Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 362

With Mila's nerves stretched taut the entire ride, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Adrian drove steadily, and it wasn't until the city hall came into view that Mila finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Leonard, who'd gone ahead to handle some paperwork, arrived just in time, bringing all the necessary documents. Mila was finally able to reclaim everything that Lysander had held back from her-except, of course, for the family register.

She hadn't forgotten she wasn't the head of household. While they waited for the staff to review their documents, she spoke up, "Let's sort out the address change after this."

He didn't bother to look at her, his tone glacial. "Mila, do you take me for a saint? If you want something, you might consider asking nicely. Come back when you've learned how to ask for help properly."

Mila just stared at him, exasperated. What a lunatic.
