She took a glance at it and tore it into pieces. I felt pain in my heart. The woman who had been living with me for ten years would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To her, crying was actually a form of release. The idea of divorce which had me obsessed for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer. I came back home on a late night after entertaining my clients.
I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep soon.
When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned away to
the other side on the bed and was soon fast asleep again. She
brought up her divorce conditions. She didn't want anything
from me. However, I was supposed to give her one month's time
before divorce. During the month, we must try as far as possible
to live a normal life. Her reason was simple. Our son would
finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want
him to see our marriage broken. She passed me the agreement
she drafted, and then asked me, "He Ning, do you still
remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day?"
I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed
loudly and thought it was absurd.
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce
intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other
like strangers. Hence, when I carried her out of the bedroom
on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son cheered and
clapped behind us.
