Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 36

But then he thought to himself, he had been so good today. He took a bath without a fuss, shared all sorts of interesting stories with his mom, and listened attentively to her when she read him a story. He had been such a good boy.

And since his mom was still so patient with him, that meant everything was okay between them.

Next time, he would spend even more time with her.

Adrian thought happily as he clutched his tablet, heading off to chat with Giselle.

...

Mila returned to the bedroom, finding it empty.

Lysander hadn't come back yet.

She hadn't come to the old house today just to attend the Lockwood family dinner with Lysander tomorrow. She had something far more important to discuss.

From her bag, Mila took out a signed divorce agreement.

The one she had left at the Montgomery family residence was still there, untouched. She had printed a new copy, signed it, and brought it with her.

Since Lysander wasn't in the bedroom, he must be in his study, she thought. Wary of running into his parents, she slipped the agreement between the pages of a design book and headed towards the study.

She knocked on the door, and sure enough, Lysander's voice came from inside.

"What are you doing here? Get out!"

Lysander frowned instinctively when he saw Mila enter.

He had always hated her stepping into his workspace, but Mila wasn't about to adhere to the post-marriage rules Lysander had set for her.

She glanced around, ensuring they were alone, before she walked over, pulled the divorce papers from the design book, and laid them on the table calmly.
