When they finished the final stage of the divorce process, it was noon and the sun was hot.
Ferne held an umbrella in one hand and then fished out the buzzing phone with the other. He soon gasped duet to overreacted excitement after he heard a piece of news from the other side of the phone. Damn! The wound hurt! He shouldn't be that emotional!
He slowly exhaled and said, "I see."
Lili asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's fine. Let me take you home." Ferne responded. He was texting Sachs.
"By what? You can't even take a ride." Jones, with her head leaning towards one side, shoot a glance at him. Shadowed by the sunglasses, Ferne's dazzlingly charming side face was smiling.
Ferne didn't realize this until he finished his text, " Oh, yeah. Then you can take a taxi. I'm leaving. "
Lily walked a few steps and suddenly turned around, "Who were you texting to?"
"Just a friend."
"Perhaps your lover?" Lily said with a tone of a bit jealousy, "Look at you. You just smiled from ear to ear. "
Ferne fell in silence.
"Alright." Lily took the umbrella from his hand. "Give me a call if you have any good news. For all that we'd got a divorce, I would like to show up at your wedding party if you invite me."
"There won't be a wedding." Ferne smiled weakly at her.
It was not an easy thing. Who was the husband? Sachs married him? Noah probably said no. And his parents would definitely kill him in the house when they heard the news.
Just as what happened yesterday, Jones packed up and moved out as soon as she was discharged from the hospital. Ferne's parents, acted like there was nothing wrong between them and made Ferne make peace with Lily yesterday evening. Although Lily was born in a pretty rich family and crazy about facelifts, she knew what could and couldn't be done. She liked messing around with those ridiculous 'plastic faces', but she deserved the honor of Mrs. Dalton in comparison with those women who had an affair.
So when Ferne told his parents about the divorce, they asked unbelievably, "What were you saying?"
"We're filing a divorce." Ferne thought that the physical injury and the fact that he was just discharged would earn him a light sentence. However, Mr. Dalton took the golf stick and wanted to hit his son's face before Lady Dalton would respond.
Ferne was scared.
That night was so horrible that one could hardly bear to recall. Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Dalton still turned their back on Dalton. The last sentence thrown to their son was, "Alright, let's see who you want to marry!"
Ferne held his tongue and tried not to spit out the sentence: I'm not going to get married anymore.
He just got out of the hospital and brought up the matter of divorce. If his parents knew he was gay, he would die immediately, pretty sure for the random strike of golf stick.
Noah did not text back. Ferne updated a post about him holding a divorce certificate on the main road. Plus, he also added:
"From now on I'm free and independent."
This set off a craze in the comment sections and his phones rang all day.
Ferne muted his phone. He flipped through text messages while waiting for the response from Noah, and found a message from Noah' sister several days ago, saying,
"I've moved out. My brother now lives alone. This is the chance, Mr. Dalton."
Noah was the only person Ferne wanted to share the news with, but he had to drop by the Peck's firstly to take back something left by Trevor Peck.
To Ferne's surprise, Trevor finally moved out of the attic. If Christy and Trevor hadn't moved out on the same day, he wouldn't find out the secret between them.
Trevor moved in with Christy.
Living Together?
Trevor?
Living with Christy?
Ferne was completely shocked when he first heard the news. He could hardly picture how Trevor and Christy would live together.
If he wasn't hospitalized at that time, he would like to witness the special moment when Trevor walked out of the house. It had been many years since he saw Trevor's face. But Christy had even secretly lived with Trevor without telling him.
Ferne had to admit that Christy and Noah were really something. One captured Trevor's heart on the sly, while the other was attracted to him as time went by.
Ferne felt a bit bashful when he thought about that.
He became serious all of a sudden when he thought of Noah.
Noah, the man who made him love and hate, was not easy to pick up.
Ferne took out his phone and checked. Apart from some calls from those fair-weather friends, there wasn't any message from Noah. Instead, Jaquan and Randy sent a congratulation emoji in the chat group. And Armando who was out of touch for a long time also sent him a red packet.
He was shocked.
After having a long chat with his friends on the phone, Ferne waved down a taxi in which he laid on the back seat.
The driver didn't say anything.
Ferne said to the driver as he was texting, "To the Peck's." When the car started up, he added, "Be slow. My lower back hurts."
The driver was speechless.
Ferne paid and got out of the car after he arrived at the Peck's. The driver called him just when he walked a few steps, "Hey, you dropped something."
"What?" Ferne took it. His face darkened when he saw it.
