A moment later, she texted Apollo, ‘Hey, if I do find your father, what will you do?’ She added, ‘He’s a calm, collected, disciplined, responsible, and powerful man. Comes from a simple family, and they get along well.’

‘Sounds nice,’ Apollo texted back. It was obvious that he wasn’t averse to this and was fine with it.

I knew it. He wants a father.

While Alice was staring at the text, Keith suddenly asked, “So what do you think?”

“Not bad,” she blurted out the response Apollo gave her. She was just answering on the boy’s behalf. If Keith was his father, then it would be a good arrangement.

Ethan heard that through the phone, and he laughed mirthlessly. Not bad? What does she mean by that? Is she talking about Keith? His family? She’s married, for God’s sake. She’s my wife. I can’t believe she’d say that to someone proposing to her. Is she really trying to marry him? I’m still here, you know. Damn it.

Chris sneered. “She might be stupid, but at least she’s smart here. She knows she won’t be married to you for long, so she’s already finding an exit strategy. She knows you’ll divorce her eventually, so she’s not refusing. No, that’s acceptance. I bet she’s going to marry him right after you guys get divorced.”
