Chapter 187
Over the weekend, Moira felt uneasy, worrying that Conrad might disappear again like before. On Sunday morning, she hesitated whether to call him to remind him that tomorrow was Monday.
She definitely didn’t want to go to his office to find him again
Moira opened her contact list, found the name Virgil, and felt a bit dazed. just as she was about to dul, her phone rang
When she saw the name Virgil on the bright screen, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She immediately picked up the call.
She didn’t speak, waiting for the other side to start
But the other side remained silent, making her doubt if the call had been dialed by mistake.
“Conrad“”
Conrad hummed softly before saying, “Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.
Moira only wanted a divorce now and didn’t want any further contact with Conrad. She was about to refuse but then wondered why he suddenly wanted to have dinner with her.
It might be about the divorce.
If so, this should be a breakup dinner
Thinking of this possibility, a faint, indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. She unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone and softly said, Alright,
11 pick you up tonight.”
Moira responded in a low voice, “Okay”
After hanging up, she stood there holding her phone for a long while until the room door was opened from the ourside, Zea came in and said, “Moira, I have something to do this afternoon. You don’t have in prepare my dinner. I won’t come back for it”
“Okay.”
Zea grabbed her LV bag and hurried out.
Moira put her phone on the nightstand and went to the bathroom to splash cold water on her face. She looked at her dazed reflection in the mirror, her lips slowly tightening.
She had thought that if he agreed to the divorce, she would feel relieved. But it seemed that wasn’t the case
In the afternoon
Moira didn’t take a nap. Instead, she did ber makeup meticulously and curling iron to slightly curl the ends.

It was rare for her to groom herself so formally. She kept checking herself in the mirror, feeling satisfied with how she looked.
At five, Conrad called her.
Before leaving. Moira checked herself in the mirror again, reapplied her lipstick, and then went downstairs.
Conrad had parked the car outside the apartment building. As soon as Moira stepped out, she saw a tall, stern man standing by the car, holding a lit cigarette.
His brows furrowed as he puffed on it. When he saw her, he quickly put our the cigarette and tossed it in the trash before opening the passenger door for her.
After Moira got in, he closed the door and went around to the driver’s side.
The car drove out of the neighborhood, and neither of them spoke along the way,
Moira gazed out the window at the bustling traffic, memories of their time together flashing in her mind. Naturally, she missed it.
However, they had already come this far. It was too late to regret it now.
Chapter 187
Conrad drove to Carmen’s Kitchen.
It was the place where they had both registered their marriage and now seemed to be the place where they would discuss their divorce.
Certain this was a breakup dinner, Moira insisted they dine in the main hall instead of a private room.
It was peak dining time, and the hall was crowded and filled with chatter. Moira and Conrad chose a seat by the glass wall. Once seated, the waiter brought the menus.
They each silently chose their dishes without speaking to each other.
After the waiter left, Moirs took a sip of water and finally spoke, “Why did you ask me to dinner?”
Conrad removed his jacket and draped it over the chair next to him, saying indifferently. “Let’s talk after we cat”
Moira agreed, thinking discussing the divorce before eating might ruin the meal.
They remained silent until both had finished eating.
Moira thought it was time to talk about the divorce, but Conrad called the waiter to settle the bill instead.
Moira watched as he paid, then picked up his jacket and stood up, saying, “Let’s go
“Aren’t we going to discuss the divorce? Moira was a bit confused, but seeing the man step out,
she hurriedly followed him.
Once in the car, Moira assumed they would talk there, but Conrad started the engine and drove onto the road.
“Um… The civil affairs office is closed today! Moira reminded
Even if it were open, it would have chased by now.
Conrad glanced at her with his deep eyes and said coldly. “I know”
Moira was puzzled. “So, where are we going?”
This wasn’t the direction to Zea’s place either,
“I’m taking you somewhere.
Moira wanted to ask where exactly, but seeing his unwillingness to engage, she swallowed her words,
After all, he wasn’t going to sell her off or anything. There was nothing to worry about.
Moira continued to look out the window at the scenery
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of Sunridge.
