Love’s Second Act by Alvis Midden

Chapter 4 

The divorce agreement was sent to Natalie in no time. 

After receiving the faxed document, Natalie signed her name without a second thought, and then brought it downstairs to look for Calvin. 

Unfortunately. Calvin was nowhere to be seen. The servant informed her that the man had left soon after she went upstairs; 

Achilling sensation washed over Natalie, for she could not wait any longer. She had to divorce Calvin today: 

Natalie faxed the agreement to his office, and upon seeing the words “Divorce Agreement, the secretary stammered, “M- Mrs. Jetfords, Mr. Jeffords hasn’t arrived at the office yet” 

“Once he arrives, get him to sign it immediately, then tell him to come to City Hall with it.” 

“Uh.. Yes, mam!” 

Even through the phone, Natalie could tell that the secretary was breaking into a cold sweat. She hung up and headed upstairs to change into a new set of clothes. 

She spent some time checking herself out in the mirror, thinking. How beautiful, but no matter how pretty a woman is, she can never stop a cheating man! 

After all, the grass is forever greener on the other side 

After estimating the time, she drove to City Hall and waited for two whole hours, but even as the staff there was about to knockoff, Calvin was still nowhere to be seen. 

Natalie took out her phone and video-called Calvin. 

Only at the last few rings did the call finally connect, and judging by the background, she knew that he was still in the 

conference room. 

Without sparing any concern for his feelings, Natalie went straight to the point. Tve been waiting for you at City Hall for two hours Are you dissatisfied with the divorce terms?” 

On the other end of the line, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense, and everyone fixed their gaze upon Calvin, who sat at the far end of the long conference table with a grave expression. 

Mrs. Jeffords wants a divorce? And she’s even asking to split their assets?” was their thought. 

However, they only dared steal a peek and rapidly lowered their heads, feigning ignorance upon seeing Calvin’s eyes darken 

Sull, this news was a truly mind-blowing one, leaving a deep impression on those who had heard it. 

Calvin stood up and loosened his ur rather irritably “Take a break for half an hour.” 

He appeared as if he was about to confront Natalie furiously 

Everyone watched in stunned. une as Calen leh the conderente suom. As soon as he was gone, the room erupted with Mutiun Mrs Jeffords actually asked for a divorce?”

Chapter 4 

“Natalie Walcott Calvin gritted his teeth. 

Unfazed, Natalie replied, “Or should I bring the staff of City Hall to your office?” 

She might actually consider doing that as long as he was not afraid of being cribarrassed. However, in truth, Calvin already felt utterly humiliated when everyone heard the news girlier. 

Calvin sneered, “Ten minutes 

“All right. I’ve brought the birth certificate with me.” 

Calvin was struck dumb. 

Meanwhile, Natalie hung up the video call in satisfaction. 

57% 

Calvin watched his phone screen grow dim and in the next second, he hurled it against the wall. Even his exquisite face could not suppress his look of sheer rage. 

He had never anticipated Natalie’s request for a divorce. To his dismay, Natalie, who he assumed was not fully awake when she attempted to create a scene in the morning was still stirring up trouble now 

“How dare that woman he fumed to himself. 

Concurrently, Natalie clutched the birth certificate, looking determined to go through with the divorce. 

When Calvin arrived at City Hall, he immediately spotted it in her hand, and his fury shot through the roof. 

His initially well-defined facial features scrunched up with rage from the provocation. 

From early morning till now, he had practically been constantly infuriated. 

Natalie watched Calvin get out of the car as if she was seeing a stranger. However, in the next moment, the man who she thought would go inside with her to get a divorce lifted her onto his shoulder like a sandbag instead. 

Hey you-“With a thud, the birth certificate fell to the ground, and its flimsy cover split into two 

She then found herself being thrown into the vehicle 

“Calvin Jeffords, you shameless jerk!” Natalie tugged at the door handle to try to get out, but it was already locked.. 

Frigidly_ Calvin yanked her ankles and pressed her down on the hack seat. In the meantime, upon witnessing this, the driver hurnedly exited the automobile in fear 

Tet go of me, you Ouch! It hurts!” Natalie fought to free herself, but the grip under her jaw left her goping in pam, struggling to breathe
