The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 744

It took Caspian a long moment to process my words. Then, pure ecstasy and excitement flooded his handsome face. "Selena, you're saying yes?"

"Sit back on the couch and wait for your soup," I ordered firmly.

He instantly sat back down, a bright, joyous smile lighting up his features.

While he drank his soup, I retreated to the bedroom to freshen up and change into clean clothes.

Just as I was grabbing my purse, I got a call from Ferris.

It was a video call. "Let me see... My gorgeous, adorable wife is all dressed up. Are you heading out on a date?"

My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly denied it. "It's not a date. I'm just going out to eat. And don't forget, Mr. Sterling, we're currently in The 30-Day Mandatory Cooling-Off Period. I won't be your wife for much longer."

"Ah, let me remind you, honey. Yesterday was the day we were supposed to get the certificate, but neither of us went to The Registry Office. So the previous application has officially lapsed. If you still want a divorce, we have to file the paperwork all over again and start a brand new thirty-day wait." On the screen, Ferris leaned back against his pillows, grinning like the absolute Sly Fox he was.

Infuriated but utterly helpless, I could only roll my eyes at him. "You scoundrel!"

If Julia Zeller's attack hadn't been so sudden yesterday, I would have suspected Ferris orchestrated the whole thing just to avoid finalizing the divorce.

But I figured it wasn't him. Nobody hires a hitman to stab themselves.

His smug smile only grew wider. "You need a thick skin to land a wife this cute. I'll just have to be even more shameless from now on. A little bit of scoundrel behavior never hurt anyone."

He was getting more ridiculous by the second. I didn't even want to engage.

Truthfully, I couldn't afford to chat anyway. Caspian was still waiting for me in the living room.

"Honey, are you sure you don't have a date today?" Ferris suddenly asked, still smiling.
