It was getting late, so I went downstairs for dinner.
"Come on, Sis Wan. Drover cooked a lot of food today," Marius called out to me.
Drover was also looking at me. "I’m sure you're hungry. We were waiting for you to eat."
Sitting among them and looking at the delicious food in front of me, I smiled and said, "It looks great. Let’s dig in."
I was aware that both of them were watching me constantly when we were eating. I could not bear to be stared at like that and put down my cutlery to look at them. The two of them immediately lowered their heads to eat when I met their gazes.
After letting out a few dry coughs, I opened my mouth and said, "Drover, you know all about what happened already, yes?"
He understood what I was talking about, but to hear me asking him so directly stunned him. He only nodded after a while. "Well, Marius filled me in."
I grinned and responded in a light tone, "I'm divorced now. From today on, I'm free, so I should be happy, right?"
"Are you really happy?" Drover stared at me with deep eyes as if trying to see through me.
"Of course." My expression really did not really resemble that of someone who was sad.
Drover, however, was a little doubtful and was still worried. "Wanda, I know you’re someone who values feelings. Divorce isn’t a trivial matter. How could you not be sad?"
I just smiled after hearing what he said. "The sadness is only temporary. I'm fine now. I feel relieved and relaxed. I’m still pregnant, and I think the child gives me the greatest comfort."
These words came off as overly sincere, and Drover had nothing to say.
Marius finally also relaxed. "That's good. Since Sis Wan said so, then we should believe her. Let’s be happy for her. She’s finally able to free herself from the bitter sea of marriage."
"Yes, it's time to celebrate."
