Serena Jennings gazed at Ethan White and smiled slightly.
Ethan White seemed to see colorful fireworks reflected in those big, sparkling eyes.
"I’ll listen to you."
Serena Jennings picked up the phone and hung up the call.
It wasn’t long before the phone rang again, and it was Caleb Lockwood calling.
Serena Jennings hung up again.
When Caleb Lockwood called for the third time, Serena Jennings handed her phone to Ethan White, indicating for him to answer it.
Because she believed that once Caleb Lockwood knew she was with Ethan White, he would certainly stop bothering her with calls.
"Hello?"
In the hospital room, Caleb Lockwood heard Ethan White answer Serena Jennings’s call, his fingers immediately tensed.
"Is Serena Jennings with you?"
"Of course she is."
Ethan White answered resolutely, "I’m on a date with Serena, watching fireworks."
He deliberately moved the phone away so Caleb Lockwood on the other end could hear the sound of fireworks.
The sound of fireworks pounding as if hitting Caleb Lockwood’s chest, he couldn’t help but cough several times.
"Let Serena Jennings answer the phone."
Caleb Lockwood’s commanding tone made Ethan White startled, then Ethan White smiled.
"Caleb Lockwood, don’t you understand? It’s precisely because Serena doesn’t want to answer your call that I’m the one answering instead."
The other end, Caleb Lockwood took a deep breath.
And then there was a long silence.
Caleb Lockwood didn’t make a sound nor hang up the phone.
Ethan White also remained silent and didn’t hang up.
Serena Jennings absentmindedly drank her beverage.
She could guess why Caleb Lockwood was calling her.
By this time, the divorce agreement should have already reached Caleb Lockwood.
Caleb Lockwood is a smart man; instead of going to Country C for a divorce court battle he is certain to lose, it would be wiser to just sign the divorce agreement.
In this divorce agreement this time, Serena Jennings was not leaving with nothing but instead had reasonably divided the marital property between her and Caleb Lockwood, evenly splitting their shares in The Lockwood Group.
Therefore, this divorce agreement is more judicious than a legal divorce for Caleb Lockwood and more beneficial for him.
As a businessman, the choice is obvious.
In the hospital room, after a long silence, Caleb Lockwood took a deep breath.
"Serena Jennings—!"
Ethan White quickly moved the phone away from his ear, or else he would likely be deafened.
Even without the speaker on, Caleb Lockwood’s shout from the other end still reached Serena Jennings’s ears loud and clear.
"I will never sign the divorce agreement, never!"
After shouting, Caleb Lockwood hung up the call.
Serena Jennings looked surprised.
Next to her, Ethan White’s brows furrowed deeply.
"If Caleb Lockwood refuses to sign the divorce agreement, what do you plan to do?"
Serena Jennings took a deep breath and forced a bitter smile.
"Then we’ll just have to go to court."
She picked up her drink and silently bit her straw.
It seems this time, she and Caleb Lockwood are really going to end up in court.
The first love who once shared hardships and vowed eternal love...
In the end, they have to face off against each other in court...
Serena Jennings couldn’t understand why Caleb Lockwood chose this path.
She took her phone back from Ethan White and made a call.
"Lawyer Yao, I’ll be there tomorrow, please schedule an appointment with Judge Chen for me."
The fireworks show ended, the night sky filled with the scent of smoke.
