When Fate Intervenes (Giselle and Anthony) novel Chapter 15

Anthony learned from Ian that Giselle was back in Jadeston. He wanted to meet her at once but was harshly rejected.

He felt a little disheartened. However, there was nothing he could do other than patiently wait until she came looking for him.

In the meantime, he went through the divorce agreement and the divorce property division agreement countless times and even bought a lot of things according to their old house's original decoration and layout.

Anthony was still hoping that Giselle would forgive him. He would try to restore the old house to its original design and layout to give a sense that everything was back to normal.

The days passed, one by one, and by the end of September, Anthony finally received a call from Ian.

Giselle wanted to meet him, but the venue was at the entrance of the courthouse.

Anthony felt his hopes being dashed to pieces.

However, he still went to meet up with Giselle, albeit empty-handed.

When Giselle saw that Anthony had appeared without a single document in his hand, she knew at once that he had only said he agreed to the divorce to trick her. It had been a lie all along.

Still, Giselle had expected it. So, she wasn't too angry. She only sounded frustrated and impatient as she asked, "Is this how you show your sincerity? By agreeing to a divorce and then coming here empty-handed?"

They hadn't seen each other for more than two weeks, yet as soon as they met, the first thing Giselle brought up was their divorce. A hint of loneliness appeared in Anthony's eyes.

He gazed at her without looking away, trying to detect any hints of sadness or other similar emotions in her expressions. Those were his only hopes of ever getting her back.

However, Giselle looked extremely calm and mild like a body of dead water. She didn't look depressed or disheartened either. In fact, she had had a healthy glow-up ever since she left, looking a lot more energetic than before.

So, Anthony had been the only one feeling sad about the whole divorce. Was that it?

He felt as if a huge rock was weighing down on his heart. He could barely breathe.

"Can we talk, Giselle?"

"Sure, after we've gotten the cert. I'll listen to whatever you want to say afterward."

Giselle's direct answer sent the last of Anthony's hopeful thinking into the ground.

Anthony dug his nails into his palms as he spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "I didn't bring my documents with me. Can you come back with me to get them?"
