Chapter 387


    "But... he had never done anything to hurt me. In fact, he saved me the first time I met him." At that


    moment, Ariah didn''t know why Jimmy resisted Ro so much. "He might have a veryplicated


    background, or maybe he did do some shady things, but it''s a fact that he once saved my life."


    At this point, Jimmy''s face turned dark again. When Ariah realized he was about to get angry, she


    decided not to provoke him any further as she was afraid that he might go back on his words.


    So she immediately changed the topic and said softly, "But I''ll listen to your advice, and I''ll try to


    stay as far as I could from him. After all, we''re just acquaintances."


    Only now did Jimmy''s expression be much more rxed.


    "Let''s go then." After that, Ariah opened the door and got out.


    Meanwhile, Jimmy sat in the car and stared at her figure for a moment. There was a sh of gloom


    in his eyes. In the end, he closed his eyes as a sign of defeat, took out his documents, and went


    down with her.


    Both of them were shocked when they arrived at the divorce registration office. There seemed to be


    many couples who wanted a divorce today.


    It made Ariah a little speechless. Was getting a divorce a trend now?


    However, Jimmy was expressionless. Among the crowd, he was the tallest, and his strong figure


    made appearance seemed outstanding. Although he was casually standing there, his temperament


    was unparalleled.


    In a daze, Ariah stared at him. As a woman, she was still attracted by his charming temperament,


    although they were about to divorce.


    But it was just a little indulgence that she had because, after the affair that he had, her feelings for


    him had gradually faded.


    If he didn''t cheat on her, she would''ve stayed by his side till the end of her life.


    However, these were all the thoughts that she had in the past.


    Since he had already let her down, there was no reason for her to be reluctant to leave.


    After they filled out the application forms, the two began to line up. There were too many people,


    and the long line went up to the corridor.


    Silently, Ariah stood there as she thought to herself how long they would have to wait since there


    was such a long queue.


    Meanwhile, Jimmy, who was right behind her, didn''t say a single word from the moment he entered.


    Instead, he stared straight at Ariah with a burning gaze. There were a few times when Ariah


    identally met his gaze, but she didn''t even dare to look at him right in the eye.


    Things got even worse when it was lunch break after they have waited for a long time, and there


    was only one staff member who was on duty by then.


    In the end, those staff actually went out for lunch, and their half an hour of waiting had gone to


    waste.


    It left Ariah with nothing to say.


    In fact, she wanted to swear!


    However, Jimmy said nonchntly, "Why are you standing there like a fool? Come here and have a


    seat."


    Then, he pulled her to one side as the two of them sat there awkwardly and waited for their turn.


    As time passed, Ariah had no idea why she was getting more annoyed. Despite that, Jimmy


    seemed to beid back, and he even had a rxed expression on his face.


    Finally, Ariah couldn''t hold it in any longer as she lowered her voice and said, "Hey, can''t you use


    your identity as an officer to get us through any shortcuts?"


    Surprised, Jimmy looked at her and asked, "A shortcut? What shortcut do you mean?"


    "I mean, your department is somehow rted to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so I''m sure you can ask


    someone else to help us find a way and let the staff firstplete our divorce procedure, right?


    What do you think?"


    Otherwise, if they were to continue to wait like this, when would they be able to get it done and over


    with?


    When Jimmy heard her words, he snorted and said, "You''re thinking too much. We arepletely


    two different departments, and we''re not even rted!!"


    That answer left Ariah at a loss for words.


    "Besides, I have always been honest and faithful with my duties. I certainly don''t want to do such


    things." Then, Jimmy nced at her and continued, "It''s either you wait patiently ore again


    another day. It''s up to you."


    If he had always been honest and faithful, why did he cheat on her?


    With this argument stuck in Ariah''s throat, she tried so hard to hold them back and managed not to


    say them out loud!


    Then, she decided to continue and wait patiently.


    After Ariah put away those thoughts, she snorted, "Anyway, I''m on leave right now, so I can wait, but


    things are different for you, Officer Hudson. You have work to do, and you might be called for work


    anytimeter!"


    However, Jimmy didn''t pay attention to her while he sat with his eyes closed as if he was taking a


    nap.


    It made Ariah so furious.


    Suddenly, a couple that sat next to them started to quarrel, and theirnguage was impassioned


    and out of control. The two started to reveal each other''s shorings as they swore and said


    unpleasant things loudly. The man even went too far as he began to reveal that he had an affair with


    another woman, "It''s not my fault that I cheated on you. Why can''t I find another woman who is


    prettier than you? Look at your figure. You are so fat. Other women remain the same after giving


    birth, but why are you so fat? Do you even know how disgusting it is for me to hug you every day?"


    Meanwhile, the woman didn''t expect that she would be insulted so unbearably by her husband as


    she covered her face and cried on the spot, "You ruthless man. I gave birth to three children for you.


    You said that the C-section was not good for the child, and you made me gone through natural birth


    even when the doctor said that it was not going well. After that, you said that breastmilk was better


    than powdered milk, so you told me to eat more so that I can get fatter and produce more


    breastmilk. Now that you have a mistress, you start to condemn me. What did I do in my life to have


    married you a beast like you!"


    While Ariah looked at the scene, her mouth was agape, as if she was watching a farce.


    At the same time, she felt that the man was extremely disgusting. On the contrary, she thought that


    it was good for that woman to divorce because at least she could get rid of that disgusting man!


    When she thought about her rtionship with Jimmy, although they had asional quarrels


    between them, they had never been to this point!


    Even in quarrels, Jimmy would never insult her, let alone say such harsh words like this man.


    The couple''s argument was so fierce that the security guards had to chase them out.

    "I won''t mind if you''re fat. It''ll be morefortable to hug if you are fatter." At that moment, Ariah felt


    a sudden warmth in her ear as Jimmy deliberately lowered his voice and spoke. Instantly, she


    turned her head to re at him.


    However, Jimmy looked at her with a smile and flirted with her as if no one else was around. "My


    dear Ariah is so beautiful that she almost took my breath awayst night."


    When Ariah heard those words, her face flushed as she red at him, "Jimmy!"


    Did he even know where he was at? Wasn''t he afraid of being heard by others when he said such


    shameless words?"


    Satisfied with her flushed face, Jimmy withdrew his gaze and curled up the corner of his mouth as


    he leaned back in his chair.


    For a long time, Ariah was pissed.


    In fact, they originally thought that the office would be in peace after the disturbance by the previous


    couple was over, but who would''ve thought that another couple would start to cause a scene?


    This time, it was not a huge quarrel, but a reunion of a couple after an enforced separation, and it


    was a good ending.


    Not sure whether they were too emotional or had figured out something, the couple hugged each


    other and cried for a long time before they went out together. As they left, they said, "Let''s not get a


    divorce anymore. I still love you, hubby." "Well, I love you too, honey."


    Ariah watched in silence as the couple left.


    Finally...


    Just as their eyes were going to be worn out after a long wait, the staff returned from their lunch


    break.


    Immediately, Ariah let out a sigh of relief.


    There were only two more couples ahead of them. As Ariah held the rted documents tightly in


    her hands, she was too nervous that she didn''t notice the burning gaze behind her.
