Chapter 3

Katherine was very punctual. She arrived at City Hall at 8:50 am. even though they agreed to meet up at 9:00 am.

However, there was no sign of Christopher even after half an hour.

It was unusual because he was usually punctual. Moreover, the divorce was exactly what he wanted.

“Never mind. If nothing goes wrong, today’s the last time we’ll ever meet. Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe there’s a trallic jam on the way,” Katherine thought.

However, even after waiting for a long time, Christopher was still nowhere to be seen.

When it was almost eleven o’clock, she was losing her patience..

“Didn’t we agree to meet at nine o’clock at City Hall? I’d think you still have feelings for me if you don’t appear. Get here quickly. Otherwise, the staff will be leaving soon,” Katherine expressed all her displeasure in one breath as if that would make her feel better.

“I’m currently in Baykeep. Something happened to the project here. I just reached here. this morning. I’ll inform you again when I have the time.”

With that said, Christopher hung up the phone.

“How ridiculous! I’m getting stood up on the day of my divorce!” Katherine mused. However, she did not bother too much about it since they would still get divorced eventually. Thinking that she definitely could not live in Christopher’s mansion anymore, she decided to go and pack her things.

There were a lot of housekeepers in the mansion. The butler, George Wrathall, quickly rushed over and greeted Katherine politely upon seeing her, “Good day, Mrs. Levinel”

Katherine used to feel proud whenever she was addressed as “Mrs. Levine.” However, it sounded like a joke to her now.

Katherine said calmly. “There’s no Mrs. Levine here, just Ms. Xander.”

George was confused at her words. Katherine did not know why she said that to him either, as it was unnecessary.

She quickly went upstairs and rushed straight to her room. Then, she packed. everything that belonged to her into her luggage but did not include the handbags and jewelry that Christopher had given her.

After that, she pulled a drawer open. There was an exquisite gift box with a handmade stamp inside. It was a birthday gift meticulously prepared by her for Christopher.

She always remembered to prepare gifts for him on special occasions. However, they were always left unused on the shelves.

When she was preparing it, she thought a handmade stamp would not only express her sincerity but could also come in handy for Christopher later on.
