I set aside the packed items and pulled out my phone. After a moment of hesitation, I dialled Phoenix's number.
"I'll withdraw the lawsuit," I said when the call was connected.
The other side of the phone was silent at first, then an "Okay."
"However, I have two conditions."
"Go ahead."
"First, promise to lay your hands off the orphanage and Cannonwell Design."
"Okay."
"Second, I want a divorce."
I've already figured out that no matter how much I loved Phoenix, only Lola mattered to him.
Then I shouldn't waste more time on those unrealistic fantasies.
Phoenix had never loved me. It was always Lola since the beginning.
I was not conflicted about my decision anymore.
I thought Phoenix would agree without hesitation, but the other side of the line fell silent.
After a long while, he replied, "I can't comply with the second condition."
