Chapter 521: This Marriage is Set to be Divorced
Delphine pressed her cheek against the little one’s, planting a gentle kiss on his chubby face.
Arthur said coldly, "Mr. Leclair is waiting for you on the second floor."
Delphine paused her actions, put down her brother, and then stood up to head upstairs.
In the reception room on the second floor, the man, as handsome as ever, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the gray skies and the light drizzle. When he heard the nearly imperceptible sound behind him, his lips curved into a faintly indifferent arc. Magnus actually liked such fragile women.
The man turned around, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly as he coldly said, "Miss Carter, please have a seat."
The instant Ignatius spoke, Delphine’s body subtly tensed. Looking at the cold man before her, her chest tightened faintly—it turned out that the way he regarded her was not only unfamiliar but also tinged with impatience.
This was a complete stranger, utterly different from Magnus. If Ignatius’s previous personality traits were influenced by the second persona, the restored Ignatius was now a complete person. Magnus truly wasn’t coming back.
Her eyes warmed slightly, and she struggled to keep her emotions under control as she replied coldly, "I wonder what business Mr. Leclair has with me today?"
"I believe Arthur has already explained it to Miss Carter. Previously, under the influence of my second persona, I engaged in certain inappropriate actions and remarks that resulted in some consequences that are still repairable. For that, I am willing to provide compensation to Miss Carter." Ignatius’s words were polite yet detached, each phrase meticulously chosen.
Delphine let out a cold laugh and said, "So, is Mr. Leclair trying to tell me that all previous actions are now null and void, and compensation is meant to dismiss me?"
Ignatius’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze deep as ink. That was indeed his intent, but for some reason, hearing it articulated by this woman left him with a sense of abandonment.
Previously, Magnus’s persona had a significant impact on him. If not for the birth of the new life triggering some memory fragments, he might have continued to be affected by the second personality indefinitely.
These long five years were like his body’s automatic detoxification process. Now, he had complete control over both his body and mind—a situation that would not recur.
"Magnus’s views on marriage differ from mine, Miss Carter. While we’ve known of each other’s existence for a long time, we’re still strangers." The man stopped beating around the bush, gesturing toward the divorce agreement on the table as he coldly remarked, "I hope you’ll sign the divorce agreement. I will provide you with an annual alimony of ten million to guarantee your financial security and allow you to visit the two children once a year. If Miss Carter has other requests, feel free to bring them up as well."
Delphine bit her pale lips tightly and stepped forward, picking up the divorce agreement. Glancing at it coldly, she found it utterly absurd—he had forced her into marriage back then, and now he was forcing a divorce.
She placed the agreement back on the table, letting out a cold laugh as she said, "What if I refuse to sign it? What, Mr. Leclair, do you intend to use to coerce me? My father, my best friend, or those two children who are just over a month old?"
At her words, Ignatius frowned deeply, his cold and handsome features showing a trace of discontent. Magnus had truly given everything to her. Though they were two different personalities, most of their behavioral habits overlapped. In other words, Delphine understood Magnus and understood him as well.
Today, this divorce was set in stone.
