He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 393

When Yardley returned to Orchard Villa, he noticed a document on the coffee table.

Surprised, he asked, "Leah, what's this?"

Leah replied, "It looks like something from the courthouse, but I'm not sure. You should open it, sir."

The courthouse?

Yardley tore open the envelope. The words "Divorce Lawsuit" printed at the top made his vision go dark for a moment.

His hands trembled with rage, his temples throbbing. The hesitation and conflict he had felt just moments ago instantly hardened into ice.

Fine!

Just fine!

Scarlett was so terrified that the divorce might not go through after the mandatory waiting period before finalization of divorce in this country that she actually had Chatwin file a formal lawsuit against him. It was as if she was putting a "double lock" on their separation.

Was she really that desperate to divorce him? That desperate to get away?

What was so wrong with him?

Yardley clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white. A dull ache spread across his chest, and his irritation flared into an all-consuming rage.

He stood up, intending to go to the backyard to cool off. As he walked, his eyes landed on the Silk Tree planted in the northeast corner of the yard.

It was the tree Scarlett had specifically asked someone to plant when they first moved into Orchard Villa.

Not long after it was planted, a pair of magpies had built a nest in its branches.

Leah had smiled and said it was a good omen, a sign that he and Scarlett would be deeply in love for the rest of their lives.

And now... the magpies had hatched brood after brood of chicks, but he and Scarlett were on the verge of falling apart.
