Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

Archie Lockwood’s handsome face was cold and grim as he looked at Shirley Lockwood, feeling a headache coming on.

’He didn’t need to guess or even ask what this little rascal was thinking. He knew exactly what she meant...’

Fearing Archie Lockwood would refuse, Eleanor Bishop quickly chimed in with a smile. "Okay, then! I’ll sleep with Rory tonight."

At her words, Archie Lockwood shot an angry glare at Eleanor Bishop.

’Does she really want to avoid sleeping with me that badly?’

Under Archie Lockwood’s glare, Eleanor Bishop blushed guiltily and asked, flustered, "I want to sleep with Rory. You wouldn’t disagree, would you?"

Archie Lockwood desperately wanted to say no. ’But can I?’

’If I say no, there’s no telling how that little rascal Rory will try to sabotage me or what she’ll say behind my back.’

Just then, Howard Rhodes rushed in.

"Boss, Mayor Bishop is here personally to pick her up."

The moment she heard Mayor Bishop had arrived, Eleanor Bishop smiled and started to get up from the sofa. "My dad’s here?"

Seeing her move, Archie Lockwood quickly stepped over and stopped her. "What do you think you’re doing? You’re still planning on leaving with him?"

"My dad is here for me, so of course I have to go. Archie Lockwood, please, just let me leave with him." ’Even though I want to sleep with Rory and spend more time with her, I’m scared of Archie. I don’t understand why he wants me to stay here at all.’

’All in all, this is just too dangerous...’

"Eleanor Bishop!" Archie Lockwood’s voice was tight with fury. He gripped her arm, refusing to let her get up.

His grip was so tight that Eleanor Bishop’s delicate brows knitted in pain. "Ah... it hurts... Y-You’re hurting me..."

At her words, Archie Lockwood immediately let go of her arm. He warned her sharply, "You’ll do as I say. Stay here. You are not to go with your father!"

"Why?" Eleanor Bishop asked, tears welling in her eyes from the injustice.

Archie Lockwood pulled her into a fiercely possessive embrace. "There is no why. When your father comes in, you are not to agree to go back with him."

...

Seeing her aggrieved expression as she lowered her head to think, Archie Lockwood’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He threatened her once more, his voice stern, "Don’t try to play any games with me. You know perfectly well what will happen if you don’t listen to me. I can absolutely guarantee that your father..."

"I understand! I won’t go back with my dad, okay?" Hearing his threat, Eleanor Bishop didn’t dare to disobey. She was terrified, nodding repeatedly.

"Good girl..." A satisfied smile touched Archie Lockwood’s lips. He reached out and gently stroked Eleanor Bishop’s hair. "As long as you’re obedient, I’ll take care of everything."

Eleanor Bishop looked up at Archie Lockwood, stunned. ’Why do I keep getting the strange feeling that he’s talking to me like I’m his lover?’

’I’ve never seen him look so gentle, not even when we were together before.’

Noticing Eleanor Bishop’s dazed expression, Archie Lockwood simply gave her a gentle smile. Then, he looked up at Howard Rhodes and said in a cold voice, "Show Mayor Bishop in."

"Yes, sir."

A moment later, Howard Rhodes escorted Mayor Bishop into the room.

The moment Mayor Bishop walked in, his eyes landed on Shirley Lockwood. Seeing the little girl, who looked exactly like Eleanor Bishop as a child, his heart instantly warmed to her.

He walked over to Shirley Lockwood and said with a warm smile, "You must be Rory, right?"

"Mr. Mayor, you know me, too???" Shirley Lockwood stared at the strange man in surprise. She pointed at herself and tilted her head, asking blankly.
