Chapter 194
The car stopped and the engine was turned off. Conrad didn’t wake the woman beside him. Instead, he quietly watched her. After a while, he opened the window on his side, took mut a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and lit one, exhaling the smoke.
Moira was awakened by a dog barking. She opened her eyes wide, meeting the deep, dark gaze of the man next to her. Then she glanced outside and took a few seconds to realize they had arrived.
She looked down and unbuckled her seatbelt, reaching for the car door. Just as she was about to step out, the man in the driver’s seat suddenly spoke, “Moira”

Moira nodded. “I won’t pester you after the divorce. Don’t worry.”

Moira waited for a while, and seeing that Conrad didn’t say anything ebe, she got out of the car, closed the door, and headed towards the apartment building
After going upstairs, she used the key to open the door.
As soon as she entered, she saw the bright lights in the living room and heard Zea’s voice coming from inside.

Moira changed into slippers and walked into the living room. Zea, having just hung up the phone, happily ran over and hugged her tightly. “Moira you’re back!”
Muira was taken aback by the tight hug. “What are you doing?” she asked, a bit confused.
“I’m so happy today, Moira Do you know why? I’m one steps closer to achieving my dream.
Ze let go of her and was eager to share her news, but she noticed that Moira didn’t look well and asked with concem, What’s wrong!”
“Nothing”
Moura toused her bag onto the couch, headed straight to the kitchen, and opened the fridge, pulling out a can of beer.
She didn’t even grab a glass, just popped the tab and drank straight from the can
Sering her reaction, Zra guessed what was happening and asked, “Did you go on a date today?”
She noticed Moira was wearing a dress and makeup, looking like a young girl in love. It seemed that she went on a date with Conrad.

Moira sat on the couch, covered her face, and weardly said, “I thought he wanted to meet today to discuss the divorce, but he took me to meet his- friends instead. He said he doesn’t want to divorce!
Zeas ry sparkled as she moved to sit beside Moira.
“Mogs, since Conrad already said that he doesn’t want a divorce, why must you divorce him! tidn’t you say that you liked him?”
