Chapter 3

Yep. The moment Sandra made such a face, the one at fault could only ever be me.

However, all I was doing now was flipping through the contents of my briefcase to search for the divorce agreement.

I didn't manage to find it in the end. I most likely left it at the restaurant earlier.

"What are you looking for now?" Sandra asked. She shifted to her side and leaned over to look.

I hummed but said nothing further. I didn't like how close she was to me right now.

That night, I ditched the master bedroom and slept in the guestroom instead. My sleep was very peaceful and deep.

…

Considering that I had been seeing Sandra more frequently these two days, I decided to amend the divorce agreement.

I was deep in thought at my desk when Sandra suddenly gave me a phone call. She told me to head to her office and hand in some documents.

I thought about it and decided not to bring up the divorce yet. After all, Sandra hated it when any personal affairs were brought up in her office—especially when it had to do with me.

I hadn't expected William to be there when I arrived.

William was one of our clients' son. He was also a renowned livestream host. He was currently sitting on Sandra's office chair, spritzing some cologne on himself while peering into a mirror.

"You're here, Linc," William called out. There was a somewhat provocative look in his eye as he gazed at me.

I gave him a friendly smile in return, then set the documents on the desk.

I was about to leave when Sandra suddenly called to me.

"Give me my meds, Lincoln."

I glanced at Sandra and instantly understood why.

Sandra was born in wealth and luxury. She had a more delicate constitution than most and was allergic to many things, including certain perfumes.

That was why I could never really buy any skincare products after marrying her. She'd even snap at me if I bought different shampoos.

"Do you even care about me anymore?" she would hiss.

I gradually developed a habit of carrying Sandra's allergy meds with me.

Looks-wise, I was a pretty decent fellow. I just stopped grooming myself as much after marriage. In truth, all I needed was a quick wash.

"I didn't bring it," I said. My eyes were fixed on William's cologne.

I wasn't trying to imitate him. Sandra just happened to be allergic to William's cologne.

"I should start paying more attention to how I look once the divorce goes through," I thought to myself.

Irritation appeared in Sandra's gaze. Her tone was laced with disbelief as she spoke. "How could you not have brought it? You know how I get…"

"That's just wrong, Linc. You ought to be more concerned about Sandra," William cut in.

Sandra grew silent. She probably realized she couldn't comment further in the situation we were in.

After all, I'd just forgotten to bring her allergy medication. I wasn't the one causing her allergies to flare up.

"I'll send you back to retrieve it then," Sandra said.

She immediately felt a little embarrassed upon saying so. It was a little inconvenient to send me home just to get her medication for her. She was the one who needed it, not me.

"Go on your own. I have a lunch meeting," I replied.

I did indeed have a lunch meeting.

Besides Sandra, Jasper was the best lawyer to look for when it came to divorce cases. Since I wanted to amend the divorce agreement, I naturally had to get some help.

It wasn't like I could ask Sandra to amend the agreement, right?

…

Jasper and I agreed to have lunch at the cafe beside the firm.

I asked him some questions about the details of the agreement as we ate.

"Are you really going to divorce your wife?" Jasper asked. His eyes were sympathetic.

He wasn't aware that Sandra and I were married. In fact, no one in Kimmel & Partners knew.

Sandra hated it when people's private affairs were brought up in the office, after all.

"Yep. She has another man on the side. But it's no big deal. I've wanted to divorce her for some time now anyway," I said.

Just then, I saw Sandra and William walking into the cafe, all smiles.

Sandra instinctively stopped smiling the moment she saw me. She even took a step back away from William.

I shot both of them a polite smile.

I then called the waiter to switch Jasper and me to a table outside the cafe. The sunlight was just nice right now, and this position ensured we'd not be an eyesore to the lovebirds inside.
