Chapter 147 Farewell
Deborah responded, “Okay.”
She lost her memory three years ago, so it could be said that she had no memory of Richmond.
Thus, she felt a bit uneasy about going to see Ashton alone.
Atter finishing the phone call, Deborah washed up and lay down on the bed. However, she failed to fall asleep all night.
Thinking about the divorce, she suddenly wondered what if was like before she lost her memory.
She actually married such a horrible person like Ashton when she just turned 20 and even maintained this marriage
for so many years.
Why?
Deborah kept tossing and turning until it was dawn, but she still didn’t feel sleepy at all, so she got up to wash up. Then, she sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and waited for Joseph to pick her up.
Joseph came over before 7 am and brought her breakfast and warmed milk.
They set off at 7:30 and arrived outside the Civil Affairs Bureau at 8 am.
She asked Joseph to wait in the car, got out of the car by herself, and waited outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
If Ashton saw Joseph, he might have to jeer at Joseph again. Deborah thought it would be better to wait alone.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, and it was only a few minutes before 8:30, Ashton finally drove over by
himself.
Deborah was relieved when she saw him get off the car.
“Finally,” she thought.
As soon as Ashton drove over, he saw Deborah sitting on a stone bench in the square outside the Civil Affairs Bureau through the window, playing with her mobile phone with her head down.
It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
Ashton parked the car, opened the door, and got out. Deborah seemed to sense his existence and immediately looked
up at him.
She quickly put away her phone, stood up, and looked at him with unconcealable joy.
Ashton was stunned for a moment. He almost forgot that the happiness on her face wasn’t because she saw him.
Deborah was happy because he finally came, and they could finally divorce soon.
That invisible sadness surged up in an instant.
But Ashton didn’t put it on his face. He restrained his emotions well and strode over while staring at her.
There were also a few people outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, and they mainly were loving young couples arm in arm.
Those who could wait here so eagerly before office hours were all in a hurry to get their marriage certificates.
Perhaps, today was a good day for getting married.
Deborah was obviously in a good mood. Seeing Ashton approaching, she even took the initiative to greet him. “You are
nundu!!
Get Hanus
Ashton grunted indifferently, a bit unable to bear the joy on her face. He glanced at her and soon looked away.
Deborah wasn’t mad about his indifference because she didn’t want to talk to him either. She just stared at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, waiting for it to open.
As soon as the door opened, she couldn’t wait and was about to rush in first.
Ashton couldn’t help calling her to stop. “You don’t have to be in such a hurry. I’m already here, and I won’t run.
away.”
Deborah didn’t even realize how fast she was, and when he reminded her, she slowed down embarrassingly.
After they went inside, Deborah had been on tenterhooks until they were in the middle of the divorce process.
Based on her intuition, she always felt that Ashton was going to make a fuss about something halfway.
For example, he might make some excessive demands or embarrass her, and he also might object to the terms of their divorce agreement.
And as expected, when they were about to sign the divorce agreement, Ashton suddenly spoke while pointing to the terms about property distribution.
“You’d better change that.”
Deborah’s expression immediately became vigilant. “I don’t want any compensation. What else do you want?”
Could it be that he wanted to ask for compensation from her?
Ashton explained, “During our marriage, you paid for two properties. Since we are going to divorce, I don’t want what you bought because I’m not that poor.”
Deborah was worried that he was on to something. If he only wanted to give two more properties to her, there would
be no loss.
Deborah cautiously said, “Then just modify the divorce agreement I drew up and only add the properties you
mentioned.”
Ashton responded, “Okay.”
The staff helped to add the two properties Ashton had mentioned to the terms of property distribution.
Deborah stared straight at him. “That’s all?”
Ashton nodded. “Yeah. Let’s sign it.”
Deborah immediately took a pen to sign, and she glanced at Ashton while he was signing his name.
After Ashton finished signing, she confirmed carefully that he hadn’t signed his name wrong.
The staff took away their marriage certificates and voided them.
After completing the whole process and getting the divorce certificate, Deborah only felt that she was dreaming.
She asked the staff repeatedly, “Am 1 divorced from him now? Are there no other requirements and terms? I have nothing to do with him in the future, right?”
The staff nodded three times in a row. He had never seen anyone so happy after being divorced.
Holding the divorce certificate like a baby, Deborah blushed with joy. “That’s great.”
Ashton looked at her without saying a word, with mixed emotions in his black eyes.
Deborah couldn’t wait to take a picture and send it to Joseph. Seeing that Ashton was still standing in front of her, she looked up at him. “Is there anything else? Can I go?”
Ashton looked down at her. “Of course. Didn’t you ask the staff just now? We have nothing to do with each other
now.”
Deborah carefully put the divorce certificate in her pocket and said goodbye to him politely, “Goodbye, ex-husband.”
Ashton pressed his tongue against his lower jaw and watched her run into the elevator in a hurry.
Without even thinking about it, Ashton knew that she was in a hurry to find Joseph and celebrate.
Although after Alyssa met him yesterday, he decided to let Deborah go.
But at this moment, Ashton had to admit that he was quite upset..
He couldn’t believe she was overjoyed.
Ashton glanced at the divorce certificate in his hand, which seemed unpleasant at this moment.
