Chapter 593 I Didn’t See You at Home

When I woke up in the morning, I received a message from Diego. He said that Christopher had goneto Finland and that Emma had gone on strike this morning. She said she wouldn't be back to work untilat least the afternoon.

Emma and Christopher had just gotten married, so it was understandable that she wanted to spendmore time with her husband. Diego wouldn't understand this kind of attachment that a young lady hadfor her husband, but I did.

I was equally clingy to Shawn. I knew what it felt like to like someone so much that you never wanted tobe apart from them.

So, I didn't respond to Diego's pointless messages, but he persisted and sent me another message atnoon. 'Why aren't you responding? I wanted to let you vent about her together.'

Seeing that, I replied with one word, 'Childish.'

'Okay, okay. Now that you're Mrs. Xenos, I won't dare to refute, even if you call me childish!' He sentme a childish reply.

After that, I stopped replying to him.

In the afternoon, Ian contacted me and said, "Ree, let's meet up."

It felt good for him to address me as 'Ree'. Without hesitation, I agreed. "Okay. Send me the address."

"I'm at the office. Let's meet at the café downstairs."

When I arrived, Ian was still working at the office, so I went to the café he mentioned and ordered aglass of juice. Just as the waiter brought it to me, Ian arrived.

He familiarly ordered a coffee and sat down across from me, placing a document in front of me.Confused, I looked at him and saw that his eyes were red, and he appeared to be exhausted.

"What is this?" I asked curiously.

"A divorce agreement that Serene gave me last night."

I was surprised to hear that. "So soon?"

He had been saying that he wanted to divorce for so long, but he still didn't do it. However, Serene haddirectly given him the divorce agreement last night.

"Why are you showing me this?" I asked as I flipped through the document. Then, I continued, "Isn'tthis what you've been dreaming of?"

"It is," he replied, looking dazed.

After I flipped through the pages, I noticed that he had not signed the last page. Instantly, I understoodwhat had happened and asked, "You’re regretting this?"

Ian shook his head and then nodded, apparently confused. "I'm not sure. I thought I understood her.But, lo and behold, the person who understands her the least is me. When I saw her pretending to bealoof and casual last night, I felt upset deep down. I suddenly remembered when I first met her.Although she was rejected by her siblings, she was born into a wealthy family, after all, so she wasegotistical. But when she was slandered and misunderstood by me, she didn't bother explaining. Shejust gave me the divorce agreement last night and said she had never done me wrong. Now I…" Aftera pause, he continued, "Ree, I'm so confused." Whan I woka up in tha morning, I racaivad a massaga from Diago. Ha said that Christophar had gonato Finland and that Emma had gona on strika this morning. Sha said sha wouldn't ba back to work untilat laast tha aftarnoon.

Emma and Christophar had just gottan marriad, so it was undarstandabla that sha wantad to spandmora tima with har husband. Diago wouldn't undarstand this kind of attachmant that a young lady hadfor har husband, but I did.

I was aqually clingy to Shawn. I knaw what it falt lika to lika somaona so much that you navar wantad toba apart from tham.

So, I didn't raspond to Diago's pointlass massagas, but ha parsistad and sant ma anothar massaga atnoon. 'Why aran't you rasponding? I wantad to lat you vant about har togathar.'

Saaing that, I rapliad with ona word, 'Childish.'

'Okay, okay. Now that you'ra Mrs. Xanos, I won't dara to rafuta, avan if you call ma childish!' Ha santma a childish raply.

Aftar that, I stoppad raplying to him.

In tha aftarnoon, Ian contactad ma and said, "Raa, lat's maat up."

It falt good for him to addrass ma as 'Raa'. Without hasitation, I agraad. "Okay. Sand ma tha addrass."

"I'm at tha offica. Lat's maat at tha café downstairs."

Whan I arrivad, Ian was still working at tha offica, so I want to tha café ha mantionad and ordarad aglass of juica. Just as tha waitar brought it to ma, Ian arrivad.

Ha familiarly ordarad a coffaa and sat down across from ma, placing a documant in front of ma.Confusad, I lookad at him and saw that his ayas wara rad, and ha appaarad to ba axhaustad.

"What is this?" I askad curiously.

"A divorca agraamant that Sarana gava ma last night."

I was surprisad to haar that. "So soon?"

Ha had baan saying that ha wantad to divorca for so long, but ha still didn't do it. Howavar, Sarana haddiractly givan him tha divorca agraamant last night.

"Why ara you showing ma this?" I askad as I flippad through tha documant. Than, I continuad, "Isn'tthis what you'va baan draaming of?"

"It is," ha rapliad, looking dazad.

Aftar I flippad through tha pagas, I noticad that ha had not signad tha last paga. Instantly, I undarstoodwhat had happanad and askad, "You’ra ragratting this?"

