Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 450

For some reason, when I heard Mitch's words, I felt a deep sigh of relief in my heart.

My gaze inadvertently met Neil's once again. He was looking at me, his eyes flickering with emotions that were hard to decipher.

"Why don't you want a divorce?" Before Stella could ask, Neil asked again, his tone interrogative, which left me feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Because it's my fault. I crossed the line between men and women. I showed too much concern for Ariana, which made my wife doubt me. It's not her fault; it's mine." It was always hard to start. After Mitch voiced his reluctance to divorce, he seemed to have let go, laying all his cards on the table.

He nervously looked at Stella, "Honey, can we not divorce? Can you give me another chance? There won't be a next time."

Stella's expression changed a bit, but it didn't waver. After looking at Mitch for a while, she took a deep breath. "Mitch, you should know my personality from the moment we met; I can't tolerate it."

Her simple words drained the color from Mitch's face. This usually carefree playboy now looked like a lost puppy, his head hung low and his fingers slowly clenched the cup in his hand.

I hadn't expected Stella to be so firm, not even swaying when Mitch apologized.

"Stella, you..." I wanted to say something, but then I stopped. I remembered my promise to Stella that I would support and understand her decisions.

"Speak." Neil seemed unable to bear the silence.

Mitch had only spoken a few words and after being rejected by Stella, he hadn't said anything else.

"Neil, what else can I say?" Mitch's voice was low and desolate.

"Say everything you want to say now. Do you want to say it after the divorce? Some words have the most impact when said at the right time." Neil's words surprised me. Did he think that way too?

But he had done just that. During the time when I insisted on divorce, he had pestered me, saying things that were completely different from his usual style.

Mitch, whether encouraged or hit, became agitated, "Then what can I do? I can give my life for my wife and children now, but does she believe me?

After saying that, he looked at Stella.

"But what's done is done and can't be changed. Since we're having a farewell dinner today, let's not talk about other things. Let's just enjoy this meal and start our new lives afterward." Stella's mood was relatively calm. It seemed that she had moved on from the feeling of being betrayed. On the other hand, Mitch was the one who was confused.

Mitch's eyes reddened, full of unwillingness, "Stella, since we got married, have I ever done anything to hurt you? I've been almost always obedient to you because I love you, and that's never changed. Only on the matter of Ariana, I lost my judgment a bit, but nothing really happened to hurt you. For such a small matter, you want to divorce me? What about our children?"

Upon mention of their children, Stella's face turned sorrowful. She could easily leave Mitch, but Mitch was the biological father of their three children. Once divorced, the three children would become single-parent children.
