I looked at him with cold detachment, my eyes calmer than they had ever been.
Although, it was entirely forced.
The car was dead silent. Half the air felt thick with agitated heat, the other half crisp with icy indifference. As the two clashed, a strange, suffocating tension bloomed in the confined space.
I could almost hear the fierce pounding of his heart and his ragged, furious breaths.
But it was incredibly strange.
When we were actively married, he had treated me with distant apathy, treating me like I was completely invisible. He ignored every single thing I did, offering zero reaction.
Yet now that we had reached the point of divorce, he repeatedly lost his temper over my affairs, even spouting lines like 'how did he not have the right.' His expression was so bizarre, looking overwhelmingly impulsive while fighting desperately to hold himself back.
Why was he acting like this? What did he actually mean?
It wasn't until a car honked behind us that I snapped back to reality. "The light is green."
Ferris quickly turned back, hitting the gas without another word. A heavy silence settled over the car.
I didn't say anything either. I wished he wouldn't say or ask another thing. We could just quietly handle our business, go our separate ways, and live our own lives.
He truly intended to make a clean break. Even though I had brought up the divorce abruptly, he had come completely prepared, bringing every document needed to transfer Eden Gardens. The entire process took barely any time at all.
