Chapter 323 Bianca and Xavier at the Civil Registry Office, Divorce!
Monday, 10 am, in front of the Civil Registry Office.
Bianca did not expect that Xavier gave her a call, telling her to wait at the entrance of the Civil RegistryOffice. He would proceed with the divorce.
At first, she did not believe it.
She thought that there would be a long and arduous legal battle before she could end that marriage.She did not expect that Xavier would change his mind that easily.
Bianca knew that her workplace attendance was sporadic, and she knew that people would be talkingbehind her if she was absent from work again. However, she was anxious to be free from thatmarriage, and she braced herself before she requested another day of leave from the department lead.
Then, she rushed to the Civil Registry Office.
Standing at the crossroads, she anxiously glanced at the time on her phone. It was getting close to theappointed time. Was Xavier going to change his mind?
Just when she was about to give Xavier a call, she saw him walking over toward the building.
The man was as devilishly handsome as ever, and his eyes carried that usual seductive charm. Manyyoung women turned their heads toward him and smiled as he walked past, which made Bianca shakeher head.
Those young women could only see Xavier's handsome looks, but they did not know the evil that washidden beneath his skin...
Bianca felt the temperature drop as Xavier neared her.
Her limbs turned stiff, and she could not move.
Memories of that night had hurt her too much. She could not forget the scene where he had almostviolated her.
Xavier looked at Bianca. He was caught in a daze.
She was as beautiful and charming as ever. Her long eyelashes seemed to be tipped with frost,perhaps because of the cold weather. As they trembled, tiny snowflakes seemed to fall like microscopicbutterflies. The sight took his breath away and shook him to the core.
He thought that he had killed all feelings for that woman, but at the moment he saw her, he could nothelp but be moved by her beauty.
If only she would treat him a little better and pay him a little more attention, he would not let her goeven if Luke would send him to prison!
However, Bianca's words shattered that fantasy. "Now that you're here, let's get this done with."
Xavier's eyes were transfixed on Bianca's face.novelbin
He grabbed her elbow, and he could not control the anger in his voice. "Do you want the divorce thatmuch, Bianca? You can't wait to fall into Luke's arms, hmm?” "What are you doing, Xavier? We're inpublic!" Bianca was shocked by his sudden gesture.
She wanted to shove him away, but his grip on her became tighter, and he pulled her into his embrace.
Bianca pushed against his chest and tried to stay calm. "Don't be like that, Xavier. I've said that we'renot meant for each other. You'll eventually find the woman for you..."
Xavier pressed his lips together. His expression was unbelievably sullen!
He did not want to hear that they were not meant for each other!
He wanted to curse out loud, but he stopped himself.
Xavier's ice-cold fingertips touched her delicate face. The face was beautiful, but right now, it showedhim nothing but disdain and rejection. He fell into despair.
He had done so much for her, including opposing his own parents and leaving the family. Even ifBianca's heart was as cold as ice, she should still have felt his warmth.
Unfortunately, the woman's heart was colder than ice.
Bianca clenched her fists and stomped on Xavier's foot with her high heels. "No matter what happens, Iwant this divorce!" She said coldly, "If you don't plan to go through with the divorce today, you can gohome, and I'll see you again in court. If that happens, that wont end well for you!"
Bianca was determined to divorce Xavier.
She wanted to be out of that joyless marriage no matter what it took. To be forced together with himwas nothing but endless torment and pain. Xavier's heart ached when he heard those words.
Looking at her resolute expression, he suddenly let go of her. "Let's go in. We'll proceed with thedivorce."
She had no feelings for him, and forcing her would only invite more hate. Was that worth it?
Xavier walked toward the Civil Registry Office in large strides. From the back, he seemed inconsolablyforlorn.
Bianca stood there in a daze. When she came to her senses, she quickly followed behind him.
In the Civil Registry Office, more people were applying for divorce than marriage.
In front of them were three couples.
The couple in the front was middle-aged. The man was short and plump with an unremarkable face,while the woman was gaunt and miserable. She was probably in her forties, but her sideburns wereturning white.
The staff of the Civil Registry tried to mediate and asked the couple the reason for divorce.
The man was in a bad mood. He slammed the table impatiently and said, "I want a divorce! Do I need areason? Can't I say that I don't like this crone anymore? Look at her, she doesn't wear makeup, andshe doesn't know how to dress up. She brings me nothing but shame! I don't mind if she stays at homeand shuts up, but she's tried to meddle whenever I have to stay out late for work. What use do I havefor her?"
The woman cried angry tears when her husband said that.
She pointed at his nose and yelled, "Do you have a heart, Moe Larson?
Back then, you were so poor that you could only afford to eat bread and salt every night, yet I chose tomarry you. I didn't expect that you would start to misbehave after landing a windfall. I don't care if youhave affairs outside, but you even brought that wench back. I was blind to have fallen in love withyou..."
The man's embarrassment turned into anger when he heard his wife expose his misdeeds in public. Helifted his hand and slapped her several times!
The woman spun around, fell on the floor, and started bawling while spewing curses at that man.
The office instantly descended into chaos. Everyone's gazes fell on that couple.
Bianca felt emotional when she saw the scene.
In a marriage, the woman was always at a disadvantage.
Without a career, a woman would devote all her time and effort toward her husband and children.Eventually, she would not be as beautiful as before, and that would make her husband become boredof her. Marriage crises would usually happen by then, such as the couple in front of her eyes...
Bianca decided that she would keep working even after she married Luke. She would not abandon hercareer!
