Chapter 100 We Have No Children

The staff member looked up at her upon hearing this expecting to see a pained expression on her face. However, Lysander’s countenance was unexpectedly calm, with even a hint of a smile playing at her lips.

Seeing the staff member looking at her, Lysander politely asked, “What’s the matter? Do you need any additional documents?”

“No, everything seems quite complete.”

“Alright, that’s good. Thank you.”

The staff member asked, “By the way, have you both settled on custody of the children?”

“We…”

As soon as the topic of children came up. Lysander’s expression darkened slightly.

Josiah also turned away, unwilling to speak.

“We don’t have children,” Lysander said.

“Oh, okay. Then, this is pretty straightforward for you. There’s hardly any complications,” the staff member said.

“That’s right.”

“Alright, I’ll just go ahead and process it for you.

“Okay.”

The staff member asked Josiah, “What about the gentleman? It seems like the lady has been doi the talking. Do you have any objections?”

Josiah lifted his head and shook it. “I’ll listen to her.”

The staff member chuckled knowingly. “I see, are you two divorcing just to take advantage of a loophole in the policy for buying a house?”

Josiah frowned. “What?”

“Alright, don’t pretend. I can see through it.”

Lysander also didn’t quite understand. “See through what?”

The staff member gestured with her lips behind them, indicating they should look for themselves.

Behind them were several couples waiting to get divorced.

One couple was arguing loudly, their faces flushed; another sat back to back, ignoring each other as if they were strangers: and then there was a woman crving while the man held another young and pretty

woman in his arms.

relationship hasn’t brok

“Do you see? These are the real couples here to get divorced,” the staff member said. “Like you two, you don’t seem to have any conflicts or hatred. It looks like your down. If it hasn’t broken down, why get a divorce? It must be for exploiting the policy, for buying a house.”

Lysander shook her head after hearing this. “It’s really not that. We’re really here to get divorced.”

The staff member still didn’t quite believe it. “However, you seem to communicate normally, and you really don’t look like your relationship has come to an end.”

Lysander smiled helplessly. “Is there a possibility that we don’t have feelings for each other, so there’s no question of it ending?”

“If you don’t have feelings, why did you get married?”

Lysander choked up.

Suddenly, Josiah stood up beside her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her outside. “Sorry, we’re not going through with this today.”

Lysander stumbled a bit as he pulled her; her leg injury was still not fully healed, causing her to gasp in pain.

Josiah panicked and immediately let go of her, squatting down and lifting her skirt to check.

Seeing

ng the white bandages still wrapped around her calf, he winced in pain. “I’m sorry.”

Lysander took a step back, letting her skirt fall back down to cover her injured ankle. “If you something to say, say it properly. What’s the rush?”

Josiah nodded and asked, “Is it still hurting?”

“It’s alright, not particularly painful. The painkillers for external injuries are working.”

“Let me help you sit down.”

Lysander wanted to refuse, but Josiah had already taken her arm. His large hand was warm yet forceful almost half-supporting her to a nearby metal seat.

As he helped her sit down slowly, Josiah looked at her with some concern.

Lysander said, “Just a few scratches; you’re acting like I’ve got some incurable disease.”

Josiah frowned. “Don’t say nonsense.”

“Do you have a lot of work to do today?”

“It’s alright.”

“Then get this over with quickly so you can get back to work. Don’t delay the important matters.”

“They d

did, sort of. They let me go with the blood collection van. Basically, I just sat there, not having to do anything.”

Josiah nodded. “I’ll figure out a way regarding the house.”

“The legal provisions are clear. What can you do? Can you go beyond the law?”

“Pfft…”

There was a water dispenser not far away from them.

The staff member who had just processed their paperwork was holding a tea cup, casually leaning against her arm. “I told you, you’re divorcing to buy a house, yet you won’t admit it?”
