excuse to have Stephen Thompson take her parents away.


    After separating from charlie Wade in Eastcliff, she would ask Stephen Thompson to help her quietly leave China.


    As a family of three, they didn’t have many ties or obligations. Their only close rtive, like her grandmother, had passed away, and they were no longer in touch with extended family. As long as the three of them stayed together, it didn’t matter where they went.


    For years, they had relied entirely on charlie Wade’s support. Now, it was time for them to think about what was best for him.
