Until the day before yesterday,she ran into him because of a call from an intern.He picked the shortest route perfectly and arrived at the company on time.
At that moment,she suddenly understood something.
Dale had found his perfect solution.
Her thoughts settled.Lenora took the printed divorce papers and replied calmly,“Thank you.I have thought this through.”
After a marriage,it was best to part peacefully.Tonight,New Year’s Eve,she would make one last farewell meal for him.

On New Year’s Eve,Lenora threw all the dishes she had spent the whole afternoon preparing into the trash.She knew her directionally challenged husband would not come back.
Ten minutes ago,she had seen a post on the intern’s social media.
[Urgent question:What to do if someone is harassing you?]
Almost at the same time,Dale’s car location was moving in the opposite direction of home.
As the New Year bell rang,Lenora received a New Year greeting from Dale Steele,along with a perfunctory promise.
[Happy New Year.I’ll get back as soon as I can.]
“Miss…”The butler stood nearby,his voice a little nervous.“Should we prepare the car to pick up Mr.Steele?”
