Cornelia said goodnight to Marcus and then headed back to her place.
She heard a woman sobbing a few meters away from the wooden building.
In the deep mountains, in the dead of night, with the rustling sound of leaves in the wind and a woman's crying. All these elements together made a typical horror movie scene.
Cornelia got goosebumps all over her body and was about to run away, but her curiosity made her glance toward the sound.
Not far away, the crying woman was sitting under a tree, with weak light shining on her through the branches.
Cornelia recognized her as Skyler, Zavier's wife, who spoke sweetly and had a precious smile that made people want to protect her.
Why was she crying alone in the middle of the night? Didn't Zavier care about her?
"Stop crying. Tears are useless." From the shadows, Zavier's deep voice sounded.
He was by the tree trunk, but Cornelia didn't see him at first glance because it was too dark.
His tone when speaking to his wife was colder and more distant than that of a stranger. He was completely different from the loving and doting Zavier she had seen during the day.
Skyler wiped her tears as if gathering courage, "Zavier, let's get a divorce!"
"Divorce?" Zavier sneered, grabbing Skyler's chin and lifting her head slightly so she could look him in the eye. "Skyler, do you think you have a say in ending this marriage? You’ve been mine since you schemed your way into marrying me."
What an authoritative and strong man!
Cornelia silently sighed and slipped away.
This afternoon, she had been envious of their seemingly sweet relationship, but who knew they were arguing about divorce behind closed doors?
With more and more people getting divorced nowadays, why do so many still want to get married?
Cornelia returned to her room.
