Beyond the Divorce

I softly comforted her, "Wait for him to finish his tasks, and then let him give you a proper explanation. There's no way for you to contact him right now, so being angry only affects you.

"You're not a child. Be calm, since you're prepared not to rely entirely on him. Don't make yourself look lost. Even in deep love, learning to be independent is a wise approach. That's what you advised me back then."

"Heh... I underestimated you. I forgot how you felt when you first discovered Matthew's affair," she teased me, "Feeling ignored is terrible. Chlo, I'm a bit tired. I can't understand him. It's exhausting."

Her words were undoubtedly her true feelings. Jared was indeed a person not easily understood.

With her head drooping, she sighed, "I'm going. I want to go home and sleep. This damn job is truly inhumane."

After saying that, she stood up and fixed her hair, still tired.

"Well, you go back and rest. What do you want to eat tonight?"

I observed her, knowing she was in a bad mood and feeling obligated to accompany her. "Or, how about we make plans with Lauren? The three of us can go out and have some fun?"

"No need. I'm quite full from this meal. I'm like a camel, good at storing food. I just want to go to sleep. You go home after work and enjoy your time. Don't mind me. I want a natural wake-up." She picked up her large bag and slung it over her shoulder. "I'm off."

"Do you have your car? If not, I can drop you off," I said as I followed her outside.
