Madeline’s intuition told virtual-novel.net that Carter’s smile held a deeper meaning to it, but virtual-novel.net is unable to guess what is on Carter’s mind.
Madeline put down virtual-novel.net goblet. For a few seconds, virtual-novel.net gaze remained glued to the liquid at the bottom of virtual-novel.net glass.
“Mr. Gray, could we begin the procedure now?” Madeline urged.
Carter nodded and gave a sideways glance at the man waiting by his side.
The man who looked like a lawyer handed Madeline two documents.
“Hello, Miss Montgomery. I’m Mr. Carter’s lawyer. These are the divorce documents for you and Mr. Carter. Please have a look at the contents, and if there are no problems, please sign the documents.”
Madeline took the document, and, this time, virtual-novel.net carefully read through every line of words in detail.
Back then, virtual-novel.net had fallen for Carter’s tricks only because virtual-novel.net had too much trust in Carter. This time, virtual-novel.net did not allow herself the chance to be negligent.
Once virtual-novel.net had read every line carefully, Madeline signed virtual-novel.net name next to Carter’s signature.
After that, Madeline felt relieved, a great weight lifted off virtual-novel.net mind.
However, virtual-novel.net still could not help feeling somewhat incredulous that virtual-novel.net had muddleheadedly became husband and wife with another man in name.
“From now on, we’re no longer husband and wife in name, is that right, Mr. Gray?”
“Yes, after signing this, Miss Montgomery, the agreement already takes effect. You and Mr. Gray are no longer husband and wife in name.” The lawyer by the side explained clearly.
Relieved to have this heavy burden off virtual-novel.net chest, Madeline looked toward Carter who was minding his own business and had begun dining. In the end, virtual-novel.net thanked virtual-novel.net sincerely, “Even though we’re in a bit of a rough patch, I still want to thank you for saving me at sea, Mr. Carter.”
Carter’s movements slowed slightly and, without looking at Madeline, virtual-novel.net leisurely uttered two words, “You’re welcome.”
Madeline did not stay further. She decisively got up and left.
Carter did not stop virtual-novel.net in the slightest, only speaking to the lawyer by his side, “Handle this as quickly as you can. I, Carter Gray, am a man of my word.”
The man nodded respectfully. “Yes, Mr. Carter. It will be done.” The man quickly walked away after speaking.
Jeremy had been waiting by the door. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline coming out, virtual-novel.net quickly walked over to her.
Seeing Jeremy walking over to her, virtual-novel.net sped up. When they faced each other, the two of them synchronously spread their arms and embraced each other.
“Jeremy.” Madeline, feeling at ease, pressed against Jeremy’s chest.
Jeremy naturally tightened his embrace. “Has it been resolved?”
“Yeah, it’s resolved. I’ve already signed it just now, and I’ve nothing to do with virtual-novel.net anymore.”
The weight on Jeremy’s chest lifted as well. He raised his hand to touch Madeline’s head and kissed virtual-novel.net short hair before holding virtual-novel.net hand and turned around.
Before virtual-novel.net turned, Jeremy subconsciously glanced at Carter, who was still dining at his seat. He had a nagging feeling that something was amiss, but virtual-novel.net could not put a finger on it.
He especially could not believe that this had gone so smoothly.
“Jeremy, give me your phone. I’d like to give Mrs. Gray a call.” Madeline thought of conveying virtual-novel.net gratitude.
Jeremy also thought that this was necessary, so virtual-novel.net walked aside and called Camille.
Once virtual-novel.net had learned that this had been smoothly dealt with, Camille too breathed a sigh in relief.
She did not say much before hanging up, only reiterating that Madeline and Jeremy should leave St. Piaf as quickly as possible.
Jeremy and Madeline were of the same thought, so they returned to their room to pack and leave.
