Chapter 4

I sat down across from Sawyer at his invitation. Since she'd just gotten pregnant, he still looked slender overall.

"You wanted to see me? I've agreed to the divorce." I told him my decision directly.

To my surprise, Sawyer started crying. "Why are you crying? I already agreed to the divorce." I was completely baffled.

He just kept wiping away tears. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

His tears even made my heart soften.

"You haven't wronged me in any way. You're not the one who made Vivian lose her memory. These things happen—there's nothing anyone can do." I took a sip of my latte. Usually I drank coffee like water, but today for the first time I found latte so bitter. "You and she already have a child. In the future, just live your lives well."

Sawyer cried in hiccups. "I didn't want this. Really, I didn't want this."

As people around us began focusing attention on our table, for the first time today I felt powerless.

"Stop crying." I resignedly began wiping his tears. "I don't blame you. Really."

"Sawyer!" Just then, the café door was violently pushed open and Vivian rushed in like a gust of wind.

"I didn't think you were this shameless!" She grabbed my wrist hard, as if trying to break my wrist bone. "Sawyer did nothing wrong. If you have complaints, take them out on me!"

Wait, when did I not notice Vivian had vision problems?

"Are you sick? Why would I make things difficult for him?"

"Vivian, Adrian didn't make things difficult for me. Let him go."

Vivian flung my hand away hard. "Thud"—my hand slammed hard into the table edge.

"Hiss." I was about to go into the mountains soon. If I sprained my hand, that would be trouble.

However, I'd still underestimated how unreasonable Vivian could be. She pulled Sawyer around, checking him left and right, and found he'd only cried until his eyes were swollen.

"Listen here, Adrian. I'm the one who insisted on divorcing you. If you dare trouble Sawyer again, I absolutely won't let you off."

How was my judgment so poor back then? This woman not only had bad eyes, but a bad brain too.

"Let me tell you something too, Vivian. We're definitely getting divorced. Also..." I raised my hand and slapped her across the face. "Since you're so eager to divorce, bring the agreement soon and stop wasting my time."
