Angela furrowed her brow and looked at Patrick, saying, "Patrick, thank you for helping me, but I really don't want you to get involved in this. It's my personal matter!"

"If it's impossible, then let's just lead our separate lives without interfering in each other's affairs."

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"
