Chapter 18
Lucas had married Ashlyn four years ago because of his grandpa. Now that his grandpa had passed away, he should proceed with the divorce procedures.
There was no need to drag it out.
Without waiting for Spencer’s reply, he continued, “No need to wait till then. Tell her I’ll head there now.”
Ashlyn hadn’t even walked out from the villa’s courtyard when she heard Spencer yelling her name. She stopped and saw him running over to stop her in a huff. “Ms. Berry!”

“Great! Thank you, Mr. White.”
At the Registry Office, there was no one there at the divorce division late that afternoon.
The whole hall seemed empty and desolate.
After a few minutes, Lucas and Ashlyn walked out with their Certificate of Divorce.
Ashlyn looked up at the unusually blue sky and took in a deep breath of the exceptionally fresh air.
Finally, they had gotten a divorce, ending their marriage, which lasted for four years.
