Chapter 199 Getting Remarried Once You’re Free
In the next few days, Lucian didn’t come to Calista like she expected. Calista only got to know about
Lucian paying off her 1.2 million debt through Yara. He disappeared completely.
Lucian and Calista hadn’t been in touch since they divorced. No one mentioned Lucian in front of Calista.
Sometimes, she would come across him being mentioned on the financial news.

But only his name was mentioned and he didn’t appear at all. ‘Lucian Northwood‘ suddenly
legendary character in her world.
Just as this almost slipped Calista’s mind, she received a text from Lucian.
“When are you getting off work?”
She glanced at the text briefly but she didn’t respond. She was busy discussing the proportion details with
the architect of the CrossTime project.

“I’ll be waiting for you downstairs at Baker Group. I have something to tell you.”
“Calista..”
Calista’s phone kept vibrating. The architect put down his laptop.
“Should you reply to your messages first? Maybe there’s something urgent since the messages are
coming in quite frequently.”
“Sorry about that,” Calista replied.
She blacklisted Lucian’s number. After that, her phone was silent the entire time. Her mind was finally at
peace.
The whole project team worked overtime tonight. It was already quite late when they were finished with
work
Calista had already forgotten that Lucian was still waiting downstairs. Even if she did, she wasn’t
convinced that Lucian would still be waiting for her after this long, Calista wasn’t that confident in herself.
Paul bumped into Calista, who was just about to leave.
Tll bring you back.”
It’s fine. I’ll call the cab-
“It’s not safe for a girl like you at this late hour. I don’t wanna see you in the headlines tomorrow.”

Calista wanted to refuse. But they were people who were already teasing them.
“Calista, just go with Mr. Baker now. From his standpoint, all cab drivers are perverts.”
Gossip circulated the fastest in a company. Paul’s affection toward Calista was so obvious. Except for
the bodyguard’s dog, everyone knew about their relationship. Moreover, they saw it with their own eyes.
Paul didn’t feel awkward at all. He admitted right away.
“Come on. Or do you wanna stay here and let them watch how things turn out?” Calista was speechless.
The lift was here. Paul and Calista, who stood in front of everyone, went in first. The remaining ones
waved at them.
“We suddenly realize that we still have some work that needs to be discussed. Calista and Mr. Baker, you
guys can go ahead first.”
The basement was empty late at night. Only a few cars were in the basement. So Lucian’s Maybach stood
out like a sore thumb.
Paul wasn’t aware that Lucian changed his drive so he didn’t recognize his car. But Calista took a ride in it just not long ago.
She could tell it was his car at first glance. When she looked at the indifferent car plate number, she was
positive that this was Lucian’s car.
Lucian narrowed his eyes as he watched them from the car. His hands tightened around the steering
wheel.
Paul and Calista were discussing the renovation issues regarding the CrossTime project. The awkwardness earlier on was washed away by the topic.
Initially, Calista couldn’t focus as she would habitually glance at Lucian’s car. But Lucian had been sitting in the car without moving.
Eventually, her thoughts were distracted by her discussion with Paul, so she no longer paid attention to Lucian.
It could be a coincidence or a purposeful act, but Lucian’s car was parked two lots away from Paul’s car. And the two lots were empty now.
As Calista sat in the car, Paul did a usual checkup on his car as he walked around the car.
She fastened the seat belt. Although she was shielded by the car window, she kept having a feeling that someone was watching her closely.
Calida wasn’t sure whether it was Lucian. She didn’t tum and look either.

But Paul didn’t come in after one minute passed. Calista glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Paul was standing of the right rear tire. He frowned as he looked at the tire.
Was there something wrong?
Calista unfastened her seatbelt. As she was about to get out of the car, the Maybach’s door opened.
Lucian descended from the car and went straight toward Calista.
He opened the car door of the front passenger seat as he looked at her patronizingly.
“Come down. I’ll bring you back.”
Calista frowned
“There’s no need for that. Paul will send me back.”
“Do you think he can still send you back?” retorted Lucian.
He wasn’t even worried that Paul would overhear their conversation as he approached them shortly. Paul
was already on his way when he saw Lucian get out of the car. Lucian continued questioning Calista.
“Or do you want to wait here and let him get his tires changed?”
“Was it you?” asked Paul
Lucian sneered,
“Did you see it with your own eyes? Who knows, maybe it’s someone getting their revenge on you since
you pissed someone off.”
“Then you go ahead and explain. Who would do such a sabotaging act?”
“You’re asking me? It’s not my tire that was punctured.”
Lucian didn’t have the patience to let Calista get out on her own. He bent down and carried her out of the
car. He sent her into the back seat of his Maybach
Paul wanted to stop Lucian. But the truth was he couldn’t send Calista back as well. It wasn’t one tire that
was punctured, but both No workshops would be open at this hour.
Lucian drove fast on the streets Calista wasn’t sure if it was because she got into a minor accident
previously, but she kept feeling that they were about to knock into something as Lucian drove.
But every single time they made it through. But Lucian driving exceptionally fast threw Calista into a panic.

“Lucian, are you crazy?”
Lucian halted the car to a sudden stop as the lights turned red.
“You don’t have to pay me three million. I did as you said when you insisted on filing for a divorce. It’s been this long and I suppose this should be the end of your tantrums. So let’s get our marriage registered
again once you’re free.
