Chapter 137 Got Their Certificates
It was late at night when Shawn returned to his room. Norah was already asleep.
He had lightened his movements and slept on the floor, more like lying down than sleeping.
He couldn't sleep all night.
Early the following day, the two packed their things and returned home.
As they left, Norah took one last look at the place with a lingering look in her eyes.
Although the place was small, she liked it because of their Grandparents' love story.
This was Shawn's grandparents' house. After the divorce, she could never have the chance to come back.
Later, he might bring others, such as his beloved girl, his next wife, his children...
Thinking about it, Norah suddenly felt her heart prick and pinch.
Soon the past would be past. She shouldn't bother about it!
She could not keep what didn't belong to her.
"Let's go!" Norah turned around.
It was just about ten in the morning when the plane arrived, as Norah and Shawn had left early.
After getting off the plane, Norah asked Shawn, "Are you free today?"
"Yes."
"Then we can get divorced today. Let's go to Mom and Dad's together, pick up our papers, and get the divorce paperwork done."
When he heard this, Shawn was dumbfounded, as if lightning struck him.
He knew that she had made up her mind and was determined to divorce.
But he had never thought it would be so soon. She wanted to get divorced as quickly as they got off the plane.
Couldn't she wait to divorce him?
Shawn felt heartbroken.
Shawn's long fingers were almost white from the force he clenched the case. It took him a long time to squeeze a word out of his throat, "OK."
The two got in the car together and went to the old mansion.
Neither Susan nor Marty was at home when they arrived, which made it easier for them to pick up their papers.
Norah was relieved, and so was Shawn. Shawn said, "Since Mum and Dad aren't here, we shall return another time to get our certificates."
But Norah said, "It's good that Mom and Dad aren't here. We can pick up the papers in case they disagree with our divorce."
Shawn was confused and asked, "Aren't they keeping the certificates? We can't do the paperwork if we do not have certificates."
"The papers are in Grandpa's room, and he gave the key to Mom before he left." Said Norah, pulling out the key, "Mom gave it to me long ago."
Shawn was frozen for a moment. It took him a moment to react. Shawn looked at the bag on Norah's waist, "So, you had taken the keys with you before we went to Grandpa's house."
"Yes. I don't have to run back to get them again." Norah said.
Her softly spoken words made Shawn feel heartbroken.
She had the keys with her, meaning she planned to get divorced.
That was why she had been too impatient to get the paperwork done after getting off the plane.
