Chapter 634
You Hit My Heart
The only thing he saw in a woman crying was distraction and
annoyance.
He decided to get engaged to Charlotte simply because he wanted to
take his responsibility.
However, when he saw Joyce shedding tears silently in front of him, the
scene deeply shocked him and deeply touched him.
He was obviously slapped, but he did not get angry at all.
He even wanted to say something to comfort her, but with his pride, he
simply could not allow himself to say any words of apology.
His eyebrows furrowed. Without saying a word, he straightened his
clothes, buttoned his shirt, fastened his belt and re-tied his tie. Except
for some creases in his expensive shirt, it was as if what had just
happened had never happened.
He raised his wrist to check his watch. He frowned slightly. It was after
11:30. Damn, the engagement ceremony downstairs must have been
postponed, and everyone was waiting for him.
He looked at his phone again. He had turned the silent mode because
he had a headache and didn't want to be disturbed.
Sure enough, there were hundreds of missed calls on his phone, and
countless messages, all asking where he was and urging him to come
back.
He frowned deeply and sent a quick message back to Jacqueline, "Wait
another ten minutes."
And by this time, Joyce had already put on her own clothes.
Tears were still on her face, and her red, swollen lips trembled slightly.
He glanced over, pulled out some napkins, and reached out to wipe her
tears for her.
As if frightened, she cowered back as if he was some beast that would
strike her again.
He frowned deeper. The way she avoided him made him extremely
uncomfortable.
The words that came out of his mouth were still cold as he wanted to
say sorry to her and realized that he had gone too far.
"There are two pieces of paperwork on the table that need your
signature.â
He finally convinced himself that Joyce was just a gold-digging
heartthrob, and that he could no longer be bewitched by her, no matter
how heart-wrenching she looked at the moment, and no matter how
intense the sensual stimulation she brought him. He simply could not
allow himself to be bewitched and influenced by this woman again.
Joyce picked up the pen on the table and quickly signed her name. He
had not signed his name, but she didn't care. After she was done, she
simply tossed the pen onto the table.
Since the divorce papers were signed, he would never have anything to
do with her again.
Hadn't she been humiliated enough by him? The longer she stayed
here, the more humiliated she felt.
There were two divorce certificates underneath the file, and she drew
one of them away. After that, she stood up hastily, turned around and
left the room. She could not bear it to stay a minute longer.
"Wait..."
Luther just wanted to say something, but unfortunately Joyce had
already darted out the door, and with a "bang", she heavily slammed
the door close.
He actually wanted to say that the divorce certificates still needed to be
signed by the judge before they became valid.
On second thought, however.
Forget it, anyway, the judge had signed the divorce papers and she had
just also signed them. With his signature, these papers would be valid.
They could ask the judge to sign on their divorce certificate later.
Only, when he picked up the pen on the table, he hesitated...
