After the banquet.
Luther drove Joyce away with him.
Riveria Haze was located on the outskirts of the city, far from the Warner family's main house, and one had to cross the whole Khebury to get there.
The Maybach drove onto the highway and sped along.
The red lights on the rear of the car in front of them were alternately flashing, like the scarlet eyes of the dark night.
Luther did not say a word and seemed to have something on his mind.
Joyce hesitated, but spoke first, "Charlotte and you are engaged."
Luther looked at her sideways.
Joyce paused and looked into his eyes.
"I heard that she even saved your life?" She was quite puzzled for she had the impression that Charlotte was not the one who would give a helping hand. Charlotte hadn't studied first aid.
"Hmm." He responded, not wanting to talk much about Charlotte.
There was a moment of silence and the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.
As Joyce was just about to speak, Luther interrupted, "We need to divorce as soon as possible. She has saved my life, I need to make up for her."
After saying that, he had some strange feeling in his heart.
In fact, he had a hunch that Joyce was going to file for divorce.
As a man, he wished he had spoken first.
"Okay." Joyce replied with an expressionless face.
Luther looked at her, seeing no reaction from her. He was not feeling well.
The air pressure in the car seemed to be getting lower and lower, suffocating people to catch their breath.
"Tomorrow we will go through the formalities. Grandma wants you to stay on, so you still live in the Warner family to take care of her. Keep the divorce a secret from Grandma, don't let her know about it. You can ask whatever you want."
He spoke what he wanted to say at a draught but felt more upset, as if he was acting rashly to say so.
