Beyond the Divorce

Ivanna spoke while setting down her spoon. She had eaten a lot, and her face seemed to have gained a healthy flush.

"She's in Foswood now?" I said casually, not paying much attention to Kimberly.

After finishing her meal, Ivanna comfortably laid down on the sofa. "Oh. When can I have lots of money, do nothing, and wait for good food and drink to fall from the sky? That would be so nice." I looked at her lazy posture and chuckled sarcastically, "Haha... living off others and waiting to die, isn't that against your character?"

She chuckled as well, "People are fickle."

"If you want this kind of life, it's simple. Forget about your so-called ideals and aspirations, marry Jared, and be a full-time housewife. Then you can lie down and wait for things to fall from the sky."

My words were meant to be a playful joke, but I noticed she fell silent as soon as I said them. I stared at her face and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

She sighed bitterly and softly said, "A full-time housewife? That was never my dream. Do you remember the words I said to you before your divorce?"

"Of course. I know your principles." I replied, dropping the playful tone and speaking seriously.
