Chapter 20
I did not say anything. Cecilia did not know about the baby yet.
“When are we leaving? I will need to hand over the shop to someone else first.” She had waited a long
time for this day, and now she was full of anticipation.
“Soon. When I am done with what I need to do the three of us will leave for a brand new city together
and start over.” Since I had already made up my mind, I did not want to delay any
longer. The sooner we settled this, the better.
“Three of us?” Cecelia glanced at my belly. She then took the iced milk tea from my hands and
replaced it with a cup of hot water. It is okay. I am here.
The three of us will be happy.”
She had always understood me so well and always so accommodating to me. I thought this must be
the true meaning o f having a best friend!
After coming out of Cecilia’s place, I felt completely relieved. Once I had made the decision, I felt much
better in my heart.
I took out my phone and called Mason. This time, it only rang once before the call got through
“Wandaly He called my name in surprise.
“Do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to dinner.”
He seemed surprised. “Okay,” he said after a pause. “Time and place?”
“I will send it to you!” I hung up and sent the time and place to Mason.
It was still early, so I went to the office first to settle some work backlogs first. When I looked at the
time, it was already four in the afternoon.
I turned to Heidi and said, “Help me get the divorce papers that the President’s assistant Keith sent
over previously.”
Back then, when Keith sent the papers a s per Theo’s order, I was furious and had asked Heidi to put it
away.
Heidi was stufined. She looked at me and said, “Wanda, you?” The dispute between the Grant family
and I had always been apparent. She was silent for a while before saying,” Wanda, are you agreeing to
the divorce? Have you forgotten your promise to Grandmother? Besides, the shares that are rightfully
yours can only be transferred to you after five years.”
Before Grandmother passed away, she
allocated a portion of the company’: shares to me. However, the prerequisit was that I had to be with
Theo for fivi years before the shares could be transferred to me. Thinking about it she was probably
afraid that I would not be able to hold on to my words and planned to leave
Although I knew Heidi was saying thi: for my own good, I could not explain it o her. I just said, “I have
my own plans You just need to go get the papers.”
Heidi was reluctant. In the end, she did not say anything and took out the papers. However, she still
spoke in reluctance, “Wanda, it is just anothe two more years. Now is not the best time to do this. You
should hold on for i while longer…”
I did not say anything. I put the folde into my bag, waved at Heidi, and stepped into the elevator.
She wanted to continue persuading met o change my mind, but the elevator doors had closed on her.
After leaving the company, I went to the place where I had arranged to meet Mason.
This was a high-end restaurant with a warm ambiance. It was very suitable for people like Mason.
I went straight to the table that I had reserved beforehand. Unexpectedly, Mason had already arrived.
He was dressed in black, which accentuated his well-defined facial features. His look attracted Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
attention from the people around him.
Sorry that I am late.” Embarrassed, I quickly pulled out a chair and sat down.
He raised his eyebrows and gave a rare smile. “I arrived early.”
When the waitress came to take our order, I pushed the menu toward him and smiled. “You are
especially gentle when you smile. You should smile more. Do not keep a straight face all the time.”
As Theo’s good friend, Mason was just like Theo and always had a cold expression as if trying to
distance himself from everyone
He reached over and pushed the menu back toward me, his smile widening, “I am not a playboy. Why
would I be smiling at anyone?”
Who knew he had humor in him. I could not help but giggle.
I ordered a few dishes that I thought he would enjoy.
He did not say anything else and just looked at me with a smile.
A little embarrassed, I cleared my throat. “Am I funny to you?”
He looked away and chuckled. ” Actually, you are the one who should be smiling more. You usually
looked too depressed. It puts the men off.”
I was stunned. No wonder Theo hated t
o see me.
