If it had been any other day, her mind this restless, she would’ve had a hard time sleeping. But ever since she got pregnant, she’d been unusually sleepy. Lying in bed, thoughts tumbling around in her head, she still drifted off not long after.

She forgot to set an alarm. By the time she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She glanced at the time-it was 8.03 a.m.

City Hall would be opening soon. She and James were really going to get divorced!

“James?”

Opening her bedroom door, Lily jumped in surprise. She hadn’t expected James to be standing right outside.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she thought she saw a trace of unspoken sorrow and pain on that breathtakingly handsome, regal face of his.

And under his eyes were faint dark circles, as if he hadn’t slept at all.

“Lily.”

James really hadn’t slept a wink all night.

Early that morning, he’d seen another one of Jackson’s Facebook posts-set to be visible only to him.

“Getting the marriage certificate today! From now on, she can touch her favorite abs every single day, how excited!”

Attached was a photo of Jackson’s ID.

Clearly, Jackson was just waiting for him and Lily to finalize their divorce so he could immediately register a marriage with her. James also knew how much Lily liked Jackson, she dreamed of marrying him. But he just couldn’t bear to see her marry someone else.

He knew this behavior was low and shameless; still, he forced out an excuse without blinking. “Sorry. Something urgent’s come up. I have to head to Velkaria, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. I probably won’t be able to go to City Hall with you today to get the divorce certificate.”
