Zayne went upstairs and saw Eamon as soon as he reached the corner. He was covering his mouth, trying not to cry out.

Eamon's big eyes were full of tears. He looked at Zayne and suddenly roared, "Why? Zayne, why would you persuade our parents to divorce? Why would you do this? I don't want them to divorce. Isn't our family doing just fine? Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Zayne remained unwavering despite his brother's growl. "This is a matter between the adults. You are still too young to understand." He looked at his brother calmly and said.

"How much older do you think you are? You're only two years older than me." Eamon retorted, "You're also just a child. Since we can't get involved in the adult's matters, why would you still advise them to divorce?"

"Their time together has come to an end, so it'll be better for both of them to let go." Zayne replied, "It'll all make sense when you grow up and fall in love." "You've gone too far this time, Zayne." Eamon shook his head, "Mom didn't write the agreement willingly. You forced her to. You and Dad schemed to have her agree to the divorce."

Zayne was still undisturbed. He just looked at his younger brother indifferently with little emotions in his eyes.

"It'll all make sense when you're older," Zayne said.

"I don't get it. Why will I only understand when I'm older? I want to know now. What did Mom do for you two to treat her like this? She's already a middle-aged woman, what do you want her to do after the divorce?

Dad can still remarry, but can Mom? Who would be willing to marry a middle-aged woman? Have you ever thought about Mom's situation? Why would you insist she divorce with dad?" Eamon questioned. Facing Eamon's numerous questions, Zayne remained calm and collected.

Eamon was enraged by his brother's indifference. He yelled, "I loathe the calmness on your face. I hate you for putting on this mask and interfering in our parents' marriage. If our parents do divorce, you are as good as dead to me."

"The divorce is my decision." Suddenly, the door of the study opened.

Timothy's voice drifted in the corridor.

Eamon saw his father standing at the door of the study, looking at them.

He rushed over and stood in front of Timothy and asked, "Why? Dad, give me a reason."

"I don't need to give you a reason for my marriage," Timothy said coldly, with an unquestionable determination in his tone.

Eamon froze. He could not believe his father, who was usually kind and amiable, would have such a resolute side.

He was startled, but he still blurted out, "You two were just fine yesterday. Why did you suddenly become like this? I even saw you two talking and laughing yesterday morning. Dad, you two can't divorce just like this. I can't accept it."

"That's because you're too weak." Timothy looked at him and said, "All these years, you've been blessed with the best love and care in this family."

Timothy's words stunned Eamon and he suddenly realized something, "So what you're trying to say, Dad, is that our sister wasn't given the love and care?"

Timothy acquiesced.

"Isn't it your fault that Grace didn't get any care? Why should we bear the consequences as well?" Eamon's eyes widened, and became teary, "We sympathize with what happened to Grace, but it's not our fault. Not mine, not Mom's not even Zayne's."

Timothy lowered his head and declared the same statement. "You don't need to know why I'm divorcing your mother,"

"Then do you know?" Eamon turned to look at his brother.

"Yes, Eamon. I know." Zayne admitted.

"You know?" Eamon was shocked, "If you have the right to know, then why can't I?"

Zayne looked at him, his eyes full of sympathy but also very cold, "Because you're not smart enough."

Eamon was hurt by his brother's words. He stood frozen looking at him and suddenly flew into a rage. "Zayne!"

"Go back to your room," Zayne insisted.

Probably because Eamon had been living under his older brother's suppression, he stomped his feet and walked into his room.

Only then did Zayne walk over to his father and handed the two divorce agreements to him. "Dad, these are the divorce agreements Mom wrote just now. She'll go with you to the Civil Affairs Department to get the papers done as soon as it opens."

Timothy was startled. He looked at the agreements in his son's hands and took it in after a slight pause.

When he saw that Quinn had also given up on her share of properties, he frowned and said, "Your mother doesn't have to do this. I said she would get her share of properties."

"Dad," Zayne said, "Mom never wanted your money, so let it be."

Timothy frowned.

"If you still want to divorce, then just sign it." Zayne carried no expression, even his tone sounded indifferent.

Timothy paused and wanted to say something.

However, Zayne turned and walked into his room in silence.

Timothy stared at the closed door blankly, motionless for a long while.

Inside the room.

Eamon looked at his brother with rage, "Are you out of your mind, Zayne?"

Zayne looked at him calmly and asked, "Do you have the cure?"

Eamon frowned instantly and stomped his feet again, feeling very miserable, "Can you not? Tell me, what's going on? You can always hide things from me." "Can you not be such a pantywaist?" Zayne growled, "A man, stomping your feet like a little girl."

Eamon's face turned red in anger, "I'm angry because of you guys. Mom and Dad were doing just fine but they suddenly decided to divorce all because of a sister we've never met before and you know the reason yet refuse to tell me. So, tell me, haven't you guys gone too far?"

"Can you really stop them if they want to divorce?" Zayne asked.

"We won't know unless we try." Eamon definitely did not want to admit defeat.

"Your thoughts are superficial," Zayne said.

"You keep saying I'm dumb. I refuse to admit defeat. How would you know if you haven't tried? If we work together, I'm sure they'll have a change of heart." Eamon suggested.

"Even if they don't divorce, their relationship has already broken. Is it necessary to still stay together?" Zayne looked at his younger brother, "If you want our parents to be able to get back together, I'm saying it's still a possibility, then you should just go with the flow."

"Brother, I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. Can you tell me clearly?" Eamon was confused.

"I've already made it very clear for you. You're the one who doesn't understand."

"How can I understand if you're not speaking clearly?"

"Don't ask even if you don't understand, and don't cause trouble."

"That's exactly why I have to ask."

"Do you believe me?" asked Zayne.

Eamon didn't understand where his brother was going with this. He nodded but shook his head the next second. "I trusted dad, but he suddenly wanted to divorce Mom as if he had changed into a different person. I trusted Mom, believing she was the kindest and gentlest woman in the world. However, the way she cried so desperately earlier had toppled my values. I trusted you as well, but you urged them to divorce. So can I still believe in any of you?"
