After Divorce

Chapter 36 No drunk, No fun

Sylvia rushed to embrace Kelly, who quickly pushed her away in irritation.

“Don’t get so clingy with me. When you got married, I warned you plenty which you ignored. before cutting me off. Now you just waltz back expecting things to be fine?” Kelly said, still upset over losing touch after working hard to stop Sylvia’s reckless wedding.

Sylvia had blocked them all out, secretly getting her certificate before informing anyone afterwards. The utter betrayal had cut deeply.

Sylvia winced, fully acknowledging her faults back then. “You’re completely right. I was too blind and stubborn, and I’m so sorry I hurt you. Yell at me, criticize me all you want – I totally deserve it and won’t argue back.”

Kelly studied Sylvia, then glanced over at Julie. Clearly Sylvia was here to reconcile relationships, but was it genuine?

“Are you truly repentant, or just pretending so we makeup? Even if you’re over Cyril now, I can’t excuse you severing our bond for him before,” Kelly said bluntly. After years of no contact, she had still been shocked hearing about Sylvia’s divorce.

Sylvia sighed heavily. How awful she had been to make her own friends distrust her sincerity now. “I swear I really mean it this time. The divorce papers prove Cyril is out of my life for good!”

Kelly hesitated, still skeptical.

Julie spoke up. “It’s true I saw the documents myself. And given the public nature of the Karen situation, no way Sylvia would still tolerate Cyril.”

Kelly relented with understanding. As proud women, Sylvia staying with Cyril despite another blatant affair would be impossible to abide.

“I thought you had woken up, but turns out you just reached your limit,” Kelly said, unable to keep some bitterness from seeping out. After relentlessly trying to sway Sylvia before, it stung that another woman succeeded with ease it seemed.

“Please don’t say that! I know I majorly messed up, but I sincerely regret it now. Please just give me one more chance,” Sylvia pleaded, hugging Kelly again.

Kelly felt her resistance softening. She wouldn’t have reached out otherwise if reconciliation. was impossible.

“Just once! Pull crap like that again and we’re permanently through. Good men are plentiful

– we can find you off again.

Sylvia gazed at Kelly gratefully.

Eager to lighten the mood, Julie piped up suggesting they celebrate Sylvia’s freedom with endless drinks and eye candy company. Sylvia laughed while Julie quickly backtracked on her eagerness, insisting she held no special interest in Bruce whatsoever despite her transparent behavior suggesting otherwise. The three friends shared amusement over Julie’s antics before wholeheartedly embarking on a night of carefree revelry.
