me to retune, he quickly walked towards the parking k
lot and drove the car directly in front of me
raised my hand, habitually wanting to open the passenger seat, suddenly festixing that he and I were no longer married
I sat in the back seat with utmost calmness, facing the complex and indiscernible gaze of men
The car smoothly drove forward and merged into the traffic flow
you could tell from the half of his face reflected in the rearview mirror that William was in a good mood.
“Could you please increase the temperature? I had pollen allergies and it was even more uncomfortable in the low temperature.”
The mais silently handed me
ded me a pack of tissues.
We were childhood sweethearts, knowing each other since we were young. We dated for years and were married for y years. He knew that I was not allergic to pollen
“Mr. Turner, please call me Ms. Carter or Madelin
“Alright, Madeline. I will be the one to talk to both sets of parents about our divorce ”
William has always liked to take charge of everything about me, and this time was no exception as he took it upon himself once again
Actually, he wasn’t Like this when he was young
When William was a child, he was a little guy, skinny and introverted.
In kindergarten, I was constantly bullied.
As for me, I was outgoing and, due to my young age, I detested evil like an enemy, making me a troublemaker.
Given that his mother always prepared various delicious dishes for me, I had no choice but to take care of him
That was me climbing up the broadcasting platform in the garden with my short legs, announcing to the whole kindergarten.
“William was the one who protected me, Madeline.”
This allowed William to pass through his kindergarten years smoothly, gradually growing up and becoming the school heartthrob in middle and high
Back then, I considered William as my best buddy, but he would constantly pester me to help me catch up on math and insisted that I should take the college entrance exam with him.
Later, I actually went to the same university as he wished.
ne the campen heartthrob of Bookstone University, and also became a stumbling block in my love life
around, even it
as beautiful as a flower and had a cheerful personality, I had countless friends.
For four whole years, not a single boy approached me, let alone confessing their feelings.
On the day of graduation, William took to the Science Musetan at school.
His friend in the student council turned off all lights in the building, leaving only the vast universe that I had never seen before illuminated just for
He held my hand, and I could feel that his palin was all sweaty.
“Maddie, will you marry me? I swear on my life, I will always treat you well.”
op until today, when faced with Willaim, I refused without hesitation.
“Mr. Turner, that is my matter, so please don’t bother yourself, I will handle it well.
The overly polite and distant tone male William un otras lously furrow his brow,
After a moment of allence in the car, he asked me with a hall smille, how I planned to explain it to my parents.
Seeing that I had been silent all along, William let out a sneer.
“Madeline, don’t tell me you regretted it.”
At this moment, I finally managed to tear my gaze away from my phone and turn it towards him.
“Hmm? Can you please drive properly and not get distracted? As for the reason, I already said that I can handle it myself.”
I didn’t want to end up dead on the street with my ex–husband on the first day of being single again.
Hearing my unadorned perfunctory response, the man’s hand gripping the steering wheel tightened more and more.
Music suddenly played in the car, it was William’s phone connected to the car’s Bluetooth that rang, and the ringtone was a sweet and mushy love song popular among young girls nowadays.
William chose to answer the call, disregarding the fact that I was still in the car.
The gentle and sweet voice of the girl echoed throughout the carriage.
The girl pouted and said that she had a whole day of classes today, and in the evening she had to go to the coffee shop to work. Her stomach was almost
starving
William glanced at me and seeing that I remained unfazed, he smiled and said to the girl
“I knew you were hungry, so I went to buy your favorite strawberry bisque and croissants for you.”
After the two of them had chatted for a while, the phone call ended. Without William needing to say anything, I smartly pointed to the intersection ahead.
“Please drop me off at the intersection ahead.”
The black car stopped by the roadside. I had just gotten off and immediately left, looking impatient.
I didn’t clutch my stomach tightly and break out in a cold sweat until the car was out of sight. I felt like I was about to collapse on the sidewalk.
