Nella was just about to insist she didn’t want them when Alfred’s next sentence came through the phone.

“All of this is written into the agreement, and you’ve already signed it. If you have objections, I’ll withdraw the divorce application tomorrow, and we’ll draft a new one…”

The moment she heard the word “withdraw,” Nella agreed almost without hesitation.

Alfred’s low laughter came through the phone, tinged with faint bitterness.

“Alright. Then tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Just as Nella was about to hang up, Alfred called her name again. “Nella.”

“Yes?”

“For these three years, I’ve failed you.”

“Thanks to you, I’ve made the rich list.”

“Mm. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

The dry exchange left an unspoken awkwardness hanging between them.

“I need to get to class now. See you tomorrow.”

“Alright. See you tomorrow.”

Alfred’s low voice carried a hint of reluctance.

Nella didn’t say anything more and hung up.

Alfred stared at his phone, already silent, the faint smile in his eyes slowly fading.

He knew she didn’t want to stay too caught up with him.
