Cassian was surprised by Isabell's statement. Although he was able to predict the enemy's movements and devise a war strategy, he could not have predicted that Aveline would want a divorce. It was beyond his reach.

He was disappointed that Aveline filed for divorce at their meeting after all this time. Apparently, she had a different idea about this meeting.

"Why are you doing nothing? Take these divorce papers and return them to me when you have signed them," Isabella growled in annoyance that Cassian was silent like a fool.

Cassian snapped out of his reverie. Unable to see, his hand fumbled on the table for the divorce papers. But he accidentally nudged the coffee cup, spilling the contents onto the documents.

"I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!"

Isabella did not accept Cassian's apology and snapped at him, "You must have done it on purpose! Are you pretending to be blind to mess things up? I'm sure you expected Aveline to divorce you, so you planned this."

Hearing the accusation, Cassian felt miserable because he never once thought that Aveline would divorce him. The first person he thought of after the war was over was her.

It hurt because it turned out that Aveline did not share the same feelings with him. He always cared for her even when he was on the battlefield, as evidenced by his efforts to help her succeed in her business.

He never contacted Aveline to reveal the truth because the enemy could have targeted her. As a result, he did everything in secret.

"I didn't fake anything," he defended himself. "I have no intention of messing up the divorce papers."

Aveline felt terrible that the meeting after three years had turned out this badly. She had anticipated her relationship with Cassian to be bad from the start.

But she did not imagine their first meeting would be such a mess. First, Cassian confessed that he was blind, something she never expected. And now, the divorce papers she finally got with great difficulty were messed up by him.

After the passing of her grandfather a year ago, she applied for a divorce, but the government kept rejecting it. Only three days ago was the divorce finally approved.

She could not stand Cassian not trying to contact her at all. Moreover, her fashion business was becoming more and more popular. If Cassian brought nasty gossip to her brand, she could lose a lot.

"I believe you really can't see," Aveline said, looking at the blind stick Cassian had held since the beginning.

Even if he did pretend to be blind, it was pointless because she was going to divorce him no matter what.

"Please state your divorce demands. I will try to fulfill them."

Cassian smiled wryly. "Do we have to divorce?"

Aveline did not respond to his question. Instead, it was Isabella who provided the answer.

She sneered, "It's a must! In just three years, Aveline has become a famous businesswoman. You, an unknown soldier, are no match for her!"

"Give me a chance. I'll try for Aveline."

"A chance, you say? What can you do with those blind eyes of yours? A woman like Aveline deserves a better man."

Cassian was silent. Whether he liked it or not, Isabell's words did make sense. Compared to him, who had lost his power, Aveline was in a much better position.

She must need a man of equal stature to maintain her reputation as a businesswoman. If people found out she was married to an unknown warrior, they would ridicule her.

Three days ago, Cassian was still a God of War that everyone in the country respected and looked up to. But now he was like a homeless dog. He could not imagine he could be this pathetic.

"Fine, I agree," Cassian chose to give in as Aveline did not seem to want to keep their marriage. "I only want my home. My parents left it for me."

Isabella was mad again. The house Cassian wanted was a good property, so she would not let him get it.

"That house is worth a million dollars. You can't take it from Aveline. All this time, you left her with nothing but that house. Do you have the heart to take that away from her? You're a shameless man!"

Unlike the hotheaded Isabella, Aveline could control her temper well. Her secretary became so angry because many people tried to deceive her for their benefit.

She gave a sign for Isabella to stop talking. Staring at the dirty divorce papers, she spoke, "I will send you a new divorce agreement. I hope you understand the reason behind this divorce."

"Yes, I do. You're thinking of your reputation," Cassian smiled with a hint of irony.

"It's good that you understand. You just want your house, right? I'll take care of it."

Isabella let out a disappointed sigh. "You shouldn't have given the house away. Your ex-husband is likely to get you into trouble. Those annoying journalists will try to get information about your divorce."

"It's okay. Cassian is blind, so we should have mercy on him," Aveline replied with a smile.

Despite her calm demeanor, she worried about journalists revealing her divorce. They probably looked into Cassian's past first.

If they discovered he was a soldier who was not invited to the grand ceremony, people might laugh at her for marrying such a man.

"Find someone you can trust to read the whole agreement," Aveline advised Cassian before leaving the café with Isabella.

Now, Cassian was the only one left. The waitress scolded him for making a mess on the table with spilled coffee.

"Sir, I saw you spilled this coffee, but just let it happen. My boss could reprimand me if this table isn't clean before new customers arrive!"

But the look on her face changed when she noticed the blind stick and divorce documents, making her hurriedly leave after cleaning the table out of guilt.

Cassian left the cafe as there was nothing else he could do there. But a group of youngsters running from the opposite direction collided with him.

A young man clucked his tongue. "Hey, use your eyes properly! Didn't you see us coming?!"

"Shhh, look at that," the girl beside him whispered, pointing at the stick held by Cassian.

The others quickly noticed that Cassian was blind. They exchanged glances, smirking. One of them kicked Cassian's stick away.

"Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to!"

Cassian felt wry inside for losing his stick. He had to crouch and fumble on the floor to get it back. When he almost found it, the teenagers kicked it further away.

"Uncle, the stick is on your left. Move over there a bit more!"

"Geez, why do you keep losing it? We've already given you the right instructions."

"Can't you see it? Oh, sorry, I forgot that you're blind!"

Knowing he was being played, Cassian rose to his feet. "Kids, please return the stick to me," he requested gently.

However, the teenagers grew furious at Cassian's actions. They deliberately pushed him, but someone caught his arms this time, preventing him from falling to the floor.