Ian shook his haad and than noddad, apparantly confusad. "I'm not sura. I thought I undarstood har.But, lo and bahold, tha parson who undarstands har tha laast is ma. Whan I saw har pratanding to baaloof and casual last night, I falt upsat daap down. I suddanly ramambarad whan I first mat har.Although sha was rajactad by har siblings, sha was born into a waalthy family, aftar all, so sha wasagotistical. But whan sha was slandarad and misundarstood by ma, sha didn't bothar axplaining. Shajust gava ma tha divorca agraamant last night and said sha had navar dona ma wrong. Now I…" Aftara pausa, ha continuad, "Raa, I'm so confusad."

So, he came to me to seek comfort and advice. "You're suffering, so you want to talk to me?"

"I have no one to confide in here. Diego will only mock me; Emma is too young, and the others… Thereare some things that I can't figure out myself, so I can only talk to you, Ree."

His calling me 'Ree' made my heart flutter, and I naturally felt closer to him and was happy to comforthim. "You don't want a divorce," I said.

"Please tell me why."

"Amy is… You should know that she has a boyfriend and has completely let go of you. Besides, you putpressure on yourself. You know that even if you get a divorce, your mother will still be an obstacle foryou two. So, you are very confused about being with her. For these two reasons, you know that youcan't have her anymore. At this time, you thought of Serene. You previously wanted to get a divorce sobadly, but you couldn't. Now that it's easy to get one, you suddenly feel a sense of loss."

Hearing that, he sighed. "You understand my situation very well, Ree. I do feel a sense of loss, but it'snot because Eve chose someone else, and I didn't just think of Serene because I lost Eve. I've knownSerene for many years, and she has actually influenced me unconsciously, but it's not about love."

"You don't want to let go of Serene, do you?"

In response, he asked, "Do I not want to?"

"Yes. Your eyes tell me that you don't want to let her go. It's just that you're not sure what kind offeelings you have for her. You just think that pursuing a romantic relationship with her seems toocomplicated."

Ian had become interested in Serene, but he was unsure if it was love. However, only he himself couldknow that for sure.

At this moment, the waiter brought over his coffee. After taking a sip, he said slowly, "I'm very confusedright now, but one thing is clear to me—I can't sign this divorce agreement. At least, not right now. Ineed to figure out my true feelings first."

Ian was different from Nicholas and Rudy. He wouldn't sign the divorce agreement immediately uponreceiving it from his wife. He knew that as long as he didn't sign it, there was still a chance to turnthings around. In this regard, he was smarter than the other two men.

Moreover, he wouldn't torture Serene. I could tell that he respected her because he said that she was aproud person. He acknowledged her pride, which showed that he respected her for standing herground.

"We meet many, many people in this world, Ian. She could become your wife because the two of youare destined to be together. You can try to understand her more deeply, and perhaps she is the personyou want to spend the rest of your life with. As for Amy… Both of you need to let go of the past andpursue happiness. She has already done it, and now it's up to you. "

He understood what I meant. "So, you're advising me to let go of Eve. The person she found must beexcellent, so excellent that you're convinced she won't leave him. And I'll never be able to…"

However, I shook my head. "That's not what I meant. I'm not really concerned about how Amy will endup because she knows what she wants. But you, Ian, considering the fact that we’re on a first-namebasis, I sincerely hope that you will be happy. And I saw Serene last night. She's a woman whoshouldn't be taken for granted."

When he heard that, he smiled. "You really like Serene."

"I can't say that I like her because I only met her once, and we're not very close with each other. But Ithink she has a certain aura."

Subconsciously, he asked, "Aura?"

"Yes. She's a lovely and elegant woman, and even that picky Diego holds her in high regard. He rarelymakes mistakes when it comes to judging women."

Instantly, his face turned disgruntled. "He's interested in her?"

"Well, because you see her every day, you don't notice her beauty. Diego is just drawing an objectiveconclusion."

At this moment, Ian became silent.

Toward the end of the conversation, Ian became unhappy with Diego. I couldn't help but sigh silently,feeling sorry for Diego. Just as I was thinking of an excuse to leave, Shawn called me.

I answered the phone and called out, "Hello, Sunny."

"Hello. Where are you?"

"I'm in the city. Why?"

"I didn't see you at home," he replied in his deep voice.

"You're already back home?" I quickly stood up and told Ian, "Ian, let's catch up another time. Oh, anddon't tell Diego that you met me."

Upon hearing this, Shawn on the other end of the phone asked, "Ian is there too?"

"Yeah. I'm just downstairs from your office."

"Wait for me there then, Ray. I'll come to pick you up."

"Okay. Where should I wait for you?" I asked, feeling foolish for asking such a question.

Then, he asked in a gentle tone, "Where exactly are you now?"

"I'm at a café near your office."

"Okay. Just wait for me there," he said.
