Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Caleb could hear the phone hang up as he stood by the desk, waiting for the documents.

Curtis slammed the phone down with a huff, “Hang up on me just like that? Did I hit a nerve? Found a new flame already, huh?”

Since he returned from his trip abroad, Curtis’ mood had been as fickle as the stock market, impossible to predict.

Caleb pondered, then pulled out a yellow folder from the bottom of a stack on the upper left corner of his desk.

“The agreement has been ready for four days, drafted by the lawyer. I put a Post-it note on it. You might have missed it,” Caleb said, trying to mask his irritation.

Curtis sat back in his plush, executive chair. “Oh, so maybe it’s just you that I find especially frustrating.”

He crossed out the words “irreconcilable differences,” circled them, and shaded the circle.

until it was a black blob.

Caleb was bewildered. “Mr. Richardson, isn’t your marriage with Mrs. Richardson beyond repair?”

That stopped Curtis’ juvenile scribbling.

He glared at Caleb again. “Did you ever go to school? Something has to exist before it can break apart. We never had any feelings for each other. What’s there to be beyond repair?”
