Sir, Please Sign Here to Get a Divorce-Chapter 37: An Inexplicable Warning

It wasn’t that Ethan Yardley had never thought about divorcing Serena Yardley.

But when he handed her the Divorce Agreement and saw her break down in despair, how could he bear to go through with it?

Supporting Sylvia Schuyler, he said, "Let me take you home first."

He didn’t want to talk about the divorce right now.

But Sylvia Schuyler relentlessly clung to the topic. "And where will you take me? Are you just going to send me away so you can go back to being all lovey-dovey with Serena Yardley?

Ethan, you can’t be so cruel to me. You’re the one who did this to me. How can you just cast me aside to love someone else?"

"Ethan, you’re all I have now. If you push me away too, what reason is there for me to go on living?"

She was threatening him with her own death.

Ethan Yardley felt a headache coming on. In a heavy voice, he said, "I’ll take you home first. From now on, I’ll do my best to come and spend time with you, but you can’t live here."

He had promised Serena he wouldn’t let Sylvia Schuyler into this house again.

Sylvia Schuyler lifted her eyes to meet his gaze, her face streaked with tears. "Then you have to come back to our home every day after work."

He had no choice now but to agree. "Okay."

Seeing she had gotten her way, Sylvia Schuyler quickly raised her hands and wrapped them around his neck. "My foot hurts. Carry me back."

Ethan Yardley reluctantly picked her up, turned, and walked away from the home he shared with Serena Yardley.

In reality, Serena Yardley hadn’t gone inside the house at all.

She stood behind the wall next to the iron gate, listening to the entire conversation between her husband and Sylvia Schuyler.

When she saw him carry Sylvia Schuyler away, she could no longer contain the crumbling emotions deep inside. She sank to the ground, hugged herself, and began to sob aloud.

She knew it was a foregone conclusion that he would leave her.

But in that moment, her heart still ached as if a knife were being dragged through it.

She was in so much pain.

’Why does he always treat me like this?’

’Giving me hope one moment, only to cruelly shatter it the next.’

’Can’t he just let me be happy for a little while longer?’

After a long, long time, Serena Yardley finally pulled herself together and went into the house alone.

That night, she stayed on the living room sofa and didn’t go back to her room.

She just wanted to wait and see if he would come back.

But not only did she wait all night for him to return in vain, he didn’t even call her.

Her heart cold with despair, Serena Yardley only went back to her room to sleep when the sun came up.

「Ten in the morning.」

Raina was leaning over the edge of Serena Yardley’s bed, shaking her awake. "Serena, you said you’d take me out to play today! Get up, let’s go have some fun!"

Despite being exhausted, Serena Yardley got up, washed up, and took Raina out.

Gabriel Galloway wasn’t around today.

Serena Yardley called a car, which took them to a nearby mall.

Normally, Raina never had the chance to go out by herself.

She certainly didn’t have the freedom of a normal child, able to just go shopping for whatever she liked.

Now that she was finally free, she went wild, dragging Serena Yardley all over the mall.

They eventually wandered into an arcade. Raina was engrossed in a motorcycle racing game, and Serena Yardley put her bubble tea down beside her, saying:

"Raina, you stay here and don’t move, okay? I’m just going to the restroom."

Raina Yardley waved a hand dismissively. "Go on, go on. You don’t need to worry about me."

Serena Yardley figured a ten-year-old like Raina should be obedient enough. With that thought, she turned and went to find the restroom.

As she was heading for the restroom, she was surprised to see two men in black emerge from the hallway ahead, advancing toward her menacingly.

Serena Yardley recognized one of them—it was the man who had been following them during their shopping trip yesterday.

Realizing this was bad, she turned to run.

But to her dismay, another man appeared from behind, blocking her path.

This one, however, was different from the other two.

He was tall and dressed in clean, expensive-looking casual wear, with sharp, well-defined features.

He looked like a dashing young master from a wealthy family.

Serena Yardley saw him continuing to approach. The three men had her cornered, leaving her with no way to retreat.

