Chapter 29

There was no response on the other end of the line. Tessa called out again. Still, silence. "I'm hanging up if you don't speak." "It's me," Zachary finally said. "Tessa, unblock me on WhatsApp and your phone." Tessa frowned. "No." His tone was awkward and uncertain. "Can we stop fighting? I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have said those things to upset you." "It's fine. We've broken up anyway. It doesn't matter." She was indifferent. "Broken up?" Zachary's voice turned cold. "I never agreed to a breakup." "Breaking up isn't the same as getting a divorce. You don't need to agree." Tessa's words were cold and firm. "Zachary, don't contact me again." After hanging up, Tessa blocked his number. She paused to reflect on her career. Tessa had always dreamed of building her own practice. While she could technically open her own law firm, she knew that without much recognition in the industry, it would be difficult to establish herself.
