Chapter 18
In just ten minutes, Krista compared the collected Information and translated all the materials.
After double–checking to make sure everything was correct, she walked out holding the file bag and squinted her eyes when she saw Frankle collapse at the door.
What play is he acting in again?
Wasn’t he planning to pretend to be sick to delay the divorce date?
As she approached him, Krista was very alert and her tone carried suspicion.
“Feeling unwell?”
This sentence is not about concern but about questioning-
Frankie could naturally distinguish it.
He shook his head, propped himself up against the door, and forced out a faint smile.
“It’s okay, let’s go.”
Seeing him push open the door, Krista slowly let her guard down and followed him upstairs.
On the way back to City Hall, neither of them spoke again.
Krista kept looking at her watch to estimate the time. In order to hurry, she even grabbed his hand as soon as they got out of the car and hurriedly went upstairs.
Frankie remembered the day of their wedding, probably because she was afraid that he would change his mind, she was also so Impatient that day.
At that time, his mood was not good, but after seeing her anxious look, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and his fear of marriage
also eased a bit.
Who could have imagined that three years later, they would step into this place again, but this time for a divorce?
Looking at the couples around him who were preparing to divorce in groups, he suddenly felt that divorce didn’t seem like such a big
deal.
Since Krista said their marriage was a mistake, let’s end it.
Only by stopping the mistakes here does he have a chance to start over.
He would not bind her freedom for the sake of marriage. If they divorced, he would then assume a different role and return to her side.
This time, it was his turn to start from scratch and prove his feelings to her.
Although Franke didn’t know if she would give him a chance like he did, she was no longer confused in her heart.
He was willing to spend ten years or even the rest of his life chasing after her.
Not for anything else, only for the promise he made when he got married.
He was determined to spend his whole life with her, and he would never regret it.
After completing the procedures, it was exactly five o’clock, the end of working hours.
Looking at the brand–new red book, Krista felt relieved, and when she looked at Frankle again, he seemed a bit more pleasing to the eye.
She moved her wrist a little, her tone was very cheerful.
“Alright, thank you for taking care of me these past few years. Let’s settle our accounts and say goodbye!”
After speaking, she was about to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.
“Who said it was all settled?”
Krista looked at the divorce certificate in her hand, then glanced at his expression. She felt deeply skeptical about his confident.
Krista looked at the divorce certificate in her hand, then glanced at his expression. She felt deeply skeptical about his confident demeanor at that moment.
“The law has already determined that we are divorced, isn’t that enough?”
“Yes, legally speaking, we are no longer married. But our relationship as former classmates will not change.”
“Then I must remind you that our relationship during our school days was not particularly close, and there was no deep emotional connection worth continuing.”
Frankie did not deny this.
“Yes, I was indeed not friendly toward you back then. Who asked you to always cling to me?”
This was the first time Krista had heard him voluntarily mention those old stories of her pursuing him, and at such an awkward moment after their divorce, her expression became unnatural.
“That was a long time ago, is it interesting to bring it up now?”
“It doesn’t mean much, so let’s talk about something recent.”
What happened recently? What happened?
Krista didn’t know what Frankie was up to and was about to ask him directly when Frankie casually spoke up.
“Didn’t you say that after the divorce, all past grievances would be settled, and you would accompany me in any conversation I wanted to have?”
