Angela's clear eyes reflected Kenneth's figure, but the affection that once filled them was gone, leaving only a dead calm..

"Lead our separate lives?" Kenneth uttered these words through gritted teeth, radiating a chilling presence as if he could freeze everything around him Angela nodded. "Yes, if you can accept that, then I won't mention divorce again"
