"Are you sure you don't need me to go with you?"

Martin asked me for the third times since this morning about my appointment to the City Hall of Chicago. We flew together yesterday because I need to sign some important documents that needed to renew the business licence and operations agreement of my first restaurant. He insisted to go with me to meet my friends and to finally see my outlets. And I also need to personally file the documents because Noelle has an important schedules for today.

"Yup, don't worry. I'm used to this." I answered getting my bag and my phone from the couch.

"Okay. Take care, babe. Text me if you need some backup or if your ex-husband surprised you again."

I chuckled when he flexed his two biceps in front of me.

"I'm serious! I can kick him on his balls!"

I end up coughing after of laughing so hard in his one of a kind jokes.

"Okay, fine. But do the first things you really wanted to do.. or GO to the place and person you wanted to visit." I teased him with a raised eyebrow and smirk on my lips.

"Huh! What are you talking about?" he said acting surprised and he turned his back on me.

I shook my head while grinning and followed him in the kitchen.

"Ohh.. Martin-babe, do you really think I didn't know your real reason for going back with me here in Chicago? Come on, Martin!"

"Fine! But I'm serious, Madi. If you need some help, don't hesitate to call me or send me a message, okay?"

"Okay. Thanks babe." I winked at him.

He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "Take care."

"Yup... I will. Bye."

I can't help not to inhaled deeply the moment I stepped out of the taxi and the building of Chicago City Hall came to my view. It's been three years since the last time I entered this building, and that was when we registered our marriage in the Civil Registry.

After how many minutes of contemplating my thoughts, I decided to enter the building and headed my way to my purpose department.

Thirty minutes later.....

"Ma'am, I'm sorry but the name in your ID doesn't match with the name listed on our system."

I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked directly at the lady inside the both.

"I - I'm sorry? What do you mean my ID name doesn't match on your system?"

"Yes, Ma'am. Are you sure you're still with the name Davis?"

I was taken aback with her question.

"Y-Yes. I don't remember changing my name for the past three years."

That's true because even after our wedding I didn't register myself as Wilsons here, so that means I am still Davis on their system.

"Can you please check it again? I have some other IDs here, if you want you can check the details." I said giving her my other IDs.

But after three minutes, she gave me back all of it including all the papers I submitted to her earlier, while she's shaking her head.

"I'm really sorry Ma'am, but you're no longer listed as Davis on our system."

"W-What?"

"We can't process your documents with the IDs you have right now. But if you want Ma'am, you can go back anytime and present your ID with the name Wilsons."
