When Nathan returned, Molly was already asleep.

I couldn't sleep, lying in bed waiting for her to come in.

The footsteps outside were stealthy, finally heading to the bedroom next door.

Ever since Caelan came back,

She automatically started sleeping in separate rooms from me.

I lay awake all night, my eyes open until dawn.

I was waiting for Nathan to bring up divorce,

Waiting for death's arrival.

Who says only women can be manipulative? Men can be just as cunning.

A few days before Caelan returned, he added me on WeChat.

I knew about him, he was Nathan's first love, and also her pure love, I knew that since school.

So, many things he posted on his Moments were meant for me to see.

Including a woman's hand inadvertently shown during meals.

A silhouette appearing in scenery photos.

And pictures of a happy family of three.

Those, I could all see.

I knew he was declaring war on me.