A sudden panic seized her. She asked timidly, "Who... who are you people? Why do you keep following me?"

She was certain she didn’t know these men.

The man strode forward, stopping about a meter away from Serena Yardley.

His sharp brows knitted together as he stared at Serena Yardley with a cold, grim expression.

"Who we are isn’t important. I just want to warn you: stay away from Gabriel Galloway. If I see you with him again, don’t blame me for what happens next."

Serena Yardley was completely bewildered. "I barely even know Gabriel Galloway. You must have misunderstood something."

"You know perfectly well whether you know him or not. Cherish your life. Stay away from Gabriel Galloway."

The man didn’t seem to have any real intention of harming Serena Yardley. After delivering his warning, he gave a look, and the two men in black followed him away.

Serena Yardley was left standing there, completely baffled.

Meanwhile, not far away.

By sheer coincidence, Sylvia Schuyler happened to witness the scene of the three men surrounding Serena Yardley.

After snapping a photo, she saw that the three men left without doing anything to Serena Yardley, so she quickly put her phone away and followed them.

Just as they were entering the parking garage to leave, Sylvia Schuyler stepped forward and called out, "Wait."

The three men stopped and turned around.

Sylvia Schuyler could tell that among the three, the two on the sides were bodyguards, and the one in the middle was a young master.

She addressed the young master directly. "Excuse me, sir, do you know my friend, Serena Yardley?"

Serena Yardley?

’The Serena Yardley that Gabriel Galloway likes?’

Quentin Montgomery remained expressionless and didn’t deny it.

Sylvia Schuyler pressed on, "Do you like my friend?"

Quentin Montgomery still didn’t speak, merely glancing at Sylvia Schuyler with a cold, unapproachable demeanor.

Sylvia Schuyler continued, "If you like her, I can help you."

Quentin Montgomery asked casually, "Who are you?"

"Me? I’m Serena Yardley’s best friend. Here, let me give you my contact information. From now on, you can ask me anything about Serena."

With that, Sylvia Schuyler proactively handed her phone number to Quentin Montgomery.

Quentin Montgomery didn’t refuse. He took it, glanced at it, and turned to get into his car without another word.

Sylvia Schuyler watched the man leave without giving any clear indication of his thoughts. ’He really has the air of a big shot.’

’But still, for an orphan like Serena Yardley, how does she know so many people with such impressive backgrounds?’

’Are all these rich men blind?’

’How could they possibly fall for Serena Yardley?’

The thought that Ethan Yardley would be coming to her place after work tonight lifted Sylvia Schuyler’s spirits. She turned and headed back into the mall.

When Serena Yardley returned to the arcade, Raina was still playing.

She stayed with her for two hours before the little girl finally had her fill.

The two of them continued to wander around, sipping their bubble tea.

Spotting a claw machine in the distance, Raina said excitedly, "Serena, I want to get that one!"

Serena Yardley agreed. "Okay, I’ll go get some tokens."

Who would have thought that the moment she turned, she would run into Sylvia Schuyler.

Sylvia Schuyler was dressed in a sexy, fashionable outfit, her makeup flawless.

She walked up to Serena Yardley, a triumphant smile on her face. "Serena Yardley, what a coincidence. Want to grab a meal together?"

The very sight of this woman made Serena Yardley feel sick to her stomach.

Though her frame was small, she stood before Sylvia Schuyler with a fierce, intimidating aura that warned others not to provoke her.

"Ma’am, are we close? Please stop appearing in front of me. I’m allergic to women like you."

She deliberately shouldered past Sylvia Schuyler and went to get tokens for Raina Yardley.

Hearing Serena Yardley call her "Ma’am" made Sylvia Schuyler’s face turn green with rage.

She relentlessly followed Serena Yardley, taunting her. "Do you know what Ethan said to me last night as we lay in bed?"

"..."

Serena Yardley clenched her fists, trying hard to suppress the rage boiling inside her.

Sylvia Schuyler leaned in closer and said, "Ethan said... you’re like a dead fish in bed. That you’ve never once satisfied him."
