Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1503

At the very bottom, she had added one last line: [I'll have my assistant come pick up the cat.]

There shouldn't be any issues with the papers. She wasn't asking for anything.

Harold stood there gripping the divorce agreement, his mind a complete mess.

They had been perfectly fine yesterday. Why was she suddenly demanding a divorce today?

It couldn't just be because he hogged her bedroom, or because he took it upon himself to rename her cat, right?

Unable to make sense of it, Harold grabbed his phone and called Lorelei.

The automated voice informed him that her phone was turned off.

Harold pinched the bridge of his nose. The headache he had barely managed to suppress came roaring back, making him feel dizzy and weak.

After thinking for a moment, he found her assistant's number. "Where's Ms. Bellamy?"

"Mr... Mr. Houston?" The assistant clearly hadn't expected him to call, her voice stuttering. "Ms. Bellamy went on a business trip to Yalania this morning. She'll probably be gone for a few days. Right now, she should be on her flight."

"Where in Yalania?" Harold pressed.

"She didn't say," the assistant replied honestly. "I believe it's a VIP client she's dealing with personally, so the studio doesn't have the details."

"Got it. Let me know the second you hear from her. And you don't need to come pick up the cat. I'll take care of it."

Harold hung up and sank onto the sofa, staring blankly into space.

*Meow~*

Pudge Bellamy had padded over to his leg at some point, looking up at him elegantly.

"Still meowing, huh?" Harold reached down to rub its fuzzy little head, his voice heavy with dejection. "Your mom abandoned us."

What went wrong?

Hadn't his sympathy play worked?

Maybe he hadn't laid it on thick enough?

While Harold sat there questioning everything, his phone rang. "Dr. Houston, there are a few issues with Eleanor's treatment plan that we need to go over again."
