When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Therefore, I chose to leave him.

After a long while, he stood up and walked to the side silently. He lifted the phone and made a call.

“Joseph, send over two sets of clothing.” He hung up and went into the bathroom.

After a while, he came out, and there was a knock at the door. He wrapped a towel around his waist and answered it.

When he came back, he held two bags in his hands. He did not shy away from me at all. He simply changed into his clothes and blow-dried his hair in front of the bed.

I lay in bed while he stood at the window. With a low and reserved voice that held a hint of helplessness, he said, “Here are some clothes. From now onward, I will not bother you anymore. You are free.”

He put the bags on the bedside table. Then, he took his phone and car keys and turned to leave.

“Ashton!” I called out to him.

He stopped in his tracks. His slender back stiffened. He did not turn to look at me but replied faintly. “Yeah?”

I let out the breath of air that I was holding in. Biting on my lips slightly, I said, “If it is possible, I would like for the both of us to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced.”

The air froze instantly. His hands balled up into fists. Veins popped up on the back of his hands.
