“Do you think it’s that easy?” Marley harshly interrupted her and said, “A divorce? Do you think getting married is child’s play? We got married very suddenly, but it didn’t mean that we should get a divorce so quickly.”
Sylvie quivered, she thought about something to say, but as words were about to come out of her mouth, she stopped. She swallowed her words, pursed her lips, and stayed quiet.
He stared at her and was waiting for her reply.
After a brief pause, she said, “The marriage was a mistake. Why should we continue pestering each other because of this mistake? Am I right?”
Marley felt faint upon hearing her. He was about to take a drag off his cigarette, but he slowed down his action.
Her face was fair, her voice was soft and gentle. She always looked so obedient and it still made him jump every time and gave him uncontrollable desires. He took a deep drag and smiled vilely, “What will you do if I say that I want to continue our mistakes until the end?”
Sylvie felt awkward, she smiled plainly, “I just want a divorce! That’s it!”
She just wanted to be free! She thought that they should just walk their own paths!
“I’m sorry, I’m leaving! Goodbye!” she said softly. She then started to walk into the apartment building.
Marley stared at her back as her small figure moved closer and closer towards him, and then, she passed by him with her head hung low. He clenched his fist slightly as if he wanted to do something with his hand, but his hand froze up mid-air.
She was about to go into the corridor. He quickly took large strides and walked over, “Wait!”
Sylvie was forced to halt in her tracks again, “Mr. Hughes, do you need anything from me?”
“Did you read the newspaper?” he suddenly asked.
Sylvie nodded calmly, “Yes, I saw it!”
“What’s on the newspaper isn’t real!” he said desolately.
But Sylvie smiled and said, “That’s none of my business!”
“Sylvie, I won’t get a divorce with you!” said Marley again.
“Not everything will go as you wish!”
Marley was stunned by her words and couldn’t say anything back.
“Marley, let’s get a divorce. Don’t make life difficult for us.” Sylvie’s tone of voice was so calm it made him shiver.
Marley’s whole body tensed up. He looked at Sylvie coldly and stared at her for quite a while.
“Sylvie stared at him as well, her eyes unfocused and empty.
