My words stunned Drover for a moment. His eyes burned as he looked up and asked, "Why not? President Grant is so infatuated with you.
"I heard stories about you two from before. Your relationship is most probably indestructible."
Yes, the media had reported a couple of things between me and Theo, and it was reasonable that others had seen it.
However, only I knew the warmth and cold in between.
I chuckled helplessly. My eyelids lowered as I shrugged. "If it really was indestructible, I wouldn't be here now."
Hearing my depressed tone, concern shone from Drover's gaze. He even patted my shoulder as a sign of comfort. His voice was also filled with worry. “I believe President Grant will come pick you up when he returns from his business trip."
His words sounded full of confidence, but I did not agree with them, "He didn't try to keep me when I left, so why would he come pick me up? Men are quick to empathize, aren’t they?" I said, looking at him.
Hearing this, Drover suddenly laughed. He waved his hand. "Of course not. Those you’re talking about make up only a small portion. Just like how there’s a small portion of women who are bad."
I nodded, not upset by what he said. "Yes, you're right."
"If, and I mean if, President Grant doesn’t come pick you up, what will you do?" Drover asked me cautiously.
I narrowed my eyes. Lips pursed, I smiled and replied indifferently, "Since there’s no relationship between us anymore, why should I stay? I’ll divorce him and start my life again."
It would not be the first time I would experience a divorce, but this time, I would be more reluctant about the parting.
Drover folded his arms together, a little surprised by my reply. "I thought you would try to keep him."
Keep?
