Samuel held the paper file without moving, even if his wrists and pants were drenched in coffee, he still didn't notice.
Divorce agreement ...
These words are like a hammer hitting his heart, which hurts him a little.
He looked at the contents of the agreement in bewilderment, reading every word. But when he read the whole passage, it looked very strange.
Samuel maintained this motion for a full minute, his eardrums buzzing, as if something was being pulled out of his body.
This emotion came suddenly and caught him off guard.
Perhaps, in all the years he and Erika had been together, he had never thought that one day, a gentle and graceful woman like her would end this marriage in this way!
But... What was the reason?!
Samuel was confused, he turned the document stiffly to the last page, and glimpsed the column of signatures that had been signed by Erika and her lawyer.
The papers he was holding were duplicates, and Erika had signed them all.
Samuel continued to swallow his throat, then dropped the file in his hand as he subconsciously touched his trouser pocket.
He wanted to find his phone, and wanted to call her to ask.
For no apparent reason… Why did she want to divorce him?
At this moment, he didn't even realize how excitedly he was fumbling in his trouser pocket.
"Sir? What is wrong with you…?"
The butler, who had been waiting at the kitchen door, realized that something was wrong with Samuel.
He took a few steps forward and asked with concern.
Hearing his voice, Samuel averted his gaze for a moment, licked the corners of his mouth, and said in a hoarse tone, "Call her now!"
"What happened?"
Samuel roared. "Just go and call her!"
The butler was horrified by him and didn't dare to ask anymore. He took his cell phone out of his trouser pocket and dialed Erika's number.
"Sorry, the number you dialed was wrong..."
Woe to him!
He stared at the screen in astonishment, and repeatedly confirmed that he had not dialed the wrong number. Then he raised his head in a panic, and said faintly, "This... Sir! Madam's number has been changed!"
Samuel stepped forward without a word and grabbed the cell phone the other person was holding. He saw that the name of the number was 'Mrs. Erika', then dialed the number again.
After that, just like what the waiter said, the voice told him that the number he dialed was wrong.
Samuel couldn't believe it. He wanted to enter Erika's number manually. But when he pressed the number 0, his fingertip suddenly stopped.
After twenty years of marriage, he had never memorized Erika's phone number!
"Take my phone, hurry!"
Samuel was standing in the kitchen, clutching his phone tightly. He couldn't believe that Erika had left!
His wife loves him so much all this time…. is it all fake?!
Starting at 9:30 this morning, the Hiroshi family's house was in chaos!
Before long, the butler finally found Samuel's cell phone on the sofa in the master bedroom. He quickly handed it to the surrounding maids, urging him to send it downstairs.
When Samuel got his cell phone and dialed Erika's phone, he heard the same tone from before. He was finally convinced that Erika was gone!
She had gone without a word and without telling him anything!
At this moment, the butler turned to the kitchen panting heavily. Seeing Samuel's extremely ugly and gloomy face, he asked, "Master, Madam…"
"Check who she went on vacation with!"
Until now, Samuel still couldn't accept reality.
He didn't even think that Erika would elope with someone else.
However, he was sure that his wife loved him and couldn't possibly love anyone else.
After Samuel gave the order, the butler and the others immediately conducted an investigation.
Twenty minutes later, the butler walked back quickly from outside the hall with a chauffeur.
At this time, the living room was filled with smoke, and there were already two cigar butts in the ashtray on the table.
The butler hastily introduced the driver, and said anxiously, "Sir, the day Madam left, he was the one who sent her to the airport. Agus, quickly report to Mr. Samuel what happened that day."
Agus was a young man who was standing tensely beside him, he then explained everything carefully.
When he finished his story, Samuel asked in a low voice, "When you took her to the airport, did you see who she got on the plane with?"
Agus shook his head with a confused expression, he then explained, "No, since the first time Madam arrived at the airport and checked in, she was always alone!"
After that, Agus suddenly remembered something else. He hesitated for a few seconds, and added timidly, "Madam didn't meet anyone at the airport, but… in the morning, she asked me to follow your car. Then the car stopped at the Royal Galaxy hotel and the Madam asked me to find out if there was a woman named Emma staying at…"
Hearing this, when Samuel had not yet reacted, the butler looked at his master with an expression of disbelief.
He ran to someone else's arms early in the morning?!
Sir, you have no shame!
He also knows that Emma is an arrogant woman who came to their house and made the young miss upset!
Hearing this, the cigar in hand Samuel fell on the couch.
He seems to know the source of the problem. Ignoring the heat from the cigarette butts that made a hole in the sofa, he waved his hand slowly to Agus for him to leave.
The butler sighed and picked up the fallen cigar. He looked at Samuel, hesitated for a bit and suggested, "Sir, Madam may have misunderstood something. Would you like to call her family? Maybe she returned to her family home because she was upset."
Samuel's eyes were a little vacant. At first, he couldn't understand Erika's sudden departure. Could she really follow him to the hotel?
But he and Emma didn't do anything!
Samuel condensed his brows, his mind very confused.
The butler's suggestion came to his ear, and after listening to it, he subconsciously picked up his phone.
The screen wasn't on yet, but Samuel's expression changed suddenly.
After twenty years of marriage, he doesn't know where Erika's birth family is...
Looking back, from the day Erika left her house, Samuel just realized that his understanding of his wife was almost non-existent.
It seems that over the years, her existence was merely an accessory to his family.
He didn't even know where Erika was from or her surname.
Samuel sat in the living room and didn't move for a long time.
He tried to find traces of information related to Erika in his mind, but no matter how he searched it, the results were in vain.
Samuel lowered his head in frustration, and his eyes fell on the divorce agreement on the table.
He picked it up again and read it patiently. And after a while, the paper fell to the ground again.
The content of this document is very simple— she didn't want anything and she just wanted to free herself from their hopeless marriage.
...
At the same time, Merry rushed to Chris' office with her cell phone.
Panic was evident in her large eyes, and when she pushed open the door, she cried out in tears.
"Brother, what should I do?! I can't dial my mother's number!"
