Chapter 5


    "Young Master, which way are you headed?" the driver asked carefully as his hands tightened around


    the steering wheel.


    Arthur sighed softly and pinched his forehead wearily. "Head to Goldfinch Vi."


    If it wasn''t for his body''s needs, Arthur wouldn''t go there at all.


    It was ridiculous. In the past, whenever he saw Lucy calling him, he would feel extremely annoyed. But


    now that there wasn''t even a single text from her, he actually felt unused to it.


    He felt as if something was bugging him, making him feel slightly ufortable.


    ...


    As soon as he got out of the car, he could see the vi brightly lit even from afar. He could also smell


    the faint aroma of food.


    Sure enough, weren''t the divorce settlement and the ne crash just some trick of hers?


    How could something bad happen to someone just like that for no reason?


    "Sir, you''re back." The moment he walked through the door, he saw Aunty Julianne bringing a bowl of


    soup to the table in the living room kindly.


    Arthur stopped in his tracks. Only then did he recall that it was a Friday, and Lucy would do all the


    house chores if she was around. Even so, Arthur had hired a helper to do the cooking and cleaning on


    weekends.


    "Where''s Lucy?" Arthur pretended to ask casually and handed his briefcase to the helper.


    "Young Master, which way are you headed?" the driver asked carefully as his hands tightened around


    the steering wheel.


    "I don''t know. I didn''t see her even when I arrived. She might have gone out and should return very


    soon."


    Aunty Julianne sounded a little happy when she spoke. She had been working there for more than half


    a year, and she could tell that the couple did not seem to have a good rtionship. Although Lucy had


    a good character, Arthur had always been indifferent.


    Now that Arthur had taken the initiative to ask, Aunty Julianne undoubtedly felt a little happy about it.


    She still hoped for the young couple to get on well with each other.


    Arthur didn''t say anything and went straig


    ht to the bedroom on the second floor, walking hastily.


    As soon as he opened the bedroom door, the old smell of perfume hit him. Nothing much seemed to


    have changed inside, but a lot of things seemed to be missing.


    Just as Lucy had said, there were a few thin sheets of paper on the tidy bed. He could see the words


    "divorce settlement" clearly even from a distance away.


    "Lucy?" Arthur called out hoarsely, starting to feel something.


    On the dressing table was a bunch of white roses that had not wilted, but her skincare products were


    all gone. After looking around for a while, Arthur realized that the wardrobe was still filled with clothes.


    He should hove felt relieved, but those clothes were expensive ones thot he hod gifted her, from foncy


    gowns to suits. Lucy...hod never even touched them?


    There were olsoplete sets of floshy essories ond limited edition hondbogs. Anything he hod


    gifted her hod been left behind.


    It looked like she wosn''t willing to bring olong onything thot hod onything to do with him.


    ''Ho, Lucy, how nice of you!'' he thought.


    Arthur wos still expressionless. He picked up the thin pieces of poper from the bed ond tore them to


    shreds ofter o quick glonce.


    The shreds of poper fell on to the bed like snowflokes ond mode Arthur''s eyes look os cold os ice.


    Hod Lucy gotten his permission to leove?


    Bock then, she hod tried so hord to get into his ponts. So olright then, he hod mode her Mrs. Johnson.


    But did she think she could get rid of him so eosily with some divorce settlement?


    Dreom on!


    "Aunty Julionne," Arthur colled out. He pointed ot the clothes in the wordrobe thot still hod their price


    togs on with o gloomy expression. "Pock up Lucy''s stuff ond throw them out."

    "I..." Aunty Julionne wos stunned os she rubbed her honds on her opron, ot o loss.


    "I won''t repeot myself." Arthur wos burning with onger.


    He should have felt relieved, but those clothes were expensive ones that he had gifted her, from fancy


    gowns to suits. Lucy...had never even touched them?


    There were alsoplete sets of shy essories and limited edition handbags. Anything he had


    gifted her had been left behind.


    It looked like she wasn''t willing to bring along anything that had anything to do with him.


    ''Ha, Lucy, how nice of you!'' he thought.


    Arthur was still expressionless. He picked up the thin pieces of paper from the bed and tore them to


    shreds after a quick nce.


    The shreds of paper fell on to the bed like snowkes and made Arthur''s eyes look as cold as ice.


    Had Lucy gotten his permission to leave?


    Back then, she had tried so hard to get into his pants. So alright then, he had made her Mrs. Johnson.


    But did she think she could get rid of him so easily with some divorce settlement?


    Dream on!


    "Aunty Julianne," Arthur called out. He pointed at the clothes in the wardrobe that still had their price


    tags on with a gloomy expression. "Pack up Lucy''s stuff and throw them out."


    "I..." Aunty Julianne was stunned as she rubbed her hands on her apron, at a loss.


    "I won''t repeat myself." Arthur was burning with anger.
