Harrison parted his lips, wanting to say something.
However, Natalie and Jared did not give him a chance to do so, walking into the courthouse side by side.
Very soon, the court learned of their intention to end the lawsuit. Besides, Jared was the subject they were fighting over.
Since he, the subject himself, expressed his disinclination to follow Harrison, the court could not force him.
Finally, Natalie and Harrison concurred that when the latter reached the age of sixty, they would both pay monthly alimony of two thousand. With that, the court approved of their request to end the lawsuit.
Even though Harrison was reluctant, he could only accept this outcome.
In the car on the way back, Jared booked his flight ticket and told Natalie that he was going back the next day.
Natalie had already expected this, so she wasn’t surprised, merely nodding calmly in acceptance. “It’s also better this way. If you stay, Harrison might harass you every now and then.”
“Yeah, and Maple Academy just so happens to be open for enrollment. I have to rush back to apply for the exam,” Jared informed with a smile.
Maple Academy was a world-renowned art academy.
Art was Jared’s passion, and he had dreamed of going to Maple Academy since he was a child. Hence, he wasn’t going to miss this opportunity.
Knowing that this was his dream, Natalie encouraged whilst turning the steering wheel, “Good luck. You have my full support.”
“Thanks, Nat!” Jared nodded firmly with excitement gleaming in his eyes.
The next day, Natalie and Shane sent him off in the afternoon.
After that, Shane dropped Natalie off at her company.
Right after she got out of the car, he abruptly called out, “Wait.”
“What’s the matter?” Natalie bent down to peer at him through the front passenger seat window.
Shane drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and stated, “There’s something I need to tell you.”
“Go ahead.” Natalie waited for him to continue.
