Chapter 30: Chapter 31

Σ TAQ 36% 14:12 The lawyers of both parties agreed on the time for handling the formalities, and Gilda and Jenserr appeared as agreed at the City Hall three days later.

Gilda took the form and filled it out quickly without hesitation, but Jensen didn’t.

Gilda squinted at Jensen and said coldly, “Mr. Harrington, I don’t have much time.”

Jensen’s face darkened after Gilda urged him, and then he started to fill in the form.

After filling in the form, they handed the forms to the staff at the window.

Seeing the divorce certificate about to be stamped, Jensen suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”

The staff immediately stopped. She didn’t expect that her first pair of clients in the morning were Harrington Corporation’s CEO and his secretary.

She thought that they had fallen in love with each other and were here to get the marriage certificate, but the fact was more shocking—they came to get divorced!

Jensen looked at Gilda arrogantly as usual and asked coldly, “Have you really made up your mind?”

Jensen thought, ‘If she changes her mind now, then… Asking for a divorce and leaving, letting me waste so much money in Geleston, and making Madeleine feel wronged… I can let go of these things first.

‘I’m willing to give her a chance.‘

“Absolutely.” Gilda raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly, “What? You think I’m joking?”

Seeing that Gilda was so determined, Jensen felt really annoyed. He felt that he was pulled by an unknown emotion.

During Gilda’s absence, Jensen realized that they rarely had a serious talk.

Jensen’s tone was obviously a little softer. “I can give you time to reconsider it. Let’s talk about our marriage later. There’s really… too little communication between us.”

Jensen paused and continued, “I know your contribution to Harrington Corporation in the past three years. If you think it through and change your mind, the Harrington family and Harrington Corporation will always welcome you.”

What Jensen meant was clear. He didn’t want to divorce Gilda. Nor did he want Gilda to quit.

“There’s no need for reconsideration or communication.”

Gilda looked into Jensen’s deep and sullen eyes and said in a cold, determined, and mocking tone, “I wanted to give you everything I have before, but you ignored it. Now it’s too late for you to get to know 1. me.

“Besides, Madeleine is already pregnant. Do you want her to be your mistress?”

JM M M “I can handle Madeleine.” Jensen’s eyes flickered.

A 36% 14:12 Gilda was speechless. She thought, ‘We’re about to stamp our divorce certificate, and this idiot still thinks that he’s a charming and popular man whom everyone loves. What a narcissistic jerk!‘

“Don’t think I will go back and devote myself to your family after you say something sweet. Stop dreaming, Mr. Harrington,” Gilda said more sarcastically.

Jensen’s face darkened after Gilda’s repeated taunts. He could no longer suppress his anger and said coldly, “I hope you won’t regret it!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Harrington. That’s never gonna happen!” Gilda replied to Jensen firmly and then said to the staff, “Sorry, hurry up, please.”

After receiving the divorce certificate, Gilda walked away without hesitating, leaving Jensen alone with the divorce certificate in his hand, feeling lost.

Jensen’s deep eyes were fixed on that charming figure.

The marriage that lasted for three years came to an end at this moment, and nothing seemed to have been left.

An overwhelming sense of loss drowned Jensen, making him almost out of breath.

*****

In the Harrington residence, the Harrington family was at the dining table.

To celebrate Jensen’s divorce, Carol had prepared a great meal in the evening.

Madeleine also changed her usual gentle and sweet style into a festive one. She was wearing a red dress as if Jensen’s divorce day was her wedding day.

“Cheers! Let’s celebrate getting rid of that jinx!” Carol took the lead to make a toast delightedly.

Sherry hurriedly raised her glass and echoed, “Our family has finally got rid of that jinx! Jensen, you will be free from now on.”

Madeleine was pregnant she couldn’t drink wine. With juice in her glass, she smiled at Jensen and said gently, “Congratulations, Jensen. You finally get what you want.”
