A Divorce After My Rebirth by Gentle Rain in June

Chapter 946 Meaningless The workers moved fast, replacing the doors and windows in less than an hour.

Handing over the brand new keys to Bianca, they assured her of the absolute security of the locks—they could be opened with fingerprints or from the inside.

Before leaving, the workers emphasized the importance of monitoring the batteries. If it ran out and she didn't have the key, breaking down the door would be the only option to enter the cabin.

The doors Bianca had installed were tough to open, so the workers spent a considerable amount of time advising her on this.

Bianca took note of everything they said.

Malcolm and Zane stood in the snow, watching Bianca complete the task

| without any expression on her face.

Once the workers left, Bianca stood at the door, giving Malcolm and Zane a cold, indifferent look before slamming it shut.

Whatever thoughts Malcolm and Zane had before coming here, they were crystal clear now—they had seen who Bianca truly was.

Zane didn't know how he made it back to the small building he was living in. When he entered the room, Seth handed him the phone.

"Lady Natalie is calling you." Zane looked at the blinking number on the phone, which had been ringing for almost a minute. He awkwardly picked it up.

"Hello?" . | 5 | oll) "Have you seen everything clearly: Natalie's voice came from the other end of the line.

WPT EE SYP Zane remained silent.

Natalie had hardly been in touch with him during this time. But now, in Zane's mind, it seemed like she had a clearer perspective ever since they left Simeria behind.

As Natalie listened to Zane's increasingly heavy breaths over the phone, she said, "Now that you've seen it clearly, you should leave." When Natalie found out that Malcolm had moved next door to Bianca again, she was genuinely worried. Actually, it was Austin who was worried.

Once, everyone in the Entes family used to say that Zane was the more sentimental one. But after being with Austin, Natalie knew he was the one with the most emotions, and he understood Malcolm's ruthlessness.

With Zane being there now, it seemed pointless.

"You've seen Bianca's temperament.

Being there serves no purpose," Natalie said, taking a deep breath.

Zane remained silent.

With those words said, Natalie could feel the desolation emanating from Zane even through the phone.

Being able to let go of everything meant that Bianca held an extraordinary place in Zane's heart.

But regardless of what Bianca meant to him, it didn't make any sense for Zane to remain here.

The problem lay with Bianca herself.

"Considering how well you know her, is there really no...?" Zane didn't finish his question.

"Yes," Natalie said.

Even though Zane didn't finish his | sentence, Natalie knew exactly what he

hl St ld bd wanted to ask.

And what he asked was true. For Bianca now, there really wasn't any hope left.

Before Zane could say anything, Natalie interrupted him and said, "Neither you nor Malcolm will be her choice." n " "So, let her go!" Zane stayed silent. At Natalie's words, his already tense heart tightened even more.

Let her go? Natalie was making this sound serious! npn ""Even if you don't harm her, you've become a source of trouble for her," Natalie said. Since Bianca wouldn't choose either of them, their being together now would only cause her absolute trouble.

ih, OE if rad A od, Zane fell silent, Trouble? So, just by being here quietly, he had become a problem for Bianca? What he didn't know was that both Natalie and Bianca saw through him all too clearly.

And it was because of that they didn't want Zane to continue staying here.

Malcolm was furious. When he returned to the wooden building, he quieted down and lit cigarette after cigarette.

Meanwhile, at Bianca's place...

The doorbell rang, and she furrowed her brows at the sound. Despite her hesitation, she still went to answer it.

This door was different from before. If she didn't want someone to come in, there was absolutely no chance of them getting in.

She stood at the door, looking at Zane standing in the cold wind. Her gaze was

icy. Despite any previous reconciliation between them, overnight, she had completely... changed! Zane stayed silent. He wanted to say something to Bianca. He moved his lips but couldn't get any words out. Bianca also looked at him silently. This was her current attitude—if he spoke, she listened. If he didn't, she had nothing to say.

Bianca now made Zane feel suffocated just by looking at her.

Taking a deep breath, he finally said, "I'll leave soon." Bianca raised her eyebrows at his words.

Zane added, "If... that's the peace you want." Peace! How ironic and frightening that word was!

i Ne RY Ye Natalie said that just by being quietly here, Zane was a source of trouble for Bianca, and in Simeria, he had become a thorn in her side.

Naturally, being here wasn't going to be any better! Zane wasn't too keen on admitting that his presence was like that. But, he had to admit, Natalie's words always hit the mark.

So, after some thought, he decided to leave.

Bianca looked at the man's clear and handsome face, and her expression unusually softened. She spoke with a cold and distant tone, "Thanks." Thanks? Was that her response? Zane, who already felt uncomfortable, felt even more stifled hearing Bianca's response! Undoubtedly, standing here at this moment, he still held onto a glimmer of

hope. But now that hope was shattered completely.

He smiled bitterly.

Bianca closed the door and went back inside while Zane stood in the cold wind, not quite returning to his senses for a long time.

But soon enough, the door opened again, and Bianca handed him a package. "It's some local specialties from around here.

Have them on your way back." Zane stayed silent as he processed Bianca's actions.

He almost confirmed that what Natalie said was true, and this... was Bianca.

He saw it all now.

In Bianca's world, there was no room for forgiveness. Actually, since leaving Simeria, she had gradually softened, especially seeing how she fought for Nancy. It seemed like she had returned to

how she was when she was in Verde City —cold but vibrant.

Zane thought that soon enough, she would return to the peak as she once had been in Verde City.

"...Take care of yourself," Zane finally said.

Taking the package Bianca handed him, he felt a pang of bitterness. But he had to admit, seeing her during this time, without any despair, she... had hope, and she gave hope to those around her, which was beautiful.

If she could live well all her life without him, that didn't sound so bad either.
