Chapter 3

Damien didn't come home the next day either.

After getting ready, I left to meet my lawyer.

As soon as I walked into the firm, I saw the divorce papers laid out on the table.

"Ms. Thompson, this agreement needs to be confirmed by both you and Mr. Shaw."

"If there are no issues, after signing and getting through the one-month waiting period, you'll be completely free."

I nodded and asked the lawyer to contact Damien.

But he cruelly hung up ten calls in a row.

Just as I was about to go find him myself, the call finally connected.

But what I heard was a man's heavy breathing and a woman's moans.

The lawyer looked incredibly awkward.

My heart was utterly calm, and I spoke flatly, "Damien, you need to sign the divorce papers, you..."

Before I could finish, Damien cut me off.

He sounded extremely impatient. "I'm busy. You just sign for me, don't notify me about every little thing."

After he spoke, I heard Chloe's voice again.

She deliberately called out loudly, urging, "Damien, don't stop!"

As the call disconnected, I faintly heard Damien's low reprimand, laced with a tenderness he hadn't shown me in ages.

"Why are you getting out of bed without shoes? You'll catch a cold."

I forced a smile, unable to decipher the feeling in my heart.

"He's authorized me to sign, so I will."

The lawyer also sensed Damien's attitude and reluctantly handed me a pen.

My fingers moved lightly, signing both Damien's and my own name.

The divorce papers were signed. Next, to tackle the company issues.
