Galvin is particular about his daily schedule. He woke up early and went to his company before everyone else.

Kristel usually waits for him to have breakfast together.
But she must be famished after their intense sessions last night, and she couldn’t blame him for that but herself being such a seductress.
“Whe’s a straight man in the right mind to ignore such a body displayed before one’s eyes?
Galvin overlooked Kristel’s indiference. He sat quietly on the head chair and tried to read the atmosphere, and be felt uncomfortable–something was amiss. He didn’t hear Kristel’s wann greetings – the usual she did in the passing year.
“F*ck!” Galvin cursed under his breath after he’d realized why Kristel was behaving abnormally.
The divorce papers were supposed not to amive today, but he forgot to call Kurt to delay it for another week. He had totally forgotten about it after dealing with the company matters, and then there were his grandma and Fiona
Clouded with gloom above his head, Galvin stared at Kristel’s signature scribbled in the divorce papers. So suddenly, a wave of emotion revealed in his eyes.
He clenched his knuckles, thinking Kristel was eager to sign without discussing it.
He looked at Kristel, who was silently eating across from him. He doesn’t like the feeling burning within him at this moment.
Apparently, it felt like Kristel was so distant. Her countenance displayed no other trace of emotion but calmness.
‘Is she relieved after signing our divorce agreement?”
Galvin narrowed his gaze as he surmised the fact. He is still determining what response he expects from her. Thus, he wondered what he’d done; so suddenly, it was challenging to put up with her
Lost for a second, Galvin regained his senses and eyed Kristel with an icy stare as he asked, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Kristel stopped putting food in her mouth. She raised her head and met Galvin’s intense gaze with a sweet smile that stunned him, completely catching him off guard
‘I’ve never seen her smile at me this way.” He thought glumly.
Usually, Kristel is cautious when interacting with him. She is observant and makes a point to determine his emotions
Also, she avoids excessive laughter, instead opting for a shy smile, even when ottering encouragement during difficult times, such as when he struggled to close a business deal.
“Well.. I do have something to say to you. Congratulations to you and Fiona. Finally, you two will be together soon.
Galvin nanowed his gaze and clenched his jaw. Listening to Kristel enunciating such a statement, why does it make him unhappy?
