When Ste Grace returned to the hospital, Eli Wayne was in her office. She ran to Ste Grace worriedly when she saw her. “How did it go? Is Frederick finally afraid now?” Eli Wayne asked.
Ste Grace smiled and said, “We’re divorced.”
“Really?” Eli Wayne was astonished and her eyes were sparkling.
Ste Grace nodded. “Yes, it’s true. We went to the Civil Affairs Department in the afternoon and got the divorce certificate. From now on, I’m free.” Ste Grace uttered.
“Great, great.” Eli Wayne held Ste Grace’s arms and jumped happily.
Ste Grace was ted and grinned excitedly with her hands covering her mouth.
“Let’s hang out tonight to celebrate that you’re single again.” Eli Wayne eximed in joy.
“Forget it. I just want to have a good sleep.” Ste Grace yawned while she rejected Eli Wayne’s invitation.
“Yes, you should have some rest once you’re back home. Let’s celebrate this weekend instead. I’ll head back now, I have an operation this afternoon.” Eli Wayne said.
“Okay. I’ll rest for a while. I have surgery at four o’clock in the afternoon.” Ste Grace said. Her eyes were aching, perhaps because she cried too much, or perhaps she did not have enough rest.
Eli Wayne wittily made an OK gesture before heading out.
She wanted to inform Jasper Milton about the good news.
However, she was a little hesitant.
Should she tell him?
Eli Wayne held a coin in her hands. “If it turns out to be heads, then I’ll tell him. If it turns out to be tails, then I won’t tell him.” Eli Wayne muttered to herself.
She tossed the coin with her eyes closed, and the coin fell onto the ground, making a crisp sound.
She opened her eyes and watched as the coin roll.
The coin rested under the table.
“…” Eli Wayne was speechless.
She moved the table away and found a few coins under it.
“…” Eli Wayne was left speechless again.
When did she drop so many coins under the table?
Even if she didn’t inform him, Jasper Milton would know anyway. Why shouldn’t she help Jasper by giving him the information?
She made her decision dly.
She called Jasper Milton.
He answered.
“Hey, Ste and Frederick are finally divorced. She got the divorce certificate. However, you should leave her alone today. She didn’t sleepst night. Don’t tell anyone that I told you.” Eli Wayne exined.
Jasper Milton’s lips curved upwards.
Lieutenant Johnson finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Chief smile.
When the Chief was unhappy, the people around him suffered a lot.
“Got it, thank you.” Jasper Milton answered, his tone was more rxed.
“However, Ste has her own thoughts, and she’s stubborn. Take your time. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a watch for you. If your rival shows up, I’ll inform you immediately. Break a leg!” Eli Wayne encouraged him.
“Sure.” Jasper Milton replied.
Ste Grace’s cell phone rang as soon as she got off work. The call was from Frederick Addington. She hesitated before answering the phone.
“What’s the matter?” Ste Grace asked in confusion.
They were divorced now.
She was a little worried. This couldn’t be good.
“We’ve agreed that you’ll meet me two days a week for a few hours, remember? You’re off work now, and I’m at Blumont Coffee, the one near your hospital, in the same private room. Do you want me to pick you up or can youe by yourself?” Frederick Addington asked.
Ste Grace couldn’t understand Frederick Addington.
He suddenly agreed to a divorce. Prior to the divorce, she would never see him for an entire month. Yet after the divorce, she was meeting him more often.
“I’lle by myself.” Ste Grace said, still confused.
She went to Blumont Coffee and walked straight into the private room. Frederick Addington was alone in the room, and he was ying with his mobile phone.
Ste Grace sat opposite him.
“Would you like a drink?” Frederick Addington asked.
Ste Grace shook her head. “I haven’t had a good rest for a few days. I’m a little tired. I don’t want to drink anything.” Ste Grace answered.
“Rest for a while then.” Frederick Addington lowered his head and looked at the sofa.
Ste Grace frowned and looked at him cautiously.
Frederick Addington smiled, his fingerszily pointed at the table. “If I were to do something to you, you don’t have the ability to resist even if you’re sober. I promised I won’t touch you, and I mean it.” Frederick Addington said firmly.
Ste Grace agreed with him. She was really exhausted. She had to spend three hours with him anyway. She would rather sleep on the couch rather than looking at him.
Shey down on the couch, turned her body inwards, and closed her eyes.
She was so tired that she fell asleep almost immediately.
Frederick Addington nced at her thin figure, he took off his suit and ced it on her body like a nket.
He began to work on official business.
Frederick Addington read a message on his phone. “Master Addington, Milton Corp is alsopeting for the piece ofnd in Clearwater Bay. They’re nning tobine Clearwater Bay and Bluesky Bay.”
Frederick Addington’s lips curled upwards as he replied, “Make sure we get thend. The more they want it, the more I will not give it to them.”
“Yes, I will ce the bid.” The person sent a reply.
“I’ll send you my priceter.” Frederick Addington typed.
He sent a text message to Felicia Chuck, “See you at my ce in three hours. I have a gift for you.”
“Muax!” Felicia Chuck replied with a text message.
Frederick Addington’s eyes remained indifferent. He sent out another message. “Wrap my divorce certificate over a diamond ne of about 10, 000 dors.”
“Sure.” The reply message came.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Frederick Addington observed Ste Grace.
She was sleeping soundly, breathing lightly, and she was very quiet.
She was beautiful when she was asleep, without any make-up. She was more beautiful without make-up.
He took a few photos of her on his mobile phone. He picked one and set it as his wallpaper screen. He gazed on the photo and subsequently deleted it.
Ste Grace’s mobile phone rang.
He frowned and took out Ste Grace’s mobile phone. It was from Eli Wayne. “What’s the matter?” He sent a message on behalf of Ste Grace.
“Ste, didn’t you say that you’reing home to rest? Howe you’re not at home?” Eli Wayne asked in confusion.
“I’ll be backter.” Frederick Addington replied on behalf of Ste Grace. He put Ste Grace’s mobile phone in silent mode and ced it back into her bag.
Ste Grace woke up and recalled that she was still in the private room. She sat up and looked at Frederick Addington, who was still sitting opposite her. “What’s the time now?” Ste Grace asked.
Frederick Addington checked his watch. “Fifteen minutes past ten, you’ve slept for about five hours.” Frederick Addington answered.
“I’m going back.” Ste Grace ced his suit aside and stood up.
Frederick Addington handed her a jewelry box. “Take it.” Frederick Addington said.
“What’s this?” Ste Grace nced at the jewelry box. She didn’t want to take it.
“Remember the jade bracelet that I owe youst time? I bought it for you, but my mom took it because she liked it. I bought you a new one, the quality is better than the one before. Take it.” Frederick Addington exined with a cunning smile on his face.
Ste Grace was very cautious of Frederick Addington.
A man would buy clothes for a woman so that he could easily take them off.
A man would buy jewels for a woman so that he could win her heart.
The more valuable the jewels, the easier it was to make her fall in love with him.
“No, I don’t need it.” Ste Grace said while she walked straight towards the door.
Frederick Addington frowned.
The more she didn’t want it, the more he wanted to give it to her.
He took out the jade bracelet, held Ste Grace’s hand, and put it on for her.
Then, he left.
She took the jade bracelet off and put it back into the jewelry box.
She couldn’t take anything from him.
