Selina's attitude was out of their expectation. Even though Harold got off his high horse and romantically prepared flowers for her, Selina was unimpressed at all.
Even Harold couldn't believe that he was treated in this way. He was showing up with flowers that didn't even win him back a glance from her. His genuineness was completely ignored.
At first, he was a bit furious, but then enormous fears overwhelmed him.
What if she was serious about never forgiving and divorcing him?
He was terribly reluctant to divorce her.
Selina reached an agreement with Jean on staying at Jean's place. Since Arthur lived across the hall, Jean could move to his apartment and live together after getting a marriage paper.
Their original plan was to let Harold and Selina communicate with each other alone. But Selina stood in front of the door and said, "Jean, I am tired and want to take a rest. You come back to Arthur's place first."
She directly closed the door after saying this, leaving three of them standing there.
Jean and Arthur were fine with that because they could just get back to their apartment. But Harold lost his hope as Selina closed the door.
Arthur comforted him, "Harold. How about coming to my place? Maybe Selina is just worn out."
"I am fine." Harold frowned, "You two back to your place."
That they continued to stand there wouldn't change Selina's mind. So they came back to their apartment.
But they didn't give up after they went back. Instead, they pressed against the door to hear what happened outside.
Arthur whispered, "What do we do now?"
Neither of them foresaw this situation that Harold didn't get the chance to speak about. Their plan was disrupted.
Jean replied, "It all depends on my mother. If she is resolute in divorcing, I am on the same side with her."
Emotional speaking, Jean is on Selina's side.
"Then I am on the same side with you." Arthur unconditionally supported Jean, which means he also unconditionally supports Selina. Now Harold was fighting alone.
Outside the door, Harold hesitated for a while and then knocked on the door, "Please open the door. We need to talk."
But there was no response from Selina. Arthur and Jean were listening to this carefully.
After a short while, Harold knocked again and apologize earnestly, "I was wrong."
"I am deeply sorry. This is my fault. I shouldn't have said those things. I apologize officially."
After he apologized, Selina finally replied, though not very seriously, "I just had a long day. Please go back and we have this conversation the other day."
Harold was rejected again. Selina's determination forced him to leave.
At this time Arthur opened the door and walked out, offering Harold a ride home.
And Jean knocked on Selina's door after they left. Selina let her in.
Selina asked her as soon she step into the apartment, "Am I too harsh to him?"
"No." Jean shook her head. "I know how it feels to be heartbroken. Those pains can't be undone by a few words."
