Regretting Divorce

Chapter 28 

“Hello,” His voice made her heartbeat go mad. 

Claire pressed a hand to her chest. She drew the phone away from her car and turned her face to take deep breaths. Her breaths were uneven just from hearing his voice. 

“You don’t have to do it, Claire. That man is a mother fucker. Don’t take his call,” 

She could hear Scott’s words ringing in her ears. Those words he said before she defied him and everyone else to come down to the garden to talk to him. 

“So you remember me. Claire said, intending for her words to come out mocking but she hated herself for how weak it sounded. 

Hunter didn’t reply. She heard his breathing on the phone, His breathing. One of the best sounds in the world. 

“How come you remember my number, Hunter? I thought you deleted it long back when I signed the divorce papers.” She spoke again as he remained silent. 

P 

So typical of him. She never liked his silent side. It irked her. 

“Do have something that is of importance to you?” She gulped a knot down her throat before saying that. 

By something of importance, she meant their baby. Still, deep within, she hoped for him to have discovered about their baby through the hospital. He was the richest man in Bloomeres, wasn’t he? It wasn’t anything big for him. 

“How are you?” Claire’s eyes burned with tears, hearing it from him. 

“Not dead. If that’s what you have not wanted to hear then I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m still alive and breathing 

“Claire,” He sighed. 

She hated it. Couldn’t he say more? They were talking after a week after all. 

“I’m listening, Hunter.” 

She swept a gaze across from her. The air was freezing her skin and the warmth from the sun was bathing her with golden light. She watched birds fly overhead as the flowers danced with the cold autumn winds. 

Her heart wasn’t beating fast anymore. It allowed her to pull the hand she had on her chest and stare at it. She admired the ring on her finger. Her wedding ring. 

It was still there. Even if she signed the divorce papers and left, she still had it 

She was looking at it with a longing gaze when he spoke again. 

1. on. 

“I was thinking that we should complete the process of divorce. The papers are signed. There’s no need to drag it. We have already parted. So why don’t we go to the city hall tomorrow and receive our divorce certificate. His words made an intense current run up her spine that left her eyes wide and lifeless. 

She felt a punch lodge itself in her stomach. Her throat was tight and eyes dizzy. Suddenly she couldn’t breathe. Her phone slipped out of her hold and skidded on the grassy bed beside her left foot. 

Since her legs lost the energy from hearing those words, she came crashing down. However, two strong arms held her. She was helped back on her feet as a warm hand snaked her shoulders.

“TIL….. T’II… Call me if you need me.” Her voice was a whisper. 

Claire sagged down as the weight of pain and guilt burdened her shoulders. She curled on the floor, feeling a knife, id despair slicing through her heart. 

“How could you, Hunter? How???” She hollered as she clutched her stomach tight 

The whole night she remained locked in her room. She didn’t jul to her mother’s offer for food or her company Claire stayed on the floor, looking at the front of the bed. 

She had stopped crying but the pain in her chest was inevitable, 

When the clock chimed at eight in the morning, she got up and entered the washroom. Taking a bath like a lifeless body, she wore new clothes. Drying her hair, she stared at her reflection in the mirror. 

The woman she saw looked sick. Her lips matched the color of 

cheeks. Her eyes were trd. 

Since Claire didn’t want Hunter to see her like this- see how badly their divorce was damaging her, chipping life out of her body bit by bit she dusted her cheeks with blush and light highlighter. She wore a lip gloss matching the color of her natural lips, so they will look lively like before, 

She curled the tips of her hazelnut brown hair. She gave a once over to her election in the mirror before taking and phone. 

Luckily, the massive living hall of Argent Mansion was embraced by silence when she came down. She was relieved as she was not in the condition to meet anyone at this point, What she was going to do was going to break her completely, Claire didn’t want anyone from her family to interrupt her before she left. 

Their faces would only break her before the deed was done. 

She hailed a cab and came to City Hall by 8.45 am. Her eyes enlarged as she froze in her tracks. Hunter was already present. But he was not alone. Zara was standing beside him by his car. 

While he was leaning against the door, looking at his phone, Zar was pressed to his side as if she was a merk teenager afraid of crowds. She was the first person to notice Claire, and instantly a cunning smirk unfolded on her lips.

Claire looking in their direction, she stuck closer to Hunter and said, “I’m feeling cold, Hunter.”“ 

Claire scoffed and rolled her eyes. The morning was quite warm compared to other days since autumn began. 

“Here, take my coat.” He wrapped it around Zara’s frame while Claire stared at him with hard eyes. 

As if he breathed her presence in the air, his head shot up and his eyes locked with hers, causing the world around them to 

stop.
