Right now, he had been backed into a corner and wanted to send me down the spiral again, so he used the same words to trigger me.

I didn’t even frown, the stillness made him tremble.
He gritted his teeth and took Sophie away, but it was clear he was trembling from fear.
“Wait.”
He turned around quickly, “I knew you regretted-”
Unexpectedly, I interrupted him, “To prevent you from going back on your word, I’ll see you at the attorney’s tomorrow morning.”
Mark shuddered slightly and gritted his teeth, “Don’t worry, I will not go back on my words! I want a divorce!”
After they left, I laid there and ate the apple slowly.
Ralph saw me wallowing and thought I was sad. He scratched his head and awkwardly
comforted me, “Well, if you are sad, just cry. Just like in the movies, I think you will feel better if you cry.”
I was amused, “Do you know that if a man says this to a woman in the movies, the woman will eventually fall deeply in love with him?”
Ralph’s face instantly turned red. He avoided my gaze and said hesitantly, “Well, it seems my worries are unnecessary.”
I replied, “I’m glad that you are aware of it. I do feel uncomfortable, but it’s not because I’m getting a divorce, it’s because my fever hasn’t gone down yet.”
Ironically, my ex–husband never noticed this at all.
Ralph was a little surprised, “Are you really not sad?”
I shook my head, “I’m not sad. In fact, I feel relieved.”
Ralph said nothing more.
I took out my phone and unlocked it.
Now that we are getting divorced, my stigma of many years should be washed away too.
Sophie, if you want to step all over me and have parents who love you and a wealthy husband, you are going to have to ask for my consent!
