Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Chapter 984 A Strange Woman Lauren was striding along the street alone as I chased after her. I quickly grabbed my things and got into the car, swiftly starting my car to catch up to her.

I parked my car close to her and honked. She turned her head and glanced at me, opening the car door.

She looked grumpy, and I said, "Why are you mad at me? I didn't ask him to come. My meal got ruined, and I'm not even complaining! I'm starving now. Did I do anything wrong?" Knowing what she had done was improper, she sighed softly and said, "Letjoin you for sfood. It's close by. Pull over, and I'll drive!" We switched places, and she drove directly to the restaurant she mentioned.

It dawned onthat it was the "Marioposa" restaurant near Ivanna's workplace.

Their food was delicious, indeed. I did, however, also bring the takeaway with me.

After we got into Marioposa, I grinned and said, "This is such a fortunate coincidence. I can savor both meals?" Lauren looked helpless.

I asked mischievously, "Lauren, if I hadn't followed your advice just now and left, would you have stopped consideringyour best friend?" She gavea severe look and said, "If a friend can't be in my shoes, is that the kind of person we can still be friends with?" "Thank goodness I'm timid," I murmured as I stuck out my tongue at her.

She glared at me, looking calm and composed.

We ordered several dishes in Marioposa, satisfying my ever-growing stomach. That was when I finally felt happy and satisfied.

I had no idea how Oliver would feel, but I sensed that reconciling could be complicated.

After the meal, we left the restaurant while chatting and strolling.

We were in a small neighborhood and noticed numerous clothing boutiques. Lauren draggedinto one. Surprisingly, the clothes in the little boutique were nice. Despite being a small-brand retailer, the designs were distinctive, and I enjoyed spieces.

I found maternity wear that would be very suitable for Ivanna. Just as my 31.1 handed that piece of clothing, a swifter hand yanked it away.

I glanced at the woman who took the clothing. I was surprised to see that the woman was the one who had run intothat day in the store! Her smile was hard to read as she looked at me.

I did not hold back and asked, "Miss, do you know the 'first come, first serve' rule?" Her smile deepened, and her eyes were full of provocation, saying, "You were here first?" I recognized this voice very well, but as I looked closely at her face today, I was positive I had never seen it before.

I asked, "Who are you? Do we know each other? Or did you mistake someone else for me?" I asked this question because when Ivanna saw her, she said she looked like Harmony.

"You do realize that who I am has nothing to do with you? I just have to get what I want, that's all," she remarked maliciously.

I kept staring at her, thinking that her words seemed to have sprofound meaning.

Lauren observed our impasse from a distance, walked over slowly, and continued to examine her closely.

The woman ignored Lauren's questioning stare.

Lauren asked, "This piece of clothingChapter 983 Strange Atmosphere A hoarse voice spoke, "Lauren, I know I was wrong. Giveanother chance, and I can give you everything you said. We can get married, have children, and live the life you want!" Both of us were stunned. Lauren turned her face away, quickly wiping her tears.

Standing at the door was Oliver Hansen.

Neither of us knew how long he had been standing there. However, it appeared that he overheard our conversation.

The three of us stayed silent, and only our breathing could be heard.

After a while, it was Lauren who broke the silence. She looked at Oliver with a distant expression and said, "I don't want to see you. Can you please not disturb us while we're having dinner? Thank you!" Mr. Oliver glanced atand apologized, "Ms. Chloe, could you please excuse us? I'd like to talk to Lauren." I quickly nodded and said, "Of course!" As I was about to get up and leave, Lauren grabbed my arm and coldly said, "Chloe, if you walk out of this room today, we are no longer friends. Our relationship ends here." She then stared atwhile gradually releasing her hold on my hand.

Feeling uneasy, I glanced at Mr. Oliver and chose to stay seated without moving. Because I knew, in this matter, Lauren wouldn't compromise, even if I were her best friend.

Mr.Oliver, understanding the situation, stopped making things difficult for me. He spoke, "Lauren, please don't be like this. I've reflected on myself, and I know I was wrong from the beginning. It's my fault, and I've let you down! "In the days without you, I truly understood my own heart. My life can't be without you! You are already a part of me! Without you, my life has no meaning. I..." "Sorry, Mr. Oliver, please don't disturb us during our meal!" Lauren said in a detached manner, "Your life has nothing to do with me! Please have sself-respect!" Mr. Oliver walked into the small room, determined not to leave. He looked at Lauren and said, "Lauren, I know I've caused you pain. Please forgive me. I promise to devote the rest of my life to you, to care for you, and to never again let you suffer! I can do it!" "But I no longer need someone to care for me," Lauren said decisively.

Lauren looked atcoldly and asked, "Can we change to another place to eat?" I looked awkwardly at Oliver.

Lauren said todisapprovingly, "You don't need to look at him. find it at, you don't h If you answer me. I can leave." In my helplessness, I looked at Lauren. Just as I was about to speak, she grabbed her bag from behind her and stood up.

I quickly got up, grabbed the bag, and said to her, "Lauren, don't be angry. I can eat anything." Oliver reached out and grabbed her arm. "Lauren! Don't be like this... I truly miss you!" His tone was full of pain and a hint of resentment

Lauren forcefully shook off his hand, angrily saying, "Enough! Please stop making useless gestures. I won't repeat the smistakes! The woman who used to stay by your side has also died!" e P"Sorry," I mouthed at Oliver before quickly following Lauren downstairs.

I wept in my heart. My delicious

meal was disrupted, and I was so hungry that my stomach was m growling The food about to reach my mouth was just messed up like that!

To my surprise, Granny was near the stairs with the food.

Lure Without waiting for her to ask, Lauren had already rushed out. Greedily, I told her, "Granny, pack it for us. I'm taking it away!" Granny agreed with a nod, quickly turned back, and efficiently packed the food in a container at the counter.

I thanked her, stuffed smoney, and hurriedly chased after Lauren.

does matter to us, though. It's ironic because what you stated also Pel applies to us. If we like it, we won't letit let to t go!" After saying that, she snatched the clothes and shouted, "Salesperson, pack it up!" X
