Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 69

"Are you really this happy after the divorce?" Gavin suddenly asked in his deep voice.

I couldn't help but turn around and look at him. I happened to meet his gaze, only to see a hint of anguish flash in his eyes for the most fleeting moment.

I frowned slightly. Just as I was about to take a closer look, Gavin had averted his gaze. "You're going to regret it, Grace."

Then, Gavin got into his car and drove away swiftly. I watched as he drove off into the distance, wondering what made him so sure of what he had just said. This wasn't the first time he had said it either.

Gavin also claimed that I would regret it when he agreed to divorce me. At the end of the day, however, he was the only one who regretted it.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath. There had always been a weight on my shoulders, and it was finally lifted off now. I would be freed from the shackles of this marriage after the 30-day cooling-off period.

"Hurry up and show me the divorce certificate, Gracie." Dawn looked very excited. Obviously, she couldn't wait to see it.

I frowned slightly when Dawn brought it up. "There's something called a divorce cooling-off period, and it lasts 30 days. I can only get the divorce certificate after a month."

"What the heck is that?" Dawn couldn't help but feel stunned. "What kind of rule is that?"

"It's a law that just recently passed."

Dawn said in a worried tone, "So, it'll take longer for you to get the divorce certificate, right? Is it possible things might change during the cooling-off period?"

I shook my head. "If either party wants to revoke the divorce, it can be done within the 30-day period. Once that happens, the divorce will be undone."

"Huh?" Dawn was very shocked. She even found it to be ridiculous. "Hearing this has made me think twice about getting married. Seriously? It just takes a minute to get married, but we have to wait a month to get divorced?"
