Norah scoffed. "Mr. Carter, you're mistaken. When did I ever beg you not to divorce?"

Derek then recalled that Norah had only asked a question earlier, not once begging or resisting the divorce. Recalling how swiftly she agreed to sign the divorce papers, Derek's frustration grew. He finally muttered, "Fend for yourself."

Derek grasped Madeline's hand, ready to leave. However, Madeline gently freed herself and said, "Derek, go ahead. I need a moment to speak with Norah."
