Chapter 4

calm face.

Bertha’s death wasn’t surprising to her, as she had witnessed the whole process herself. But when this fact came from the lips of Kieran Hernandez, her heart felt like it had been pricked.

She distinctly remembered the icy look in his eyes back then, as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

He sat elegantly on the sofa, legs crossed, his gaze seemingly veiled in mist. His faint lips uttered a weak voice, yet resolutely answered her, “No.”

Then he picked up the pen she had given him and elegantly signed his name on the divorce agreement.
