Semua Bab The Search for True Love... or Regret: Bab 1 - Bab 8

"What do I need to do to get a divorce, Mr. Lane?" I asked.I was planning on divorcing Willow Lockwood and ending our four-year marriage. My lawyer, Harrison, drafted a divorce agreement in accordance with my requests. "Once the document has been signed, you'll need to wait for a month before the divorce can be finalized."Since our assets were acquired before we got married, we didn't have any financial disputes. I took the divorce papers with me and returned home.Willow was working in the study when I got home. I walked over to her and flipped to the last page of the divorce agreement before placing it down on her desk. "Your assistant just sent this document over. It needs your signature." I pointed at the dotted line.Willow was a busy woman. Every now and then, I helped her with some of her work too. She didn't sign the document immediately. "Let me take a look," she said.I instinctively held my breath. In order to avoid any unnecessary complications, I wasn't pl

Willow had always been calm and collected. I'd never seen her lose her composure like that before.When her eyes met mine, I said emotionlessly, "I'll just ask the waiter to clean this up. You can go.""My friend rear-ended someone else's car. I need to go take a look," she explained.She must've noticed that I was being unusually calm. "Is it that childhood friend of yours?" I asked.She nodded before turning to leave.The spread of food looked delicious, but I'd lost my appetite. Not wanting to waste food, I continued eating despite the fact that everything now tasted stale and flavorless.When I walked out of the restaurant, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I thought there were going to be drinks at dinner, so I left my car at home. Hence, I could only take a taxi to the hospital. I waited for what felt like forever, but not a single taxi showed up. Since I had no other choice, I took out my phone and called Willow. I dialed her number a dozen times, but she d

I had a great relationship with my friends, and they had taken a dislike to Willow a long time ago. They told her she'd never cared about me and claimed that was why she wasn't aware that I'd gone overseas for work.She felt incredibly guilty. She asked my friends to call me, but they didn't entertain her request. Truth be told, I really wanted to tell her to stop looking for me. I was never going to get back together with her. Willow texted me every single day. My phone wouldn't stop vibrating while I was at work. I found it very irritating. She had never been the type to nag at me. Since our divorce wasn't finalized yet, all I did was mute her messages.However, Willow was determined to find me. She even hired someone to look into my whereabouts overseas. She kept waiting for me to send her a reply, but I never did.In the last few days, she had sent me more messages than she ever did throughout our four-year marriage.In order to force me to show myself, she posted a pictu

I raised a brow at Zachary. "We're divorced now. So, you can pursue her if you want. Since she was so in love with you, she's bound to reciprocate your feelings sooner or later."Zachary shook his head with a smile. "You're the only person that's on her mind right now. Are you sure you don't love her anymore, Benjamin?"I froze for a moment before turning to look outside. Love wouldn't just vanish overnight. People would only fall out of love after enduring too much hurt and disappointment. "We're never getting back together. It's over."Once I wrapped things up, I headed back to Paree. The company I was working for was relatively new. So, a lot of work had piled up while I was on leave.After I returned to my job, I buried myself in work. My days were incredibly busy. By the time I returned to my hostel at night, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.One morning, after I walked out of my hostel, I was just about to head to work when I spotted a familiar figure.
