The moment Rose returned to her room, she received a call from Tina.
"Hello, Rose. I'm going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedure this afternoon. Can you accompany me to go there?" Tina asked in the phone.
Hearing the word "divorce", Rose was still a little worried and asked, "Have you really made up your mind? What did Yang say about it then?"
"What else can he say? Now that he had already shared a bed with others, how could I not bear to leave him? I have made an appointment with him to go through the formalities in the afternoon." However, Tina showed a look of indifference.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Rose hung up the phone and grabbed the coat hanging on the hanger. She put the phone into her bag and hurried downstairs.
"Sophie, I have to go out now. Prepare the car for me. As Rose walked towards the gate, she ordered Sophie who followed her behind.
"Okay." Sophie replied and trotted to call the driver.
After waiting for a while, driver Terry drove and stopped in front of Rose.
The driver Terry apologized to Rose soon as she sat down in the car. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Gu. Last time my wife gave birth to a baby, she suffered massive hemorrhage due to difficult labor. So I asked for a leave for some time to make it inconvenient for you."
Realizing that Terry was careless and upright in nature, Rose didn't plan to make a fuss with him. So she said, "It doesn't matter. How is your wife now?"
Speaking of this, Terry scratched his head somewhat sheepishly and said, "She's out of danger now. She's fine, and her son's safe, ha."
It was the first time that Rose had seen a happy expression on Terry's face as a father. She felt happy for him, too. Smiling, she said, "You have been a father, why are you still so imprudent?"
"Ha, that's the way I am. It's hard to change it. Terry grinned and started the car, "Where are we going today?"
"Southern Garden." Said Rose.
"Got it." Terry answered it at once and the car slowly drove out of the Gu's house.
Rose went to the garden in the south yard and picked up Tina. Then they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
Tina did not speak all the way, and her face was very calm.
Rose knew it. Tina had been quite out-going. The calmer she was now, the more painful she actually were deep down inside. Without saying anything, Rose held Tina's cold hand and smiled at her, encouraging and accompanying her.
Tina knew what Rose meant, so she squeezed out a smile and responded her with her other hand holding the file bag tighter.
Soon, the car stopped at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Rose and Tina got off one after another. Rose said a few words to her driver Terry and walked in with her hand holding Tina's.
It was far from here that Yang was standing at the door of the marriage registration office with his head bowed and with a long sigh from time to time. He used to be meticulous with his image. Now, his hair is slightly messy, and the white shirt is also slightly wrinkled, and his face is tired. Obviously, he did not have a good rest.
He was a little stunned when he saw Rose and Tina coming towards him. He stopped and said.
