Chapter 212: They Finally Divorced


    “Well, then you don’t need to queue up,” the officer said as she pointed at a service window at the


    corner, “You may go through the divorce procedures here.”


    “Thank you.”


    “Excuse me. Do you know the cooling-off period? Thew requires a thirty-day cooling-off period


    before filing for divorce,” the officer said.


    Estelle said gently, “Our cooling-off period happens to end today.”


    “Okay. Please follow me.” The officer smiled awkwardly and made a gesture of “please.”


    The hall was quite lively, and the people waiting to register for their marriage formed an S-shaped


    line.


    Estelle looked around and found that there were about a hundred people in the hall. And the


    couples were all beaming with joy.


    At this time, the voices of a young couple came from not far away.


    “Hold it down. Don’t talk nonsense!” a youngdy said.


    “I’m serious! We have reached an agreement on it, haven’t we? After we get married, we will have a


    son and a daughter. Our son will adopt my family name, and our daughter will adopt yours,” the


    young man beside her said.


    “No, the babies are born by me. Both of them should adopt my family name.”


    “All right. Anything you say, darling. Can you sign it now?”


    “I need to think about it twice.”


    “Why?”


    “It’s necessary to think carefully before getting married. What if you treat me badly after we get


    married? What if I want to divorce you in the future?”


    Hearing this, the young man immediately tried to cate her, “How is it possible that I’ll treat you


    badly? I’ll be good to you forever. Today is our big day. Don’t talk about divorce. Look. The people


    here all came to get a marriage license. There’s no oneing here to get divorced.”


    After he finished his words, the two of them looked in the direction of the service window for divorce


    procedures at the same time, and their eyes happened to meet Estelle’s.


    The young couple looked to be in their early twenties. When realizing that Estelle might have heard


    their conversation, they were a little embarrassed and smiled at her apologetically.


    Estelle shook her head with a kind smile, indicating that she didn’t mind what they had said.


    Then she realized that she and Cristofer were the only coupleing here for divorce today.


    “Star, we were like them when we got married,” Cristofer said, “We also said that we would have a


    son and a daughter. And our son would be named Yohan, and our daughter would be named


    Yvonne.”


    Estelle looked away from the young couple and lowered her head to look at the papers in her hand,


    saying in a low voice, “It’s all in the past. Our marriage hase to an end. It’s meaningless to talk


    about it now.”


    “You are right.”


    The divorce officer was a middle-aged woman.


    “Sir, Madam, please show me your ID cards and the other relevant papers,” she said with a serious


    expression.


    Estelle and Cristofer then handed her their ID cards, marriage license, and divorce agreement.


    After confirming their identity information on theputer, the officer said, “The cooling-off period


    happens to end today.”


    “Yes,” Estelle said, “Please help us go through the divorce formalities.”


    While scrutinizing the divorce agreement, the officer asked in surprise, “Miss, you want custody of


    the children but didn’t im anymunity property?”


    “Yes.”


    “It will be hard for you to bring up two children alone.”


    “It’s okay,” Estelle smiled and said, “As long as I can get divorced, I’ll live a better life.”


    Hearing this, the officer suddenly raised her head, looking at her and then shifting her gaze to


    Cristofer.


    After looking at Cristofer for a few seconds with her sharp eyes, she sighed and said, “You two are


    good-looking and looked quite well-matched. And you’ve had two children. s. What a pity.”


    After a while, all the divorce procedures werepleted.


    “The divorce certificate is in duplicate. Here you are,” the officer said.


    “Thank you,” Estelle said and took one copy. Then she stood up, turned around, and left without


    hesitation.


    Without taking the divorce certificate, Cristofer fixed his eyes on her with mixed feelings.


    Suddenly, his phone rang.


    He nced at the caller ID and answered the phone, “Uncle Luke, what’s up?”


    “What? Now?”


    “But... Uncle Luke, I don’t think she will go with me.”


    “Okay, I’ll have a try.”


    At this moment, Estelle, who had walked out of the hall, was standing at the roadside.


    When she waved her arm to hail a taxi, Cristofer suddenly grabbed her arm.


    “Star, could you do me a favor?” Cristofer looked a little flustered.


    Estelle pulled her arm away from his hand and kept a certain distance from him.


    “We have nothing to do with each other now. I don’t think there’s anything I can help you with.


    Besides, from now on, please call me by my name. Or you call me Miss Hudson.”


    “I see,” Cristofer said with his tone full of sadness. “Estelle, Grandpa had a heart attack and is not in


    good condition. He wants to see you. Could you go to the hospital with me?”


    Hearing this, Estelle hesitated. Seeing the flustered expression on his face, she knew that he was


    not lying.


    She knew Cristofer well. Even if he wanted to spend more time with her, he wouldn’t make up such


    an excuse as his grandfather having a heart attack. After all, Gary was his only family after his


    parents passed away.


    “Sta... Estelle, as long as you go to the hospital to see Grandpa, I will do whatever you want me to


    do. I beg you. Please,” Cristofer said in a pleading tone.


    Remembering that Gary was good to her, Estelle nodded and agreed to his request.


    ****


    It had been almost half a month since thest time she came to the Hans’ Residence.


    Somehow, every time she came here, she felt uneasy. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Cristofer took Yvonne away after she was born and brought her to this ce. It was also at this


    ce that Gretchen and Melody harmed Yvonne, and she almost died.


    Although most of the time, Yvonne was taken good care of by Uncle Luke here, Estelle still didn’t


    like this ce.


    By the time Estelle and Cristofer arrived, Luke had been waiting at the gate for a long time.


    When Luke saw them, he walked over with the rims of his eyes turning red.


    “Mr. Hans, Estelle, you are finally here! Please don’t say anything to irritate Old Mr. Hanster. The


    doctor said that Old Mr. Hans can’t have violent mood swings, or he’ll be in danger again!”


    “How is Grandpa now?” Cristofer asked.


    “Fortunately, we have the family doctor at home. Old Mr. Hans was saved in time,” Luke said.
