Chapter 823 Three Words, Eight Letters

"Milla, please, don't be too upset. To be honest, it's his loss that he divorced you," Mandy said, trying to comfort Milla. Deep inside, Mandy was annoyed and frustrated. She was very indignant about the unfair treatment Milla had received. Milla had spent her precious two years with him, and for all Mandy knew, Milla gave all herself to Leo without any conditions. Those years were so precious that it couldn't be ever quantified by money or any material things. What a jerk Leo was to divorce her!

"Still, I know it has nothing to do with who is right or wrong. I have to admit, though, that he and I are not just on the same page. As a matter of fact, it was me who set our marriage up, so it is really no wonder why I ended up like this. I completely deserve it," Milla replied with her head down. Then she raised her head and gave Mandy a bitter smile. Perhaps, this was the bitter taste of love.

"Wait, what? You set him up to marry you?" Mandy furrowed her eyebrows into a frown. She could not believe that a person as innocent as Milla would be able to set up a man who looked shrewd.

Milla nodded in embarrassment. With a hint of sadness in her tone, she spoke, "Yes, I did set him up.

that? Why are you torturing yourself like that for a man? Are you secretly a masochist?" Mandy asked in a raised tone. As she stared at Milla, she started to understand how Milla was feeling right now. When she thought she had lost her child, there were also times where she was without hesitation and eager to run away and escape from all the pain.

"Well, I don't really see it as torturing myself. You see, it's more like finding myself again. After all, there is no reason for me to stay, is there? Once I leave, I am sure that no one will miss me. I'll just leave quietly, so in that way, it's like I have never been here. Isn't that a good thing?" Milla looked back at Mandy as the corners of her mouth lifted into a sneer.

Then, she turned away and looked at the empty ceiling, stopping her tears from falling. It turned out that in the past two years, she had let Leo touch and move her heart. The seed she planted had taken root and was now a sprout in her heart. It was difficult to uproot this tree, and for sure, it was going to hurt deeply.
