However, things did not go as planned.
Cecilia had booked two banquet halls on Aug 1 -- one to celebrate Lucas's birthday, the other to discuss divorce details with Nicholas.
It is believed that Nicholas brought along five lawyers that day, while Cecilia was accompanied by two solicitors. The group reportedly took 12 hours to discuss the terms of their divorce.
An insider spilled contents of the discussion, saying that Cecilia "wanted to live with her two children and Nicholas was agreeable to that".
"However, he set many conditions for Cecilia to follow. Cecilia said she did not want alimony, because she felt that the children belong to them both. She asked Nicholas to contribute to their boys' education," he added.
The pair was said to be finalising their divorce in a year.
Cecilia recently signed on to New Asia Entertainment Group for eight years at a whopping price of HK$480 million (S$75 mil), to prove that she was not interested in Nicholas's money.
A production house would be set up under her name, and Cecilia would be marketed as an artiste, producer and owner. The company was said to resemble Nicholas's production company Chao Ting and is believed that the couple would continue their battle on the business front.
"Cecilia said that she will not take a single penny from the Tse family. All she wanted is her two children," Cecilia's new manger Yu Yu Xing said recently.
Commenting on the lucrative contract terms, Yu Xing expressed, "This is confidential. Cecilia is a worthy investment. I believe she would be able to bring in profits in the future."
In other related news, Nicholas appeared at the Hong Kong airport at 9am yesterday, to travel to China, where his new drama series would be shot. When probed by the media, the actor merely smiled but did not make a comment.
Replying to rumours, which said that the pair might be giving their marriage another try, Nicholas' manager Mani Fok said, "Everything would be resolved very soon."
