Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 850

She just wanted to cut straight to the chase.

But Felix deliberately avoided the topic of the divorce, emphasizing instead, "The doctor said her health is fragile and her blood pressure is high. She can't handle any emotional distress right now, so regarding the divorce..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Claire cut him off. "Let's talk about the agreement first. Exactly which clause needs to be amended? Hurry up and tell me, Coley gets off work soon."

Although they were going through an amicable divorce, Noreen had warned her to stay vigilant.

Any clause related to the agreement needed to be reviewed by Coley.

He had the experience, and she couldn't risk Felix pulling a fast one on her.

After all, he had a track record.

Noreen was referring to the whole secret marriage contract fiasco.

As soon as Claire mentioned Coley, Felix's expression darkened.

During these twenty-nine days, he hadn't contacted Claire once, purely waiting for her to cool down.

Even now, he still assumed she was just throwing a tantrum, waiting for him to compromise.

But he had waited twenty-nine full days, and Claire hadn't reached out a single time.

Not even a text.

It was as if she were dead set on divorcing him.

Felix took a sip of the coffee in front of him.

Black coffee was truly bitter—so bitter it made his throat scratchy.

Yet he drank nearly half the cup before finally asking, "Are you divorcing me because of Madeline? If that's the case, I can try to see her less. There's no need to cause a scene over her. She and I aren't what you think we are."

"Stop. Just stop," Claire said, her face full of impatience.

"I'm not divorcing you because of Madeline, or anyone else for that matter. I simply don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. That's it."

As Claire spoke, her eyes were unwavering, her stance absolute.

Felix's heart lurched violently, an indescribable panic spreading through his chest.

But it only lasted a second.
