Chapter 68
The officer pursed his lips, and his gaze couldn’t help but sweep across both of us. Then, he lowered his head and went through with the normal procedures.
The documents were definitely fine, and Quinton personally drew up the divorce agreement for me. He fought for me for nothing but the best in terms of both personal interests and division of property.
“Why is there a handwritten clause in the agreement?” At that moment, the officer suddenly opened the divorce agreement in front of us. you amended it?”
“Which one of
Naturally, I didn’t do anything like that. However, I couldn’t help but frown when I got a good look at the handwritten clause. I instinctively turned my head sideways and looked at Gavin
were also the one who oversaw the renovation.
Gavin spoke in a deep voice, “This villa is located in the neighborhood you chose back then. You w Naturally, it’s yours. Think of it as my compensation for you.”
I couldn’t help but feel sulky. Everything was listed clearly in the divorce agreement. If something belonged to me, I would definitely fight for it. On the contrary, I had no interest in taking something that wasn’t mine.
However, Gavin added one more clause without consulting me. Would that nullify the divorce?
I was afraid that adding something there would cause unfavorable changes to the divorce. So, I hurriedly looked at the officer. “Can we cross out the handwritten clause? Is it going to have any negative bearing on the agreement’s legality?”
The officer looked at me before turning his gaze to Gavin “Did you add this handwritten clause?”
Gavin nodded. “I did.”
“Sign above it and leave a thumbprint. ”
“Alright.” Gavin did as he was told.
My heart was in my throat initially, but I finally felt relieved when I saw the officer take back the divorce agreement
Minutes came and went. Silence hung over the hall. The only audible sound was the faint rustling as the officer flipped through the document and the thudding sound as he stamped on each page of the document.
I fixed my gaze on the officer, who was occupied with the document. Be that as it may, I could still sense
Gavin’s intense gaze.
“It’s done. Both of you will have to sign the document. Then, you can get your divorce certificate in 30 days.” The officer pushed a document to our side
of the table.
I was the

we get it today?”
“There’s a new rule in our country now. From this point on, a divorce cooling–off period of 30 days is in effect. If either party regretted his or her decision, that party reserves the right to revoke the divorce.”
I immediately felt anxious. “Did you just say that the divorce can be revoked?”
“Yeah. It’s a new law that was passed recently.”
What? When did something like this become law?
If that was the case, Gavin could always revoke the divorce anytime in the next 30 days. Then, all the divorce procedures would’ve been for naught.
At that moment, Gavin was done signing his document. He handed the document to the officer and said, “Thank you.”
“Let’s go.” Gavin rose to his feet.
I felt a little upset as I followed Gavin out of city hall. At that moment, Dawn was already eagerly waiting for me at the entrance. The moment she saw me, she immediately stepped forward and asked, “How did it go, Gracie? Is the procedure done?”
I nodded. “Yeah. The divorce procedure has been carried out ”
“That’s fantastic!” Dawn couldn’t help but applaud me
I must’ve been affected by her jovial mood because my lips couldn’t help but curl into a grin. “Are you really this happy after the divorce?”
