Ella gave a faint laugh and shook her head. “Nothing. You misheard.”
She didn't plan to tell him now. Divorce was a sure thing anyway and with John's college entrance exams just days away, it was better to wait until after the exams.
But Danny's instincts told him it wasn’t that simple. Her smile didn’t ease his uneasiness at all.
Over the next few days, he packed a few belongings and moved back into their old home to live with her again.
Ella knew that he only did this because he felt guilty, not because he loved her. Therefore, she had no intention of changing her mind. She wouldn't gamble her life away again for his illusory, fleeting affection.
After staying for a few days, as if to make sure Ella was acting normal, Danny soon announced he had to go on a business trip and would be away for several days.
But she merely gave a light “Mhm." and a flash of strange emotion rose in his heart.
He asked reluctantly, “Aren't you going to ask where I'm going?”
“You're an adult. You don't need to report your whereabouts to me.”
