A stubborn look appeared on her face.
After a few moments of silence, Tyler said, âThe day after tomorrow.â
Vicky had always thought that Tyler was greedy for wanting the best of both worlds; to have a partner
in bed and another spiritual partner.
Plenty of women would accept such an arrangement considering his looks and status, but not Vicky.
She thought that Tyler would delay the process indefinitely and was surprised that Tyler agreed.
âSure,â she blurted. âThe day after tomorrow, then.â
Tyler shot her one last glance before turning to leave.
Two days later, Vicky arrived in front of the Civil Administration office.
Tyler continued to return home every night and insisted on being intimate with her, but Vicky put up with
him since there were only two days left and did not want to risk provoking him.
She continued to console herself and finally made it to the day when they were supposed to file for
divorce.
She waited until ten in the morning and did not see Tyler anywhere, so she gave him a call. âTyler, Iâm
in front of the Civil Administration office now.
Where are you?â
After a few moments of silence, he said, âDid I tell you when Iâm going to come over?â
She froze when she recalled that Tyler never mentioned the time, and she simply jumped to the
conclusion that they would be doing it early in the morning.
âWhen are you coming over, then?â
âIn the afternoon.â
âWhat time, exactly?â
His voice grew impatient. âAfter Iâm done with work.â
Before Vicky had the chance to respond, Tyler hung up.
At noon, Vicky found a restaurant to have lunch before sitting in a cafe outside the Civil Administration
office, waiting patiently.
The afternoon sunlight was gentle, and she felt tired as she had not been able to sleep well in the past
few days.
Worried that she might fall asleep and miss Tyler, she ordered two cups of coffee for herself.
She waited all the way until half past four and the Civil Administration office was about to close, but
Tyler was nowhere to be found.
Vicky gave him another call again. âTyler, are you on your way?â
âYeah.â
Something seemed to have clicked in her mind, and she tensed again when she heard Harryâs voice.
âMister Hart, hereâs the contract weâll be using later. Please have a look.â
âAlright.â
Vicky was instantly alerted. âTyler, where exactly are you?â
She heard the sounds of pages before flipped as he said, âOn the way.â
âTo where?â
âTo a meeting where a contract is to be signed,â he said casually.
âDidnât you say youâre coming to the Civil Administration office to file the divorce with me?â Vicky
questioned sharply.
âSomething came up,â he said. âJust go home for now. Weâll do it tomorrow. â
âTomorrow? Are you sure?â
Tyler seemed to have finished reading all the pages and said a few words to Harry, before responding
to her question. âAre we supposed to wait until the day after tomorrow?â
