Chapter 39 Compromising Over And Again

“Do you guys know each other?” I asked, slightly baffled.

Looking overjoyed, Benjamin answered, “We’ve met once, and we had a great time chatting. Am I right, Mr. Keaton?”

I only became more bewildered than before. Why does that sound more like a threat even though Benjamin sounded nice?

What was weirder was the trace of panic that I saw flashing across Julius’ eyes.

Something was definitely up between the two. However, I chose to believe Benjamin since he was, after all, introduced by James, and his relationship with Dominic must be pretty close too.

Whatever. As long as I can get a divorce and get all the problems solved, anything’s fine.

“Tell me, what do you want today? Please speak your mind today so that the next time it’ll be at the court when we meet. It’s incredibly annoying to do a meet-up so often like this.”

I had to say it felt different with a professional sitting beside me.

Julius frowned and seemed somewhat infuriated. Nevertheless, he did not say anything else and only pulled out two sheets of paper from his briefcase.

At that instance, I saw what they were. On the heading were two words: Divorce Agreement.

I did not expect Benjamin to guess it right.

As Julius passed me one set, he said, “If there are no issues, then we can proceed to sign the papers and head down to the Registry Office after this.”

In place of me, Benjamin helped to receive the papers from Julius.

There was as though a surge of being snobbish and acting all high and mighty within me, and to be honest, it was a great feeling.
