CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 60: SEE YOU AT THE CIVIL AFFAIRS BUREAU

Serena Jennings clearly saw Caleb Lockwood’s signature on the divorce agreement.

The handwriting was carefree and beautiful.

Finally...

She was going to divorce Caleb Lockwood.

After the divorce, she would have no further ties with Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood could be openly together with Claire Shaw.

No.

Even if Caleb Lockwood hadn’t divorced her, he was already openly together with Claire Shaw.

"What, regretting it now?"

Serena Jennings lifted her head and saw naked mockery in Caleb Lockwood’s eyes.

"No..."

Serena Jennings shook her head.

She did not regret it.

It’s just that when she actually got the divorce agreement with Caleb Lockwood’s signature, she wasn’t as excited and thrilled as she had imagined.

Perhaps because this divorce was initiated by Caleb Lockwood.

Because he didn’t want to be dragged down by her.

"Do you have a pen?" Serena Jennings asked.

"No."

Caleb Lockwood’s answer left Serena Jennings stunned.

If she remembered correctly, Caleb Lockwood had a habit of carrying a fountain pen with him.

"Do you think I said that on purpose, to give you an excuse not to divorce?"

Serena Jennings realized that Caleb Lockwood still didn’t believe she truly wanted to leave him.

Caleb Lockwood was arrogant.

But Caleb Lockwood certainly had the capital to be arrogant.

"I’ll find a pen at home and sign it."

Serena Jennings put the divorce agreement away.

"Don’t leave yet."

Caleb Lockwood pulled Serena Jennings into the kitchen.

"Before we divorce, make me one last batch of medicine, my stomach hurts."

"Claire Shaw won’t make it for you after work?"

"She’ll be tired after work."

The reason Caleb Lockwood gave made Serena Jennings amused, yet she didn’t laugh.

In the end, she left The Jade Pavilion alone without making Caleb Lockwood that final batch of medicine.

Caleb Lockwood stood at the kitchen door for a long time, his face dark, rubbing his aching stomach.

Serena Jennings hailed a taxi.

Just in case, she wore a mask.

Sitting in the taxi, she took the three copies of the divorce agreement out of her bag and only then realized that a paperclip was attached to the divorce agreement.

There was also a very inconspicuous, easily overlooked band-aid on the paperclip.

Serena Jennings’ heart suddenly raced.

This band-aid...

Could it be intentionally given to her by Caleb Lockwood?

Serena Jennings instinctively touched the wound on her forehead.

Was she overthinking it?

Or was it because they were getting divorced that Caleb Lockwood was offering her one last bit of kindness, for a good parting?

Looking at the divorce agreement with Caleb Lockwood’s signature on it, Serena Jennings felt conflicted.

Sitting in the taxi, she had read through the three copies of the divorce agreement several times; there were no excessive clauses, but she didn’t get a penny.

She was leaving with nothing.

However, Serena Jennings didn’t care about money, so when she got home, she signed her own name on it.

She sent Caleb Lockwood a message:

I’ve signed all three copies of the divorce agreement, see you at the civil affairs bureau at eight tomorrow morning. Is this time convenient for you?

Caleb Lockwood replied quickly:

Convenient.

Serena Jennings breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt that no one in this world had a harder divorce than her, right?

But fortunately...

It’s finally over.

Unintentionally seeing her reflection on the phone screen, Serena Jennings touched the band-aid on her forehead and sent Caleb Lockwood another message:

Is your stomach pain better? Have you taken the medicine?

At that time, Caleb Lockwood had already returned to the office, listening to Mr. Miller’s report.

The phone vibrated, and Claire Shaw picked it up beside him.

Serena Jennings hadn’t been sleeping well these days.

Though the online hot searches were still fermenting, at least she could divorce Caleb Lockwood tomorrow, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

As she lay on her bed to take a nap, she received a reply from Caleb Lockwood:

No need for you to meddle. From tomorrow, you and I are two unrelated people.

The sharpness and coldness between the words instantly made Serena Jennings, who was originally sleepy, become alert. She touched the band-aid on her forehead.

Clearly, the band-aid was applied, but the wound inexplicably hurt even more.

The Lockwood Group.

General Manager’s Office.

After listening to Mr. Miller’s report, Caleb Lockwood noticed Claire Shaw holding his phone.

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just a spam message. I helped you delete it."

Claire Shaw returned the phone to Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood didn’t even look, placing the phone on the desk.

Serena Jennings originally thought she would sleep soundly, but instead, she was tormented by nightmares, waking up several times, and in the morning, her head felt like it was about to explode.

She tore off the band-aid on her forehead; the wound had already scabbed over.

But it still hurt.

Applying a simple and elegant light makeup, she put on a formal suit.

Today, was the day she went to the civil affairs bureau to get her divorce papers.

More solemn than when she went to get the marriage certificate.

With the divorce certificate, her ten-year love should end.

Serena Jennings opened the private album in her phone with a password.

Inside was that old photo.

She wanted to delete it.

She should delete it.

After hesitating for a long time, Serena Jennings pressed the delete button.

After hesitating for a long time, she pressed cancel.

Let’s wait until after getting the divorce certificate!

Serena Jennings admitted she wasn’t someone who could easily let go.

Arriving ten minutes early, she reached the civil affairs bureau.

Caleb Lockwood also arrived.

This time the driver was Mr. Miller, indeed changing cars, no longer the black Maybach but the imperial blue Bentley Flying Spur.

As soon as Caleb Lockwood got out of the car, he saw Serena Jennings eagerly hand him the three copies of the divorce agreement, as if showing him she had signed them, truly wanting to divorce him.

A graceful smile lifted into a shallow yet cold arc.

He glanced down, seeing Serena Jennings’s name signed on all copies.

Caleb Lockwood’s smiling lips became stiff.

Before they entered the civil affairs bureau, Mr. Miller suddenly shouted, "It looks like there are reporters over there."

Serena Jennings indeed saw several people far away rushing over with gun-type microphones.

Looking back at Caleb Lockwood, he had already sat in the car.

Mr. Miller hit the gas, and the imperial blue Bentley sped away like the wind.

Serena Jennings felt inexplicably baffled.

They hadn’t processed the paperwork yet!

But it’s truly not the time to process the divorce paperwork now.

Serena Jennings didn’t know why these reporters were here, whether they were here for her and Caleb Lockwood.

But she was now half a "internet celebrity" and didn’t want to be caught by reporters at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau.

Unlike Caleb Lockwood with a luxury car, Serena Jennings had to hide in a nearby café.

Ordering a cup of coffee, she browsed her phone.

Dylan Quinn was in trouble!

Riverbend Properties was caught evading taxes and even suspected of embezzling state-owned assets, not only exposing Dylan Quinn for keeping many celebrities and internet personalities, but also facing a divorce with Laura Sanders and jail time.

Serena Jennings felt the world was so surreal.

Just a few days ago, Dylan Quinn and Laura Sanders were still so arrogant.

However, no matter how big Dylan Quinn’s issue was, it still couldn’t grab the number one hot search spot.

Currently, Serena Jennings being a mistress had been removed from the hot search, but her name was still trending, and had become the top entry—

Caleb Lockwood and Serena Jennings have been married all along?!
