Chapter 1124
I had already reached the door, but I didn’t see him following behind. I furrowed my brows and looked back. Reynaldo was standing still in place, holding his overcoat, with a blank expression on his face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Seeing him like this, a touch of annoyance surged in my heart. The children would be getting out of school soon. I had to be on guard against Kimberly’s persecution now, so when the children finished school, either I or he had to pick them up in person. He dawdled like this; when would this matter be finished?
I took a deep breath and shouted impatiently at him, “Wasn’t it Mr. Humphrey who asked me to come here for a divorce? What’s the point of Mr. Humphrey standing there?”
Mr. Humphrey was not only a president, but also a prominent figure in Freybourne, and he tended to be a bit slow in his actions. If Mr. Humphrey were still a man, then please be more efficient, don’t be so fussy!
Reynaldo suddenly looked at me deeply. Those eyes, dark as ink, like a dry well that makes one’s heart race, filled with a deep, deathly silence. Every time I glanced at him now, it was just making myself feel uncomfortable.

I ignored him and walked straight into the courthouse. The windows for divorce and marriage were separated and placed on either side. The middle was the inquiry counter and the registration counter. I glanced up and then walked towards the window on the divorce side.
As soon as I sat down, the staff said to me, “One person cannot come to handle a divorce.” I turned around and looked back, and sure enough, Reynaldo had not come in yet. I suppressed my anger and said to the staff, “He is right outside; he should be coming in soon.”
The staff didn’t say anything; they just gave me two forms to fill out. I picked up the pen next to me and filled in some basic information. There were some parts that I wasn’t sure how to fill out, so I was about to ask the staff. The staff then approached me and said, “Why hasn’t your husband come in yet? It’s been almost ten minutes; even the lame have entered. I actually think he doesn’t want to divorce you; he is just dragging his feet. I suggest you go back and calm down, think carefully; after all, marriage and divorce are major events in life; don’t make a hasty decision; you might regret it later.”
"Don’t you want to divorce me? Oh, how is that possible?"

If he didn’t want a divorce, why did he bother calling me over the phone? I said to the staff, “Thank you for your kindness, but it was him who wanted a divorce and invited me here.” The staff’s face showed a hint of surprise, and after a while, she said, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
After waiting for another five minutes, Reynaldo still didn’t show up. I was so angry that I was in a bad mood. The person who called me to divorce was him, and now he’s causing trouble for me again. What does he mean by that?
I took out my phone and angrily dialed his number. The phone rang for over ten seconds before Reynaldo answered. He took the call and said nothing. Somehow, I now feel angry when I look at him, and I feel even angrier when I hear him silent.
I suppressed the anger in my heart and said, word by word, “Didn’t you ask me to come for a divorce? Where are you?”
