Once they arrived at the city hall, Sophia hesitated for a long while before finally taking
out her ID card needed for application for marriage revocation.
The lawyer Jeremy brought with him liaised with the counter-staff, and the whole process
went smoothly.
Finally, the counter-staff took back and shredded their marriage certificate, and that was
the end of their sham marriage.
Tommy wheeled Jeremy out of the city hall.
The two of them were about to get into the car sent by the Holdens to go to the airport
when Sophia rushed out and said, “Jeremy, why are you leaving? Didn’t you promise me to
have one last meal together?”
Jeremy’s heart was not in eating with Sophia. He wanted nothing more than to return
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthome, with his head held high, and tell Corinne that he had solved the problem. He
wanted nothing more than to wait with her for the baby to be born.
However, as much as he was annoyed with having to eat with Sophia, he could not bear to
go back on his promise after seeing how desperate she looked.
Barring any surprises, Jeremy knew he was not going to see Sophia anymore, and it would
be good if they could end their decade-long friendship by having a farewell meal together.
Moreover, doing this could appease Adam and ensure he would not do anything
dangerous back in New Capital City.
Thus, Jeremy turned and asked, “Tommy, what time is our flight?”
Tommy checked his watch. “It’s currently 8 a.m. right now, which gives us about three
hours before the plane leaves. There’s still some time for you to have breakfast, Mister
Jeremy.”
“Okay, thanks,” said Jeremy. He turned back to Sophia and said, “Let’s eat somewhere
near here.”
Even though Sophia got what she wanted, she still could not help but feel sad. She did not
expect that Jeremy had already bought his flight back home. ‘So he’s going flying back
home after breakfast? Does that mean he never planned to have this last meal with me at
all? Just how much in a hurry is he in to see Corinne?’
Since Jeremy already said to eat somewhere nearby, Sophia had no choice but to simply
choose a restaurant that was within walking distance from the city hall.
After they were both seated, Sophia asked cheerfully, “What do you want to eat, Jeremy?”
“Whatever is fine,” replied Jeremy emotionlessly. It was obvious his heart was not there
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith her at all. He looked like he was tortured.
Shot down, Sophia decided to order the same thing for Jeremy as she did for herself.
After that, she said anxiously, “Jeremy, my father said he’d take responsibility for the
injury he caused you by getting the best doctors in Molomia to treat you. There’s really no
need for you to go back so fast. Moreover, I’m worried your condition will worsen on the
plane.”
Frankly, every fiber of Jeremy’s body was throbbed with pain. However, the only way
people could tell was from his pale face as he did not look like he was in pain at all.
“I deserve this pain. We’re even now. I don’t need your father to take responsibility,” he
said.
“But Jeremy…”
Jeremy must have guessed what she wanted to say as he interrupted her, “Sophia, I’m
sure you’ll find a man who’ll love you very much in the future, but that man isn’t going to
be me.”
