It was as though she was finally freed from the shackles of her past.
The feeling of being liberated was so overwhelming that her whole body was trembling.
I'm finally free.
She would no longer allow herself to harbor the faint hope of reuniting with Kane and find excuses for him every time he hurt her, telling herself that he did those things for a good reason.
Who am I kidding? I was my own prisoner, but I no longer am.
I'm going to have a new life after this.
While Amora sat on that chair, tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Clutching her chest, she wanted to cry her heart out.
But as she took a deep breath, she realized that her aching heart did not allow her to do so.
She felt as though her heart had been pierced through with a dagger.
Amora remained at the Ronin residence the whole afternoon.
Since Kane had indicated that he would have the divorce papers sent over, she wanted to be there when the documents arrived.
But hours had passed, and there was still no sign of Kane.
After a while, Amora grew drowsy from getting too worked up earlier on and fell asleep in the house.
When Matteo and lan came over for their mother, they saw a sleeping Amora.
They then scuttled to their grandfather.
"Grandpa, is Mommy sleeping?"
Chris was looking intently at a booklet in his hand when a child's voice broke his daze.
He quickly put down the booklet and replied, "Yeah, she's asleep.What are you guys doing here? I thought you were spending time with your uncle?"
"We did.But we've got to go back now,’ said Matteo smilingly after checking the time on his smartwatch.
It's about time to pick Vivian up from her preschool, or the crybaby will surely kick up a fuss if we're late.
After hearing that Matteo intended to go home, a hint of hesitation crept up the old man's face as he looked at his grandson and asked tentatively, "Well, I was thinking...maybe you could sleep here tonight and spend some time with me?"
"Huh?"
Chris's unexpected suggestion startled the boys.
lan did not resist that idea as he had spent a lot of time here growing up.
Matteo, on the other hand, was instantly filled with reluctance.
He was not used to sleeping in a strange place without his parents.
