Chapter 160 – A Sacrificial Lamb’s Unexpected Marriage

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Mrs. Samantha was speechless for a while. She couldn’t utter a word. She looked down at Deacon for some seconds, then she asked.

“Now that Oriana is gone, what are you going to do?”

Deacon took in his pale lips into his mouth, and released them almost immediately.

“Life has just returned to the way it used to be. I’m already accustomed to it.” Deacon’s low, weak and self-deprecating voice replied.

Old Mrs. Samantha was in tears as she touched Deacon’s short hair tenderly. She really couldn’t conclude if he had made the right decision. The marriage had ended hastily, and in addition to the scars in his heart, he also suffered physical injuries.

“Okay, grandma is promising you that she won’t go in search of Oriana. Oriana is a good girl, but since you both have chosen to let go, grandma has nothing else to say. Starting from today, you must actively cooperate with the treatment. Be it that of the injury, sleep disorder, or me ntal illness, Deacon, please promise me that you’ll take them seriously.”

Mrs. Samantha was already old, and it was obvious that her years left on earth weren’t lengthy. She could only stay with Deacon for a few more years. Hence she had to made sure that he was fine before she finally left earth.

“Okay.” Deacon responded, and gently closed his eyes.

North quickly opened the door of her apartment.

“Oriana, what’s wrong? Come in.” North pulled the crying Oriana into the house.

“Oriana, why are your hands so cold? Your body is as cold as ice, what happened?” North inquired as she scrutinized Oriana’s body.

In the past, Oriana had a really good blood which always kept her warm. North was fond of hugging her, and it was the first time that she had felt Oriana’s body being so cold.

Oriana had cried until her eyes were swollen. She looked at North, and her weak voice replied,

“North, I’m homeless now. Can you please allow me stay here for some days?”

“What are you talking about? This is your home. You’re free to stay here as long as you want. Tell me what’s going on. Did you run out this late because you quarreled with Mr. Armstead?” North probed inquisitively.

Oriana’s bright pupils became watery, and the tears in her eyes were about to fall.

“No, Mr. Armstead and I are divorced.”

“What?” North felt as if she didn’t hear Oriana correctly. She couldn’t believe her ears.

“You and Mr. Armstead have divorced? Don’t worry, come have dinner first, okay? We’ll talk about this once you’ve eaten.”

North’s chef had already prepared a meal, and had packed it into the refrigerator. North heated the dishes in the microwave and took it to Oriana with a glass of warm milk.

After eating, Oriana narrated what had transpired at the Hendrix’s villa to North.

North slapped the table angrily and hastily stood up.

“Dam n! I really wanna tear that b itch to pieces. But I also didn’t expect Mr. Armstead to do such, gosh!” North expressed her irritation.

n’t say apul…

Oriana lowered her head slowly, and didn’t say anything.

“If you want to go ahead with the divorce, then do. It’s no big deal. A man that can’t control his lower body will perpetually bring embarrassment to you. And I think that it’s best to allow him give you some shares of his income. It’s your right, girl.”

“ I don’t want his money.” Oriana responded.

“What? Oriana, are you kidding me? If you don’t spend his money, are you waiting for him to give it all to Pamela?”

Tears fell from Oriana’s eyes. She just lowered her head and began to cry.

North quickly reached out and hugged her. She patted her on her back and comforted.

“Oriana, why are you crying again? Don’t cry anymore. We don’t need his stinky money. From now on, I’ll curse him everyday, and I’ll see how he will be happy with other women.”

North gritted her teeth angrily and used a tissue to wipe Oriana’s tears. But the tears could not be wiped away. Oriana cried non-stop and her body began to throb.

North was extremely distressed seeing Oriana this way. She grew up with Oriana and was familiar with Oriana’s personality, Oriana was strong, independent and brave. Even when she was sent to the orphanage at the age of nine, Oriana still didn’t cry the way she did now.

“Oriana, stop crying, okay?” A scu mbag like him isn’t worth your tears. Pamela and her mother will laugh at you.” North said softly.

Oriana raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face, but the more she wiped away the tears, the more the tears rolled down.

Oriana looked at North and muttered soberly,

“I know, but I’m still very sad. I really like him. He’s the first man that I like. I really don’t want to divorce him, not at all.”

North stretched out her hands and hugged Oriana, as she allowed her cry on her chest.

Oriana had lost Mr. Armstead.

Dawn the next day.

When Oriana arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Deacon had already arrived. Today, Deacon was clothed in a dark blue coat and a black sweater with a thun high collar.

Even so, his face wasn’t very bright. He wasn’t able to sleep and his face was pale.

As expected, Oriana wasn’t in a good state either. She had cried the entire night. North had massaged.

Oriana’s eyes with a warm water, however, Oriana’s eyes were still very swollen.

Oriana didn’t spare Deacon a glance..

“Let’s go in. She had muttered and headed inside.

They both walked inside and sat on the seats that were offered to them.

The staff handed the divorcement agreement to them.

“Mr. Armstead, Mrs. Armstead, have you two given this a final thought? If yes, please kindly sign below. Then you two will be officially divorced.”

Oriana picked up a pen and signed her name at the designated place..

Deacon watched her sign, then he picked up the pen and also signed his name.

The divorce certificates were soon handed over to them. Oriana walked out as soon as the procedure was over.

Oriana had lost some weight in the past few hours. Her face was pale and one could instantly decipher that she wasn’t happy.

“Where are you headed? I’ll drop you off.” Deacon offered.

Oriana shook her head, and rejected his offer.

“Thank you. But there’ll be no need for that.”

They had both gone silent. The once lovey-dovey couples had become estranged.

“Mr. Armstead.” North called as she walked over and pulled Oriana behind her.

“You and Oriana are now divorced, so you don’t have to offer to drop her off any more. As an ex that you are, I hope that you can disappear from her life gracefully without causing any trouble for Oriana. Oriana, let’s go.

North led Oriana into the Ferrari and drove away.

Deacon stood still as he watched the sport car disappear. He knew that North was angry with him. But he had expected her reaction.

Deacon groaned in pain and shut his eyes.

Secretary Andrew quickly ran over to him and said,

“CEO, let’s hurry back to the hospital. Your injury needs to be treated. Your grandma has hired a professional medical team which will come over to treat you.”

Deacon was severely injured and his condition greatly worried the old lady. Thus she had hired a medical team to come over to treat him. And today, the doctors didn’t approve of Deacon going out.
