C148 Don't be Nice to Her Anymore.

Lydia was busy with Reece, her eyes filled with surprise.

"You... agreed?"

"Let's go."

Reece ignored her and looked at the driver in front of him coldly.

The car soon deviated from its original track and headed towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

It took a long time for Lydia to regain her senses.

She didn't understand why Reece had agreed to the divorce, but she was still happy that she had finally ended the marriage and returned to her freedom.

Since Reece had agreed to the divorce, the divorce procedures were naturally done very quickly.

The two of them entered the Civil Affairs Bureau and received their divorce papers in fifteen minutes.

Lydia looked at the divorce papers in her hands and felt relieved.

Finally, it was over.

She had finally been reborn.

After putting away the divorce papers, she looked up at the expressionless man beside her. "Thank you."

Thank you?

The word 'thank you' was filled with gratitude, but it hurt Reece's heart.

He stood there without any change in his expression, and his hand that was holding the divorce papers tightened and tightened. His bones turned slightly white.

"Let's not announce the divorce to the public for now. This is related to the sales of this diamond ring. When the time is ripe, I will find an opportunity to announce the divorce to the outside world."

"Alright, you can do as you see fit." Lydia nodded.

After the girl was relieved, Reece's heart sank.

He forced himself to look away from the girl's face and walked out coldly.

Ever since they had gotten the divorce papers, the two of them had less and less interactions.

This time, it was not just Lydia who was silent. Reece was silent as well.

Not only was he silent, but he was also very careful with his words. His eyes were always covered in a layer of black mist, making it so that no one dared to approach him.

The staff did not dare to approach him, afraid that they would be turned into cannon fodder if they did.

The two of them did not speak a word throughout the entire journey. After they arrived in C Nation, they only had a few words to exchange with each other.

Before they left, the staff urged Reece to treat everyone to a drink at the bar.

Because of the big order, Reece, as the boss, naturally agreed to reward everyone generously.

At night, all the other employees went to the bar to celebrate, but only Lydia stayed in the hotel to rest.

At this moment, it was drizzling outside the window.

As the humidity rose, the nerves in Lydia's left leg twitched in pain.

In the past, she could grit her teeth and endure it, but because she was trapped in the snow mountain last time, her left leg was in a worse condition. Now, she almost bit her lower lip until it was torn.

She curled up on the sofa, feeling so much pain that she had lost all color in her face.

At this moment, the door of the room opened with a thud. Reece, who was supposed to be having fun with his colleagues, came back.

Why did he come back?

Lydia's eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at the man.

But very soon, she regained her composure.

Reece's personality was cold and indifferent. If he followed her to the bar, he would only be able to find a place to sit down. It would be difficult for him to get along with his subordinates.

Although he had invited them, if he was around, everyone would probably not be so brazen as to play around.

He probably also realized this, so he chose to come back and let his subordinates have fun.

"Does your foot hurt?" While he was distracted, Reece had already walked to her side. At this moment, his dark eyes were focused on her left foot.

"Mmm..." Lydia nodded. She pretended to be fine and squeezed out a smile. "I'm fine now."

Before she could finish her sentence, her body suddenly started to hurt. She froze on the spot, and her face turned pale. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Reece took in the pain in her eyes for a few seconds before he lifted his leg and left.

However, he quickly returned. At this moment, he had a small white bottle in his hand.

He reached out and handed it to her. "It'll help to relieve some of the pain."

"...Thank you."

Lydia hesitated for a few seconds before accepting it.

When he saw that she had taken the medicine, the man's gaze finally moved away from her face.

In the next second, he bent over and rubbed her left foot with his hands. "Is this better?"

Lydia felt a little conflicted when she saw the touch of his skin. She couldn't help but tense up.

She pursed her lips and tried to pull her foot back.

However, just as she was about to shrink back by a centimeter, she was forcefully pulled back by the man.

"..."

Knowing that no one could change a man's decision, Lydia gave up on retracting her legs.

She leaned against the sofa. The man who was rubbing her feet was laughing in his heart.

In the past, he had looked down on her, but today, he was actually taking care of her like she was nothing.

And on the day of their marriage, wasn't he always angry at her for insisting on a divorce?

Why did he suddenly revert to his old ways?

She pursed her lips. "Are you drunk?"

"No."

"Oh." That was strange.

However, it was not right for her to ask him why he was doing this. So, even if she was curious, she could only let it go.

She thought that it was probably because he felt that part of the reason why her leg had become like this was because of him.

He probably felt guilty.

Yes, that was probably the case.

As the pain subsided, she quickly retracted her foot. "That's enough. Thank you."

"..."

This time, Reece didn't even bother to say 'yeah'. He stood up and walked towards his own room.

Lydia thought about it and called out to the man, "Reece."

"..." Hearing this, the man's footsteps paused.

"You saved my life on the snow mountain, so I owe you one. Don't feel guilty about this left leg. I don't hate you, so don't treat me well anymore."

"..."

Reece didn't respond, nor did he turn around to leave.

He didn't want to be nice to her anymore?

He wanted to stop being nice to her.

However, his heart was already out of his control.

For example, when he saw the rain outside, he was worried that her feet would hurt. It was as if loving her and being nice to her had become her instinct.

Standing in front of the French windows, Reece stared at the drifting rain outside with a dark expression.

"I did what Grandfather promised me. I divorced Lydia and let her go..."

However, the feeling of his heart being ripped apart was really painful.

If his pain was the beginning of her happiness, it would be worth it.

Right, Grandpa?

...

The next day, Lydia, Reece, and the others returned home together.

After getting off the plane, the two of them went back to their respective homes.

As soon as she stepped into the Ellis family, she noticed two cars parked in the courtyard.

One of the cars was Violet's and the other was something she had never seen before.

"Miss, you came back just in time." The butler saw her return and quickly went up to her to pick up her suitcase.

He looked at the man and woman sitting in the living room and reminded in a low voice, "Lydia brought a lawyer here this time. He said that we should split the family fairly."

"How evil."

Lydia's footsteps paused as she looked at Levy, "How is the matter that I asked you to do before you left?"

"Your foresight is impeccable. The moment you boarded the plane, someone came looking for you. The next day, when you received a large sum of money, you submitted your resignation. I have already sent people to keep an eye on these two people. As long as you need them, you can bring them here to interrogate them."

As he spoke, he took out a document from his phone and handed it to her. "Miss, this is all the information about the people who have come into contact with Ottoman."

Ottis?

Hearing this name, Lydia's pupils suddenly shrank.

Could this person be...?

She quickly lowered her head to look at the screen. When she saw the man on the screen, she was shocked.

It was him.

Fang Zhou was Viola's husband in his previous life.

It seemed that it was indeed Viola who was looking for someone to do something to her.

Lydia came back to her senses and raised her eyebrows. "Ley, bring this man and Ottoman together and make clear of this matter in front of everyone in the Ellis family. Let's see who is behind this."

"Is the truth out?" Levy was surprised.

Lydia smiled and raised her eyes to look at Viola in the room. Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Coincidentally, I found out a little... Levy, do as I say and bring her here."

"Alright."

After Levy left, Lydia retracted her gaze and walked into the room.

Today, she wanted to have a good chat with Viola.
