Chapter 4

Trisha was woken up by a knock on the door in the middle of the night. She opened it to find Celeste standing there, holding her suitcase with one hand.

She smiled a little, her voice sweet and clear, “Can I crash at your place?“–

Trisha handed her a cold Coke, but when Celeste took it, she suddenly slapped her forehead. “Oh, I totally forgot you don’t drink soda! Let me get you some milk instead.”

“No need,” Celeste opened the can and took a sip, “I can drink anything now.”

She used to avoid sodas, cigarettes, and alcohol to prepare for pregnancy, but now that she was getting a divorce, who cared? She would just do whatever that made her happy.

Prep for pregnancy? Let that useless Liam do it himself!

“Are you really getting a divorce with Liam?” Trisha asked, sitting on the other side of the sofa, sounding unsure.

“Yeah,” Celeste paused, then added, “He’s back with Sydney.”

Trisha immediately cursed, “Doesn’t she have any shame? She caused a scene at the wedding, and now she’s back after three years? Are all the men in the world dead? Why does she have to steal someone else’s husband? And what’s up with that jerk Liam? Can’t get enough of that trash?”

Celeste didn’t respond. She felt like she’d been attacked as well.

Trisha coughed, “I’m just making a point, don’t mind the details. So they’re together now, and you’re just gonna let them? Why not let everyone see Sydney’s ugly face? The so–called pure beauty is just a homewrecker!”

“And then what? Let everyone know my marriage failed, and that I’m a pitiful woman who can’t keep her husband?” Celeste sighed, “This marriage is already a failure, I don’t want to make it even more embarrassing and lose all my dignity.”

making it easier for them!” Trisha said.
