Chapter 1614: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (87)
Right now, Mo Hai only felt like a great joke.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Mo Zhi. At the same time, he wavered and was at a loss as to how he should manage this son of his.
Even though the boy was foolish and had even tried to kill him, weren’t all parents in the world forever tolerant and forgiving towards their own children?
What Mo Zhi had done could easily be qualified as premeditated murder and, if he called the police, Mo Zhi would surely spend the rest of his life in jail.
Although he detested Mo Zhi, and although at this point he couldn’t hate the boy more, Mo Hai still did not like going to the extreme.
The affection that had developed from watching the boy grow up wasn’t something that he could just ignore.
Hence with a wave of his hand, Mo Hai said, “Take him away and lock him up in the servant’s quarters. He is not to come out without my permission!”
“Yes, Sir.”
The butler answered and then turned around to seize Mo Zhi. They then took him out by force.
Instantly, he was alone now in the study.
Mo Hai lowered his head and stared at the divorce document.
He sat down, feeling irritable and suddenly extremely helpless.
He held up the crumpled divorce document that Mo Zhi had gripped before and read the content again. At this point, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the call and heard Li Shu’s voice on the other end. She asked, “Have you signed the divorce papers?
His gaze fell on the document as he replied, “Yes, I’ve signed it.”
“Ok, I’ll arrange for my lawyer to pick it up from you.”
“No,” Mo Hai answered. “I’ll bring it over to you.”
Li Shu replied in an icy tone, “I wouldn’t want to trouble you, I—”
“Li Shu,” Mo Hai interrupted her, “even if we’re going to divorce, can’t we do it calmly, sit down and discuss it? Don’t tell me that you’re going to avoid me forever?”
Li Shu stopped and paused. Then she said, “Ok, come over tonight then.”
“Ok.”
Mo Hai got to his feet after hanging up. Holding the divorce document, he walked around the room once and, eventually, walked out.
It was morning still, there was some time to go till the evening.
Especially when Mo Zhi, who had been locked up in the servant’s quarter, was shouting and yelling so much that it became exhausting to listen to.
Mo Hai decided to leave the house. He got into the car and drove to Mo Xicheng’s villa.
He stopped the car by the road outside the villa grounds and lit a cigarette. He drew in a deep puff that irritated his throat and made him choke.
He coughed violently till his face turned red. Then his eyes started to burn as well, filled with tears.
But instead of crying, he forced his tears back.
A fifty-year-old man crying?
How embarrassing was that?
As he told himself this, he calmed himself down.
He turned to look at the divorce agreement on the front passenger seat, and then looked ahead again at the front door of the villa, as though he was able to see Li Shu through the shut door.
Waiting there somehow brought him a sense of calmness.
At this thought, the front door suddenly swung open. Following this, he saw Li Shu approaching the car.
She took one graceful step at a time and oddly, he recalled a time in their youth.
