Chapter 305
After Rowan fell asleep, Yuliana whispered to Christopher, “Let’s talk outside.” After saying that, she walked out first, regardless of how Christopher reacted.
Christopher stayed by the crib for a while. A trace of tenderness flashed across his dark eyes as he watched the little one. Following that, he walked out of the room and closed the door.
It was already over ten o’clock.
In the living room, only the light near the couch was on, while the rest of the area was pitch-black.
Christopher swept his gaze over the room but didn’t see Hailey. Thus, he thought she must have gone back to her room.
Yuliana was looking at her phone on the couch, one hand on the armrest propping her head while the other holding her phone. When she saw
Christopher coming out, she logged out of an app, locked the screen, and held the phone.
Christopher sat down in the seat near Yuliana. They sat on either side of the coffee table with two seats between them. It was neither far nor near.
Yuliana didn’t look at his face. Her eyes fell on his hand. She was probably a little sleepy and spacing out, but soon, she pulled herself together again. Thinking of the serious matter, she asked, “Is the divorce agreement ready?”
“Are you that excited to leave me?” Christopher looked at her with a wry smile. His tone was flat as if he was saying it casually.
Yuliana looked up at him. Staying for two seconds, she asked, “Aren’t you in a hurry to divorce me?”
Not knowing if it was because of the lights or something else, he found Yuliana’s eyes particularly bright at the moment, which made Christopher dare not look straight at her. He tried to hide his awkwardness and averted his gaze.
Then, he stared silently somewhere for a moment.
Both of them didn’t speak for an instant. A dead silence fell over the spacious living room.
A few minutes later, Christopher picked up the coat on the couch, took out a document underneath it, and handed it to Yuliana. “You can have a look and see if you have any questions. If you have any other requirements, you can raise them. I will try my best to meet them,” he remarked.
This divorce agreement had been ready for a while, but he hadn’t had time to hand it to Yuliana.
Yuliana didn’t answer him immediately. She just looked at him for a moment as if trying to see through him.
Christopher didn’t avoid her gaze this time.
They seemed to be fighting with each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.
After a while, Yuliana took over the folder and took out the divorce agreement. There were three copies in total, which were well prepared. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The corner of her mouth curved down with a touch of sarcasm.
She only took one of them and quickly browsed the content of the agreement. It was indeed a prenuptial agreement. Christopher gave her all the assets belonging
to him.
It was at this moment that she realized Prestige Club was his property and that he had an investment company called Glory Corporation.
Even if she chose not to work in the future, it would be more than enough for her and Rowan for the rest of their lives.
Christopher added, “Both Glory Corporation and Prestige Club have
specially-assigned persons to take care of them. You don’t need to do anything. But if you need anything in the future, you can contact Craig. We used to be classmates at university, and now he’s helping me. You’ve seen him before when we had a meal together the other day. I’ll send his contact information to your phone later.”
When his voice sounded, Yuliana couldn’t read the agreement in her hand. She was inexplicably irritated. She got up and went to get a sign pen. She didn’t want to read it further and merely got to the part where she needed to sign and signed her name without hesitation.
Watching her, Christopher asked in a low voice, “Why don’t you take a closer look at it? Or, is there anything else that you want from me?”
Yuliana signed the three copies all at once. Without raising her head, she replied, “No need.”
After signing, she handed the three copies back to Christopher and said, “I’ve signed it. It’s your turn.”
Christopher took the agreement and the pen, staring at her signature for two seconds. Just as he was about to sign his name, Yuliana asked, “Christopher, do you really want to divorce me?”
Her voice was very soft, and there was a trace of imperceptible stubbornness in it.
They had come to this point. She shouldn’t have asked such a question, which made her look stupid and ridiculous, but she still couldn’t help asking with a glimmer of hope.
The tip of the pen stopped above the paper, and it didn’t land on it for a very long
ume.
Christopher looked up at Yuliana. She pursed her lips, staring at him. Her gaze looked calm, but there seemed to be some water glistening inside.
“Yes,” he answered without hesitation.
Yuliana sneered and turned her face away. She raised her hand and wiped her cheeks. Taking a deep breath, she regained her composure as if nothing had happened a while ago.
“Christopher, as long as you sign the divorce agreement, there will be no turning back for us,” Yuliana mumbled. She threw the remark at Christopher, but at the same time, it was also directed at herself.
“Sign it.” There was weariness on Yuliana’s expression.
The tip of the pen touched the paper, paused for a moment, and the ink mark soon appeared on it. Christopher then signed his name smoothly.
Christopher left a copy of the agreement to Yuliana and took the other two with him.
When he got up and was about to leave, he uttered, “I’m free on Friday morning. If it’s fine with you, we will go to the City Hall to complete the procedure.”
