Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

“When will you be free? Let’s submit our papers to court and get the divorce.” Selene said.

“What a boring process.”

For Clint, getting a divorce was boring, so he surely also considered their marriage boring. Or that’s what Selene thought, at least. “If you don’t have time to do it, I will go to court myself.” She continued.

“Up to you!”

Clint hung up angrily.

Selene stared at her phone and curled her lips.

Clint was also very strange. He did not agree to the divorce, yet he still went to Selene’s store himself to request suits to be made for him as if nothing happened.

Their relationship was the same as before: one was the storekeeper and the other the customer.

Clint picked the suit style that he wanted to be made. Before he could leave the store, Selene confronted him. “If you have time, we could go to court now to get that divorce. It’s better for both of us.”

“It’s not better for me,” Clint answered back without any expression.

“It’s more expensive to hire a lawyer to deal with the divorce.”

“Money is not really a problem for me.”

Selene finally became speechless.

Yes, he really had lots of money, so it was easier for him to ask a lawyer to deal with the case.

But of course, she also knew that he did this on purpose. He just did not want to get a divorce. He also did not want to get into trouble finding a new wife to give birth to his children.

Selene gave him trouble, and he was angry with her for it.

Selene also felt very helpless. She could not understand why he was up for getting married to her in a flash but was completely reluctant to also get a divorce on short notice.

Selene, however, already had an alternative solution in mind. She would go to court twice, and everything would become much easier.

In fact, she also felt a little disappointed because she would probably be losing a rich and loyal customer, even though she still had plenty of customers other than Clint. But that was alluding to the fact that she had made a lot of money off Clint’s patronage in recent years.

Shortly after Selene left the court and returned to her apartment, someone knocked at the door.

She looked through the peephole and saw that it was Joseph.

“What’s wrong? Did anything happen?” Selene asked coldly as she opened the door.

“May I come in?” Joseph threw up his hands in defeat.

Selene moved back and let him in.

“I heard that you divorced Clint Denovan,” Joseph said.

“You’re really well-informed.” Selene sneered, even though she was a little surprised.

“The lawyer, Matthew Ronald, was my roommate when I was in college. He unintentionally mentioned that he worked for Clint Denovan’s divorce case, and I found out from him that you got divorced from him today.”

“So you came here to mock me?” Selene smiled coldly.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Selene!” Joseph frowned and turned to look at her. “You know I’m not like that. I’m sorry for what I did, but surely you know it wasn’t for real, but only a trick. Nothing really happened between Jennifer and me.”

“Yes. And such a trick it was, you and Jennifer pranking me in order to humiliate me, which ended up with me having a one-night stand with Clint, which led to a brief marriage and divorce. My whole life is now a joke because of that ‘trick’.” Selene spat out with venom in her voice.

Joseph looked at her and sighed. After a while, he looked at her sincerely. “Selene, it’s all my fault. Now that you are single again, how about we start together again from zero? Let’s forget this ever happened, okay?”

“Pretend that nothing happened? I just got married and divorced within half a year. Do you even care about what happened?” Selene laughed at him.

“I don’t care at all.” Joseph continued. “Selene, we’re different from Clint and Jennifer. No matter what happened before, it’s behind us now.”

Selene went blank for a moment, walked over to the couch, and sat down. Finally, she sighed. “Yes, everything is over.” She looked at Joseph, who stood still and continued. “Yes, you’re right. We’re different from Clint and Jennifer.”

She paused for a few moments, then continued. ”Maybe I’m being foolish. I forgive you, Joseph. It wasn’t easy for you to work at SSGB, and Jennifer took advantage of you. To be honest, I was very surprised when you resigned from the company. You really earned my respect with that.”

“You probably thought that I would do anything for my career.” Joseph smiled with irony.

“Yes. And I still do.” Selene raised her eyebrows.

“I can’t deny that. I come from a poor family, and I was taken out alone to get through college. It’s not a surprise that I want to be successful, in spite of my background.” Joseph shrugged his shoulders.

“Yes, I can understand that. I wasn’t born into wealth either.” Selene nodded. “What have you been doing recently, job-wise?” She asked casually.

“I’m planning on starting my own business soon. I’ve accumulated enough experience and resources from SSGB. I’m ready now to do something on my own. Though recently I’ve not made much money, everything’s going smoothly.” Joseph said.

“Congratulations.”

Joseph smiled and asked. “What happened between you and Clint?”

“We had a one-night stand. He is handsome, rich, and… your boss. I had the opportunity to marry him on a whim, and I went for it. But it didn’t last long, as I’m sure you know.”

“I know little about his private life, but he seemed quite calculated at work. He doesn’t strike me as someone who’d get married on a whim after a one-night stand.”

“Do you think we got married because we fell in love? Just like you said, he is calculated, meaning that he doesn’t have much time for relationships. He’s also at an age where he should get married, so when the opportunity presented itself to him, he took it.”
