Marriage And Love Again

Calvin drove into the neighborhood and felt the security guard was looking at him weirdly.

But he was in a good mood today, so he didn’t want to fuss about it.

He didn’t know where Dora had met such a friend to back her up. She had set them up and got them into trouble in order to force him to divorce Dora.

However, he didn’t lose anything. After all, as long as he agreed to divorce Dora, they could proceed with the signed orders of 600, 000 pieces and make good money from it.

It had been more and more difficult for them to survive in the field. As a small manufacturer, they had to face up to the rat races and they had also been cracked down by the big manufacturers. It was surprising that they had closed deals of 600, 000 pieces within half a year and they could sit back with comfort even if they couldn’t receive many orders in the second half of the year.

Calvin was extremely proud and happy when he knew that the problem of materials would be readily solved as long as he agreed to divorce Dora. Now, he even didn’t mind that Heather had run away, let alone the wink of a little security guard.

He came back to fetch the divorcing papers. He went out of the elevator and saw his neighbor taking the trash out.

Calvin had seldom socialized with his neighbors and he didn’t plan to say hi.

But the neighbor looked at him and said abruptly, “Shame on you!” Calvin frowned and couldn’t help to ask, “Wait, madam. What do you mean by saying that? What’s the shame about it? Explain it clearly. Otherwise, I won’t be done with you!”

Calvin believed the neighbor would give him a solid explanation since he was talking sense, though rarely.

The neighbor despised him as soon as he finished talking, “You scum! Shame on you! Dora has told us the truth. She has never eloped with any other man. It was you! You forced her to leave because you brought the mistress back home! Well, forget it! You even want to divorce her and take all the possessions and properties. Damn it! Shame on you and your family!”

Calvin didn’t live with his parents but his parents just lived upstairs in the same apartment building. When they purchased the apartment, his mother couldn’t bear the pain to live far away from him. So, they bought another apartment right upstairs and moved in this year.

There goes the old saying that bad news has wings. Heather spread the rumor that Dora had eloped with her lover in order to defend herself, and Calvin didn’t bother to explain it to the public for the sake of the unborn child.

But he didn’t expect that Dora would come back and explain everything someday.

Calvin’s neck turned red with rage and he was going to deny it subconsciously. But the neighbor began talking before him, “Cut the crap! We’ve seen it with our own eyes when you brought the mistress home at that time! The Bennett family is a respectful family of fame and wealth in our neighborhood, but how could you cheat on Dora and brought the mistress home? Dora has married you for more than two years and she has devoted herself to taking care of you and your family. She had to do the housework in your own apartment every day and she also had to clean up your parent’s apartment every weekend! You’ll never meet a better wife!”

“Dora is divorcing you and I don’t feel sorry for you. Be a man. Don’t try to bring shame to Dora again after you get divorced. We can see it!”

Retired women were always bored and they were fond of gossiping to kill time.

Calvin was unreasonable and violent, but he couldn’t do anything with his neighbor now.

And whatever the neighbor said was true. He stood there with his face turning green and red with anger. Finally, he couldn’t put up with it anymore. He took out the key and unlocked the door of his apartment.

However, he got totally stunned when he went into the apartment.

WTF! Had it been robbed?

Calvin looked at the completely empty apartment and doubted no thief could take everything away. In no time, he had realized who had done it. He had been husband and wife with Dora for more than two years but he never thought that Dora could be able to do such things!

With his face turning green with outrage, Calvin took out the phone and called Dora.

They were getting a divorce this afternoon. So, Calvin had to unblock her number.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Dora’s phone rang when they had just taken seats in the restaurant.

Dora thought it was Jane, but she knitted her delicate eyebrows when she saw the calling number.

Cecelia was checking the menu. She saw the look on Dora’s face and raised her amorous eyes slightly, “Is it, Calvin?”

“Yeah.” Dora glanced at Suny and nodded.

Suny picked two cuisines and handed them over to Rosa, then she asked Dora, “Do you mind talking on speaker?”

Dora passed her phone to Suny directly, and Suny answered the phone and put it on speaker.

Calvin’s desperately angry voice came from the phone, “How dare you, Dora! You threatened me to divorce you and even spread the rumor that I’ve cheated on you in the neighborhood, right? Do you really think you can manipulate me now?”

Then, he roared, “Tell them to move the furniture back into the apartment, or wait alone in the Civil Affairs Bureau!”

It seemed that he found it not threatening enough, then added, “Watch out, Dora! Or I will kill you and your parents!”

It was the first time that he had been provoked like this in his life.

If it had already pissed him off when he was told off by the neighbor just now, it simply freaked him out when he saw the empty apartment now.

Dora should feel lucky that she wasn’t standing in front of him now. Otherwise, he must have beaten her so hard that she even didn’t dare to mention the word “divorce” again.

After all, Dora was afraid of Calvin. Their marriage lasted for two years and they did have some sweet days in the first six months. The Bennett family was renowned locally but Calvin had been a bully since he was a kid. When he got tired of Dora’s body and love, he revealed his evil nature. If there was anything wrong, he would scold her or even hit her.

For her parents, Dora bore with it for more than one year and she didn’t make up her mind to divorce him until the scandal was revealed and he brought the mistress with him everywhere without the fear of being seen.

She had been bullied for so long that she was used to being obedient and frightened in front of him.

Though she had decided to walk out of the past, she still felt the fear deep in her heart.

Dora’s face was pale in a flash when she heard what Calvin said.

She looked at Suny helplessly. She knew Suny was the only one she could trust and rely on now.

Rosa stretched out to hold her hand, “Don’t worry, Ms. Dora. Ms. Suny is here. No one can hurt you.”

Suny picked up the phone directly and turned off the speaker, “Mr. Bennett, do you believe that I can also make you suffer so much that you wish to die? And nobody will know it.”

Suny was smiling when she was saying those words to Calvin. Her voice was so soft and tender but kind of aggressive and oppressive.

Calvin froze. His hand shook a bit but he acted to be strong, “Ms. Suny, I’ve promised to divorce Dora. And, everyone in the neighborhood knows what I’ve created. Well, I don’t mind it now. But she has moved everything out of my apartment. That was too much!”

“Everything she had moved away was purchased with her own money. You two are getting a divorce now and she just moved the furniture out and took care of them. It made sense! What’s your problem with it?”

Suny paused a bit, “I am not a person of patience, Mr. Bennett. Dora wants to divorce you and she can wait no matter how long she has to. But I think your company just can’t afford to wait for long. You must be there at 2:30 this afternoon. See you in court if you are late, not even for one minute.”

After that, Suny hung up the phone directly, then she put the phone in front of Dora and smiled at her, “Don’t worry. If he doesn’t show up, we’ll sue him of bigamy.”

“Can we?” Dora was surprised.

Suny held up her chin, looked at her, and blinked her eyes, “Do you think I am lying?”

Dora stared at Suny’s amorous eyes and suddenly found the fear and unease deep in her heart go. She also smiled, “No.
