Chapter 1511
With a soft exhale, Brian murmured, “Does the fake divorce certificate still upset you?”
Her suspicions had been correct.
The document Deanna had shown her was a fake.
With her lips taut, Rosalynn suggested, “Perhaps you should seek a legitimate divorce certificate instead.
”
Despite a flicker of sentiment, her unease remained.

She had a hunch about Brian’s motives for the fake certificate.
He had wanted to protect Noemi’s feelings.
The mother-son relationship was indeed profound.
Though the certificate was fake, the act itself had embedded a splinter in her heart.
“Please don’t speak like that.
It was an expedient,” Brian implored, his brow creasing.
“You know how fragile my mother was.
I resorted to a fake divorce to spare her from a breakdown that might lead to irreversible damage.
”
Rosalynn’s response was icy.
“Really? Then perhaps you should comply more with her wishes and divorce me.
After all, secrets come to light eventually.
If she discovers the certificate’s falsehood, might that not provoke her again?”
Brian’s sarcasm did not go unnoticed, and in response, he grasped Rosalynn’s chin, urging her to look directly at him.
“You must understand, Rosalynn, despite everything, she’s my mother.
She’s the reason for my existence.
I owe her my filial duty, but this will be the only time,” he declared with a brief pause.
“My mom was just in a foul temper.
I’m allowing her some space to cool down.
I assure you, this won’t happen again.
”
His eyes shimmered with genuine intent, and his striking features remained as alluring as ever.
Rosalynn regarded him in silence, his familiar scent enveloping her, yet her heart stayed undisturbed.
She shrugged off his grip and averted her gaze.
“Brian, there’s no need for further words.
Our marriage has left me weary.
I think it’s time we considered a divorce.
”
The word “divorce” echoed between them once more!
He had approached her with humility and candor, yet she stood defiant, wielding her will like a sovereign.
Brian felt a heavy gloom descend upon him, fighting back the surge of despair.
