“I don’t care if she never gives it back,”I said quietly.“I just need you to sign this.”
I turned and walked upstairs.
A minute later,I came back down with the divorce papers in hand,already flipped to the page where his signature was needed.
“There’s no need to be upset,”he said softly,like he was trying to soothe me.“Delaney’s not going to keep it forever.Like I said,I’ll return it once she has the baby.”
He signed the papers without even glancing at them.
As soon as I held the signed divorce papers in my hands,the storm inside me quieted.I never expected it would be this easy.
Beckett gave me a small smile.“I know I haven’t been there for you these past few months.Go ahead and buy whatever you want—I’ll take care of the bill.”
So that’s why he was so quick to sign.He thought this was just me angling for a shopping spree.
I unclasped the medal from around my neck and handed it to him,expressionless.
For a moment,he hesitated.But eventually,he took it and held it tight.
“Don’t worry.Once the baby’s born,it’ll be yours again,”he repeated,like he needed to convince himself.
But I didn’t care anymore.
“She can wear it for as long as she wants,”I said flatly.
