The matter was casually brushed aside like this, and the brothers tacitly agreed not to mention Aliana anymore, only waiting for the moment when she couldn’t resist coming back, so they could mock her properly.
As time passed day by day, three days, one week, two weeks, and even a month went by, and she never appeared again.
Everyone watched as his face grew darker day by day, and they kept talking about other things to divert his attention. Aurora also stayed by his side every day, taking care of him with great thoughtfulness, making others envious.
Only the person who was taken care of, clearly received positive feedback from their long–awaited crush, but their mind was full of thoughts about Aliana, and there was no sign of happiness at all
He went from being confident at the beginning to hesitating later on, until almost a month later when he was about to be discharged from the hospital, she still hadn’t come to see him, and a hint of self–doubt inexplicably arose in his heart.
Did she really give up on herself? But how is that possible?
Just then, the long–silent phone finally rang. He acted faster than his mind, quickly picking up the call, and suddenly felt a wave of relief.
“Aliana, did you still remember to call me?”
Upon hearing this name, the group of brothers and Aurora’s attention was immediately drawn to Sean, who was on the phone. They saw in the next second that the slightly joyful expression that had just appeared on his face instantly faded away.
A group of people looked at each other, you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what had happened.
“Mr. Castaneda,” Billy’s weak voice came from the other end of the phone, and everyone finally realized that the person calling was not Aliana. No wonder his expression was so grim.
On the other end of the phone, Billy, unaware of the situation here, calmly relayed all the information she had found, “Ms. Dunlap did receive a genuine divorce certificate. Regarding the divorce settlement, the lawyer explained that they had sought your consent initially, and you personally agreed that it could be signed by your wife.”
“Bullshit!” Sean heard Billy say that he agreed to let Aliana sign the divorce settlement on his behalf. He immediately became furious and couldn’t hold back, and he directly cursed, which scared Billy so much that they dared not speak again, “When did I agree…”
