Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 124

Because of that, she had to make absolutely certain this divorce agreement was airtight.

Otherwise, she would never have a moment's peace.

Jabez hadn't expected her to be so fiercely guarded. He sat in silence for a long while before finally saying, "Fine."

Yvette stuffed the papers into her bag. Just as she stood up to leave, his voice drifted over from behind her.

"You've put on some weight recently."

Her heart seized. Her fingers gripped her bag tight as her mind raced to find an excuse.

"Yeah. When people finally ditch their toxic baggage, they tend to get a lot happier. The appetite just naturally follows."

Catching the blatant insult beneath her words, his face instantly darkened.

*Bang.*

The heavy door slammed shut, and her cold, elegant figure vanished from sight.

Jabez stood up, grabbed his glass of wine from the table, and strolled over to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He stared at the empty space where she had just been, then tilted his head back and downed the drink in one go.

Driving away from the house, Yvette felt as if the very air she was breathing had become fresher.

She dialed Matthew's number.

"Matthew, I got the divorce agreement. But it's packed with legal jargon I don't really understand. Could you help me find a reliable lawyer to look it over?"

"Absolutely! I'll make the calls right now," he agreed, sounding thrilled.

Yvette turned up the radio and hummed along softly to the music.

At noon the next day, they met at a café.

Matthew and Yvette sat on one side, facing the lawyer across the table.

Yvette pulled out the agreement and handed it over. "We don't have any children. I mainly need you to check the asset division for any hidden traps."

The lawyer was dressed in a sharp suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, exuding pure professionalism. He nodded.

"Give me a moment to review this, Ms. Yeats."
