Chapter 194

Before heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jane stopped me and carefully applied a bright red lipstick for

“For such a joyous occasion, you should be lively and festive. Alright, off you go!”

After she finished applying the lipstick, she seemed quite satisfied and waved at me.

I chuckled, feeling that my suppressed emotions seemed to lighten up a bit. Yes, wasn’t this what I had longed for?

I rallied myself and went out. When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was exactly two o’clock.

I had waited countless times over the past three years and wasn’t willing to wait any longer. However, once again, it was me waiting for him.

Fortunately, he didn’t keep me waiting for long..

A few minutes later, a tall figure stepped down from a black Maybach. He exuded a strong and intimidating aura, his brows and eyes radiating coldness, clearly in a displeased mood.

Since we had reached the stage of divorce, he had become increasingly revealing of his true nature. There were no more pretenses of gentleness and restraint.

However, besides him, two other people got out of the car.

Jessica was arm in arm with Lauren, following behind Ryan. She was completely unaware of her own disgrace, although Ryan had long known about it.

Ryan left the two of them behind and walked up to me without pausing for a moment. “You’ve been looking forward to this divorce, aren’t you going to hurry up?”

“Okay.”

I glanced at the mother and daughter behind him and smiled. “Are you here to pick up both the divorce certificate and the marriage certificate? You’ve gone to great lengths to avoid your father committing bigamy.”

coor

The corners of his eyes twitched, his voice flat. “I never knew before, that you were so good at mocking people.”

“I used to like you.”

‘I liked you so much, so much that I lost myself,‘I added inwardly.

How could I bear to say something unpleasant to him?

He paused for a moment, his figure slightly frozen, but he didn’t stop. Emotions in his pitch–black eyes were hard to discern. “Do you not like me at all now?”

His tone was very light, as if he were asking if I was hungry at all.

Caught off guard by his question, I lowered my eyes to hide my emotions. Just as I walked through the gates of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I pointed to the machine at the entrance, “I’m going to get a number.”

“No need.”

As soon as he spoke, a middle–aged man in a suit and leather shoes approached from the office area. Mr. Frost, please come this way.”

Ryan nodded slightly and glanced at me with a heart–piercing gaze. “Aren’t you in a hurry? Let me save. you some time waiting in line.”

I smiled. “How come I never realized how thoughtful you were?”

Unlike his sarcastic tone towards me earlier, this time I genuinely praised him.

Before, his tenderness and thoughtfulness were never sincere, always superficial and false.

I never thought I would experience such thoughtfulness from him at the moment of divorce. It was quite

nice.

The middle–aged man led us into the office, collected the documents we had brought, and brought in the papers that needed to be signed. Two trips later, we had two fresh divorce certificates in hand.

Everything went smoothly.

If it weren’t for Ryan’s phone ringing, it would have been a day of finally gaining freedom for me,

Just as we finished signing the papers and handed them over, his phone started ringing like crazy. “Speak.

After listening to the other end of the line for a few seconds, Ryan suddenly stood up, looked at the middle–aged man, his voice cold as frost. “Let’s cancel this today!”

His tone was icy and heavy, sending chills down my spine.

After saying that, he was about to leave in long strides,

It must have been something urgent.

I also stood up, feeling a strong sense that something bad had happened. “Why? We’re almost done. Are you going back on your word again?”

“Why?”

He turned back to glare

at me, his eyes poisonous, every word sounding like it was squeezed out between his teeth. “Don’t you know why, Charlotte? You accused me of going back on my word, but are you any better?”

His anger almost overwhelmed me.
