Chapter 20

It was already noon when she arrived at the airport. The nearest flight from Jiverton to Nexuria was at two in the afternoon, so she immediately went to the ticket counter to ask if there were any cancellations by other people.

All tickets were sold out online, so she could only hope for a last–minute cancellation. However, things did not always go as planned.

Just then, two people appeared behind her. A deep, cold voice with a hint of anger sounded, ” Trying to run away after filing for divorce?”

Cynthia froze, then turned around to see Joshua in a suit, accompanied by Mr. Cheyne.

“I’m sorry, ma’am, but the flights to Nexuria today are fully booked. If you’re not in a hurry, there is a flight at eight in the morning tomorrow,” the staff member said clearly and politely.

“No, thank you,” Cynthia declined.

With the plane and train tickets sold out, she would have to drive back. However, the distance between Jiverton and Nexuria was simply too far. Holding her identification, she walked toward the airport exit, her mood heavier than ever before.

“Cancel a ticket to Nexuria.” Joshua could tell she was in a hurry and calmly approached the counter to speak to the staff member.

Mr. Cheyne was dumbfounded.

With a hint of confusion, he asked, “If you cancel, who will go to the meeting?”

Joshua replied, “Who said I was canceling?”

Mr. Cheyne paused, quickly realizing the situation, and glanced at Cynthia and his boss. He was the one whose ticket was getting canceled!

“Please present your ID,” the staff member said.

With a look from Joshua, Mr. Cheyne obediently handed over his own ticket and ID. The staff member quickly took care of the cancellation and called Cynthia back.

The moment she received the ticket, Cynthia felt a mix of emotions.

Joshua had deliberately canceled his ticket for her.
