Soon, Callum got a message from the unknown number again, “No, Mr. Finnegan, I don’t have time tomorrow. I’m very busy. I don’t need an asset division, so there is nothing else for us to discuss. Thank you for your understanding.”
Learning that his so-called wife wanted to divorce him and ask for nothing made Callum curious. If he remembered correctly, his wife was only in her early 20s? Wouldn’t she need money?
Aurelia’s father, Niall Sheridan, had long passed away. Why did she choose to divorce him now?
In her early 20s… Callum thought of Aurelia’s profile again. Aurelia was also 21 years old and started to hook up with various men. What a shameless woman she was! Then his wife…
“Do you have someone you love?” If so, he could sign the divorce papers.
Callum still felt a little guilty about his wife in name only. After all, he was always busy with work and gave her nothing but only a title.
His relationship with her started as a marriage of convenience.
Also, his wife didn’t want to be ‘Mrs. Finnegan’ either. He had always kept his marriage low key. After three years of their marriage, the people who knew about this were still the same people as before.
This time, the other party paused for three minutes before replying, and it was a long message. “Yes, I do. Mr. Finnegan, please rest assured. I have never done anything bad to embarrass you over the past three years. Even though I fell in love with someone, I’ve avoided any physical contact with him. So Mr. Finnegan, could you please agree with the divorce?”
How could she have someone she liked? Even if she did, it was only in the past… And he was long gone.
She said this now because she wanted Callum to just sign the divorce papers. After all, a gentleman should help a woman like her.
After replying to Callum’s message, Aurelia began to get angry. Why did Callum reply so slowly? Wasn’t it just a divorce? It made Aurelia feel he was hesitant, as if he had feelings for her.
How could it be?
But on second thought, it made sense to her. Aurelia believed she probably was the most considerate woman in the world, since her husband kept fooling around with women while she never got mad about it. Other women would probably lash out at their husbands if they found out their men cheated on them.
Thinking of this, Aurelia seemed to understand what Callum was hesitating about.
This time, Callum really replied quickly, saying, “Okay, but you need to tell my grandpa about this first. If he agrees, I will sign them immediately.”
After all, their marriage was also arranged by Callum’s grandfather.
Callum’s grandfather? She didn’t even know who he was. When she married Callum, Niall gave her a marriage agreement and asked her to sign it directly, saying, “You won’t regret marrying him.” And that was it.
Where could she find Callum’s grandfather?
Also, that was his grandfather. Why didn’t he go talk to his grandfather himself? Did he want me to be a bad guy? Damn it!
Aurelia sneered, thinking Callum was as shameful and cunning as Evelyn!
Callum was fiddling with his phone, complaining his wife had a bad temper. Based on the tone of the text message, Callum felt a hint of mockery and rage. How dare she talk to him like that? It was as if Aurelia was talking to him. How aggressive!
Callum felt annoyed when he realized that he was thinking about Aurelia again.
He didn’t have the energy to deal with his so-called wife, so he simply replied, “Grandpa is in New York, you can go find him now.”
Aurelia cursed, ready to smash her phone! But instead of smashing it against the wall, she smashed it on the bed.
After a long while, she angrily picked up her phone from the bed and replied to Callum, “Mr. Finnegan, you are so cruel! I will go to New York tomorrow. If your grandfather doesn’t agree with our divorce, I will stay in the Finnegan family forever!”
“Do as you please.”
Callum put his phone away. He had promised his grandfather that he would not divorce her, but his wife did not agree. If she really wanted to divorce him, she should go and convince his grandfather herself. This was normal. Callum didn’t know why she was so angry.
So childish!
After reading his message, Aurelia was so angry that she almost fainted. She tried to calm herself down, murmuring to herself, “Calm down, Aurelia. He’s your husband! He’s the one you agreed to marry. Don’t be angry. Calm down…”
Things about the divorce were going quite as she wanted, which made Aurelia upset. She couldn’t really go to New York to find Callum’s grandfather, could she?
Aurelia had been sighing all day. In the afternoon, Briar couldn’t stand it anymore, covering his ears, and said, “Sheridan Buddy, what’s wrong with you recently? Tell me! Are you going to start menopause?”
Aurelia stared at Briar with resentful eyes. “I’m annoyed!” She was annoyed by everything between her and Callum!
“What made you so annoyed? Tell us! We will help you solve it!” As soon as Briar finished speaking, Liana and Cathy nodded in agreement.
Aurelia was even more annoyed. What could she say? Telling them she wanted to divorce Callum, but Callum disagreed?
Thinking of this, Aurelia laughed strangely. She didn’t even have the marriage certificate in her hand. If she told them this without any solid evidence, her friends would think she had delusions.
After all, her husband was Callum!
“How about this? I have a party to attend tonight. How about I take you there to have some fun?” Briar thought of what his father said in the morning. He had refused at first, but thinking Aurelia might want to go, he changed his mind.
Aurelia nodded in agreement dejectedly. She probably felt too depressed because she hadn’t hung out for fun for a long time. Maybe having some fun would help her feel better.
Cathy was going to attend her friend’s birthday party. Liana had something to do tonight, and Larry was busy studying for the postgraduate entrance examination, so only Briar and she were free.
Thinking about going to a party for fun, Aurelia chose to wear bright red lipstick to go perfect with the red evening dress Briar picked for her.
When she saw the dress, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but twitch in frustration. Such a sexy dress, with a backless design, was really not her type.
“Seriously, Briar?” She didn’t take the dress from the salesperson and glared at the man next to her.
Briar smiled wickedly. “The people who are going there tonight are all bigwigs in the business. Dress up nicely. If you fancy one of them, you can take him home directly… Ouch!”
Before he could finish his words, Briar was kicked on the leg. Aurelia retracted her foot, picked up the red dress, and went into the fitting room.
In the end, Aurelia decided to wear it.
A few minutes later.
Briar shouted exaggeratedly, looking at Aurelia with his eyes wide open, “Aurelia… Oh, no, Miss Sheridan, this is the first time I feel like you are a woman!”
The stunning red backless long evening gown perfectly framed her curvy body. Aurelia looked appealing in this dress.
