    103 Chapter 103: You Don’t Really Want to Divorce Me Either


    103 Chapter 103: You Don’t Really Want to Divorce Me Either


    Serena Jennings stared intently at Caleb Lockwood. 1


    Caleb Lockwood’s expression and voice were both very calm, leaving her unable to guess what he was up to.


    After a moment of silence, she spoke:


    “I don’t.”


    Caleb was slightly taken aback, but unhurriedly took something out of his briefcase-


    It was a document.


    The distance between Serena and Caleb was neither too close nor too far.


    Although she couldn’t see the exact content of the document, her intuition told her it had a lot to do with her.


    “If you don’te over, I’ll throw this away.”


    Caleb’s voice came through the receiver as calm as a windlesske.


    But a wave surged in Serena’s heart.


    “What is that?” she asked.


    “What you’ve always dreamt of,” he replied.


    Serena raised her eyelids slightly.


    As expected, what Caleb held should be the newly drafted divorce agreement.


    Serena instinctively tightened her grip on her phone.


    “I’m having dinner with a friend. We’ll discuss the document after I’m done.”


    It wasn’t that Serena didn’t want to see the divorce agreement immediately, but once she sat down with him, she might not be able to


    return, and that would be too impolite to Peter.


    Instead of showing anger, Caleb chuckled and said leisurely, “Looks like you’re not really keen on divorcing me, ying hard to get and


    still not tired of it?”


    Seeing Caleb ce the document down, Serena nearly jumped up in urgency.


    Whether she was ying hard to get or not, she believed Caleb knew perfectly well


    Even though Caleb was a narcissist and had reasons to be so


    However, with their repeated arguments about divorce during this period, even a blind eye should see she’s serious.


    Serena was well aware that Caleb was trying to provoke her

    Seeing that Serena genuinely didn’t walk over, Caleb’s thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, unintentionally.


    “Serena, miss tonight and I won’t just tear this divorce agreement; I won’t discuss this matter with you ever again in the future.”


    Caleb gave Serena an ultimatum over the phone, leaving her agitated.


    Just then, she heard Peter beside her say, “Go on, don’t worry about me.”


    “But…”


    “I know what he wants to discuss with you, go ahead!”


    Peter gave Serena a reassuring smile.


    Serena thanked and apologized to Peter before standing up and walking toward where Caleb was seated.


    Peter watched Serena’s slim figure as she walked away, his smile slowly fading.


    At that moment, he caught Caleb’s gaze.


    Caleb’s eyes were always cold and distant, with a certain sharpness that seemed to see through everything.


    Although the gaze wasn’t smug or challenging, Peter knew full well that Caleb choosing this restaurant and this time to discuss divorce


    with Serena was intentional.


    Facing a table full of exquisite dishes, Peter had no appetite at all.


    Without a femalepanion, this meal lost its appeal.


    Peter’s hand reached into his trouser pocket, touching the box inside.


    Serena arrived beside Caleb and sat down.


    “You’re on a date with Peter, why are you dressed like this? Does he like the OL style?”


    Caleb’s question received no response from Serena. He gave a slight smile, called for the waiter, and ordered the most expensive set


    meal.


    “I’m not here to dine with you.”


    Serena emphasized.


    “Then what are you here for if not to eat? To discuss divorce?”


    “Caleb…”


    “Let’s eat first, talk while we eat,”


    Caleb ced the divorce agreement aside.


    Serena felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, yet she could only let Caleb manipte her.


    When they married, she was led by the nose by Caleb, unaware that he’d already had someone else in his heart.

    Now with the divorce, she still had to listen to Caleb; without his agreement, she couldn’t manage a divorce on her own.


    Serena pinched her palm painfully.


    The food was served, exactly like what she had with Peter.


    Feeling guilty towards Peter, Serena was about to nce back at him when Caleb’s cold voice suddenly echoed.


    “Take a look; it’s thetest.”


    The divorce agreement was finally handed to her. Serena took it and began to read from the first page.


    Next to her, Caleb quietly continued his meal.


    Serena concentrated intensely, focusing all her attention on the divorce agreement, only realizing the extra food on her te when she


    came to.


    Her te was piled with slices of ck truffle Kobe beef, caviar, French foie gras, and skan Emperor Crab meat.


    Serena blinked.


    Were those all given to her by Caleb?


    “It won’t taste good if it gets cold.” –


    Caleb casually said while eating his own meal.


    Originally not intending to eat, Serena realized she was a bit hungry, and it would be wasteful not to eat since it was already on her <i>te</i>.


    Seeing Serena finally pick up her fork and knife, Caleb’s lips curved slightly.


    He didn’t say anything.


    Serena didn’t speak either.


    They became the quietest diners in the restaurant.


    While eating, Serena continued reading the divorce agreement.


    <b>This </b>new version <b>was </b>not thin,


    Compared to thest one, which demanded 30 billion inpensation, it was much slimmer.


    Having learned from the previous experience, Serena was mentally prepared this time.


    While Caleb might not be as outrageous as asking for 30 billion again, he was bound to set some traps to make her pay.


    If it were a few million, Serena figured she could afford it


    The first dozen pages of the divorce agreement were nothing special, with no mention of any losses Caleb wanted her topensate


    for.


    However, from the 17th page onward, Serena felt increasingly uneasy.

    Serena was absorbed, focusing intensely on the divorce agreement.


    Next to her, Caleb kept adding delicacies to Serena’s te.


    As soon as Serena’s te was empty, he promptly replenished it.


    After reading through the entire divorce agreement, Serena realized that Caleb had been feeding her throughout the meal.


    Caleb’s steak was long cold.


    “Finished reading?”


    “Finished.”


    Clutching the divorce agreement tightly in her hands, Serena red at Caleb.


    That look puzzled Caleb.


    “Why are you angry?”


    “What do you mean?”


    Serena didn’t answer Caleb’s question but asked directly.


    “The literal meaning.”


    Seeing Caleb unwilling to exin further, Serena felt turmoil within.


    “What’s your reaction? Last time, when I asked for 30 billion, I understood why you were angry. This time, I didn’t ask for any money, and even offered you 80 million inpensation; you should be happy.”


    Caleb spoke lightly.


    Serena wasn’t being picky about the 80 million.


    Caleb was wealthy; if he wanted to give, she wouldn’t refuse.


    Back then, she lost her most precious child, and Caleb shouldpensate her.


    The problem was…


    “Thest five <b>pages </b>of this divorce agreement… you’re transferring 10% of the Lockwood Group shares to me, what is your intention?”
