His efficiency had dropped significantly since Isabella's return to Crestwood , drawing dissatisfaction from many senior executives and shareholders . It had been almost ten days since his last unpleasant interaction with Chloe . Liam knew Chloe was unwilling to apologize , and he was aware he had been favoring Isabella too much recently , so he hadn't disturbed her . Arranging for Chloe to receive treatment in the UK would also give all three parties some space and distance .

The pen in his hand swerved , leaving a thick , dark line that tore through the paper in front of him . He made a sound of annoyance and typed on his phone . [ What divorce ? ] His assistant , standing nearby , was also taken aback . " The company's ... legal department received the divorce decree about ten days ago . Your personal information has already been updated from ' Married ' ... to ' Divorced ' . " " You didn't know ?

In an instant , the blue iMessage bubble turned a dull , dismissive green . Beneath it , the system delivered its cold , final verdict in gray text . [ Not Delivered . ] ...... The assistant standing nearby watched the changing expressions on Liam's face , ending with him staring blankly at his phone . [ Find out where Chloe Thompson is now . ] Liam sighed , feeling helpless . After giving the instruction to his assistant , he buried himself in his work again . " Liam , you promised to go shopping with me today . " " I ... have to work overtime . " Liam patted Isabella's head resignedly and bent back over the contracts , signing and preparing for various business negotiations . " Liam , when can I meet ... your parents ? " " My parents are returning from abroad next week and said they'd like to meet you too . " " My dad said if the meeting goes well , he'd like to finalize things between us . " Isabella snatched the contract from Liam's desk , hiding it behind her back , forcing him to look at her . Liam had no choice but to look at Isabella . He observed her impeccably made - up face . At this close distance , the perfume swirling around her was a bit too strong . Liam , being allergic , inappropriately sneezed . Isabella's expression shifted slightly , her lips puckering a little as she leaned down to continue persuading him . " Liam , please ? I don't want to wait any longer .

" As these words left Liam's mouth , Isabella was also stunned , a flash of panic crossing her features . She quickly straightened up, averting her gaze from Liam . " I ... I heard it from ... from your assistant . " A wave of displeasure rose in Liam's heart . He knew his assistant would never leak his personal information , so he didn't believe Isabella's answer . " You . Answered . The divorce call ? " Hearing Liam's question , Isabella instead flared with a bit of discontent . " Liam , you said you loved me . Why are you getting angry with me over that woman ? " " I didn't know it was the court calling . I answered for you , and then I remembered you have selective mutism . I didn't know how to respond on your behalf . Who knew the court had so many rules , that not replying meant defaulting to agree to the divorce ? " Isabella clasped her hands together in front of her chest , her tone dripping with coquettishness , her eyes beginning to glisten with unshed tears . " Are you mad at me ? " She walked around the desk , wrapped her arms around Liam's neck . " I'm sorry , Liam . It was my fault . Please don't be angry with me , okay ?
