Skyla’s body trembled. She finally broke down, letting out a sob before covering her face and running out.
Aiden remained frozen, his head lowered as he stared at his phone. He didn’t look up again.
When we got home, Aiden’s face was dark with anger, and his voice was laced with resentment. “Lily, I told you-
I only came back home on the condition that we let this go. You didn’t keep your word.”
I let out a small laugh. “Yeah, I broke my promise. So? What are you going to do about it?”
Aiden was silent for a long time. He stared at me, his voice carrying the kind of cold finality that came when someone completely gave up. “Then, we have no choice but to get a divorce.”
I nodded. “Okay.”
He stiffened, his face flashing with disbelief.
I walked into the bedroom, pulled out a document, and handed it to him. “Here’s the divorce agreement. Look it over and let me know if you have any issues.”
His eyes widened as he took it with stiff fingers, gritting his teeth. “You… When did you prepare this?”
I narrowed my eyes, tilting my head slightly as if I were thinking. “When, huh? Oh, right. On Chloe’s birthday. The same day you took Skyla out to dinner.”
Aiden’s entire body jerked. He looked at me, his face turning ghostly pale.
