Right now, he sounded especially anxious, even a bit furious, as he said, “Where did you run off to? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home?”
As I listened to him, a faint smile appeared on my face and I said, “Stanley, I already told you, I want a divorce!”
“Selene, what nonsense are you saying? Didn’t I already say we’re not divorcing and you agreed?” On the other end, Stanley’s voice was anxious and even gloomy.
I replied coldly, “Stanley, I’m not crazy! chose to divorce you. I’ll have a lawyer handle this!”
“Also, I will leave with nothing. I won’t fight you for the property!” After saying this, I was ready to hang up.
But on the other end, Stanley refused to give in. He even roared almost crazily, “Selene, tell me where you are!”
“You... come back right now!”
I ignored him and hung up the call, then directly blocked his number.
At the same time, I called a lawyer I knew. I told him he could now send the divorce agreement I had commissioned to Stanley. I also entrusted him fully to handle the matter.
The lawyer quickly replied, "I'll carry out everything according to what we had discussed."
After completing all this, I finally let out a genuine sigh of relief. Then, I got up and hurried to the village’s convent hall.
That was the place where my grandmother used to stay. After her death, I had not come here for a long time.
Inside the hall, I found her old prayer beads and some other belongings.
After carefully keeping them, I finally felt truly at ease. If Stanley brought Xenia here, I no longer needed to fear them.
When I went back home, I continued sleeping. Without those annoying calls, I slept unusually soundly.
Early the next morning, when I woke up, my cousin brought me food and told me Stanley had called him to ask if I had come back.
“Brian, how did you answer?” I asked curiously.
Hearing that, I nodded and did not dwell on it anymore. Besides, as long as I was in the village, I was safe.
Ever since I graduated from university, I have not lived in my hometown for a long time. Now that I had returned, I felt especially at ease.
However, I did not expect that a few days later, the lawyer called me and told me that Stanley refused to divorce and even demanded that I had to return home before I could divorce him.
“Then let’s just drag it out!” I said, after listening to what the lawyer said.
I knew Stanley was so anxious because of Xenia.
