Chapter 140 They have got divorced
"Norah, do you know how reluctant I am?"
"Do you know that I really want to be a deserter, and I don't want to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you at all."
"You can't imagine what a ridiculous lie I have told today. I did that just to delay the time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Norah, I regret it!"
He was so regretful that he felt quite painful.
However, she wouldn't give him a chance anymore.
If possible, he didn't want to bring this meeting to a close.
If possible, he hoped that she could not wake up again, and then, he could stay with her forever, watching her quietly all the time.
However, as long as it was just a dream, all things would come back to reality at last.
As if feeling someone standing beside her, Norah opened her eyes. When she saw Shawn, she sat up straight immediately, "Have all matters been done?"
He wanted to deny it.
However, this lie could no longer be made up.
"Almost." He said sadly and bitterly.
Norah rubbed her eyes and checked the time subconsciously. It was already several minutes past four in the afternoon.
The time was a bit rushed, but as long as the road was smooth, they could get there on time.
"Wait a moment."
Norah went to the bathroom and washed her face.
When going out, she saw that Shawn was leaning against a corner, with his tall and straight figure back to her. He was shrouded in a thick layer of smoke. There was a cigarette in his hand, with sparks shining wantonly.
"Let's go!" Norah walked over and said calmly.
Seeing her come out, Shawn took a deep breath and threw the cigarette into the rubbish bin.
"Okay." He said bitterly.
In the car, both of them were very quiet, as if everyone had their own thoughts.
Norah opened the window. Her hair fluttered and danced in the breeze.
She stretched out her hand, and lightly brushed the hair that was blown by the wind. Her eyes looked calm, but her heart was already in chaos.
While waiting for the red light, Shawn reached out his hand to take out a cigarette from the cigarette box. Then he looked at Norah and signaled, "Do you mind?"
Norah shook her head, and then said, "You can smoke!"
Before, she was disgusted at this kind of behavior --- men smoking before her.
It was because Kelvin Dulin's favorite things included smoking, drinking, and gambling.
He was addicted to cigarettes. Sometimes, he even smoked several packs a day. So his whole body was covered in smoke, which smelt very bad.
But it seemed that she didn't hate smoking at all ever since she met Shawn and saw him smoking.
In other words, she still didn't like smoking, but she liked the way he smoked.
Shawn also opened the window. He leaned against the window with one hand, holding the cigarette between his slender fingers, and put another hand on the steering wheel. He exuded understated elegance. He was always handsome admittedly.
They had waited for a relatively long time, and the cars behind them pressed the horn impatiently.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Norah also became a little anxious, and asked, "It seems very slow. Is it blocked in front?"
Shawn took a look at the road conditions. "It should be blocked by a car accident."
"Norah, how about ..."
Before he finished speaking, the traffic moved suddenly. It seemed that the road had been cleared.
"Shawn, we can go!" Norah's tender face was full of joy and excitement when saying that.
"Uh-huh!"
The road following was smooth. Even though Shawn had deliberately driven the car very slowly, they still arrived before five o'clock.
As it was already after work hours, the hall was deserted, with only a handful of people present.
Norah walked to the service window and handed all the certificates and prepared documents to the staff.
The staff took a look at them and was very surprised. After all, the handsome man and the beautiful woman seemed to be a very suitable couple. How would they come to divorce?
