Wrenna was waiting inside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
In the past, she had always associated this place with happiness. Waiting was always part of the beautiful process.
Yet, this time around, she was there for a divorce.
The last time they were there to get their marriage certificate, she had also waited for quite a while.
At that time, Damian was equally busy at work, but it was fine with her. In fact, she was so preoccupied with excitement.
Right now, she was still waiting.
Suddenly, someone sat down beside her.
It was Damian.
After having not seen him for a week, he was as handsome and charming as ever. However, he seemed even colder toward her.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Wrenna smiled briefly and said, “It's fine. I just got here too.”
It was true that she had not waited that long. This was probably the shortest wait so far.
Wrenna found that amusing.
It's only when we are getting a divorce that I no longer have to wait anymore.
“Let's go over then.”
There were not as many people getting divorced as those who were getting married.
It was a pity for such a good-looking couple to be going through a divorce.
As Wrenna got up, Damian reached out and pulled her hand.
She turned back to look at him.
His dark eyes caused a jolt in her heart.
Without waiting for him to speak, she said, “Damian, when we first got married, you did agree that if I ever want a divorce, you will grant me one.”
Just like that, Damian kept quiet.
In the end, he released her hand and walked ahead of her in silence.
Nothing he had to say would change her mind. Since Wrenna was the one who asked for the divorce, then she must have thought it through.
Damian was well aware that it was his fault for not being a good husband to her. He had always feared that he would disappoint her.
Yet, in the end, he did exactly that.
Perhaps she had come to the realization that I am not her true love. Maybe she has found someone she truly loves. It could be that tutor whom she spends so much time with, or it could be one of her schoolmates.
Either way, all I am to her is a boring and frigid man who is only interested in work.
With the divorce papers in hand, both Wrenna and Damian walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
Standing outside, Wrenna felt as if a huge weight was lifted off her shoulders.
She smiled gently at her ex-husband.
“Damian, are you angry?”
He was taken aback. Looking at her, he knew he was to be blamed and felt angry, lost, and guilty.
However, nothing of those feelings mattered when he saw her smile.
Wrenna was still a young girl. Even though they were no longer husband and wife, he would still take care of her like how a brother would for a sister.
Damian felt guilty for his frosty behavior earlier on.
Out of the blue, he embraced Wrenna.
Her body tensed up for a moment before she relaxed.
“Damian, now that I won't be causing any trouble in your life, I hope you will be able to find someone whom you love, who loves you very much. I wish you all the best.”
Damian smiled and let go of her. He rubbed her head and messed up her hair.
“Don't you worry about me. In the future, when you have a boyfriend, I will have to check on him as a brother. Got it?”
Wrenna pouted. “We'll see. I'm going back to school first. I think we should find a suitable time and inform our parents together.”
Damian nodded. “Leave that to me.”
It is my fault anyway.
After parting ways and getting into the car, Wrenna's smile was gone.
Instead, tears kept flowing down uncontrollably.
As for Damian, it was the same. His smile had disappeared.
When he got into the car, there was an uneasy feeling. Johannes did not dare to say anything.
I just saw the both of you smiling at each other and talking about being brother and sister. But after you have gone on your separate ways, you act as if you are in hell? What's going on?
Mr. Quigley's mood has changed so quickly.
Damian arranged for their parents to meet and announced the news.
He had initially expected a barrage of rage and condemnation.
To his surprise, both older women were very calm. One looked aloof, and the other sighed with resignation.
There was not much response from Yaala. “All right. Thanks for informing us.”
