This time it was Hugh Dong’s turn to freeze as he stretched his neck to look into the station before rushing back, “President Lane you’re kidding, right? You’re not divorced?”
“When did I say I wanted a divorce?” Baird Lane’s voice was cold as ice.
Hugh Dong touched the tip of his nose, “Well, it’s true that you didn’t say it, but Christine told me about it, she told me last time that she wanted to divorce you, I originally thought that she was just talking, but I didn’t realize that she really did it, so President Lane, you’re unilaterally divorced ah. ”
He smiled gloatingly.
Baird Lane’s eyes narrowed dangerously, “What do you mean? I’m being divorced?”
What an international joke!
Hugh Dong raised his eyebrows, “So President Lane you still don’t know ah, Christine has already left The Lane Family half an hour ago, or I sent her to the station it, in the car she told me and you divorced, so I just now specially call over to congratulate you finally regained your freedom. ”
Left The Lane Family half an hour ago?
Baird Lane’s pupils plummeted when he heard that one.
He didn’t doubt Hugh Dong’s words, he knew very well in his heart that Hugh Dong didn’t need to make fun of him in this kind of matter, after all, this kind of matter would be clear as soon as it was investigated, and there was no need to tell lies at all.
So it follows that what Hugh Dong said is true and Christine White really did leave The Lane Family.
Thinking of this, Baird Lane’s heart was beating fast, and he sat up from the bed against the sharp pain in his back, hung up Hugh Dong’s phone directly and dialed Christine White.
However, a cold mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone, “Hello, the number you have dialed is empty, please check before dialing …”
Empty numbers?
Baird Lane’s hand on his cell phone tightened violently, his face grimacing so horribly that the temperature of the air around him dropped.
That Christine White woman, she actually logged off her phone!
“Aunt Lucy!” cried Baird Lane in the utmost rage.
Aunt Lucy just happened to be out on the porch scrubbing the railing when she heard him shout and hurriedly put down her rag and opened the door to come in, “You’re awake sir.”
“Where’s Christine White?” Baird Lane questioned with crimson eyes.
Aunt Lucy’s eyes flickered sheepishly, “Mrs. She …”
“Speak!” Baird Lane waited impatiently for a low growl.
Aunt Lucy’s body cringed as she rushed back, “Ma’am she’s gone.”
“Where did she go?” Baird Lane clenched his fists.
Aunt Lucy ruthlessly returned, “Ma’am she left The Lane Family, she divorced you and naturally she couldn’t continue to live there, so she left.”
“Divorce?” Baird Lane’s fists trembled a little from clenching so tightly, and the expression on his face was even more ghastly, “How can she get a divorce without my permission?”
“Yes, sir you did not agree to the divorce, but the master agreed, sir remember two days ago when the wife went to the old mansion? Mrs. was the one who went to get the master to agree to her divorce.” Aunt Lucy explained.
Baird Lane’s handsome face went white for a split second, “Looking for Grandpa?”
“Yes, this matter, was also told to me by madam before she left the villa, I thought before that she went to the old mansion, just to check on the master, but I didn’t realize that this was what she had in mind.” Aunt Lucy sighed.
Baird Lane didn’t speak any more, his thin lips pursed tightly and his face taut, his heart both angry and a wave of indescribable emotion.
The emotion filled him so much that he could barely catch his breath and his heart inexplicably turned painful.
That woman, she actually left?
Knowing that he wouldn’t agree to a divorce, she actually went to her grandfather!
She just couldn’t wait to get away from him. Didn’t she say she loved him? If she loved him, why did she leave!
The more Baird Lane thought about it the more unsettled his inner emotions became, even his expression became nonchalant.
It’s the first time Aunt Lucy has seen such an out of sorts gentleman, and for a moment she was surprised, “Sir, are you alright?”
“Why?” Baird Lane’s fists clenched.
Aunt Lucy froze, “What why?”
“Why didn’t you stop her? Why didn’t you wake me up!” Baird Lane questioned loudly.
Aunt Lucy only feel a little aggrieved, “Mr., I can not stop ah, the wife’s temperament does not look gentle and soft, but in fact very stubborn, just like you, a little decided things, the other side can not be changed, and besides, the divorce this matter is the master agreed to, how can I stop? As for waking you …”
She skimmed her lips and continued, “Mistress said that she can’t leave if she wakes you up sir, not to mention that you’ve taken the medicine, sir, and you’re not necessarily waking up.”
“So you just listened to her and didn’t call me, did you?” Baird Lane’s eyes looked at her grimly.
Aunt Lucy don’t look away, “Sir, you can’t blame me, to be honest, even if I woke you up, you can make it so that Mrs. can’t get out of this villa, but Mrs.’s heart of wanting a divorce still won’t change, but now that the matter has been settled, sir, you should just accept it.”
With those words, she went straight out.
The corner of Baird Lane’s mouth arched coldly, “Accept?”
How could he take it.
Three years ago, Christine White was chosen by the old man to be his wife, and he was instead the last to know.
Now, she’s leaving The Lane Family to go away, and he’s still the last to know.
She always said he didn’t think of her as a wife for a change, so how did she ever think of him as being her husband in any of this?
“Gates!” said Baird Lane, dialing Gates’ number.
Gates was in the middle of a meeting when he received the call and immediately walked out of the conference room, responding respectfully, “President Lane, what can I do for you?”
“You will send men to every bus station at once and bring Christine White back to me!” Baird Lane ordered with a grimace.
Gates was filled with confusion, “President Lane, is something wrong with the missus?”
“Stay out of it, just do it, and I hope you won’t let me down.” Baird Lane trailed off.
Gates looked puzzled at this, “Don’t worry President Lane, I’ll bring the lady back.”
“Uh-huh.”
The call ended, and Baird Lane leaned back against the bed and pinched his brow, still inwardly calm.
He just couldn’t figure out why Christine White was so adamant about getting a divorce this time, and even walked away from it.
Even if she left, she even changed her phone number, obviously not wanting to be contacted.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, the knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Baird Lane craned his neck to look at the door, “Come in.”
Aunt Lucy pushed her way in, “Sir, His Lordship is here.”
“Grandpa?” Baird Lane’s eyes sank.
Aunt Lucy nodded, “His Lordship asked you to come down, he wants to talk to you about his wife.”
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “I see.”
He lifted the covers and got out of bed, fighting back the sharp pain in his back, then followed Aunt Lucy down the stairs.
Downstairs, the old master was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and Uncle Fu stood respectfully waiting.
Baird Lane walks over and speaks directly, “Grandpa, why did you agree to Christine White’s request for a divorce?”
The old man calmly put down his teacup, “Why? Isn’t that a question Baird you should ask yourself?”
“Myself?” Baird Lane frowned.
The old man folded his hands on the faucet of his cane and looked at him with some dissatisfaction, “After what you’ve done, it’s only natural for that Christine girl to mention divorce, and it’s only reasonable for me to agree to it.”
“But it’s my marriage.” Baird Lane clenched his hands, “Three years ago, you told me to get married and I did, and now you’re telling me to get a divorce, so do I have to listen to you too?”
“Young master, this time it wasn’t master who asked you to get a divorce, it was young granny who proposed it, and master also said that the reason why young granny got divorced was also on you, it was you who broke young granny’s heart, that’s why she wanted to get divorced, you can’t blame master.” Uncle Fu couldn’t help but speak.
Baird Lane clenched the seat of his back teeth, “I know, but Grandpa, I’m not ready to divorce her.”
“If you don’t want a divorce, then why did you do all those things to disappoint her again?” The old man looked at him coldly.
