Howard Coleman and Madeleine remained silent.
The staff member noticed that something seemed off about their expressions and the joyful smile that had been on their face instantly vanished. After a moment of silence, they spoke again, "Are you here to go through the divorce procedures?"
Howard showed no reaction, and Madeleine, sitting beside him, gently nodded her head.
"Do you have all the documents with you? The divorce agreement, the marriage certificate, the identification cards?"
Madeleine opened her bag, took out all of the documents, and handed them to the staff member. After a quick glance, instead of proceeding with the divorce, they seriously asked the couple, "This is your last chance. Are you sure you want a divorce?"
What surrounded Howard and Madeleine was a long silence. Madeleine clenched her fists tightly; after a while, she nodded at the staff member sitting inside.
