Slowly, the black Maybach pulled over at the gate of the villa. When Sebastian unfastened his seatbelt, he noticed that Natalie wasn’t getting off the car. She was staring at an old couple beside the pedestrian crossing. The old woman was holding the old man’s arm as they crossed the road together. It somehow reminded her of something she always read in fairy tales, “And they lived happily ever after.”

‘That’s beautiful,” Natalie exclaimed, her face lighting up along with the setting sun Sebastian’s heart tightened and his voice became hoarse, “Someday, when our hair greys out and our bones go brittle, we’ll be like them”

Natalie shook her head, chuckling under her breath.

“I don’t think so.”

Sebastian clenched the steering wheel, immediately feeling tense.

Thereafter, Natalie looked at him intently and smiled.

“You’re much taller than that old man, so I won’t be able to support you like that.”

Just as Sebastian felt relieved and was about to say something, she cut him off and added in a trembling voice, “Sebastian, I want a divorce.”

For the first time ever, Sebastian’s mind went blank. Despair and disbelief clouded his thoughts and his heart.

“Who talked to you and what did they say?” he asked.

Sebastian had thought that Natalie was merely upset.

He had led himself to believe that after a period of time, she would stop getting angry, and by then, he’d apologize to her again.

Then, everything would be okay again. Not once did he think that they’d get a divorce. Still shaking her head, Natalie looked down while twirling the lace on the hemline of her dress.

“I just want a divorce, Sebastian. I’m exhausted…”

‘Natalie, why do you suddenly want to get a divorce? Everything was fine before!” The way Sebastian narrowed his ajar was daunting

After casting him a glance, Natalie looked down once more Hie intimidating appearance frightened her “’’m not okay with the fact that you’ve been lying ta me, Sebastian! I can no longer trust you and in a marriage trust is the most important thing.”

Sebastian knew that he did lie and Natalie was indeed mad, but there was definitely more to the story so he was patient with her.

“Are you hiding something from me?”

Natalie shook her head again.

No matter what he said, she didn’t want to say another word

Sebastian rubbed his temples and closed his eyes as he sat in the driver’s seat in silence for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, he said, “I will never agree to a divorce, Natalie.”

The setting sun finally slid down the horizon, and everything around them turned dimmer. Sebastian couldn’t see her face clearly anymore.

‘lll pretend that I didn’t hear what you said today. Never mention it again,” he said in a soft voice.

The car was filled with a thick silence.
