When old Earl William heard Jacqueline's words, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say!

They were over seventy years old. To be honest, they didn't know how many years they could live. But even under such circumstances, Jacqueline could directly tell him the word divorce, which he couldn't figure out for a moment.

It’s unclear, what exactly does Jacqueline want to do?

"Jacqueline, we..." Old Earl William looked up at Jacqueline, with a hint of surprise and shock in his eyes, wanting to ask her why she wanted a divorce now?

When things got so bad back then, you didn’t choose divorce. Now that everything is fine and can be said to be complete, why did you choose divorce at the last moment?!

He wanted to ask this, but when he saw the look in Jacqueline's eyes, he couldn't ask any more!

He just raised his head and looked straight at the person who had been his wife for decades, familiar yet unfamiliar.

"I know what you want to say, but I don't need it anymore. I didn't want a divorce back then because I didn't want you and her to be together. Now I want to divorce you because I feel tired and don't want to carry on with such heavy shackles.

Jacqueline smiled, but felt a little relieved, "I have lived for my family, my children, and even you all my life, but I have never lived for myself. So I want to divorce you, and I want to be real."

I must live my life for myself, even if it is only for a short time. Fortunately, my life has not been in vain, right?"

After hearing Jacqueline's words, old Earl William probably understood in his heart.

In his life, he was indeed sorry for her and Ou Qing's mother. They both truly loved him, but in the end he did not give them a perfect ending.

So the only thing he can do now is to let Jacqueline go free.

"I understand. When Corian's matter is over, we... will divorce. As for where the children are, I will tell them." Old Earl William said softly, with a helpless tone, but just like Jacqueline,

There is relief.

Jacqueline probably didn't expect old Earl William to agree so readily. She was stunned for a long time and then softly replied, "Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Jacqueline walked out of the hall, leaving only old Earl William sitting alone in the hall. Under the sunset, his back looked so bleak and desolate.

In old age, people will be left behind. This is something that old Earl William never thought of in his life!

He raised his eyes and looked at the sunset outside the window, setting little by little until darkness gradually fell, and he suddenly laughed.

How did you end up living like this?

Suddenly he remembered what Ou Qing's mother said about the reincarnation of cause and effect. After all, he had committed too many sins. It seemed that he had brought this fate on his own, right?!

"Old Earl, it's getting late, do you want to have dinner?" The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "My lady went out in the evening and said she had an appointment with a friend, so we don't have to wait for her to have dinner."

"Well, I understand." Old Earl William nodded and glanced sideways at the housekeeper, "You have been at William's house for only a day or two. Do you also feel that sometimes I am too stubborn and domineering?"

The housekeeper was stunned and didn't know how to answer. He could only smile awkwardly.
