My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 98: Did You Get The Marriage Certificate 

As soon as Flynn agreed to the divorce, Reese wasted no time in heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him, lest he changed his mind.

A worried Wendy insisted on tagging along with them.

The Civil Affairs Bureau was crowded.

Numbers were issued to couples to be seated in the hall and await their turns. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The Civil Affairs Bureau was probably the best place to witness a display of love.

In the small waiting area, there were as many people waiting to register their marriages as there were those seeking a divorce.

Whilst the love birds were snuggling up to each other, the hawks were arguing crossly with each other, as if only by divorcing would they finally fly free.

Wendy observed them with mixed feelings.

She felt sick to the stomach witnessing such unloving behavior.

Ryan, noticing this, asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's just terrible here?" Ryan scowled.

Wendy whispered, "I believe that these couples who came here for a divorce today, once loved each other very much.But now it seems that they can't stand each other's guts.It simply means that true love does not last forever.At some stage it just fizzles out.It is devastating to see two people who loved each other so much, fight like cats and dogs in the end."

After thinking for a while, Ryan said, "It just proves that they never loved each other deeply enough in the first place."

Hearing that, Wendy shook her head.

"No! It only proves that their journey together will dampen their love as time goes by.In that case, it's better not to get married at all!"

With his brows furrowed, Ryan tried to offer her a piece of his wisdom.

"You are far too negative.Unmarried people know nothing about the intricacies of marriage.No one can guarantee whether they will be happy after marriage or not.Since there's a fifty- fifty chance that the coin can fall either way, the brave take a chance.We must be prepared to take risks in order to fulfil the happiness we dream of."

"Uh.Wendy was amazed by his philosophy.She didn't expect Ryan to dish out such logic and refute her argument.But she then realized that what he said was reasonable.There were more than a dozen couples ahead of Reese and Flynn who were in line for a marriage or divorce.

Looking at the long queue, it seemed that they would probably not be attended to before office hours were over.

Flynn shot a glance at Wendy and Ryan who were sitting in front of him, then whispered to Reese, "Hey, why don't we finalize the divorce tomorrow.The queue is so long today.We are just wasting our time here."

"No way!"

Reese immediately became vigilant, then she added, "Flynn, are you trying to go back on your word again?"

He surely wanted to go back on his word! But he didn't dare to.

However, he really wanted to delay it now.

He knew Reese very well.

Normally, she didn't question him and simply obeyed him.

This time, he had really gone too far.

He had taken his mistress to their marital home and demanded that Reese serve him and his woman.

That was the reason she was determined to divorce him.

He thought if he could buy some time, he would pamper Reese a little so that she would change her mind about the divorce.

And then, he wouldn't lose half of his property.

To him, giving up half of his property was more painful than cutting his flesh.

"Honey..."

"No way! I have to get the divorce certificate today! It doesn't matter how long I have to wait in line here!"

Hearing that, Flynn gritted his teeth angrily.But he didn't dare lose his temper because of Ryan's presence.

He looked at her scornfully and suppressed all his hatred.

‘’Good! Great! You have someone to back you up now, huh! The CEO of the Oliver Group has a crush on your sister.So you think you can be arrogant in front of me.That's okay! I'd like to see how long his interest in Wendy lasts.When he gets tired of her, I'll kill you two little bitches!’’

"I'm going out to make a phone call."

"Okay."Noticing the change in Wendy's expression, Ryan was afraid that she was having further negative thoughts, so he didn't want to stay at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

‘’lf Wendy loses interest in marriage after seeing these quarrelling couples, then I'll be the loser.’’ After a brief contemplation, he called Luke pronto.

"Luke, contact the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau and tell him that I'm here now."

Luke was surprised by his words and asked, "Ryan! Did you charm Wendy into agreeing to marry you?"

Ryan was speechless.

‘‘Is she a person to be charmed so easily?’’

"Cut the crap!"

"Okay, I see!"

The director of the Civil Affairs Bureau came up in less than ten minutes.He was surprised to see Ryan.

"Hello, are you Mr.Ryan?" Ryan nodded.

"Mr.Ryan, what can I do for you?" the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau asked respectfully.

Although Ryan was just a business man, his father, Anson, was an esteemed soldier.

His former comrades in arms all held important posts in the army.

Moreover, the Oliver Group was powerful.

Officials and elites of Ywood and the central government treated the family with utmost respect and dignity.

After all, the Oliver Group directly affected their career.

"One of my friends wants a divorce."

The director of the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately understood what Ryan meant.

He said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to facilitate the formalities right away!"

Being powerful had its many perks.

With the director's help, Reese and Flynn could jump the queue and did not need to answer a series of questions pertaining to their divorce.

After confirming ownership of the property, the staff immediately issued a divorce certificate to each of them.

Armed with the divorce certificate, Reece's eyes brightened.

Finally, she was free from the clutches of that terrible marriage! She had spent too many hours thinking that she would never be able to escape that bitter life.

"Wendy..."

"What?"

"Thank you!"

Reese sobbed and held Wendy's hand tightly.

"If it weren't for you, I would still be stuck in a horrible marriage today!"

The two sisters hugged each other lovingly.Reese had to go back to pack her things, so Ryan drove back to the Palmtree Community.But this time, it was not Reese who left.

"Mom!"

Flynn opened the door and walked into the living room.

His mother sat on the sofa with a long face.

He asked her, "Have you packed your things?"

His mother shook her head dejectedly.

"It's not that easy.We have lived here for so many years..."

Unwilling to give up, she walked up to Flynn and asked repeatedly, "Flynn, did you really leave the house to Reese?"

Flynn nodded.

He saw the tears welling up in his mother's eyes.

"Mom, don't say anything more.Pack up only your valuable things.Leave the rest behind."

Ryan's aura was too powerful.Even Flynn, who was standing beside him, felt stressed.

He was careful not to say or do anything that might result in him losing any more property.

"Mom, hurry up."

‘‘Something valuable?’’ His mother repeated it inwardly.

The most valuable thing was this house.

She wanted it as badly as she needed to breathe.

Thinking of this, she glared at Reese.

Reese stood expressionless.

She felt at ease to get half of Flynn's property.

She had dedicated eleven years of her life to this marriage.

He had stolen her youth and more.

Those eleven years were traumatic.

He was the husband from hell.

Every night he was out on the town with random women.

Furthermore, he was cold towards her.

He abused her and beat her up violently.

She deserved these properties as compensation.

Flynn's mother packed up her things quickly and then left with Flynn reluctantly.

Before leaving, Flynn squinted at Reese.

Damn you! Just wait and see.It's not easy to keep my money.The games have just begun!
