Chapter 34

Looking up, Joyce smiled awkwardly, "I ......"

"No ....."

She stammered and finally came up with something to say, "Don't you

need to take off your pants to sleep? Isn't that uncomfortable?" What a

shame, it was so close.

Luther glared at her and took a deep breath. Then, he got himself

under control, and re-buckled his belt.

"Well, forget it if you don't need it. Go to bed and have a good night."

Joyce hurriedly lay down in the corner of the bed, and she curled up to

sleep as far away from him as possible.

It was really awkward. Her heart was pounding.

She didn't fall asleep until the daybreak.

Aaron arrived in the early hours of the morning and had the Maybach

with the broken glass towed away for repairs. He also drove a Bentley.

For safety reasons, he stood outside of the inn on night duty.

Until Luther woke up from his nap.

The early morning sunlight shone in, spilling dappled light and shadows

in the room.

Joyce slowly opened her eyes. In fact, she did not fall asleep, and just

took a nap for a while when it was almost dawn.

She sat up with a terrible headache.

Aaron knocked on the door and brought a change of clothes. Joyce

had met Aaron before, and she reached out to take them with a slight

nod.

Each washed up briefly.

The two walked out of the room and Joyce checked out of the room.

Aaron has been waiting outside for a long time.

Luther glanced askance at Joyce, a tired face with dark circles.

He teased, "Didn't sleep well?"

Joyce looked up and said without a smile, “How can I possibly sleep

well with you around?"

How ambiguous the words were, she didn't even realize it herself.

Luther, "......" really didn't know if she can tease, or was an

afterthought.

Instead, Aaron lowered his head in embarrassment. He'd better not be

curious about his boss's thing.

He handed over a kraft paper bag containing sandwiches, milk coffee,

etc., "Luther, you will have a little breakfast first."

Aaron drove the car, and Luther and Joyce sat in the back.

Joyce took out her sandwich and ate it. The bread was fluffy and the

meat was fresh and delicate. She was afraid of that the sandwich Aaron

brought was packed from one of the top dim sum restaurants.

Aaron respectfully asked, “Luther, back to the main house first?"

"First to the civil affairs bureau." Joyce mumbled with her mouth stuffed

with breakfast.

Luther looked at her silently. His handsome eyes under his sword

brows seemed not angry.

This woman, on the contrary, was impatient and put him in an

unpleasant mood.

“No business first?" Joyce was surprised. Did she say something

wrong? Wasn't he the one who said yes yesterday?

"To the civil affairs bureau.” said Luther.

“You're not eating? It's delicious." Joyce handed it to him.

Luther did not pick up, coldly said, "No need." There was no need to

eat with her for he was already full of anger.

Joyce rolled her eyes for his sarcastic tone. Forgot it.

It was far away and the car took a long time to drive.

Joyce fell asleep with a full stomach, and when she woke up, the car

was already parked in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

In the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Came Joyce's surprised voice.

"What?!" Unbelief was written all over her face, "A cooling-off period for

divorce?! What is this?"

The staff explained briefly, "Sorry Miss, it's like this, from January 1 this

year, a cooling-off period has been added to the divorce procedure. You

need to apply first, and within thirty days from the date we receive the

application, either party who does not want to divorce can withdraw the

registration application. When the thirty days expire, both parties need

to come in person to apply for the divorce certificate. Failure to show up

will be considered as withdrawal of the application.”

Joyce was stunned, which meant that it would be thirty days before the

divorce was official.

"Well, then, let's apply first." She said helplessly.

"Okay, please show your IDs." The staff said.

Joyce took out her citizenship card.

She saw Luther standing still with his hands in the pockets and a cool

look on his face.

She looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Where is your ID

card "000000000000
