She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

Scarlett's POV "Hmm..."

I mean, nice gesture but, it's what a husband does for his wife when they actually live together. We don't.

Hesitating at his hand, I'm a bit daunted in the face, not sure how to refuse without being too hostile. I don't want to make him my enemy anymore. It's tiring hating a person. But I don't know how to be friendly without giving him false hope. We can't go back.

"I'm here bearing gifts," He pulls out two files from behind his back like they are secret flowers, "Take my hand and they are yours. I know for sure that you don't want to miss at least one of them."

The divorce papers? I almost blurt that, but I swallow them. It's too mean.

"What is it?" I demand before taking his hand. He cocks an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised as he laughs: "I thought you would ask if they are our divorce papers."

It would be a good joke if his smile was not bitter.

"It's the divorce papers of your parents," He sighs as if a bit disappointed that I didn't say the mean things we both thought I would say, "Want it?"

I have no idea how he found these. Even Adrian didn't pull it off. I take his hand, and his smile brightens a bit as he pulls me out of my chair. Evilly, he doesn't step back, making me almost pasted against him. But before I protest, he turns my arms behind my back and locks them together with the files, then he lands a kiss on my forehead. Gentle and polite, nothing crossing the line.
