The lively atmosphere of Kristopher’s party was abruptly interrupted when the courier arrived with unexpected divorce papers.

Kristopher had just escorted Lise back to her residence, and the night had fully settled in.

Oliver, seated in the passenger seat, turned to Kristopher with a concerned expression and asked, “Mr.
