Chapter 163:

Kristopher’s grip on the phone tightened, his knuckles turning pale. Elliott was known for his directness, always saying exactly what he thought. Kristopher once valued Elliott’s bluntness, but now it seemed careless. His annoyance grew, and he suddenly lost any desire to go out for drinks with Elliott. In frustration, he ended the call and his gaze drifted to Belinda’s apartment.

The lights were on, and through the light curtains, he could see her silhouette playing with a cat. Kristopher’s irritation deepened. He had just suggested divorce, and she had shown no signs of sadness or distress. Instead, she had simply gone home to play with her cat.

Watching her shadow through the curtains, Kristopher felt more conflicted than ever. It was absurd. He was actually feeling nervous about the prospect of divorcing Belinda. Kristopher remained seated outside Belinda’s apartment until the early hours, refusing to leave even after all her lights had been turned off.

A phone call from Cathy eventually broke his stubbornness. Cathy’s voice was laced with tears. “Kristopher, I had a terrible dream… I dreamed of the day Joyce was injured and saw her covered in blood, urging me to keep living…”
