Chapter 20


    Josiah knitted his brows as he stared at me. His dark eyes were scrutinizing me as if he was trying to


    know the truth.


    I wasposed. I sat quietly and let him size me up.


    After a few moments, he parted his lips and agreed, "Okay!"


    "Thank you, Doctor Saunders!" There was no need for exnations when dealing with smart people.


    With just a knowing nce, they would understand everything.


    After the waiter served the dishes, he nced at me and asked meaningfully, "Miss Reid, you''re smart.


    Have you beenying low?"


    I chuckled. "I''m ttered. It''s just a way to survive. Besides, Hendrix and I are not fit for each other. It''s


    not the right time to have a baby."


    He tried some food and he seemed very satisfied. He turned his attention back to me and asked,


    "When are you going to leave?"


    I was taken aback. I looked up to meet his eyes. In truth, I was shocked. I was nning to get rid of the


    baby before filing a divorce. I nned to leave Ucrebury but I was not sure where I should go.


    To my surprise, he guessed all my ns.


    I put down the cutlery and paused before replying, "Maybe in two months. I haven''t decided where I


    should go."


    "You can go to Andnd. It''s a great ce to live," he suggested. He seemed to be full. He set down


    his cutlery and wiped his lips elegantly with a napkin.


    It was a good suggestion. I nodded and responded, "I will consider it!" Although Andnd was not as


    prosperous as Ucrebury, it would be great for slow living. Andnd would be an ideal ce for living.


    The dinner was supposed to be my treat. However, he paid the bill in advance. We left the restaurant


    together and I stared at him. I promised, "I owe you one. I''ll treat you next time!"


    He turned over his shoulder and replied, "I hope we can have our next dinner together in Andnd."


    I was stunned. I merely smiled because I did not know how to answer him.


    It was gettingte and I should go back. I was walking to my car when he suddenly asked, "Have you


    decided when you''re getting the surgery?"


    I turned to nce at him and nodded. "Tomorrow!"


    Since I made up my mind, I should get it done as soon as possible.


    He nodded and looked at me. "Does Hendrix know?"


    "No, he doesn''t!" I shook my head and added, "I don''t intend to tell him!"

    He frowned but did not express any opinion.


    I started the car and noticed that he was standing beside his car. I did not want to speak more, thus I


    bid him farewell and drove back to the vi.


    Ten minutester, I pulled over at the entrance of the vi. I did not get out of the car. Instead, I took out


    the divorce papers that Kelsey gave me.


    I was a little uneasy. Initially, I thought that I would only sign it if Hendrix decided to threaten me with a


    knife to my neck. Unexpectedly, I would take the initiative to sign the paper.


    I was not worried about the dividing of assets. Hendrix was always generous. He promised me the vi


    and Roberts Group''s annual bonuses.


    I found it funny as I read the documents. Perhaps, Hendrix assumed that I married him for those things


    in the first ce. He probably thought that I would agree to the divorce if he gave me everything I


    wanted.


    After pausing for a long while, I signed the papers.


    I went into the vi and noticed that the hall was dark. I changed my shoes and reached out to turn on


    the light. Suddenly, I saw a man sitting in the cold hall.


    I was shocked. I was uneasy when I met his bottomless eyes. I could not tell what he was thinking.


    After calming down, I stared at him and asked, "Why didn''t you turn on the lights? Have you had your


    dinner?"
