First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Divorce

Caleb Lockwood frowned, put down the flowers and traditional medicine, and calmly took out his phone to call Serena Jennings, but the call didn’t connect.

He never thought there’d be a day when Serena wouldn’t be home, but Caleb played a record as usual, listening to his favorite Chopin Nocturne.

An hour later, no one returned.

Two hours later, no one returned.

Three hours later, no one returned.

Caleb got up and looked at the wardrobe; most of Serena’s clothes were there, all given by him, all pink.

But the two blue suits she had before their marriage were gone.

Then, someone delivered a package.

The recipient was him.

Caleb didn’t remember buying anything.

This package was a huge cardboard box. He opened the packaging, and inside was an array of items—

eternal pink roses, a pink diamond necklace, a pink Hermes bag, bright pink high heels, a pink evening gown, a pink diamond watch, gold ornaments, peach-colored silk scarves, luxury perfumes, a pink diamond brooch, car keys, a pink diamond ring...

Caleb’s face grew increasingly grim, a storm silently brewing in his eyes.

These...

were gifts he had given Serena when he was pursuing her.

That pink diamond ring was the engagement ring.

As Caleb casually rifled through, he found that despite many years passing, the tags on these gifts hadn’t even been removed.

The only thing in the box that didn’t belong to him was a file folder. Caleb casually pulled out the document inside.

City A’s nightscape was beautiful, intoxicating.

The old house on Vornath Street hadn’t been lit for several years; today, against all odds, the lights shone from dusk till late at night.

Serena had spent half a day cleaning the room until it was spotless, though simple, yet clean, and quite cosy.

But previously, she lived there depending on her mother, and now only she was left; claiming she didn’t feel lonely would be a lie.

Serena held her phone, hesitating whether to call Lana Xavier.

Lana was her best friend, from the same high school.

But before she dialed, the doorbell suddenly rang, prompting Serena to hang up and answer the door.

At the door stood Caleb Lockwood—tall and upright—a figure like a towering mountain blocking the way, startling Serena.

"What do you mean?!"

With a crash, Caleb threw the divorce agreement in Serena’s face.

Serena’s face turned red from the impact, witnessing Caleb’s fury for the first time, she fearfully lowered her head.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? Running away from home for no reason—is that something a child does?"

Caleb reached out to pull Serena, but she dodged backwards.

"Caleb, I want a divorce..."

"Why?"

"Because..."

"It’s because of Claire, isn’t it?"

Hearing this, Serena raised her head to see Caleb, arms crossed, with that incredibly handsome face, like a person from a painting, adorned with a disdainful cold smile.

This smile pierced Serena’s eyes.

Seeing Serena’s acquiescence, Caleb found it amusing.

Since Claire Shaw had returned from abroad, their matters definitely couldn’t be hidden, and he hadn’t intended to hide them.
