Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 593

Lucy’s mother was already getting on with age but she had to be lectured by her own daughter. She immediately felt a little embarrassed.

However, she knew that Lucy was right.

Earlier, she had been anxious and said nonsense.

So, without refuting this time, she obeyed and said, “Yes, yes, yes, mom knows.”

Lucy smiled and stood up in relief.

“Then, I’ll call him now.”

“Alright.”

Lucy found Old Fourth Cecil’s number and dialed it.

The line did not ring that long before it was connected.

Old Fourth Cecil’s sloppy voice sounded from the other end.

“Who’s this?”

Lucy said calmly, “It’s me.”

The other side was quiet for a moment.

Then, he laughed jovially. “Oh, it’s you. What’s wrong?”

“You promised yesterday that you’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together today to sign the divorce papers. Come now!”

“Oh no!” The man suddenly smacked his forehead. “Look at my darn memory. How could I forget such an important thing? Haha… Sorry, I drank too much last night on a whim and didn’t wake up till now. You, uh… Have you talked to your mom?”

Lucy frowned. For some reason, she felt that there was something off about Old Fourth’s voice.

Her voice lowered. “I have. When are you coming?”

“I’m… It’s not convenient for me now. Why don’t you wait for me a little? I’ll call you back when I’m done here.”

Since he said so, Lucy had no choice.

She looked at the time and saw that it was only 10:00 am.

There was no need to hurry, so she agreed.

“Fine, I’ll wait for your call.”

“Right.”

After hanging up the phone, Lucy’s mother looked at her in concern. “How was it? When will he come over?”

Lucy frowned. There was a bad feeling in her heart but she did not say it in order not to worry her mother.

She just shook her head and said, “He said he has some business to deal with right now and will come over when he’s finished. Anyway, it’s still early and the Civil Affairs Bureau doesn’t close until 5:30 pm anyway, so he should be able to make it in time.”

Her mother nodded at her words.

Lucy wanted to accompany her mother because she did not trust Old Fourth to go through the formalities with her mother alone.

However, she did not know when he would come over, so she stayed at the hospital all day today.

She thought that Old Fourth would call her when he finished his work.

However, even after waiting for a full five hours, no call came.

Seeing that it was already 3:00 pm, Lucy grew slightly panicky and quickly called him.

She had never thought that his phone was turned off when she called.

She turned pale, not knowing if Old Fourth deliberately did not answer her call or if an emergency suddenly happened.

Thus, she could only call again and again.

However, she could not get through even until 6:00 pm.

Lucy’s mood instantly became gloomy.

Her mother saw her expression and comforted her. “Forget it. If it doesn’t work today, let’s do it tomorrow. He loves money so much. He can’t possibly give up such a large sum of money.”
