Chapter 227

“Who knows where she learned all this-always coming up with new tricks,” Nate muttered, shaking his head.

That’s when Carter spoke up, “She said she wants a divorce.”

Nate rolled his eyes with a sigh. “She’s been threatening that for ages. Has she ever followed through? She always uses it to pressure you. Honestly, I’m tired of hearing it, even if she’s not.

“She just brought up going to the courthouse to file for divorce because you didn’t show up for that date. If you had gone, she wouldn’t be talking about divorce at all.

“And anyway, divorces aren’t that simple anymore. There’s a mandatory cooling-off period now-and even getting an appointment to file takes forever.

“One of my buddies just went with his wife to start the cooling-off period, and guess what? The slots were full! He had to wait until next month just to get the appointment.

“Then there’s another full month of cooling-off after that. So, bare minimum, we’re talking two months. Sharon knows all this. She’s just using it to scare you.”

Nate’s voice rambled on until Carter cut in. “She already filed a lawsuit. Took it to court.”
