Lola Smith and Colin Murphy had promised a marriage of convenience before Lola went abroad. Two years later, when Lola came back and wanted a divorce, Colin just put aside her proposal and ran after her. While Lola was sick, Colin stayed up with her in case she got worse. When she got hurt, Colin, who literally doesn't have to do anything on his own, took care of her all the time by himself. Once she argued a divorce again, he just replied, "Well, surely we can get a divorce, but after that you must remarry me. You are my only wife and we have to spend our entire life together." How could she keep away from him, the gentle and soft man?
It took Lola Smith a dozen hours to fly from Paris to Sea City. She was completely tired and exhausted.
It was at dusk when she left the airport. The rosy clouds shone brightly in the sky. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the city, making the whole city look familiar yet unfamiliar.
Wrapping up her scarf, Lola dragged her suitcase out of the airport, went to the roadside to stop a taxi, and headed straight for the Imperial Glory Hotel.
Thinking that she would see Colin a while later, Lola was inexplicably nervous.
After getting married for two years, they had seen each other only a few times. The last time they had seen each other took place half a year ago when Colin had gone to France for a business trip. He, who probably had been ordered by his seniors, had specially gone to Paris to visit Lola's grandmother.
The door to the room was open. Lola knocked on the door out of politeness and got no answer. She directly pushed the door and walked in.
The presidential suite was located on the top floor of the hotel. There was a whole side of the French window inside the room, offering a wide view to overlook all the scenery of Sea City.
The setting sun not far away was sinking and floating at the meeting point of the sea and the sky. In the sky, there were brilliant rosy clouds and dotted returning birds.
Lola stood in the middle of the room and dragged the suitcase at her hand as she was attracted by the view outside the window.
"Clatter, clatter!" It wasn't until a few moments later that she heard the sound of water from the bathroom.
A few minutes later, the door to the bathroom was pulled open. A dainty and slender woman appeared behind the door.
The woman only wore a towel provided by the hotel, which was just long enough to cover the base of her thighs. There were two long and fair legs beneath the towel.
Upon seeing Lola, Tami stiffened immediately. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She pulled the bathrobe next to her frantically and wrapped it around her body in a panic.
"Lo... Lola, why are you here?"
Lola didn't answer. Looking down at Tami's taut toes, Lora wanted to laugh all of a sudden. But She managed to hold back and tugged at the corner of her mouth as she called, "Sister-in-law."
Tami laughed awkwardly, "Don't get me wrong. I came to a dinner party with Colin and spilled the soup accidentally, making my clothes soiled. So I went here to take a bath... "
She was eager to explain. However, before she finished explaining, the door was pushed open and Colin walked in with a paper bag at his hand.
Seeing Lola, Colin was startled. But he came back to his senses quickly, "When did you come back?"
Lola glanced at the suitcase at her hand and curled up her lips, "Just arrived."
Colin handed the paper bag to Tami, who took it over hurriedly and turned into the bathroom to get changed.
Although Colin was just Lola's nominal husband, upon seeing another woman showing up in the room of her "husband" while being half-naked, Lola felt that the atmosphere was somewhat...
Well, it's quite embarrassing.
What's more, this woman was the sister-in-law of Colin!
Fortunately, Tami, who was very sensible, changed her clothes and left without further explanation.
Colin walked over to the bar, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Lola, "What do you want to drink? Juice or coffee?"
"No need." Lola stood there without moving, "I'll be leaving soon. Don't bother."
Colin poured her a cup of coffee. And Lola took it over, "Thank you."
Colin held a cup of coffee for him at his hand, walked over to the sofa, and sat down while overlapping his long legs, "Are you here for something?"
Lola squeezed the cup. She, who didn't intend to talk about any bullshits, got straight to the point, "Regarding the issue, what's your conclusion after deliberation?"
Colin raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
"Getting divorced."
Colin gave an "oh" as if he had remembered something, "So, you've made up your mind, right?"
Lola gave a faint "hmm" and added thoughtfully, "We agreed at first that we could get divorced at any time."
