“Ex-wife?!” Vicky silently mouthed as she slammed her fist onto the table, causing the steaming hot tea to spill onto the table.
The scalding liquid grazed her hand, leaving a reddened patch on her fair and delicate palm.
“Are you okay?” The man quickly stood up.
At the same time, a voice unfamiliar to Vicky, that of a middle-aged man, sounded from the listening device.
“We all know that Tyler used to be married. The reason we’re here today is to show that we are willing to accept his past. What I want to know is… When will your side of the matter be settled?”
“Yes.” The voice of an unfamiliar middle-aged woman chimed in, “When will this marriage finally end?”
“Soon. Tyler has already drafted the divorce agreement,” Orion said.
“That woman is nothing more than a jumped-up nobody. How could she ever compare to my boy? Don’t worry, this marriage will definitely be over in the near future,” Valencia added.
Still, there seemed to be lingering doubt from the other side. “Aurora can’t be with Tyler indefinitely only to be labeled as the homewrecker in the end, right? We need to know a
precise timeline so we can prepare ourselves.”
Orion chuckled. “At the latest, it will be finalized this month. Any qualms?”
“Are you certain?” The other side questioned.
Valencia spoke up, “Tyler, you did agree to go through with it, didn’t you?”
After a few seconds of silence, a cold and deep voice came through the device. “Yes.”
Before this moment, if there was still a glimmer of hope lingering in Vicky’s heart regarding Tyler, it had now completely extinguished after that simple confirmation.
‘He admitted it,’ Vicky thought. ‘He didn’t even hesitate. He really admitted it.’
Vicky suddenly felt like a fool; a complete and utter joke.
He had already started meeting potential matches, yet she was unwilling to believe he would stoop to such actions. She had even held a slight expectation for him.
At that moment, the man next to her pressed the button, summoning a waiter with a first aid kit. The waiter quickly arrived, bringing back the kit in just a matter of minutes.
“You burned yourself,” the man said. “It needs to be bandaged to prevent an infection.”
Vicky remained dazed and oblivious to her scalding wound. Her gaze was fixated on the listening device as the sounds of laughter and conversation buzzed.
The young lady’s father said, “Aurora honey, why are you sitting so far away? Come sit next to Tyler.”
“Pour another glass of wine for Mister and Missus Hart,” the mother said.
Judging from the conversation so far, it became clear to her that it was an official meeting for the two families that planned to be united through marriage.
When Vicky failed to respond, the man next to her sighed and opened the first aid kit to tend to her hand.
Orion and Valencia did not stay for long and excused themselves soon after; so did the young lady’s parents.
Anyone could tell that they were merely trying to give Tyler and the young lady time to spend alone.
Once the parents left, the atmosphere of the room fell silent.
Sometime later, Aurora spoke up sheepishly, “Mister Hart, what would you like to eat? Let’s order something, shall we?”
“Sure,” Tyler responded coldly.
Aurora called the waiter in to order a few dishes.
