Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

Archie Lockwood shot a vicious glare at Leo Joyce. "I asked you over to drink with me, not to lecture me and piss me off."

"Fine, I’ll drink with you! I can’t be bothered with your affairs!" Leo Joyce rolled his eyes, utterly exasperated.

’He’d never seen someone try to win a person back with such an arrogant attitude! Wanting to reconcile, yet still bringing up her faults every single day...’

Hearing Leo Joyce’s words, Archie Lockwood frustratedly poured a glass of wine, tilted his head back, and downed it in one go.

Leo Joyce watched Archie drink, ignoring him. He pursed his lips. ’Now I finally understand why Archie hasn’t had a woman all these years! Eleanor Bishop is probably the only woman in the world who could put up with his temper.’

The next day at breakfast, Howard Rhodes walked over, holding a file.

He placed the file beside Archie Lockwood’s hand and said respectfully in a low voice, "Boss, this is the schedule we’ve compiled for Miss Bishop’s recent activities."

Hearing this, Archie Lockwood’s expression shifted slightly. He then leisurely took a napkin, wiped the corner of his mouth, and finally picked up the schedule.

Howard Rhodes watched his boss’s brow furrow deeper and deeper, and he felt a flicker of unease. Suddenly remembering something, he added in a low voice, "Miss Rory’s plane lands at 10 a.m. this morning. Boss, will you be going to pick her up?"

"Mhm..." Archie Lockwood looked up and answered quietly.

"Miss Shannon is also returning with Miss Rory this time."

At the mention of Miss Shannon, Archie Lockwood’s expression soured. "What’s she coming back for!?"

"Apparently, her cousin is having a birthday."

"Oh..." Archie Lockwood replied coolly. He lowered his head and looked back at the schedule in his hand, his gaze fixed on the two words ’physical therapy’.

He still had no idea what her physical condition was. "I’m giving you one day. Find out exactly what Eleanor Bishop’s condition is!"

"Yes."

「Airport.」

Archie Lockwood watched the crowded arrivals gate. When a tall, stunning figure appeared alongside his Cutie, his brow furrowed in displeasure.

Clearly, the woman had spotted him first, and a gentle smile instantly bloomed on her coolly beautiful face.

The woman took off her glasses, took Shirley Lockwood by the hand, and jogged over to them.

As soon as Shirley Lockwood reached Archie’s side, she grinned and yelled, "Dad, long time no see!!!"

"Mhm..." Archie replied with a stony face, just nodding.

He clearly didn’t share Rory’s excitement.

Shirley Lockwood immediately crossed her arms, pouting. "Dad," she huffed, "do you hate seeing me or something?"

"At least you’re self-aware." Archie shot her a cold look, offering no quarter.

Hearing this, Shirley Lockwood’s expression fell. She raised a small hand and charged. "ARGH! You stinking dad! How dare you act like you can’t stand me! I missed you so much, and you dare to act like you can’t stand me?!"

Shannon Vance stifled a laugh and caught the small hand Shirley Lockwood was swinging at Archie. "Alright, now, don’t be angry. Of course your dad missed you."

"Hmph! Look at him! How could he have missed me? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come back. It’s not like it matters where I go to school," Shirley Lockwood said, tilting her head indignantly.

Archie Lockwood’s brow twitched. "If you really don’t want to be back," he said coldly, "I can send you back to Country M right now."
