Why would Vince Yi call? After being suspicious for a few seconds, I pressed the answer button, and said "hello" faintly. Then I heard the deep and magnetic voice again.
"Why are you weak?" Vince's ears were so sensitive which made me admired.
"If you have been hungry for one or two days, let’s see will you have any strength?" I jokingly smiled weakly. When I was face to face with Vince, I might not be so relaxed. I was able to make joke like this on the phone.
"Are you on a hunger strike?" He was taken aback at the phone.
"Yes, I went on a hunger strike. I wanted to get freedom by death, but it's too uncomfortable to be hungry." After I said that exaggeratedly, I even laughed, "I found that I don't have the willpower to lose weight."
"You don't need to lose weight." Vince's indifferent voice echoed in my ears, and I wanted to cry inexplicably. I stayed silent for a long time holding the phone.
After Vince found that I stayed in silence, he asked, "You are not faint because of hunger, are you?"
I shook my head, knowing that he couldn’t see it, but I still habitually shook it a few times, “I’m not dizzy, I’m too hungry for these two days, and I’ve figured it out clearly. My life is my own. I must not torture myself. The stupid woman looking forward to her husband's return has starved to death."
As soon as I finished the words, I could vaguely hear Vince laughing faintly on the other side of the phone.
Should this unsympathetic man could laugh at the news that I was starving to death.
"Mr. Yi..." I called him softly and politely, "Can I make a deal with you?"
"What deal, tell me about it?"
"Find a way to help me divorce." I don't know what I was thinking. Why would I choose to believe in Vince? Maybe I was tired of such a recurring life and want to be relieved.
