The divorce papers were separated into a set for each of them. Zoey went to the marital affairs department with hers and handed them to the clerk. The clerk glanced at Mr. Croft and said, "Is he your husband?" Zoey was nonplussed and answered truthfully, "No. He's my husband's lawyer." The clerk frowned and couldn't understand why the other party hadn't shown up for something as important as a divorce. Her workload was heavy, and she couldn't help being short-tempered. She got even more frustrated when something like this happened. "Please call your husband and ask him to be present. You can't get married alone. The same goes for a divorce," she said. Zoey already expected this because she had done some research online. She had thought that since Mr. Croft hadn't pointed it out, perhaps it wasn't mandatory for Laurence to be present. "I'll contact him right away," said Zoey. "Next."Zoey walked into the corridor to call Laurence. Before dialing his number, she looked at Mr

Jason's suspicions slowly faded as he watched Zoey’s expression. She put aside the pasta and ate some vegetables. She was feeling better and less nauseous than before. Without noticing, she finished her lunch with no leftovers. After finishing his own food, Jason asked, "When are you planning to move? Do you need my help?" Zoey seriously contemplated the offer and shook her head, saying, "I don't have much stuff. I can just take a taxi." Henry spoke up suddenly, "I drove today. I'll go with you later."Jason gave Henry a hard stare, seemingly sensing something in the air. Before Zoey could answer, he interjected, "That sounds okay too. Get going earlier in the afternoon."Zoey nodded and agrreed, "Oh, okay." Jason still needed a checkup in the afternoon and get his wound rebandaged. Zoey watched her uncle being wheeled into the checkup room before leaving with Henry. Henry's car was parked outside the hospital. Zoey opened the door to the backset, changed her mind and circled

Laurence swiped the entertainment news page away, but the picture was branded on his mind. He couldn't brush it off. He shut off his phone and turned to return to the room, shutting out the moonlight. He tossed his phone onto the bed, overwhelmed with an indescribable sense of exhaustion. Laurence had always been in control, but nothing had gone his way in the past two days. He felt distracted at work too. He sat against the headboard with the divorce papers resting on the bedside table under the dim light. He hadn't read it thoroughly in the morning but had time now. He scanned every word in the document. His sore eyes felt even more tired. Laurence gripped the papers so hard that the skin over his knuckles went white. He locked the papers in the bedside drawer to get them out of sight. When he first met Zoey, he had never thought this day would come. The ending he had pictured was supposed to be peaceful and consensual, but in reality, he hadn't been calm at all. Love was uncontr

Zoey wasn’t seriously planning on moving back to Southgrove. Her mother and uncle were still in Northwell. So was her studio and business was slowly picking up. It did not make sense for her to leave Northwell just because she wanted to avoid seeing someone. It wasn't worth it, and she would not act rashly either.Zoey felt sleepy after she ended the call with Rose. She found she wasn't as upset as she thought she'd be after hearing the news about Laurence finding himself new lovers. She didn’t even have the urge to look it up online. When she thought about it, this was what happened to the majority of people. Drifting apart from the person one fancied in their youth was inevitable. It was rare for anyone to have everything go the way they wished.Zoey didn't bother sparing Laurence much thought. She was so tired that she fell asleep in seconds.The next day, Zoey was late for work as she had been so exhausted that she couldn't wake up that morning. She was busy with the Porters proj

Zoey was momentarily stunned. Her brows slowly knitted together, and she no longer sounded as cheerful as she had been seconds before. "No." She hurriedly added, "But my monthlies never come on time. I usually have them at the end of the month, and that's more than ten days away." Her hasty explanation sounded like she was trying to cover things up. "Rose, what are you implying?" she asked. As much as she tried to steady her voice, it had an uneasy undertone. She smiled, albeit a very forced smile. "You aren’t assuming I’m pregnant, are you?”Rose hoped she was just overthinking things. "Yes, that must be it. I’m jumping to conclusions too hastily," she thought to herself. Zoey had been married to Laurence for two years, and they never had a child in that time. Could she be so unfortunate to find out that she was pregnant right after their divorce? "No, I was just asking offhandedly. Don't let the thought mess with you," Rose assured."Now that you mention it, there do seem to
