He drove specifically, detouring through the crowded and narrow old town area, to buy the small cake that Eline likes to eat the most.
When he arrived, it just so happened that there was none left.
He furrowed his brow and had to negotiate with the previous customer to give him one.
But the person happened to be buying it for his own wife, and he was also very reluctant.
Vincent spoke unconsciously.
“Okay, I’ll pay five times the price, just give me one. My wife loves to eat it too.”
As soon as the words fell, he felt like something had stabbed him in the heart.
Until I heard the sound of agreement from the other party.
He just came to his senses.
The car had been driving for a long time, and when it arrived home, it was already dark.
Vincent set down what he was holding with a hint of surprise.
He shouted Eline’s name towards the house.
But there was no response from anyone.
The empty house was devoid of any signs of life.

He had just turned on the light when he noticed a piece of A4 paper and a dark red notebook on the coffee table in the living room.
Vincent’s heart suddenly trembled.
Without thinking too much, he rushed over without even changing his
shoes.
He picked it up and froze when he saw the words on top.
Divorce certificate?
How could it be a divorce certificate?
When did he divorce Eline? Why didn’t he know?
“Eline, you’ve had enough!”
“This joke is not funny at all!”
He gritted his teeth and spoke angrily towards the house.
The only response to him was still a room of calm.
Vincent averted his gaze and once again landed on the divorce certificate.
He slowly raised his other hand, wanting to turn the page and see the name of the person in the book.
But his hand just wouldn’t listen.
It was such a simple thing, but he made it so difficult.
I saw it two or three times, but I didn’t turn the page.
Vincent took a deep breath, steadied himself, and opened the divorce certificate.

The sudden appearance of Eline and his name made him momentarily unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
“Fake, this must be fake! he said, his face tense.”
He never signed anything, so how could he have obtained a divorce certificate?

The A4 paper that suddenly slipped from his hand once again caught his
attention.
He bent down to pick it up, only to discover his own signature.
Vincent’s hand froze in midair.
He couldn’t control the trembling.
Those dusty memories were awakened. On the day of their wedding, he remembered the scene of him holding Eline’s hand to sign the divorce agreement, playing back in his mind.
Suddenly, he clenched his fists and stood up.
Ignoring the divorce agreement on the ground, he instead strode towards
the house.
“Eline, who told you I was going to divorce? Did you really have to go behind my back to get a divorce certificate for such a trivial matter? Is there something you’re unhappy about that you can’t tell me? Did I give you permission to divorce?”
He seemed to have an endless stream of grievances to vent, and he blurted them all out at once.
Vincent walked while shouting towards the house.
He didn’t realize until he reached the master bedroom door that the door

was slightly ajar and inside was eerily quiet.
Vincent’s words were instantly choked back.

It seemed as if he was afraid of disturbing Eline, who was sleeping in the bedroom.
He even seemed extra cautious when pushing open the door.
When the door was fully pushed open, there was no sign of Eline on the bed.
The panic deep inside surged crazily once again.
He pushed open the bathroom door quickly, without…
He searched every corner of the guest room, study, and every part of the house, but still found no trace of Eline.
She left, but she didn’t take her clothes with her.
Why?
Were those all gifts from him to her?
Vincent felt a dull pain in his chest and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He angrily kicked over the nearby trash can.
“Eline, you are really something!”
Vincent took out his phone, about to call Eline.
It was then realized that the message in the afternoon had never been sent
out.
I had already been blocked by Eline!

And Eline’s phone also showed a switched–off status.

All the contact information he could know, Eline had already dealt with.
Vincent fiercely punched the wall.
He also didn’t know what he was angry about.
Not long ago, the person who said he was tired of Eline was actually him.
Suddenly, Vincent seemed to think of someone.
He then called George instead.
The phone was answered quickly, before the person on the other end could speak, Vincent quickly asked.
“George, I couldn’t reach Eline. Do you know where she went?”
“Oh? Didn’t you take her home to rest? It’s not good to not rest properly after a miscarriage, you should take care of your body.”
Vincent’s pupils suddenly shrank.
“What did you say?!”
