Chapter 53 Surprise
“Mr. Lockhart has gone to Leuv for work,” Jamie explained.
Abigail demanded, “Send me his detailed itinerary.”
“Will do.”
Right after giving his agreement, Jamie hung up. He only took a moment to send Stephen’s work itinerary to Abigail.
She took a brief look at it. Then, she opened her ticketing app and booked a ticket without any hesitation. Once she was done, she headed straight to the airport.
Leuv was only a three–hour plane ride from Tilendo City.
After finding Stephen, they would go settle their divorce immediately. It wouldn’t hold them up in any way when they came back later on.
Both cities were close by, so their climate was pretty similar.
After disembarking from her flight, Abigail flagged a cab and went straight to the hotel where Stephen was staying. After booking a room, she sat in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for him to appear.
This bastard refused to answer her call.
Hah. Did he think that he could get away because he was on a work trip?
No way!
However, Abigail waited for a really long time. It wasn’t until the skies had darkened that Stephen’s tall figure finally walked through the doors.
Abigail was already nodding off. When she suddenly caught sight of him, she blinked, thinking that she was in a daze. After confirming that her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her, she rose to her feet and walked toward him.
“Stephen Lockhart,” she called out to him even before she got near.
Stephen paused. He looked in her direction. The moment his gaze landed on her, it was apparent that the look in his eyes darkened.
He couldn’t believe that she had come here.
Tim Hale, the man beside him, asked, “Mr. Lockhart, this is…”
A helpless yet loving smile came across Stephen’s otherwise stern face. He
answered straightforwardly, “This is my wife,
When Tim heard this, he smiled instantly. It looks like Mrs. Lockhart is here to give you a surprise. In that case, I shall not stand in the way of both of you. I’ll see you at the party tonight.”
Stephen nodded slightly. “See you, Mr. Hale,
Abigail stopped behind Stephen. Naturally, she overheard their conversation. She had a frown on her face and she was visibly tense.
Stephen turned around and looked at her. “What are you doing here?”
Abigail remained expressionless. “I’m here to bring you a surprise. The courthouse is still open. Let’s go and get our marriage certificate now. Is this enough of a surprise for you?”
The warm smile on Stephen’s face vanished gradually. He stared at her through his gradually. He stared at her through his dark eyes for a moment before asking, “Did you hear what I said to Mr. Hale just now?
Abigail nodded. “I did. What does it have to do with me?”
He was the one who introduced her as such.
Did he ask her for her permission?
What was he trying to do now?
Stephen let out a sardonic laugh at her nonchalance. “I just told Mr. Hale that you are my wife. I also promised him that I’d bring you along to the dinner party tonight. If we were to get our divorce now, it would give him a bad impression. I’m afraid that it’ll affect this partnership.”
“I see.”
As before, Abigail acted like she didn’t care. “So?”
Stephen looked at her with an unamused gaze. “So, you have to attend the dinner party with me. We’ll talk about our divorce after we get back.”
Upon saying that, he walked past her and went straight toward the elevators.
Abigail blinked. Did she even agree to that?
“Hold up.” She turned around and went after him. “I didn’t agree to attend the party.”
The doors to an elevator happened to open They entered the elevator one after the other.
Chappér 53 Surprise
In a dull voice, Stephen uttered, “I just want to get some rest right now.”
Abigail’s face dropped.
If she didn’t attend the dinner party, he wouldn’t divorce her.
What in the world was he thinking?
3/3
The atmosphere in the elevator was a little heavy. Abigail reached out and pressed
the button for the seventh floor, where her hotel room was.
