It was at this time that Irvin seemingly appeared out of nowhere with a sullen face. I followed him to his car, and we got into the car without any words. I was still depressed at the thought of the divorce agreement in the drawer, and I was somewhat unwilling to head back to the villa. Even though Jarold City was a large city, there was nowhere I could go.

Irvin drove steadily in the direction of the nature reserves' residential area downtown. I was stunned when I noticed that. Looking sideways at him, I asked, "Aren't you sending me back to the Roberts'?" "You can stay in the Granger Manor for the time being," said he without much expression.

I was perplexed, but I didn't have a chance to say anything as he had already pulled up and got out of the car.

I followed him into the house and saw Nerissa. She was walking down the stairs with her red-rimmed eyes in a coat. It seemed that she had a good cry, and she was ready to go out despite the state she was in.

"We just so happened to meet on the street," Irvin coldly said, and he went upstairs. It was obvious that he didn't want to say anything more.
