Chapter 465

“Mr. Kane. It’s already nine. Where are you?”

Keegan pursed his lips. “I’ll be there in a while.”

‘How long is a while? Five minutes? Ten minutes? Give me a specific time.’

Keegan frowned. “We’ve spent three years together. Can’t you just wait for a while more?’

’I can’t,” Stella said flatly. “I couldn’t even spend another second with you when I started to have the idea of divorcing you. Please be here earlier. You’re not the type of person that would dawdle around.”

Then, she hung up.

From afar, Keegan looked at the entrance of the office and saw the woman who had just called him. Suddenly, he was baffled at how reluctant he was.

He left the house at seven o’clock and had been circling this road countless times. He watched Stella getting off the car, becoming impatient, and eventually calling him.

‘She gave up on me. She doesn’t want her name to be next to mine for another second.’

He pursed his lips and parked his car. Then, he got out of the car with the documents.

Stella’s gaze paused as soon as she saw him. Then, when he got closer, she said, “Let’s go.”

She turned around and went inside before him.

The marriage registration counter was filled with joy, but it was the complete opposite at the divorce department.

While they were lining up, Stella saw a few couples arguing in the queue. Some of them even cursed at their ex-partner and the atmosphere was just awful.

Compared to her and Keegan who did not really talk with each other throughout the whole process, they were considered a more peaceful pair.

Keegan turned and looked at her.

Stella looked nonchalant. However, her eyes were a little swollen, as if she had cried last night.

He wanted to say something, but their queue number was called. Stella stood up and said, “Let’s go. It’s our turn now.”

Keegan kept quiet and followed behind Stella reluctantly.

The officer took their ID. He looked at it and asked before verifying their identities, “Why are you getting a divorce?”

Keegan heard Stella speak before he could say anything. “I cheated.”

Keegan was speechless.

The officer looked at her in surprise before shifting his gaze to Keegan.

Then, he said, “Did you cheat on him with… Brad Pitt?”

Stella kept quiet.

She understood what the officer was implying. He did not believe that she cheated on Keegan because of how handsome he was.

Then, she pursed her lips and added, “I cheated emotionally.”

“Well, that’s not entirely cheating. Perhaps it was just a temporary feeling. You two have been married for more than three years now, and there’s no history of you both filing for a divorce. Your relationship with each other is rather stable, so why don’t you think about it again?”

“It’s fine.” Stella gave the office her documents. “Please get it done.”

The officer looked at Keegan. “What about you, sir?”

Keegan pursed his lips. “Whatever.”

‘Whatever, what?’

Stella rushed him. “Please be quick. I have something else to do.”

The officer asked again because Keegan did not make himself clear about his decision. “Do you guys have children? Have you agreed on the division of matrimonial assets?”

Stella’s eyes turned cold. “We don’t have any children. I got myself a car when we married, and the house belongs to him entirely, as I didn’t pay for it at all. I cheated emotionally, so I’m not going to take anything from him. The car will be the only thing I want, and he can have everything else.”

The officer frowned. “That sounds like a very sloppy decision.”

Then, he asked Keegan, “Are you okay with that?”

Keegan was already very mad at how Stella lied that she cheated on him as a reason for their divorce, so he said angrily, “Yeah. Just do as she said.”

The officer stopped talking and handed them two documents. “Please have a look at this and sign if everything’s correct.”
