Neil scoffed, “How’s that good?”

He continued, “Do you think it’s better to give your number to a stranger you met in a bar, or to go to the movies and have BBQ with him?”

This was Neil’s real thought. His status was so high, yet his wife was going behind his back with another man. If this news got out, where would his dignity be?

“I see,” I was used to his cold words. After this incident, I decided to thank Neil for saving me, “Please give me the divorce papers as soon as possible. I don’t want a penny, consider it as payment for saving me. I value my life”
