Josh opened it and signed without even looking.
He didn’t forget to complain that I was even stealing the assistant’s job.
After taking the folder, I was about to put on my shoes and leave.
Josh said impatiently from behind, “Ashley, I want porridge!”

I turned around and looked at him calmly:
“I’m going to return the documents and then go to the hospital.”
Just as Josh was about to say something,
Nancy walked out of the bedroom.
“Mr. Montgomery, am I late?”
As Josh turned to talk to her, I opened the
door and left.
I didn’t see the meaningful look in Josh’s eyes
when he heard the door open.
After leaving the house, I pulled out the
く
divorce agreement.
Maybe it was because of all those years
together, but I had practically lowered myself to the dust.
Josh didn’t even look at the document before signing it.
There’s a 30–day cooling–off period for divorce.
Thirty days later would be the day I left.
After returning from the lawyer’s office, I went straight into the bedroom and started packing my luggage.

Josh looked surprised.
“Didn’t I say you don’t have to move out?”

Looking at the clothes in the small separate
compartment, I laughed self–deprecatingly.
After six years of marriage, these were all the
clothes I had in this house.
After packing my clothes, I put the gifts I had given Josh in a garbage bag.
I had prepared a gift for him for every holiday
and birthday over the years.
But now they were all piled up in the corner, gathering dust.

There was no point in keeping them.
As I dragged my suitcase to the guest room,
Nancy warmly invited me to join them for
dinner.
Josh was clumsily peeling shrimp for her, not
even glancing at me.
I forced a smile and said politely, “No, thank
you. You guys eat.”
Josh looked up at me after hearing this.
