Chapter 8 Why Divorce?

As dawn broke,Eleanor woke up. She wasn't one to laze in bed and immediately called her lawyer to draft a divorce agreement.

Mr. Thomas was shocked when he heard that she wanted a divorce but didn't ask too many questions. He only asked about the details of the relevant divorce agreement,such as property distribution.

Such detailed provisions were best-drafted face-to-face,so Eleanor hesitated for a moment before asking,"Mr. Thomas,do you have time today?"

Mr. Thomas replied: "Yes."

Eleanor said: "Can you come over here and talk in detail with me?"

"Sure,I'll tidy up and head over," Mr. Thomas responded.

In addition to the divorce agreement,she also needed to explain her will to him.

Eleanor sent him her address and then sat at the dressing table. Even if she wasn't going out,she was used to putting on makeup so that her sickly face would look slightly more energetic.

Looking at herself brightly in the mirror,Eleanor smiled confidently; after today there would still be tomorrow.

Worried that Mr. Thomas hadn't eaten breakfast yet,Eleanor made two meals by hand just in case; right after nine o'clock rang the doorbell.

Eleanor took off her apron hanging it on the wall before opening the door for Mr.Thomas who had arrived.

"Ms.Stone."

"Come on in! Have you eaten?" Eleanor asked.

"I already ate," Mr.Thomas followed inside saying.

Upon hearing that Sebastian should receive most of The Stone Family's shares under his name from now on,Eleanor saw surprise flash across Mr.Thomas' eyes.

"Ms.Stone,you must consider this carefully. The Stone Family enterprise is your pre-marital property,and your husband does not enjoy it."

Having seen countless divorces fought over property division,this was his first time seeing someone willingly give up their pre-marital property.

Even if the other shareholders of The Stone Family agreed,John Stone would probably make a fuss if he found out that she had given away the entire company.

"I know,so I need to discuss my will with you next..." Eleanor hadn't finished her sentence when suddenly the doorbell rang. It was Sebastian.

Eleanor looked up at Sebastian and asked: "Why are you back?"

"Didn't you ask me to come back?" Sebastian grabbed onto the doorknob and pushed his way in forcefully. "What did your message last night mean?"

Eleanor was momentarily stunned but then sneered; it turned out that he came back because of the divorce. Look at him,just yesterday he insulted her for not wanting to come back,but as soon as he heard about the divorce,he rushed over without hesitation.

Hearing her ambiguous laughter,Sebastian furrowed his brows tightly and scanned around before seeing a pair of men's leather shoes beside the shoe rack.

"Do you have a new lover?"

"Sebastian,what nonsense are you talking about?"

Mr.Thomas walked out saying: "I am Ms.Stone's lawyer. I'm here today only to draft your divorce agreement with Ms.Stone.Mr.Hastings,wouldn't it be better for you to first discuss property division with Ms.Stone?"

"Divorce?" Sebastian was dumbfounded. "Why do we need a divorce?"
