Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 216

Before leaving the group chat, Charlotte sent a message that sent shockwaves through the entire hospital.

She posted a photo of her marriage certificate with Evander. Chaos erupted.

[I never wanted to make this public, but I can’t take it anymore.]

In an instant, the gossip shifted: Tricia was no longer just “Mr. Howard’s rumored girlfriend”—she was now the notorious “other woman” who’d come between a married couple.

[Oh my god! Mr. Howard and Dr. Sterling were married all along?]

[Six years! You’d never have guessed!]

[So Director Winthrop is the real homewrecker here. Mr. Howard cheated! Poor Dr. Sterling…]

…

Tricia hadn’t left the group chat; in fact, it had never crossed her mind that Charlotte would post her marriage certificate with Evander for everyone to see.

Wasn’t their marriage supposed to be a secret?

Why would Charlotte suddenly go public?

Did Evander agree to this?

The thought made Tricia sink onto the sofa. If she were at the hospital right now, she’d probably drown in everyone’s scorn.

Messages started flooding in—colleagues from other departments privately mocking and insulting her.

[So you’re the mistress, Director Winthrop. Accusing others while hiding your own shame.]

[Heard you got transferred. Was it because the Howard family found out what you were up to?]

[Shameless. After everything, how did you have the nerve to slander Dr. Sterling?]

Tricia’s expression grew uglier by the second. She scrolled through her contacts, found Charlotte’s WhatsApp, and fired off a message: [Charlotte, are you insane? How dare you post your marriage certificate with Evander without his permission! Aren’t you afraid he’ll deny it?]

Charlotte stepped out of her cab just as the message came in on her work WhatsApp. She hit record and replied with a voice note: “I don’t need his permission. The fact is, we’re still married. You really are the other woman.”

“The one who isn’t loved is the mistress! Evander and I love each other!”

Charlotte gave a short laugh. “Sure, I’m not loved. So what? If he loves you so much, why hasn’t he divorced me and married you?”
