NovelStartChapter 180 This time, Morgan answered Mason's question. "The divorce will only be finalized after the 30-day cooling-off period. It's a required stage." Mason clicked his tongue. "So, she's got like a month's grace, huh? Lucas, you must be pretty annoyed with the policy, right?" Lucas didn't seem to care much about these concerns. He turned to Morgan and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How about we grab a bite later?" Morgan agreed.
Mason, left to play the role of driver, climbed into the car. Just as they were about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Right, why did you change your number?" Without looking up from his phone, Lucas answered, "For work." Mason shrugged, deciding not to press further.
Evelyn had ssentimental attachment to the marital home. Every little detail was something she had invested her emotions in while decorating. However, many unpleasant memories were also tied to that house. Even though Lucas had given it to her, she didn't plan to move back in.

There were still many of Lucas' things there. And there was that study, which she had never been allowed to enter. It held many important items of his.
She had forgotten to ask Lucas when he planned to move out. After thinking it over, Evelyn decided it was best for him to clear out his things as soon as possible. Property transfer and all the related paperwork would be a hassle.
She picked up the phone to call him, but again, she was greeted with the smessage "Sorry, the number you've dialed is out of service..." It was the sautomated message.
Evelyn's expression remained neutral as she looked at Michael through the rear-view mirror. "Why can't I reach Mr. Grant? His number isn't working." Michael glanced at her through the mirror. "Mr. Grant changed his number on Valentine's Day. He's no longer using the old one. Didn't he inform you?" Evelyn was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent. She was surprised that he had changed his number completely. It seemed like Lucas was even more eager to sever ties with his past than she had imagined.
Suddenly, she thought about the type of people who, to please their partners, would unfollow their exes from social media. Was Lucas doing something similar? Evelyn asked in a calm voice, "So how will I reach him when the tcomes to pick up the divorce certificate?" Michael, in his businesslike tone, replied, "Mr. Grant would make the arrangements. Or you can schedule a meeting with him directly. If he's in a good mood, he might give you his new number." Evelyn furrowed her brows. So, in the end, she would have to wait for Lucas to get in touch? She rubbed her temples, then turned to look out the window, feeling a strange sense of calm wash over her.
This was not her problem to solve. When the tcto pick up the divorce certificate, Lucas would probably be more anxious than she was.
Michael, watching her through the rear-view mirror, noted how calm and indifferent she was. He was surprised that Evelyn wasn't angry about Lucas changing his number without telling her.

But really, what was the point of her being angry? She still had to wait for Lucas to make the next move. Even if she had urgent matters, she'd have to find a way to contact him herself.
After completing the divorce paperwork, Evelyn returned to Flying Seal Group. Originally, Justine was supposed to accompany her to the courthouse, but Evelyn declined in the end. When she returned, Justine was already waiting eagerly. As soon as Evelyn entered, Justine rushed over, pulling her into the office. "So, how did it go? Was it smooth?"
Evelyn hesitated for a moment, thinking of the two clauses in the agreement that Lucas had set. But she eventually nodded. "We've submitted the papers. It'll take a month to finalize." Justine frowned. "There are so many rules now!" Evelyn didn't care about that.
Justine then suggested, "Let's go out for a meal tonight to celebrate." Evelyn agreed.
They went to The Vertus, where the core team from Flying Seal Group gathered. After a while. Oth had Sebastian returned from the restroom, looking somewhat troubled. Justine leaned in, her voice teasing. "Sebastian, what's with that face? Did something bad happen?" Sebastian gave her a side eye before pulling out his phone and showing it to both her and Evelyn. "Take a look. Your ex-husband really is something."
