CHAPTER 223

“Mr. York, did you forget? Today is the day you and Nina are getting divorced. You should go to the district court to handle the formalities,” Quincy reminded once again. Upon hearing this, Nash remained silent!

His gaze shifted to the calendar. As soon as today arrived, it marked the completion of their three-year term, as well as the day they agreed to divorce. How time flew by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had been married to Nina for three years. However, Quincy was the one who understood the situation the best.

Nash fidgeted with his tie in irritation, then looked at Quincy with an even colder tone, “Did Nina mention this to you?”

Quincy sensed his unfriendly tone, making him uncomfortable, but he could only reply, “…Yes.”

“Are you close to Nina? That she’d tell you about this first?” Nash asked again.

Quincy felt a knot in his throat, “We’re just colleagues. We exchange a few words casually during work, nothing more.”

He could not shake off the feeling that Nash regarded him as a rival. Quincy added, “Mr. York, there’s nothing between Nina and me except work. We hardly talk beyond that!”

Nash felt a surge of frustration. Nina had not shown much warmth towards him yesterday. It turned out she was planning to resign and leave him. She had thought it through. She resigned a day before their divorce. Nash remained expressionless, but he also did not take any action, continuing to sit and work at his desk.

Quincy realized that Nash had no intention of going. The idea of divorce was just Nina’s wishful thinking. Mr. York had not considered divorcing her at all. Quincy decided not to say anything further; anything he said now would be wrong. If his bonus was deducted, how would he even go home for the New Year?

However, less than three minutes later, Nash’s phone rang.

By this time, Nina had been waiting at the district court for almost half an hour. Knowing Nash as she did, she was certain he would arrive promptly to handle the divorce proceedings. But after waiting for so long without seeing him, she had no choice but to call and ask about the situation.

Although they had not discussed

divorce the day before, it had been mentioned recently, and they had both agreed. She believed they would both remember. There was no need to say more.

Clearly, Nash had possibly forgotten. She decided to kindly remind him When She called, Nash glanced at it, but instead of answering, hedooked at Quincy and said, “You take it.”

“Oh,” Quincy quickly took the phone. Answering the call, he said, “Hello, Nina.”

Quincy taking the call caught Nina off guard for a moment. She said, “Could you let Mr. York take the call?”

Quincy looked at Nash. Nash responded, “Tell her I’m busy.”

“Mr. York is a bit busy right now and can’t talk,” Quincy replied.

Nina furrowed her brows and asked again, “Did he forget? Quincy, remind him to come to the district court to handle the divorce proceedings!”

Quincy looked at Nash again, receiving his message, “Mr. York is very busy right now and can’t make it to the divorce today.”

Nina was at a loss for words. She

had expected to finalize the divorce today, had prepared everything, and was waiting at the district court. Now she was being told he was too busy to come. This was not the outcome she had hoped for.

Nina asked, “Then when will he be available?”

Quincy reiterated, “I’m not sure when Mr. York is available, but he won’t be able to go to the district court today.”

After replying, Quincy received another message from Nash and added, “Nina, you’re late for work today. Hurry to the office, or your pay will be docked.”
