Chapter 274

After searching for some time, I found some pretty good guides. Since I had a bad memory and was

terrible at recognizing places, I planned to write down the addresses of these places. After looking

around the desk and failing to find a pen and paper, I pulled the drawer open.

A kraft paper file folder bag at the top of the drawer caught my attention. The bag was closed up

very tightly. Theo had just come here, so he probably would not have had the time to start working

yet. What was i t that needed to be kept so securely?

I was a little curious, so I opened the folder. The contents inside startled me. I felt myself

suffocating.

What was lying inside was none other than the divorce agreement!

I had not been able to find it back then, so I thought he had thrown it away. However, not only had it

been kept so well-preserved, but it had also been deliberately brought to Whaldorf City.

After feeling stunned for a very long time, I put the agreement back into the folder, feeling myself

choking up. Unable to stand the stifling air in the study, I went downstairs.

Miss Zuri was holding a plate of dessert and had been just about to serve it. When she saw me, she

said with a smile, "I made some cakes. Have a taste."

"Just leave it on the table for now. I'm not hungry yet." I was in no mood to entertain her as I wore

my shoes and walked out the door.

Whaldorf City was not like Salt City. I did not know where to go, but I knew I did not want to stay in

the house right now. I ran along the broad path of the villa until I arrived at the crowded street.

After strolling in the streets for a very long time, I looked up and saw that everybody was in a rush

except me. I was walking around aimlessly.

I had known he wanted a divorce from the very day w e got married. I had been mentally prepared

this entire time.

Had it not been for the sudden appearance of this child, he and I would be strangers right now.

I had gotten so carried away with the kindness he had shown me during this time that I completely

forgot about this. Suddenly seeing the divorce agreement he had prepared again, I still felt a little

reluctant to accept it.

Thinking about it now, I figured he was probably planning to speak to me about this after the child

was born.

When I got tired of walking, I sat down on the garden steps and looked around me. Everything

seemed so unfamiliar. I did not know where I was nor where I should go.

I reached into my pocket only to realize that I had forgotten to take my purse and phone with me as

I had been in such a rush to leave earlier.

I seemed to have lost my way. I stood up in a daze and continued to walk forward.

The sky started pouring with no prior warning. The crowd around me suddenly disappeared without

a trace.

With no umbrella, money, or a mobile phone, and not knowing the way home, I helplessly stood

under a tree looking ahead. I was in a daze and had no idea what t o do.

At that moment, a yellow Porsche pulled up beside me.

When I looked down and realized that I was standing inside a parking bay, I quickly backed away

and gave way to the car.

I could not stand here forever, so after hesitating for a moment, I turned around and continued

forward.

"Wanda Lane.” An attractive voice rang out behind me.

The rain was heavy, and my vision was blurred. After a long time, I was very faintly able to identify

the direction of the voice coming from the Porsche.

I lowered my head and saw Matthew's clean and charming face poking out of the window that had

been rolled down.

What was he doing here?

I was drenched at the moment and looking extremely wretched, so I forced a smile to try to mask

my embarrassing state. "What a coincidence, Mr.

Matthew. We meet again!"

He did not say anything, merely looking at me quietly.

I was so awkward that I began to wryly laugh. However, I soon felt my face stiffen, so I banished my

fake smile and turned around, preparing to leave.

"Get in." His voice rang out behind me, it was hard to detect any emotion in it.

"It's fine. I just thought I would just take a stroll out here for a bit, but I did not expect it to rain." I

pointed a t my clothes with a laugh. "I’ll dirty your car."

His expression remained dark and deep. "The weather forecast stated that there would be heavy

rain tonight. If you keep walking around, you won't be able to find your way back when the sky turns

dark later."

Darn it... He had seen right through me.

I bit my lip and looked up at the sky. He sounded like h e was speaking truthfully. I sighed helplessly,

knowing this was not the time to be stubborn.

Speaking no more, I turned around and got in his car. He turned around to look at me, then handed

me a dry towel. "Wipe your hair dry or you'll catch a cold."

I took it and thanked him stiffly, lowering my head to wipe my hair.

I thought about how I had just been criticizing him and his mother a few hours ago. A short time

later, I landed myself in dire straits and needed saving. I was very eager to dig a hole in the car and

hide myself in it.

"Where's your house?” Fortunately, he did not say anything as he revved up the car, asking me for

my address.
