me

Finished

Both marriage certificates were stored at the Hudson family home, and knowing her soon–to–be ex–husband’s way of doing things, Ellis was sure he had checked what was needed for the divorce and wouldn’t have forgotten to bring the marriage certificate.

Confidently, she waited for him to say he had brought them.

However, to her surprise, under her watchful eyes, Easton said in a slow voice, “I didn’t bring them.”

“What?” Ellis’s voice rose slightly. “Are you kidding me? The marriage certificates are at your place! Don’t tell me you know we needed them for the divorce!”

didn’t

Of course, Easton knew the marriage certificates were necessary for a divorce, but he hadn’t anticipated completing the divorce proceedings without Ellis capitulating at some point.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down at her. “First time getting divorced, is it so wrong

g not to know everything?”

“That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have had someone bring them over!” Ellis wished she could teleport to the Hudson family home and grab the certificates herself.

Seeing the urgency in her expression, Easton fell a twinge of discomfort and irritation.

With people waiting behind them to process their own documents, the clerk handed back their paperwork and said, “We can’t proceed without the marriage certificate. Please bring it next time.”

Calculating the travel time from the Hudson family home. Ellis glared at Easton, “Call someone to bring it now!”

“What’s the rush: Easton took out his phone leisurely

“You might not be in a hurry, but I am” The thought of waiting further irritated Ellis,

She hated waiting for people, especially now that she had to wait for her ex to have someone deliver the marriage certificates Seeing him leisurely scrolling through his contacts, she impatiently snatched the phone from his hands.

Finding the butler’s number, she immediately said upon connecting. “Sir, go to Easton’s room, in the top drawer of the bedside table, and bring both marriage certificates to the nearby Civil Affairs Department.

The number was Easton’s, but the voice was Ellis’s, which made the butler pause before habitually nodding. “Yes, Mrs. Hudson.

After the call, Ellis handed the phone back to Easton

As their hands inadvertently touched while exchanging the phone, she quickly withdrew hers, leaving a fleeting warmth in his palm. Easton, without thinking, grabbed her hand that she hadn’t pulled back fast enough.

Her first instinct was to pull away, forcefully, as if shaking off something filthy.

With her hand suddenly free and feeling oddly empty, Easton frowned deeply, watching her take a few steps away, and pressed his lips together tightly, “Ellis, you-”

Before the butler arrived with the marriage certificates, Ellis preferred not to engage with Easton to avoid any quarrels that might impede their divorce today.

She sat down on a chair in the waiting area, keeping a safe distance from him.

Intending to browse the internet aimlessly, Easton seemed oblivious to her desire for distance. Despite many chairs available, he chose to sit right next to her.

Their proximity was less than a feet, a simple movement from him could touch her.

As soon as Easton moved closer, Ellis snapped. “With all these chairs, why sit right next to me?”
