Chapter 140 They have got divorced
"Norah, do you know how reluctant I am?"
"Do you know that I really want to be a deserter, and I don't want to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with
you at all."
"You can't imagine what a ridiculous lie I have told today. I did that just to delay the time to go to the
Civil Affairs Bureau. Norah, I regret it!"
He was so regretful that he felt quite painful.
However, she wouldn't give him a chance anymore.
If possible, he didn't want to bring this meeting to a close.
If possible, he hoped that she could not wake up again, and then, he could stay with her forever,
watching her quietly all the time.
However, as long as it was just a dream, all things would come back to reality at last. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
As if feeling someone standing beside her, Norah opened her eyes. When she saw Shawn, she sat up
straight immediately, "Have all matters been done?"
He wanted to deny it.
However, this lie could no longer be made up.
"Almost." He said sadly and bitterly.
Norah rubbed her eyes and checked the time subconsciously. It was already several minutes past four
in the afternoon.
The time was a bit rushed, but as long as the road was smooth, they could get there on time.
"Wait a moment."
Norah went to the bathroom and washed her face.
When going out, she saw that Shawn was leaning against a corner, with his tall and straight figure back
to her. He was shrouded in a thick layer of smoke. There was a cigarette in his hand, with sparks
shining wantonly.
"Let's go!" Norah walked over and said calmly.
Seeing her come out, Shawn took a deep breath and threw the cigarette into the rubbish bin.
"Okay." He said bitterly.
In the car, both of them were very quiet, as if everyone had their own thoughts.
Norah opened the window. Her hair fluttered and danced in the breeze.
She stretched out her hand, and lightly brushed the hair that was blown by the wind. Her eyes looked
calm, but her heart was already in chaos.
While waiting for the red light, Shawn reached out his hand to take out a cigarette from the cigarette
box. Then he looked at Norah and signaled, "Do you mind?"
Norah shook her head, and then said, "You can smoke!"
Before, she was disgusted at this kind of behavior --- men smoking before her.
It was because Kelvin Dulin's favorite things included smoking, drinking, and gambling.
He was addicted to cigarettes. Sometimes, he even smoked several packs a day. So his whole body
was covered in smoke, which smelt very bad.
But it seemed that she didn't hate smoking at all ever since she met Shawn and saw him smoking.
In other words, she still didn't like smoking, but she liked the way he smoked.
Shawn also opened the window. He leaned against the window with one hand, holding the cigarette
between his slender fingers, and put another hand on the steering wheel. He exuded understated
elegance. He was always handsome admittedly.
They had waited for a relatively long time, and the cars behind them pressed the horn impatiently.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Norah also became a little anxious, and asked, "It seems very slow.
Is it blocked in front?"
Shawn took a look at the road conditions. "It should be blocked by a car accident."
"Norah, how about ..."
Before he finished speaking, the traffic moved suddenly. It seemed that the road had been cleared.
"Shawn, we can go!" Norah's tender face was full of joy and excitement when saying that.
"Uh-huh!"
The road following was smooth. Even though Shawn had deliberately driven the car very slowly, they
still arrived before five o'clock.
As it was already after work hours, the hall was deserted, with only a handful of people present.
Norah walked to the service window and handed all the certificates and prepared documents to the
staff.
The staff took a look at them and was very surprised. After all, the handsome man and the beautiful
woman seemed to be a very suitable couple. How would they come to divorce?
"Why do you want to get divorced?" The staff asked routinely.
"Our relationship is broken!" Norah said calmly.
The staff glanced up at Shawn. Although he was handsome, his eyes looked cold. He didn't say a
word. He shook his head reluctantly, and then looked at Norah, "Once this book is changed, we will be
completely separated. Are you sure?"
Norah had always thought that she was very calm, very very calm.
This was what she had been looking forward to for a long time, wasn't it?
However, when all things had happened, she couldn't regret it and go back to the past. As she thought
of the moment when they would become complete strangers after getting their divorce papers, her
heart couldn't help but ache painfully.
Her heart felt a lingering, subtle pain that was sour to the taste.
It wasn't obvious or serious, but her heart was full of bitter and sharp pain.
Norah took a deep breath. She winked and said coldly, "We have decided. Please help us file a
divorce."
The staff looked towards Shawn, "What about you? Do you agree to file a divorce?"
Shawn looked up with his cool eyes. He paused for a long time and then he said slowly, with agony in
his heart.
He said, "Just follow her thoughts. I agree."
When hearing these words, Norah felt apart.
He agreed.
He agreed at last!
These words finally ended their marriage.
She thought she would be happy. After all, she had waited for and looked forward to this day for a long
time.
However, she wasn't happy when knowing that he had agreed at last.
Apparently, she was reluctant to get divorced from him.
She was quite reluctant.
Just at the next moment, the staff took two red "Marriage Certificates" back and gave them two
"Divorce Certificates".
Norah got two certificates. She kept one for herself and gave another one to Shawn.
"It is useless. You can keep them. I don't need them." Shawn glanced at the certificates and said
lightly.
He felt very fretful. Once he saw the red certificate and thought the words --- "Divorce Certificate" on it,
he didn't feel happy at all.
Norah's outstretched hand froze and took back slowly.
He didn't even want to keep the "Divorce Certificate". The marital relationship between them must be
quite terrible to him.
That would be fine. It was fine to end the relationship completely.
"I want to go to the restroom."
Norah didn't pretend to be relieved and cry recklessly until she got to the rest room and washed her
face.
Tears with water were flowing quietly on her cheeks.
She reached out her hand and put it to her heart.
"Was it painful? Apparently, she didn't feel the sense of relief she had imagined, but instead she felt a
lot of pain that she couldn't bear."
Was she willing to do that?
It had been ten years, but now they finally became strangers.
She lost him at last. This time, she lost him completely and the time couldn't turn back.
Norah washed her face for a long time with water. She didn't stop until she forgot how to cry. Finally,
there were no tears flowing down her cheeks.
She raised her head. When looking at herself in the mirror, she attempted to squeeze an upward curve
for the corners of the mouth with her hands. She said to herself, "Dear Norah, just smile! You have
loved him for ten years, stayed with him for seven years, and got married for two years, but you still
don't let him fall in love with you. It is not your fault, as you have tried your best."
"It will be fine to get divorced from him. You can begin your own life. Maybe you will also meet a person
who loves you truly in the future."
Though she told herself these words several times, she still felt quite painful.
When Norah got to the hall, her face had already turned normal. It seemed that nothing had happened.
Shawn was waiting for her at the entrance. He walked towards her when seeing her go out.
"I would like to invite you to dinner."
"Let's go and have dinner together!"
They looked at each other and said almost with one voice.
