“Dad, what are you waiting for? Aunt Sarah has been waiting for us for a long time. Dinner is ready. Hurry up and leave."
As the sound of footsteps faded, silence fell over the house.
Ella closed her eyes and let her tears drop onto the floor.
She retrieved the lawyer's numbers she had deleted before. "Hello? I'd like to consult about divorce proceedings."
When she looked at the empty house, Ella lost all desire to stay there and decided to simply move to the research institute.
One day, when she went home to get her things, she found Danny waiting at the door.
For a moment, she froze. Then, pretending not to see him, she opened the door.
Danny's voice echoed behind her. “I’ve been looking for you these past few days, but you never seem to be home. Where have you been?”
After hesitating for a moment, Ella decided to tell the truth. "I went back to Professor Hamilton's laboratory. I …."
But Danny did not listen to her at all. Instead, he scanned the empty room and demanded, “Why are there some things missing from the house?"
Ella clenched her fists and her breathing quickened. Then she took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Danny, let's get a divorce."
