Geoffrey didn’t go out today.

Early in the morning, he sat on the sofa, waiting for Maureen to come and apologize for what she had said and tell him that she regretted it.

During their three–year marriage, she had thrown a tantrum before.

But she’d always come and apologize to him shortly after making a scene.

This time, he assumed, wouldn’t be any different.

After washing up, Maureen stepped into the living room. As usual, she wore a light gray outfit. There was a suitcase behind her and a document in her hand.

As she handed it to her, he saw the words “Divorce Agreement“.

“Call me when you have time, Geoff.”

After saying this flatly, she went out with the suitcase.

Opening the door, she saw the clear sky after the rain.

For a moment, she felt reborn.

Holding the papers, Geoffrey sat stiffly on the sofa.

Minutes had passed, yet he still couldn’t process what had just happened.

It was the weekend.

Around this time every year, Geoffrey would take Maureen back to the Sutton’s mansion to pay respects to his fami- ly’s ancestors.

And his relatives would always look at them with strange, complex looks, their gazes a mingling of curiosity, schadenfreude, and ridicule.
