All Chapters of Learning Love From Goodbye: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Carina smiled. It indeed felt as though she was just starting out on a new life.She never felt more relieved ever since leaving Aster. She didn't have to think about what Aster would want for dinner. She also didn't have to worry about anything he was doing.From today onward, she didn't love him anymore. She also didn't need him anymore."Mr. Chastain, since it's the first day after the waiting period, I'm not sure if there's any other paperwork or procedures that I need to go through."Leo looked through the divorce agreement Carina handed over to him. Both she and Aster had already signed the paperwork, so he said, "There's nothing else you need to do, Ms. Sherwood. "Everything is properly done. You just need to remember to file the divorce at the courthouse within 30 days. Otherwise, the divorce will be withdrawn."Carina frowned slightly. "Must we be there in person?"Leo knew that Carina was concerned about this step. However, it was the state law, and there was nothing

"Carina is my wife," Aster said.Now that things had turned out like this, he didn't want to hide it from the company any longer. He couldn't let it drag on anymore.If he could, he wanted the entire world to know that Carina was his wife.But now, all he had were regrets."Technically, she's my ex-wife. Carina's divorcing me."As soon as the words were out of his mouth, both Stella and Esteban were shell-shocked, and their jaws dropped to the floor.It was such shocking news, and yet, Aster had managed to hide it from them for five whole years.There were hundreds of people working at the company, and none of them ever noticed.Stella dropped her documents to the floor. She pointed at Aster in disbelief and said, "Asty, didn't you always tell me that you were single? How could you have a wife?"Aster saw how shocked Stella was, and yet, he couldn't think of a way to answer her. He just opened his mouth, but nothing came out.He couldn't possibly tell her that he'd just been

"I wonder if you know this man, Mr. Ducant?" Delphine asked Aster before turning around and leaving afterward.Aster fell to the ground, paralyzed, when he heard what she said.He suddenly recalled Carina asking him about renting a place for Stella out of the blue one day. He also remembered that the owner of the house had mentioned that he was planning to rent the house to a young lady, a Ms. Sherwood.But he never thought much about it.Aster pummeled his fist into the ground. The rough cement floor cut into his skin and grazed his knuckles raw. Blood spilled out, making a huge mess, but Aster couldn't feel any of the pain.He never knew that there had been such a huge difference between his thinking and Carina's.They had been under the same circumstances, but Carina could immediately tell that it was him. As for him, he would never even have thought that it was her until somebody pointed it out.Aster threw his head back and let out a loud scream. He didn't care that the oth

This time, Aster stayed quiet for a long time.He found himself a lot calmer now, despite Carina's insistence on their divorce.He'd thought back about the past and realized all the hurt he'd caused her. But first, the most important thing was to find her and talk to her.It didn't matter if Carina wanted to yell at him or beat him up. He would only have a chance to explain himself if she were willing to see him again.And now, it seemed as though the only time he'd be able to see her again was on the day they filed the divorce in the courthouse.He knew that she would have to be there in person to file the divorce.After thinking about it, Aster nodded at Leo and said, "I have time, and I can file the divorce anytime after today. I'll just follow Carina's schedule."Leo found Aster's disheveled self rather pathetic. He couldn't believe that the CEO of such a huge company would allow himself to wallow in self-pity like this.Still, none of this was his business."Since you agr

Early the next morning, Carina waited for Aster at the courthouse until the sun rose high in the sky and the air turned hot and humid.Aster never appeared, so Carina kept calling him. He only picked up after the 13th call."I'm here." Aster's tired, hoarse voice could be heard through the call.A short while later, Carina caught sight of Aster coming toward her from opposite the road.He was walking very slowly, taking forever to take one single step forward. By the time he finally reached her, Carina had already lost most of her patience.However, when she saw that he hadn't brought anything with her, she immediately frowned and demanded, "Is this what you mean by agreeing to the divorce? Where are your documents? Your copy of the marriage certificate? Did you bring nothing with you?"Aster went silent for a few seconds. Then, he pleaded, "Carina, can we please not get divorced?"Carina immediately realized what was up. Aster was trying to trick her into going back to him. He
