The Woman From Hell

Civil Affairs Bureau.

I did not think that I would come here in my lifetime.

Standing outside the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau, my figure as well as Theo's were reflected on the glass doors.

We used to be enviable newlyweds, but now we were actually on the path to divorce. It was embarrassing.

I looked behind Theo. It was said he was a bodyguard, but rather, he was a man Delia had sent to oversee our divorce.

Theo asked her to stay at home since he was worried that she would be criticized by other people.

What a considerate man.

I looked at him, and he walked in without any hesitation. He did not even blink.

Even if he was acting, such a feeling could probably not be replicated.

I laughed at myself before following him in.

"Would the two of you please fill out these registration forms?"

The person in charge handed us the divorce registration application form.

Huge letters appeared in front of me. This was not a dream; this was reality.

I wrote my name down, the pen feeling like it weighed a tonne in my hand.

I subconsciously glanced at Theo next to me. He had written so fast and so smoothly, looking like he was very much in a hurry to break away from me. It seemed that he really was tired.

I lowered my head and continued filling up the form but hesitated when I got to the column requesting the reason for our divorce.

What should I write? That our personalities did not match? That a mistress had interfered with our relationship?

Would it be too straightforward for me to write that?Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

After struggling for a long time, I finally wrote down 'a change in the relationship.'

After I was done, I glanced at the contents of Theo's form. He also wrote the same for his reason.

We had quite a tacit understanding on this level.

"It's a pity that a talented couple like you are separating."

The person in charge sighed out of compassion.

Theo replied before I could even respond, "You can't do anything once feelings fade."

My heart broke when he mentioned that our feelings had faded.

The person in charge sighed again regretfully. "According to

regulations, you're now entering the cooling-off period of 30 days. This is your acceptance receipt. Please keep it."

"There are still 30 days to go?" Theo asked.

He was really eager.

I accepted the receipt and answered, "Alright, thank you." Then, I walked out.

Theo followed behind me. "Wait."

He called out to me and I stopped. I turned around and asked, "Do you need something else, President Grant?"

"We're still not officially divorced, yet you're so quick to change the way you address me."

"Likewise. I'm very much late to the party compared to your hidden actions," I replied with a blank expression even though my heart was being stabbed. There was no expression on his face. He just said, "I didn't expect there to be a cooling-off period. The children-"

"Yes, I wanted to discuss this with you too. The cooling-off period is one month, I can't possibly wait a month to see my children. So I implore you, President Grant, to convince Delia to let my children go when we get home."

Theo lowered his head and smiled. "Don't worry. Delia is not one to cause trouble." Was she not vexatious enough?

I could not help but laugh before leaning in closer to Theo. "I wonder how you feel, President Grant, to spend every day looking at a face that's exactly the same as my deceased best friend."

"I've never thought of Delia as anyone else. She's just herself."

I did not expect that.

I was momentarily stunned before I nodded. "Alright."

I took a few steps back and diverted my gaze to the bodyguard. "You can tell Delia that there's still a 30-day cooling period first."

After saying that, I glanced at Theo again before walking forward.

This was your decision, Theo. I would respect you.
