Serena Jennings clearly saw Caleb Lockwood’s signature on the divorce agreent.
The handwriting was carefree and beautiful.
Finally...
She was going to divorce Caleb Lockwood.
After the divorce, she would have no further ties with Caleb Lockwood.
Caleb Lockwood could be openly together with Claire Shaw.
No.
Even if Caleb Lockwood hadn’t divorced her, he was already openly together with Claire Shaw.
"What, regretting it now?"
Serena Jennings lifted her head and saw naked mockery in Caleb Lockwood’s eyes.
"No..."
Serena Jennings shook her head.
She did not regret it.
It’s just that when she actually got the divorce agreent with Caleb Lockwood’s signature, she wasn’t as excited and thrilled as she had imagined.
Perhaps because this divorce was initiated by Caleb Lockwood.
Because he didn’t want to be dragged down by her.
"Do you have a pen?" Serena Jennings asked.
"No."
Caleb Lockwood’s answer left Serena Jennings stunned.
If she rembered correctly, Caleb Lockwood had a habit of carrying a fountain pen with him.
"Do you think I said that on purpose, to give you an excuse not to divorce?"
Serena Jennings realized that Caleb Lockwood still didn’t believe she truly wanted to leave him.
Caleb Lockwood was arrogant.
But Caleb Lockwood certainly had the capital to be arrogant.
"I’ll find a pen at ho and sign it."
Serena Jennings put the divorce agreent away.
"Don’t leave yet."
Caleb Lockwood pulled Serena Jennings into the kitchen.
"Before we divorce, make one last batch of dicine, my stomach hurts."
"Claire Shaw won’t make it for you after work?"
"She’ll be tired after work."
The reason Caleb Lockwood gave made Serena Jennings amused, yet she didn’t laugh.
In the end, she left The Jade Pavilion alone without making Caleb Lockwood that final batch of dicine.
Caleb Lockwood stood at the kitchen door for a long ti, his face dark, rubbing his aching stomach.
Serena Jennings hailed a taxi.
Just in case, she wore a mask.
Sitting in the taxi, she took the three copies of the divorce agreent out of her bag and only then realized that a paperclip was attached to the divorce agreent.
There was also a very inconspicuous, easily overlooked band-aid on the paperclip.
Serena Jennings’ heart suddenly raced.
This band-aid...
Could it be intentionally given to her by Caleb Lockwood?
Serena Jennings instinctively touched the wound on her forehead.
Was she overthinking it?
Or was it because they were getting divorced that Caleb Lockwood was offering her one last bit of kindness, for a good parting?
Looking at the divorce agreent with Caleb Lockwood’s signature on it, Serena Jennings felt conflicted.
Sitting in the taxi, she had read through the three copies of the divorce agreent several tis; there were no excessive clauses, but she didn’t get a penny.
She was leaving with nothing.
However, Serena Jennings didn’t care about money, so when she got ho, she signed her own na on it.
She sent Caleb Lockwood a ssage:
I’ve signed all three copies of the divorce agreent, see you at the civil affairs bureau at eight tomorrow morning. Is this ti convenient for you?
Caleb Lockwood replied quickly:
Convenient.
Serena Jennings breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt that no one in this world had a harder divorce than her, right?
But fortunately...
It’s finally over.
Unintentionally seeing her reflection on the phone screen, Serena Jennings touched the band-aid on her forehead and sent Caleb Lockwood another ssage:
Is your stomach pain better? Have you taken the dicine?
At that ti, Caleb Lockwood had already returned to the office, listening to Mr. Miller’s report.
The phone vibrated, and Claire Shaw picked it up beside him.
Serena Jennings hadn’t been sleeping well these days.
Though the online hot searches were still fernting, at least she could divorce Caleb Lockwood tomorrow, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
As she lay on her bed to take a nap, she received a reply from Caleb Lockwood:
No need for you to ddle. From tomorrow, you and I are two unrelated people.
The sharpness and coldness between the words instantly made Serena Jennings, who was originally sleepy, beco alert. She touched the band-aid on her forehead.
Clearly, the band-aid was applied, but the wound inexplicably hurt even more.
The Lockwood Group.
General Manager’s Office.
After listening to Mr. Miller’s report, Caleb Lockwood noticed Claire Shaw holding his phone.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, just a spam ssage. I helped you delete it."
Claire Shaw returned the phone to Caleb Lockwood.
Caleb Lockwood didn’t even look, placing the phone on the desk.
Serena Jennings originally thought she would sleep soundly, but instead, she was tornted by nightmares, waking up several tis, and in the morning, her head felt like it was about to explode.
She tore off the band-aid on her forehead; the wound had already scabbed over.
But it still hurt.
Applying a simple and elegant light makeup, she put on a formal suit.
Today, was the day she went to the civil affairs bureau to get her divorce papers.
More solemn than when she went to get the marriage certificate.
With the divorce certificate, her ten-year love should end.
Serena Jennings opened the private album in her phone with a password.
Inside was that old photo.
She wanted to delete it.
She should delete it.
After hesitating for a long ti, Serena Jennings pressed the delete button.
After hesitating for a long ti, she pressed cancel.
Let’s wait until after getting the divorce certificate!
Serena Jennings admitted she wasn’t soone who could easily let go.
Arriving ten minutes early, she reached the civil affairs bureau.
Caleb Lockwood also arrived.
This ti the driver was Mr. Miller, indeed changing cars, no longer the black Maybach but the imperial blue Bentley Flying Spur.
As soon as Caleb Lockwood got out of the car, he saw Serena Jennings eagerly hand him the three copies of the divorce agreent, as if showing him she had signed them, truly wanting to divorce him.
A graceful smile lifted into a shallow yet cold arc.
He glanced down, seeing Serena Jennings’s na signed on all copies.
Caleb Lockwood’s smiling lips beca stiff.
Before they entered the civil affairs bureau, Mr. Miller suddenly shouted, "It looks like there are reporters over there."
Serena Jennings indeed saw several people far away rushing over with gun-type microphones.
Looking back at Caleb Lockwood, he had already sat in the car.
Mr. Miller hit the gas, and the imperial blue Bentley sped away like the wind.
Serena Jennings felt inexplicably baffled.
They hadn’t processed the paperwork yet!
But it’s truly not the ti to process the divorce paperwork now.
Serena Jennings didn’t know why these reporters were here, whether they were here for her and Caleb Lockwood.
But she was now half a "internet celebrity" and didn’t want to be caught by reporters at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau.
Unlike Caleb Lockwood with a luxury car, Serena Jennings had to hide in a nearby café.
Ordering a cup of coffee, she browsed her phone.
Dylan Quinn was in trouble!
Riverbend Properties was caught evading taxes and even suspected of embezzling state-owned assets, not only exposing Dylan Quinn for keeping many celebrities and internet personalities, but also facing a divorce with Laura Sanders and jail ti.
Serena Jennings felt the world was so surreal.
Just a few days ago, Dylan Quinn and Laura Sanders were still so arrogant.
However, no matter how big Dylan Quinn’s issue was, it still couldn’t grab the number one hot search spot.
Currently, Serena Jennings being a mistress had been removed from the hot search, but her na was still trending, and had beco the top entry—
Caleb Lockwood and Serena Jennings have been married all along?!
