“Well, would you like to accompany me?” she asked him in a low voice.
“I happen to have a prenatal appointment this afternoon. Why don’t we dine out at noon? We haven’t dated for ages.”
In the Exceed Group’s CEO office, Waylen was intricately yet effortlessly fixing his tie.
There was a stunning elegance in the way his finger twiddled against the fabric of the tie.
With a smile, he replied, “I would love that.”
Vera and Rena arrived at the detention house almost at the same time.
The door of the car opened and Roscoe came out, with Vera following behind. Vera’s nose looked a tad reddish, suggesting that she had just cried.
Noticing this, Rena hurriedly approached Vera and placed a hand on her shoulder.
“Why are you crying? I thought you’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time!”
Vera nodded and sniffled.
Before they could enter the detention house, another car arrived.
When they turned around, they saw Joseph hurriedly stepping out of the car.
Joseph stared at Vera with mixed emotions brewing on his face.
Aline had it coming to her due to her past wrongdoing. Joseph’s family had been urging him to get married since he was single for some time. While he had dated several women, none of those relationships lasted long enough to reach marriage.
The villa where he once lived with Vera during their marriage remained untouched, its original state preserved.
From time to time, Joseph would go there and pay a visit.
Sometimes, he would lay on the bed, close his eyes, and pretend that he and Vera were still together.
But he could only wallow in this illusion for so long.
They were already divorced. Vera had already married Roscoe and led a happy life.
