Chapter 8

No matter whether Melody believed it or not, at this moment she probably understood I wasn't joking.

I was no longer the Blaine who loved her to the bone, who could do anything for her at any time.

After the lawyer finished reading, the police didn't pay any attention to her as she zoned out again.

Because of intentional harm, she was also taken away by the police.

I successfully saw panic, surprise, regret and various other complex emotions in it.

But there was one emotion conspicuously absent - guilt.

Melody accompanied them, beginning her time of reflection in the detention center.

It wasn't until the day of the divorce hearing that I saw her again, looking unusually haggard.
