Chapter 6

The sun was shining bright when she walked out of the hospital.

She lifted her head to look at the sun. The sun was always shining warmly and it shined in all its glory. The light from the sun was blazing yet warm, and it made people feel warm and fuzzy.

Unlike the stars. The stars could only shine their dim and weak light in the cold and dark night sky.

Once the sun came up, the stars instantly lost their brightness, leaving no traces of them.

Skyler confessed that Camilla was like a sun in his life.

She, though, could only remain like those useless stars.

Her phone rang, and it showed Skyler’s caller ID.

He was calling first?

With her hands slightly trembling, Estelle nearly dropped her phone. “Hello, Skyler?”

“Have you signed the papers?” Skyler threw her that question with no greetings.

She choked. “...”

“Estelle Sanders, you better not be up to one of your tricks.”

“I’m not playing any tricks. I’ve already signed the papers. I have always kept my promises.”

Skyler replied quickly, “I’ll have Zayne get the papers from you.”

“I can’t let you have the divorce papers yet. I’m sorry Skyler.”

Skyler was deeply annoyed. With a cold and sharp voice, Skyler snapped and demanded. “Estelle Sanders, what do you think you’re doing!”

“I…”

“Using such lowly tactics just to lure me back. Why? Are you that desperate for a male company? If so, I can hire someone for you. Don’t come on to me, it disgusts me!”

Why was it that despite his voice sounding so familiar, she was not able to recognize him?

Before she turned twenty, Skyler never spoke to her in that manner. He was always gentle and always adored her. He used to be worried about hurting her by just holding her hands.

Unlike the present Skyler, his words were like sharp knives that stabbed into her heart.

Skyler could not take it anymore. “I don’t want to waste another second listening to your nonsense.”

“The stars last night were exceptionally pretty…”

“Estelle Sanders, stop testing my patience!”

“...I’ll give you the divorce papers. I’ve already mailed it, and you’ll receive it after seven days.”

Skyler’s breath got heavier and across the phone. She felt his anger surging. “You’re going back on your words! Estelle Sanders, have you ever been truthful to me? Five years ago, you got me wrapped around your fingers with your lies! Now, you’re doing the same!”

She was not angry. Instead, she replied with a gentle voice, “I’m not lying to you. I’ve never lied to you.”

“If you still have any conscience left in you, or if you feel guilty toward my parents, you would’ve agreed for the divorce right away and get out of my sight forever!”

She laughed, “I saw the newly added term on the divorce agreement. You want me to never return to H city.”

Skyler replied, “Yeah, I don’t want to see you ever again.”

“Sure, I’ll promise you that. After seven days, I’ll leave with no traces and I won’t show myself in front of you and Camilla. But Skyler…would you watch the stars with me these few days? Just once on whichever day will do.”

Beep——

The call was disconnected.

He did not promise her anything. He was not even interested in what else she had to say.

It was not unexpected. She was already used to his rejections the past four years. Even the feeling of heartbreak was numb to her.
