Dear Ex Your Request For A Reunion Is Rejected novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

After the storm passed in Eldoria, a man in a black suit sat in first class. He carried an air of elegant detachment and wore a simple ring on his ring finger. He asked, “Is the signal back yet?”

“We need about another hour before it’s restored,” his assistant, Galen Hawthorne, replied. “The messages we sent earlier to Mrs. Fenwick still haven’t been answered.”

Lucien hummed in acknowledgment.

His flight landed at 5:30 pm. As soon as the phone signal returned, he called the Juniville estate immediately.

The staff there told him that Calista hadn’t been home for an entire week, and no one could reach her. Lucien tried calling from Galen’s phone, but it still went unanswered.

Usually, Calista would pick up his calls right away. Lucien felt a growing sense of unease, somehow.

On the drive back to the Fenwick estate, his expression was as dark as storm clouds, and the atmosphere in the car was suffocating. Galen had never seen him like this before.

When he arrived home, Lucien discovered just how much had changed while he was away. Walking into the entrance hall, he noticed an empty chair at the dining table where someone should have been sitting.

Andrea approached him, clutching a blonde doll. “Welcome home.”

Lucien nodded and removed his suit jacket, his expression cold as he pulled out a chair and sat. His gaze cut sharply and dangerously as it landed on Lydia. “Where’s Calista?”

“Mrs. Fen—Ms. Marchand is gone,” Lydia replied.

Ms. Marchand? The title caught Lucien off guard.

For three years, everyone had called her “Mrs. Fenwick”. She was his wife. So, what was this “Ms. Marchand” nonsense?

Lucien’s voice dropped to an icy tone, and a chilling atmosphere filled the entire hall. “Lydia, you’ve been with the Fenwick family long enough to know that there’s no ‘Ms. Marchand’ here.”

Serena spoke up then. “Lydia, bring him that document. Let him see for himself.”

“Yes, Mrs. Fenwick Senior.”

Lydia handed Lucien a document. The moment he saw it, his heart skipped a beat. The bad feeling he’d been having grew stronger, along with an unfamiliar emotion spreading through his chest.

He forced that feeling down and pulled out the papers. Lucien’s brow furrowed deeply. He was staring at the words “Divorce Agreement” in bold letters.

Calista’s signature was there on the final page, written in the careful script he remembered from her letters.

“How many times is she going to pull this stunt?” Lucien tossed the document aside dismissively. “Call her. I want to see her within half an hour.”

Even now, Lucien thought that this was all just another game. After all, Calista had threatened him with divorce at least ten times before. He simply didn’t believe that it was real.
