I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 29

In the evening, Oliver invited Fabian to have an expensive meal at Radiance Hotel. When paying the bill, Fabian heard the waiter say the total was 1,560 dollars, which made him fawn more at Oliver.

In truth, Oliver did that deliberately. Crafty fellows like Fabian admired money and power the most. If Oliver showed him the power he held, Fabian would treat him like family.

Radiance Hotel was a five-star hotel. The food in the hotel was nothing but expensive. Its taste was less delicious than some unique restaurants but still pricey.

Only with such a price could the hotel show the dignity of five stars.

At about 10 a.m. the next day, the doorbell in Oliver’s room rang.

It was probably Fabian who was done making the certificates. After all, Oliver told him what room number he had stayed in yesterday.

Oliver got up from bed and went to open the door in his shorts. He didn’t bother to get dressed, since they were both men.

As soon as the door opened, Hailey, who looked like she had come out of a painting, stood before him.

Oliver was stunned for a moment. He gasped, turned around, and went back to put on his pants. He dressed himself for a while and even realized he had worn his pants incorrectly.

Hailey walked in and sat down as if nothing had happened. She took a bottle of mineral water on the table, unscrewed it, and drank it. Then, she gasped for air and said, “I’m exhausted!”

Oliver huddled on the other side of the bed and sat on the ground as he put on his clothes again. He asked, “Ms. Fox, why did you come here without saying a word? And how do you know my room number?”

Hailey pouted and said, “There was a man at the front desk. I told him your phone number and said I was your girlfriend. He bought it.”

Oliver was embarrassed. Beautiful women had their advantages. Then, he asked again, “Didn’t your fiancé prohibit you from coming?”

Hailey’s face darkened, and she said, “Let me clarify something. He isn’t my fiancé, and we are not engaged. It’s just that our parents have discussed it.”

Oliver was silent, thinking, “In her family, don’t her parents make the choice?”
