All Chapters of After Divorce, I Became A Hotshot Lawyer: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Francesco’s POV Gazing at Josephine's number on my phone, I inwardly deliberated whether or not to call her for the umpteenth time that evening.She hadn't showed up at work or picked any of my calls throughout yesterday, which led me to believe that she was really serious about resigning.I had thought she'd have a rethink after the mind-blowing sex we had the other day, but I guess I was wrong.Regardless, I proceeded to place a call to her and this time, the robotic network provider told me that her line was unreachable.Just as I was about calling her for a second time, the elevator slid open and two women walked in.“Good morning, sir,” They greeted me.“Good morning,” I replied, before dialing Josephine's number again.“By the way, did you hear about Attorney Perkins?”The shorter woman whispered to her partner, but I heard her.Ending the call, I stayed still as I waited for them to continue their conversation.“No, what about her?” The other woman whispered back, and the shor

Francesco’s POV “Here you go,” I said, handing Josephine a bottle of water which she took.“Thank you,” She mumbled, her gaze returning to the glass doors of Sabrina's room. “It's been a week and there's still no improvement, Francesco. What if she really never wakes up?”I regarded her morose countenance for a moment, my heart breaking at how emaciated and gaunt she looked.Josephine had lost so much weight that I didn't think was possible for someone to lose in such a little while, in just a week.She also had eyebags because she never slept. If she wasn't pacing the hallway, she'd be sitting outside Sabrina's room, hoping for the next good news.Although she was discharged from the hospital three days ago, she had refused to step out of the building, insisting she'd only do so when Sabrina wakes up.And being the stubborn person she was, neither I nor the hospital's director or even Alice, could convince her to leave.“Let's see this in a more positive light, Jo,” I said, sitting

Josephine’s POV “I hope we are not forgetting something,” I said, as Francesco lifted Sabrina's hospital bag. “We are not. I already checked everything,” He replied, stroking Sabrina's cheek, which caused her to giggle as she slipped her hand into his other hand.“Okay then,” I replied.After nearly two weeks of being hospitalized, Sabrina was going home today, and I couldn't be gladder.Although I'd still have to bring her to the hospital once a week, for routine checkup, until the doctor stated otherwise, I was still relieved that my baby was finally going home.Walking into the elevator, I watched Sabrina and Francesco talk animatedly about the latest episode of SpongeBob Square pants that she'd watched earlier today, and couldn't feel a warm sensation in my heart.It almost felt normal to have him around.“Can I ask you a question, uncle hamsome?” Sabrina asked, as the elevator started moving.“Yes, pumpkin.” Francesco replied.“Are you my mummy's boyfriend?” Sabrina asked, and

Josephine’s POV I groaned as the incessant ringing of my phone wafted into my ears, disrupting my blissful sleep. Without opening my eyes, I reached over to the nightstand and grabbed my phone. Thereafter, I reluctantly blinked my eyes open and on seeing that it was Alice calling, I answered the call. “Hi, babes,” She greeted. “Hey,” I mumbled, still fighting the urge to go back to sleep. “How's everything going?” “Everything is going well and we all miss you,” Alice replied. “How's Sabrina doing?” My heart warmed at her first statement, “Aw, I miss everyone too, and Sabrina is doing fine.” “So, does that mean you're coming back to work soon?” Alice prodded, and my stomach churned, the warmth in my heart instantly turning into intense pounding. Although Francesco had reassured me that I could take as much time as I wanted off, I still couldn't bring myself to go to work, after re-echoing my intent to resign to him. It would be the most embarrassing thing in the universe. No

Francesco's POV Scanning the sleek black Mercedes GLE, I nodded in satisfaction.“This is nice. I will take it,” I told the car salesman, who nodded.“That's a wonderful choice, sir,” He replied. “Could you give me a second to draw up the necessary papers?”“Sure,” I replied, to which he nodded before leaving the showroom.I was currently at a car dealership to get a car for Josephine.A month had passed since the accident, and she was still using Cabs to transport both herself and Sabrina, which wasn't appropriate at all.So this morning, I'd woke up and decided to get her a car. I could only hope Josephine didn't outrightly reject the car, given how unpredictable she could be.After everything she'd said about hating me, she'd ended up in my bed last night, and that had been the best night of my life in weeks.Fuck, even reminiscing about the tantalizing night, sent blood rushing to my groins.I could still remember how docile she'd been while I fucked her throat like toy, and how
